The taliban control the country right now. the issue is nobody really controls the country. they had a breeding ground for these kinds of actions and people to come back and take road. thats what brought us 9/11 and weve got the same dynamic. >> right now none of those groups at least according to u.s. intel think that those groups have the capability of attacking the united states at least as of right now. what do you say to the average american whose first response to the 12 service members be...

And recognise that they are utterly intertwined and connected and what we are seeing is the establishment of a jihadist terrorist state in afghanistan and all of us will be at much higher risk as a result of this. you said in the middle of that answer, "it is time to think again." you are not seriously suggesting that the white house presses the pause button this close to the deadline? heck yes, i am. i guess the question is for all of our political leaders, what is the mission? is the mission j...

We sit on it and theres an attack its worse. thats how its worse, jake. >> kimberly, let me ask you because i dont know any journalist who has covered this war or any member of the milt who hasnt spent much of the last ten days trying to help people get out. whether its american citizens, legal permanent residents, sivs, just everyday afghans. were you speaking to an afghan family who was supposed to be at the abbey gate just this morning. >> ive been embedded as many have with one of these doze...

Afghanistan. um, it is full of instances of big -- um -- big powers going into small, poorer countries and thinking that they can overhaul them and run them and put in the government they want. and, you know, this is exaggerating only slightly. it never works, ever. and so, the u.s., i think, had to attack afghanistan in order to go after al qaeda in 2001. the question is why didnt the united states, which is really the george w. bush administration at the time, have a plan that was something ot...

Unfortunately and i know you are aware of that. thank you for commentary again. pentagon said to give us an update on afghanistan 50 minutes away. well bring it to you live. another briefing later in the afternoon as well as lucas tomlinson reports. not just republicans. some democrats delivering a hard message to president biden. what have they said to him and heard in return? thats coming up as our coverage continues. >> there was democratic pushback, there were democrats that were angry and d...

Has been chaos, a humanitarian cries. >> this comes at the tail end obviously of a 20-year war. what do you think president biden should do now in terms of the evacuation efforts in terms of the response to isis-k which has now claimed responsibility for this horrible attack. >> i think the president needs to work on his strategy and a better evacuation plan. they should have put together a plan months ago, not now. what happened should not have happened. think at the moment its a crisis happeni...

Like this. he said yesterday we managed to get afghanistan under control with 2,500 troops, it was a measured withdraw, bit by bit to where we had it secure. he came close to wanted to pull out our troops several times, but he listened to the generals. he listened to those around him and negotiated a conditions-based withdrawal. not only that, the taliban feared president trump. they looked at what happened to solo money. they looked at what happened with syria casting its own people. he took ac...
