dana: last question would be about our allies because it is not just americans that they would like to attack, we ve seen this in europe over the last several years as well. australia. nato allies. there are reports they remain extremely furious with the united states. does that matter? it matters an awful lot because what we re focused on afghanistan today, dana make no mistakes they aren t limited to afghanistan. they re in yemen, southeast asia, africa, every one of those terrorists is watching american weakness in afghanistan and i m sure they re all contemplating whether this isn t the moment to strike and well oel need our friends and allies to have confidence in us in all of these places. in afghanistan, too. that we ll be prepared to do and honor the commitments we ve made. they are all very concerned. i ve heard from many of them and very worried this president is not prepared to lead in the way we did for four years. bill: thank you for your time. one more question. why
