Media on their side and propaganda beyond what they ever could have done. so they have a certain interest in not having a bloodbath in kabul. they dont want to inherit what i saw in the 90s, when peter saw when he was the first in after 9/11. i was there in 98. they dont want to inherit that kind of city. they would love to benefit from the improvements, but not for a half population. i want to say one other quick thing that general mccaffrey may agree or disagree with. but on intelligence, reac...

We need to honor the sacrifices our allies made risking their lives operating with us on the ground. so i think thats an area of bipartisan agreement. theres a lot of questions that need to be answered in terms of expediting the vetting procedures. its been a mess behind the scenes in the last few months, a complete absence of planning on that very point but theres more we can do to get our people out and get our afghan allies out. >> should the deadline for withdrawal be extended past august 31...

Going to see, unfortunately, in the days and weeks to come is the re-installation of one of the most repressive governments or movements or whatever we want to call it, the modern world has seen. and it is a black eye to america around the world, whether or not its the right policy or not. a lot of people around the world will look at this and draw conclusions about the united states that will not be flattering. >> and director brennan, the president has repeatedly said that our mission was acco...

Said? >> hes absolutely right. what he said at the end of the interview was probably the most important thing. it has profound implications fo our home life security. if you think about it, pre- 9/11 , the terror groups were allowed to metastasize in afghanistan. weve already seen chatter that has sent out in national security bulletins about them trying to do something for the 20th anniversary of afghanistan. now the terrorists are going to be bold because america looks weak and they know they ...
