Page 88 - Unconditional Surrender News Today

Us. bring in congressman michael mccall, ranking member of the foreign affairs committee. we saw your questioning of the second of state yesterday. what do you think of what he said today and what are the things i really zeroed in on was that this administration has said it was binary choice, get out on the date certain or face war with the taliban. he was asked about that a couple times, i dont know if you saw the answers. were you satisfied by anything you heard from him in the last two days? ...

Conditions-based agreement and it is just wrong. i cant imagine the former president, trump, allowing for unconditional surrender to the taliban, allowing them on the 20th anniversary to raise the taliban flag over the pez deshl palace and paint it on our embassy wall. the biggest point here is divergence between the intelligence committee community assessment and the state department. i was getting these back in may. april or may, very divergent points of view. intelligence community got right,...

A point that if it was safe to go to a point that if it was safe to go to a nightclub without a passport in july, why would it be at the end of this month? it is a very difficult issue but civil liberties and that issue but civil liberties and that is been the case all along and it has to be said that this governments handling of the covid—19 crisis, of course the government all over the western world in particular. taste western world in particular. we appreciate you coming in. straight from ...

First when president obama had a timeliness in the second with president trump with the unconditional surrender of the united states forces. at doha in the third is when president biden left. trey: thank you for joining us, but most of all thank you for your service in afghanistan, the best to you. >> still ahead its been nearly 20 years since the terror attacks on september 11, 2001 and it appears we just left afghanistan in the same state it was in which we arrive two decades ago, are we openi...

December 8, 2001, and kandahar offered us a small portion of the kandahar city and he would retain the arrest. and we said no it is your unconditional surrender and we expect you to be at this location to render it to karzai and if you are not there we will find you and handle it a different way. he was there and surrendered. karzai took kandahar and the rest is history. we cannot get close to the airfield we would have the 13 deaths or kabul, city that was thriving now as an utter cesspool huma...

Shifted to a posture of trying to, on its way out, broker a peace process. that failed. that ultimately wasted a lot of time. the wasting of time here is measured in real peoples lives as we can see at the airport. the war was lost in december 2001. the war was lost when the united states decided it would go for unconditional surrender. >> spencer, whose new book is out now. you should pick it up. i learned so much from reading it. i cant wait to talk to about it on our podcast. thank you. >> th...

That they were finish as a political force. but donald brownsville the secretary of defense at the time rejected the idea, and when asked about the possibility of such a deal said quote, the answer is no. he wanted an unconditional surrender. how did that work out? just to be clear, no one is saying that afghanistan would have become peaceful or violence free, only that we wouldnt have spent the next 19 year fighting in unwinnable war. more than 2400 u.s. members were killed in afghanistan, so w...

Ammunition and combat aircraft. so we all agree its bad right now. but did you know there was a good chance we could have maybe avoided all of this? thats because in december 2001 the taliban seemed to be on the verge of striking a deal with the afghan government to surrender. this was when they said they were finished but donald rumsfeld rejected the idea. when asked about the possibility of such a deal said, quote, the answer is no. he wanted an unconditional surrender. how did that work out? ...

Al qaeda. we decided we needed to get rid of the taliban government, and here we are, 20 years later. whats the alternative way we could have proceeded? >> the alternative way is to separate al qaeda that attacked the united states than the al qaeda that harbored them. rather than simply attacking al qaeda after 9/11. remember that in december 2001, after the taliban gets driven from kabul, after the taliban loses control. the islamic emirate falls, what happens after that is the taliban sue for...

Exceeded the most pessimistic of predictions. taliban forces seized control of the city of jalalabad without a fight overnight. theyve now entered the capital city of kabul. theyre negotiating with the government to take over the city without bloodshed. theyre looking for unconditional surrender. president biden yesterday increased the number of troops hes sending to kabul to help evacuate americans and our allies, and the u.s. embassy evacuation has now begun in full. in just the past week, the...
