dies at the age of 8a. welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. the us military says it mistakenly killed 10 afghan civilians in a drone strike in kabul last month, missing the intended target. seven of the dead were children. this is a major reversal of the pentagon's position — at the time, us officials said the strike was justified and righteous, because it prevented militants from using a car bomb to attack the airport.(read on our afghanistan correspondent, secunder kermani, had this to say about the strike. we were at the scene the morning after the strike, and it was a really terrible thing to see. family members combing through the wreckage, trying to find body parts
let me first begin by asking unanimous consent to enter into the hearing record a letter by the u.s. afghan women's council calling on the biden administration to take immediate actions at the united nations to protect afghan civilians, particularly women and girls. it is without objection and so ordered. let's start a series of seven minute rounds. i will hold the time tight so every member can get their opportunity and i will start off by making sure that i don't exceed my seven minutes. prior to the final flight out, we heard from both american citizens and afghan partners seeking to access the airport but they were either not being allowed through the gates, being sent back home or simply abandoned. while we understand and appreciate the security issues that were at play it is confounding that such a chaotic process arose to begin with. so when did the administration
this army and this government in 11 days. nonetheless, we planned and enter sielsed a wide range of contingencies. because of that planning we were able to draw down our embassy and move remaining personnel to the airport within 48 hours and the military placed on stand by by president biden secured the airport and started the evacuation within 72 hours. yes, that evacuation was an extraordinary effort under the most difficult conditions imaginable by our diplomats, military and intelligence professionals. they worked around the clock to get american citizens, afghans who helped us. sit since of allies and partners out of the country or to transit locations that our diplomats had worked. we reached out to americans still in country making 5,000 phone calls, sending 33,000
and pakistan who now see this void in afghanistan and all of them trying to fill it? >> bill: we'll speak live with tennessee congressman mark green. first to the pentagon we go and lucas tomlinson begins a new hour with new revelations on last month's deadly drone strike in afghanistan. what did you find out? >> good morning. officials said there was a bomb in the car heading to the kabul airport to kill more americans. the matter is under investigation by the pentagon. >> the assessment by central command is ongoing and i won't get ahead of that. the strike was taken to prevent an imminent attack on the airport. >> 10 family members including seven children were among those killed in the attack. the chairman of the joints chiefs of staff said there were secondary explosions. this strike took place days after 13 american troops were killed at the kabul airport in
>> dana: let's bring in three people working to help with evacuations from afghanistan. let me start with you, jen. you are efforts continue, i assume? >> yeah. more so than ever honestly because what we've learned over the last two weeks after the airport closed there are exponentially more people trapped than we thought. we have 20,000 requests, people begging project dynamo for rescue. and my little organization with the guys on the ground is having to go through all of these requests and vet them for documents and vet them. they don't understand their immigration status. they don't understand our immigration laws. they think they have something that they don't have. and they are just begging us for help. so in the last two weeks --
accurate records is irresponsible and a slap in the face for those who fought alongside us. we want to talk to secretary austin about this. despite the enormous efforts of our troops and diplomats on the ground it was a disaster of leadership and administration's own making. not only were you unable to inshire americans had access to the airport many were turned away. americans outside of kabul had no chance of evacuation. green card holders and sivs should have been prioritized for access to the airport as well. no mek nays *r nice many to get inside. it was a informal network of americans that helped get americans and afghans around the bureaucratic wall the administration set up around the airport. the administration is paying itself in the back is like an arsonist taking credit for saving people from the burning building he just set on fire.
americans and others to leave afghanistan if they choose. last week on thursday a charter flight with u.s. citizens and others on board departed kabul. on friday a second flight carrying u.s. citizens and others departed afghanistan. these flights were the result of coordinated efforts by the united states, qatar and turkey to reopen the airport and intense diplomacy to start the flights. in addition to those flights, half a dozen american citizens, a dozen permanent residents of the united states have also left afghanistan via overland routes with our assistance. we're in constant contact with american citizens still in afghanistan who told us they wish to leave. each has a case magment team to offer instructions. some declined to be on the first flights thursday and friday for needing more time to make arrangements, wanting to remain in extended family for now or medical issues that
begin to plan for a worst-case scenario contingency? >> in the spring and summer. >> in the spring and summer of this year. >> yes, multiple interagency meetings, exercises looking at the different contingencies. >> so what was the specific planning put into the likely scenario that american citizens were going to have to evacuate under hostile conditions? >> planning went to a number of things including the ability to move our embassy quickly as we did in 48 hours. including the effort to make sure we could control the airport, bring flights in and evacuate people out. one of the things that happened as you know, mr. chairman, is that the situation outside the airport became incredibly chaotic with thousands of people massing at the airport, massing at the gates of the airport and that created, among other things, a very, very
