About. i was a reporter when this all unfolding and unbelievable to watch it that you were on the ground. i want to start and let's quickly remember withdrawal timeline. you will see this day by day, but there are two dates important on this. august 10th, the president said the taliban takeover is not inevitable. august 15th, the afghan government collapses. what gives? were they not aware? >> certainly, they were aware and the influx from afghanistan and the mountains. you can watch it fall as they went. i think they advise them not to do this but he chose to do it for whatever motivation is ...

Urgency since august 15th of last year. you know, there hasn't been a coordinated plan. there's been lots of statements condemning the taliban, but not much in terms of actual actions. some of the action that's we think that they could take is for one thing, 13 members of the taliban leadership currently had exemptions to the travel bans that they're under. those exemptions expire on august 20th. and we'd like to see the security council remove all of those exemptions and consider adding additional taliban leaders to be particularly involved in human right abuses to that risk. second of all in...

August 15th, so we're coming up on monday of the first anniversary of the taliban takeover. >> peter, what do you make of the argument then that the mission in afghanistan had been accomplished a decade before the withdrawal with the death of osama bin laden, that the united states didn't go into that country to prop up the nation with, you know, no expiration date, no withdrawal plans? >> you know, i mean, a reasonable argument, however, i mean, i think the counterargument there is the taliban are now stronger today than they were before 9/11. they control more of afghanistan, they're better ...
