Also with us tom nichols, usa today columnist. hans, put this into context for us and the exclusive reporting that we have. so my colleague courtney kube broke this story that the white house intends to announce as early as next week this drawdown of troops. now, this is significant for a whole bunch of reasons. remember, it was about two and a half months ago that you and i were talking about that time that president trump invited the taliban to camp david and then canceled it abruptly and said all talks with the taliban were off. but at that point the intention of the president was very clear, that he wanted to bring down troops. at the time we thought they were 14,000 and there are actually 12,000. bring that down to 8,000 which they ll do through natural course of events going there. this wouldn t be whole units being drawn out of afghanistan. ....
