Events involving afghans at the airport. has this changed that situation? that is a question that we simply can't answer now. the president may know the answer because he's been briefed and has got access to information that we don't. we're in a wait-and-see mode. and it is possible that the pentagon at that 10:30 briefing will be able to lay out more detail about the scale of the attack and we'll see if the white house has anything to note as well. >> i did see a c-17 taxiing on the runway. we'll continue to monitor and see if that is an indication that flights continue despite the threat. wh...

U.s. personnel, there is medical treatment capability on the the airfield. the u.s. military doesn't go anywhere without its medics. but it is always a question of whether they will have to airlift people out of there if, and it is a big if, if there are serious injuries. so this is something that we'll be watching very closely. we're getting some initial indications that the 10:30 news conference scheduled here at the pentagon obviously may float -- may be delayed until later in the morning as they continue to try to gather information. what we know is from kabul to tampa, florida, the milita...
