S. Could leave. The post got 3,000 pages. They include memos from donald rumsfeld. He wrote in april 2002, six months after the war began, the fact that iran and russia have plans for afghanistan and we dont, concerns me. Help. A top adviser said in 2015, we were devoid of a fundamental understanding of afghanistan. What we were trying to do here . We didnt have the foggiest notion of what we were undertaking. What were looking at here is something that calls into question, not only our military operations, but also, is a dishonor to the sacrifices that have been made by the servicemen and women in afghanistan over these years. This is an inexcusable way to run things. George w. Bush said the u. S. Would be in afghanistan until al qaeda was brought to justice. He gave a timeline from a month to a year or two.

His wife, undergoing surgery for her own severe burns. And then, the missing. Five people, reported dead, eight people missing. And based on what were hearing from rescuers who havent been able to get on the island because its deemed to be too dangerous, they could see bodies lying there, covered in ash, as you heard the paramedic mention. Just a horrific scene. The tour Company Bringing people to the island for years said there was no indication there was an elevated risk for eruption. The alert level was level two, that they deemed to be safe. And now, officials are asking if new regulations need to be put in place to protect people on the tour. There is a woman that turned up missing, with severe turns herself. Do we know how many people were on that island . At that time, 47 people were on the island when the eruption itself occurred. But keep in mind, the number could have been higher. There were up to 100 people. Three different boat loads. Two of the boats had pulled away when the eruption happened.
