>> well, there is an election next year which hopefully will be a fair election. the one in 2009 was not a fair election. there were ghost ballots and excesses. unfor natalie we did not intervene. unfortunately we did not intervene. i think on this bsa, susan rice has it right. >> the security agreement. >> right. it has been negotiated and been approved by the afghan constitutional or whatever, assembly and it should not be renegotiated. i think our position is not leading from behind. i think our position is partnership with the nations of asia with whom we have strong trading and historic defense relationships. supporting these other groups which the administration is doing is the best buffer against china. hopefully over time if tpt passes the trade promotion griment -- >> if i can get back to afghanistan for a moment.
