the taliban agreeing to it and the taliban agreeing to keep that promise. still very tough going in afghanistan. tough road ahead before he can bring additional troops home. >> admiral kirby, listening to the bigger message. the president is there for the troops. had some turkey. he talked about, you know, also talked about how he, you know, cares so much about the military. talked about the, you know, fancy planes and helicopters that he was helping provide d.o.d. at the same time and boosting about the economy back home. what did you take away from his message? >> i was glad to see him go there. for the reasons barbara stated. hats off to him for going. frankly, i was actually pleased at his talk wasn't more political. typically what we've seen him do the phone calls or go in front of troops, it's more like a political rally. more energetic.
