>> he was killed. whether he had official protection is something i can't tell. >> what do you think? >> really difficult to say one way or other but where he was, how could he have been without some knowledge. >> that's what a lot of people suspect. all right. let's talk about u.s.-afghan relations. right now you've had some successful, i think, meetings with the president of the united states. but a lot of americans as you know, and you look at american public opinion polls, they're concerned that they want the u.s. out of afghanistan, about 70% say it's time for the u.s. to come home, the u.s. is spending to keep 90,000 troops, $2 billion a week in afghanistan, $100 billion a year. why is this money well spent? >> we have already agreed on a process of transition to afghan authority whereby afghanistan will be looking after itself and after its security and the defense of the country almost entirely by 2014, and that's also the time that the american forces and other forces will withdraw from afghanistan. that transition and the eventual withdrawal in 2014 of the u.s. forces and other nato forces from afghanistan is good for afghanistan and good for our allied countries. today we discussed that. we have finalized plans. so 2014 will be a year in which the united states will not be spending as much money in afghanistan as it is spending today. it will save money and we will be providing security ourselves. >> but for another two and a half years until the end of 2014, there will be thousands of american troops in afghanistan. >> yes, yes. >> and that will be expensive. >> it will be expensive, like it was in the past ten years, but this is a commitment that the world community has made to the war on terror, to the security of the united states, to the security of the world and to the security of afghanistan. >> are you satisfied with this withdrawal schedule or is it too fast -- >> no, we are satisfied. >> are you ready to take over all of afghanistan by the end of 2014? >> absolutely. we have already worked out plan to have in six months' time 75% of the country taken over by afghan security forces. >> the new president of france wants all french troops out by the end of this year. >> and we support that. >> you're ready for it? >> not on ready for it. we support it. it's a good move. >> the chairman of the u.s. house and senate committees, they were in afghanistan, they came ba, dianne feinstein, mike rogers. they said the taliban is stronger now than it was a year ago. >> well, i don't like to contradict senator feinstein but if that suggests that the taliban will come and take over afghanistan, no. afghanistan has moved far enough not to be reversible to those days of the taliban -- >> they had a major show of strength in april when they launched that attack in kabul. >> that's a terrorist attack. >> that's the taliban. >> but that's not a show of strength. that's a terrorist attack. >> so is the taliban stronger now than it was a year ago? >> to put it in answers yes or no, you would not project the real scene in afghanistan. let me put it this way, that the taliban may have the ability to launch attacks, to explode ieds, to send suicide bombers, but for them to come and take over the country and take it backwards, no. afghanistan has moved forward and afghanistan will defend itself and the progress that we have achieved, the afghan people will not allow it to be put back or reversed. >> are you ready to bring the taliban into your government, to negotiate a peace deal with the taliban? >> absolutely. we have been working on the peace deal for a long time now and with quite a heavy dedication and perseverance. we will continue the peace process with the taliban, with our allies as well. this is something that the afghan people want and it is something that we have as an obligation to the afghan people to do. >> do you really believe the taliban will ever accept equality for women, women's rights, education for girls in afghanistan? do you believe the taliban will accept that? >> well, well, well -- we have to divide the taliban into categories. those cataliban who are afghans who have been forced out of their homes by circumstances or events out of their control, they are ready to come back to the country and participate in the life -- >> and let girls into school? >> yes. >> and they don't have a condition of girls not going to school. no, that has not been said. but those part of al qaeda, part of terrorist networks with those elements or such elements we are not talking. >> where does the leader, the former leader, who is now in exile someplace, are you willing to work with him? >> if he wants to have peace in afghanistan, if he renounces violence, if he accepts the afghan constitution and embraces the afghan people as his brothers and sisters and will be in respect of their lives, most welcome to have peace with us. >> so even mullah mohamed omar, who was in total alliance with al qaeda and bin laden before 9/11, if he were to pop up and your troops were to find him, would they arrest him, would they kill him? or would you negotiate a deal with him? >> we are talking of peace. we are not talking of arrests or killing. >> even -- >> we are talking peace and stability for afghanistan and we would give all those ofafghans let me repeat, all those afghans, whether taliban and other groups, who are not part of al qaeda, who are not part of any terrorist network, they are welcome. but if ethis are part of those c -- if they are part of those categories of terrorists that i mentioned, no. >> coming up, i challenge him why he's banning a united states congressman from entering his country. and the former secretary of state colin powell making news in the situation room, revealing his support for same-sex marriage. and more than 100 girls poisoned in afghanistan supposedly just for going to school. the faces on the trees... take away the pixie dust. take away the singing animals, and the storybook narrator...

you don't want them subject to afghan law. will u.s. troops who are helping you after 2014 be subject to afghan law? >> this is i know a very important issue for the united states, but it's also a very important issue for the afghan people. if a u.s. soldier like the one who went into a village and killed 17 people, including a pregnant woman with her baby, killing look that do you think it inmumable? can you give immunity to someone like that? but if there is an accident along the way and it is not intentional by way of a mishap, that's a different issue. so this is a difficult issue. i hope the united states, its congress, its government, will also understand the afghan position in the afghan view on violations of this nature. >> the u.s. military won't stay in afghanistan to help you if they're subject to afghan law. >> well we shall will talk to them about all these issues talk about afghan sensitivities and also hear the u.s. side as to what it is they are seeking and we will try our best to reach a compromise where afghanistan's lives and laws are respected and the united states also find it is easy to work in afghanistan. >> there's a ten-year stra tite partnership agreement. >> exactly. >> i hear you say there is no agreement yet. >> no agreement yet. it will be discussed in the security agreement. >> the troops go into the ministry of interior in kabul and afghan troops assassinate them in the back of their heads wearing afghan military uniforms. and this is happening. it's happened on self occasions. >> well, these are -- >> this is something that shocks americans because they're there to help you. >> yes, these are incidents. you have them within the u.s. troops as well. that is something that can happen anywhere. it happens in afghanistan, it can happen in the united states or elsewhere. >> should you apologize for this to the american people, to the american government? >> these are incidents as far as the afghans are concerned if something wrong is committed by an afghan and we feel that that is wrong and has negatively affected our u.s. ally, definitely. but in the same vein we would also expect that the united states would apologize for mistakes that are made in afghanistan -- >> the u.s. has apologized. >> -- for civilian casualties, for the killing of the innocent in afghanistan. so reciprocity is very important, that shows respect for both sides. >> i was shocked recently when i heard that you denied permission to an american congressman, dana rohrabacher, a hem of the house foreign affairs committee, a subcommittee chairman. he was with a congressional delegation, about to fly from dubai into kabul and you said you're not going to let this democratically elected congressman into your country. why? >> a democratically elected congressman should the be talking of ethnic divide in afghanistan, should be not interveering in afghanistan internal affairs, should not be asking the afghan to have structure against what the afghan constitution has asked for, should not be speaking disrespectfully about the afghan people or the various ethnic groups in afghanistan. if an afghan did that from afghanistan, how would you react to him in america? >> so you're not going to let him back into your country, dana rohrabach rohrabacher? >> definitely not. >> ever? >> till he changes his stand, till he shows respect to the afghan people, to our way of life and to our constitution. no foreigner has a place asking another people, another country to change their constitution. >> even after all that america has done for afghanistan? >> but that doesn't give you the right to play with our lives. >> and you think he's that dangerous to you? >> not dangerous. it's a matter of principle. international relations are based on certain principles. we are not america. we are afghanistan. >> but there is a concept known as freedom of speech. >> freedom of speech is good, we respect that, but the freedom of speech with regard to other countries is another issue. he has freedom of speech within the united states and we have freedom of speech within afghanistan, but if an afghan member of parliament stood up and said the united states should be divided in five different regions, will you accept that? >> the afghan president hamid karzai in my interview in chicago at the end of the nato summit. i later asked congressman dana rohrabacher to respond to president karzai's charge that he had been disrespectful of the afghan people. >> well, if i thought that i was being inadvertently disrespectful to the afghan people, i would apologize, but i obviously have a deep felt respect for the people of afghanistan and their courage and their principled behavior. they are tough people who are actually a model of courage in this world. so i respect them. it's karzai i don't respect. so i don't think i owe an apoloapo apology to the people of afghanistan. of course karzai is a corrupt and incompetent leader and i certainly owe no apology for trying to get the afghanistan to trying to do investigative work. >> as you can see, no love loss between karzai and rohrabacher. >> ahead, we have shocking details of a taliban alleged attack. >> and thousands of forces training near syria right now for a potential full fledged war. cnn is there for exclusive access to their mission. stay with us. technologies protect air - the by monitoring air quality and reducing emissions... ...protect water - through conservation and self-contained recycling systems... ... and protect land - by reducing our footprint and respecting wildlife. america's natural gas... domestic, abundant, clean energy to power our lives... that's smarter power today. domestic, abundant, clean energy to power our lives... have you ever partaken in a car insurance taste test before?

>> no, i don't. i've said on several occasions, to include earlier today, i don't think that's the case. russia has cooperated with us in some areas. they were with us when we did the first gulf war, you'll recall those days, my good friend, wolf, when we were together doing that. and on what basis would you consider them a geostrategic foe? foe means enemy. will we have differences of opinions with the russian? yes. will we get mad at them at times? that's part of normal diplomatic relations. it's a country half the size of the old soviet union, it's a country trying to fix its economy and bring wealth to its people, so there are areas of cooperation more so than areas of tension. when governor romney said that, it was right after the president had a conversation with the leadership of the russian federation and he said after the election i'll have more room to maneuver. i don't find that all that shocking. mr. romney i think took it to an extreme painting them as a foe. i don't think they are a foe, i don't think they've been a foe since the end of the cold war. >> what do you think of some of these national security foreign policy advisers who surround mitt romney right now? >> well, you know, ultimately it's mr. romney who is has responsibility for what he says. i know most of the people around him work with some of them, some have worked for me, some of them are a little more extreme than i am on certain issues. i'm in the moderate view. i think what mr. romney has to do is be very careful with these kinds of statements and make sure he's thought it through. if he's thought it through and really examined it and not just got a talking point from someone, then you have to take him at his word, it's what he means. >> you endorsed president obama four years ago but you still haven't endorsed him again. you're neutral right now. why is that? >> i don't have any obligation to endorse anybody at this point. i'm on a book tour. i'm in no hurry. i'm a political figure, sometimes people pay attention to what i say. i don't see there's any urgency in my making a statement. i'm a voter. what i'm doing is examining not only the two candidates that have emerged but also the positions they hold, the platforms they will present, what kind of government their liable to have or put in place, what their implications of their policies might be say with respect to the supreme court or taxes or how we fix our fiscal problems. so i don't feel that i'm under any obligation to make a statement at this time. >> what's the biggest disappointment you've had over the past three and a half years? >> i wish that president obama had been able to close guantanamo right away and not ask the congress for permission. we still are caught up with these trials in guantanamo that i think would have been handled in civilian courts with the proper authority. and for those individual who could not be tried, then tell the congress tell us how we handle these on a long-term basis. i think that was a disappointment. it as much a disappointment with the congress as with the president. i wish that we had gotten the unemployment rate down and i wish that the economy was growing a little bit more than it is now. and that's not solely the responsibility of a president. it the responsibility of a congress that passes all of these bills that spend money and it's also the responsibility of the business. the business community creates jobs. the government put in place policies that keep it honest and keep it straight but don't constrain the business community and i don't think we've got the right relationship between our legislators, our president and the business community. so i think the president has work more on that and i think that's what he'll be judged on in this election. >> i remember you were chairman of the joint chief when is you installed the don't ask/don't tell policy in the u.s. military. but what about gay marriage? are you with the president in supporting gay marriage? >> i have no problem with it. it was the congress that imposed don't ask/don't tell. it was my position and recommendation to get us out of an even worse outcome that could have occurred if you recall. as i thought about gay marriage, i know a lot of friends who are individually gay but who are in partnerships with loved one and they are as stable a family as my family is and they raise children so i don't see any reason not to say that they should be able to get married under the laws of their state or the laws of the country, however that turns out. and it seems to be the laws of the state. there may be religious objections to it and i respect the fact that many denominations have different points of view with respect to gay marriage and they can hold that in the sanctity of their religion and not bless them. but creating a contract between two people called marriage and allowing them to live together with the protection of law seems to me the way we should be moving in this country so i support the president's decision and i think most persons increasingly understand that times have changed, just like they changed between gays in the military and when i was able to support removing that barrier to service. so i hope everyone -- but at the same time we are a country that is open to diversity and change and my experience with many of my gay and lesbian friends is they form unions as strong as any other unions i've seen and raise children that are good, strong children and are either homosexual, heterosexual or lesbian, depending on themselves, not because their parents happen to be. >> you've written a really powerful book "it worked for me in life and leadership" with a lot of advice for young, middle aged and old. the stories you tell are really powerful. one section jumped out at page 217 when you write this, "february 5, 2003, the day of the speech is as burned in my memory as my own birthday. the event will earn a prominent paragraph in my obituary. you're referring to the day you testified before the united nations security council saying there were in fact weapons of mass destruction in iraq that led to the war in iraq, as you well remember. here is what you told the world on that day. listen. >> my colleagues, every statement i make today is backed up by sources, solid sources. these are not assertions. what we're giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence. >> and in the book you go through an explanation of how you got it wrong, how the u.s. intelligence community got it wrong. was that the biggest intelligence blunder of your professional career? >> of my professional career, yes, one of the biggest, if not the biggest. and the reason i wrote that couple of sentences was because i get asked about this every single day. and i get accused almost every single day of having invented the intelligence. but i didn't invent the intelligence. that intelligence information, and you saw the cia director sitting right behind me while i made this presentation, that intelligence information was in a national intelligence estimate that was given to the congress four months before my speech and caused the congress to vote overwhelmingly for the president to go to war if he found it necessary. our allies believed, it our commanders believed it, the cia believed it, the intelligence community believed it. and when it started to unravel, it was troubling to me because my presentation was the most vivid one, the most dramatic one, the one that's most remembered. but it wasn't anything that was made up by me. it was what the intelligence community believed, and months later the intelligence community still stood behind the judgments they made at that time. should they have known some of those judgments were incorrect? that's the rhetorical question i ask in that chapter of the book. >> gloria borger is here. he's not reendorsing the president, at least not yet. my instincts telling me between the line, i suspect he will. >> i suspect he, will too, especially because he jabbed mitt romney about foreign policy a little bit and russia, whether it was our number one enemy out there. i think colin powell may have wanted the president to do more to reduce the deficit. he's always been kind of a fiscal conservative and you could sort of see where the reticence comes from but in the end i think he'll probably come down on the fact that he believes barack obama has been kind of a muscular president on foreign policy. >> and he also believes the president is right in now supporting same-sex marriage and romney presumably colin powell believes is way wrong on this. when i asked him the question about same-sex marriage, i wasn't sure what he was going to say. he didn't really speak out about it, even though he did have a position years ago about don't ask/don't tell in the military. all of a sudden he went to this robust defense of same-sex marriage. he feels very comfortable with the president on this issue. >> when you look back on colin powell's career, yes, he endorsed don't ask/don't tell. but he's always been culturally a little to the left of conservatives within his own party and he's been very strong on defense, very strong on foreign policy, conservative fiscally. it don't surprise me in a way he would have moved toward gay marriage, which is where the president is right now. but i think that -- and so on the cultural side i think he and romney might have some real differences. and i think that's one of the reasons why in the end colin powell never ran for the presidency himself, because he didn't feel that there was that fit for him in the republican party. >> a lot of people wanted him to. >> they did. >> he might have been the first african-american president of the united states. >> that's right, history. >> that's something historians can discuss down the road. gloria, thanks very much. in the middle east right now thousands of u.s. and ally forces training for a nightmare scenario. we have an inside look you'll see only here on cnn. and a hero feels extra pressure as he races to save a woman from the subway tracks and his kid are watching in horror. down here, folks measure commitment by what's getting done. the twenty billion dollars bp committed has helped fund economic and environmental recovery. long-term, bp's made a five hundred million dollar commitment to support scientists studying the environment. and the gulf is open for business - the beaches are beautiful, the seafood is delicious. last year, many areas even reported record tourism seasons. the progress continues... but that doesn't mean our job is done. we're still committed to seeing this through. you know who you are. you can part a crowd, without saying a word. you have yet to master the quiet sneeze. you stash tissues like a squirrel stashes nuts. well, muddlers, muddle no more. try zyrtec®. it gives you powerful allergy relief. and zyrtec® is different than claritin® because zyrtec® starts working at hour 1 on the first day you take it. claritin® doesn't start working until hour 3. zyrtec®. love the air.
