i was paraphrasing what biden himself said. i m glad that you added your perspective. but biden in the statement today was essentially conveying that this was the deal set by my predecessor and i m just carrying this out. but i want to talk about the taliban. because our clarissa ward spoke to the taliban. they said they were more disciplined now than back in 2001. is the taliban more empowered now after 20 years? first of all, under your comment regarding president biden, his predecessor saw no reason to uphold the decisions made and the deals made by his predecessor. president biden had no reason to up hold the deals made by president trump. i think what s better in the taliban s case is not their training and discipline, but i think it s their public relation. they have demonstrated a strategic communications capability that is very, very cities indicated, not only to the world as they ve been trying
