this bridge and irrigate this farm and all in a while you will be attacked and ambushed. i got my weapon at the lone already. i am asking these people to trust me and i don t trust them. so many times the taliban used those tactics and betting, i need you to take out as many americans as you can during this meeting and you will go meet allah. then it becomes just between you and the people. that was frustrating for me. it starts to wear on my unit and me. we are losing our nation s blood and treasure. that was a hard pill to swallow. you train us to be fighters and asked us to be nation s builders and we are forcing it down their throat.
the line on this infrastructure. we can t talk about physical infrastructure in this country and we allow the democratic, the political infrastructure to collapse and because of that, we want you to hold the line. let me keep it real. i think that most base democrats understand and trust that the speaker is sincere. she said she does this for the children. that s why she s in this business of politics at all. i trust her and believer her when she says that. i don t trust people like senator manchin and sinema. i don t trust them. making sure these things are fixed, the voting rights act is fixed. i don t trust that believe that. when you go to your caucus, will you say to them what latosha drown said. use the leverage you have. they have the bipartisan infrastructure bill they love so much. that thing ain t going to become law if the house doesn t put it
going to talk to you. at this point i think any information is helpful, if we can continue to have some sort of dialog with them although we don t trust them, i don t see how that s going to hurt us. we ve got to have a very strong filter, but the bottom line is, we re relying on the words of people who are beheading people in the streets and going to go back to a much different way of life for women there and who we fought to get out there have because they provided a breeding ground for terrorism. so it s not going to be helpful even if we re having a dialog with them and one thing for sure, we re not going to have intel on the ground about the isis groups, isis maneuvering there and al-qaeda maneuvering there, and probably going to grow in stature going forward and bad for the u.s. homeland security standpoint. the taliban was in control pre-9/11 and allowed the groups to metastasized and launch the
do you think every effort should be made to leave a diplomatic core in afghanistan? yeah, i think we have to continue to engage. not just completely desert afghanistan. we re thinking about the military option, after 20 years, a trillions of dollars being spent, that will not give us any kind of outcome that will be different for the relationship between the two countries. they have to stand and fight for themselves, and now the taliban is in. they made certain commitments. we don t trust them. i don t trust them. they say they will be different, they are different from where they were 20 years ago. i think they want to see they have some sense of credibility or something of that nature, that they can be depended on for foreign countries. so we re still going to have
answered why did he not act in june, and july as the taliban was taking n huge geographical areas in afghanistan and has not explained why he is sticking to the august 31st deadline and why does not the military stay until every american is out of there? am i i could trust the taliban, because i don t trust them, senator and i don t think you do either. no, sean, i don t. and he has not explained those things because they are all inexplicable. and i m glad that we could play a small part in helping syed and mohammed and their families get back to the united states. cannot be prouder of the men and women that have helped all of our fellow citizens. but i think that the news tonight gives us an example of why it is so ill-advised for president biden to be rushing with the august 31 deadline, all americans around the airport have been told toe leave immediately because of the
