0 also a key part of the plan was to maintain an embassy in kabul and maintaining that embassy would allow us to continue to engage the government, to continue to provide resources to support the afghan security forces so it was the plan was to leave a diplomatic presence there, and in conjunction with that plan we also were going to leave a small military force there to help secure the embassy, so that was the plan, senator. but you didn t address the issue that you made if it was your plan, you acknowledge it was your plan and your plan said you would do all these things before we got our civilians out. i mean, when in the history of this country have we ever had the u.s. military say and have a plan that we will take our military out first before we take our civilians? i can t imagine that. when you say civilians, are you are you talking. american citizens. american citizens, yeah. the american citizens would come out once a non-combatant evacuation is declared, and

and i m curious when it comes to the new taliban government, the acting cabinet that we ve seen, some names on that list obviously very concerning for a number of americans in terms of terror ties. in terms of recognizing that taliban government. your thoughts on where the u.s. moves at this point? well, i certainly hope that we do not recognize this government until we see their actions. it is very concerning. look, we know how the taliban acts and what they do on human rights, on women s rights, on girls. we also know they re included in their cabinet people that have committed terrorist acts. this is not a government that we want to give our stamp of approval to. we understand we have to have conversations, we have to be able to conduct some affairs in order to get people out of afghanistan, but i would urge the administration to be very cautious about giving credibility to this government. senator ben cardin,
