point. it is deeply troubling to see this in realde time. what role do you believe congress has and american government at this point in nt time. in 72 hours or less the american embassy will be closed. the americans told taliban stay out of kabul until her gone, which tacitly means you are coming in after we are gone. what happens? i know the secretary of state is planning to brief a bipartisan group of members of congress later this morning, here short lesion actually.he so we will continue to have these conferrings about what our role is moving forward. the house foreign affairs committee, you know, will dig in and ask these questions as well as well as the appropriations committee, when it comes to as my colleague, mr. krishnamoorthi mentioned, future aid as well. those will be the discussions we will have in the near term here.
0 going in and out of the country. if that were to happen, big if. then the u.s. military, who are there, they will work to defense any u.s. americans who are there and to keep the airport open so they can get the americans out safely. also, though, it s important to point out, you know, there were about 1,000, less than 1,000 u.s. troops who were already there. only about a1,000, not really full 1,000 have made their way in. that total of 5,000. they are not there yet. yeah. the current plach is according to defense officials is to continue to flow those people in. but this is all happening so in quickly, you have to wonder in the next 48, 72 hours f they are not in there, are they going to have time to get all of them in. a looking at pictures, with helicopter evacuations from the green zoneli to the airport, th are looking to get this place cleared out faster than it would probably take those extra troops to get in there. let s reset. it is sunday, august 15th.h. i m ali vel
