This is going to be an afghan fight. Weve got to take this on. So theres a balance there i think but they absolutely do understand the sacrifices we provided and theres a difference between of his leadership we have today and a Senior Leadership in afghanistan and we were just a couple of months ago. You talked about the efforts of president ghani to reach out to the taliban and to try and begin some sort of negotiations. Can you give us any insights into how far along that is the . I would rather discuss that in a classified setting. And to what extent are the taliban and do we see signs that theyre being influenced by whats happening with isil in other parts of the middle east and the new reports that isil has begun to infiltrate taliban . The taliban and isil are like this. Have different ideologies. They want to fight each other so you do have some taliban that feel disenfranchised from the taliban because they see isis or daish as ugly to gain resources, another way to gain media
And pakistan. Do we have any sense how the public and afghanistan and pakistan views isil . I think it depends on where they are and how much they read or hear about it. If youre inside of kabul and you have access to the communications and newspapers, radios a tv, theyre starting to get that media blast of that. In some areas they may not know thats going on. But, again, it has come up quite a bit here in the last 45 to 60 days. President beganny has talked to the Afghan People about it. Hes talked to the Afghan Security forces about it.

A final question. Most of the discussion has been about how the national Security Forces are doing. But can you comment on whats happening with local Police Efforts and to what extent they are professionalizing their operations . Yes. I can talk more about kabul and
The politics, here is a reminder of what january 6th looked like. We want pence we want pence as if anyone could forget the chants of hang mike pence or the beatings or five people that died in after all what was an insurrection incited by president ial lays and enabled by republican lawmakers that went along with it. Not even those three weeks later, not even three weeks later the same lawmakers want you to forget that and theyre acting like they have. There is no better example than kevin mccarthy, Top Republican in the house and his journey from disinfecting sunlight to disinforming gaslight. Here he is a week after the insurrection. The president bears responsibility for wednesdays attack on congress by mob rioters. He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. These facts require immediate action by President Trump. Except his share of responsibility. Quail the unrest and ensure president elect biden is able to successfully begin his term. Strong ass

A three day ceasefire for the upcoming eat holidays that are coming in in just a couple few days and this is the very first ceasefire since the fall of the taliban and this is something that the former President Hamid karzai did not achieve during his term and our main questions today are why has the afghan peace efforts failed so far wary of the International Community go wrong and finally which prize will the Afghan People pay for a potential peace deal with the taliban im going to discuss these and other questions with my excellent guests today and beginning with i mean to say the former president of afghanistan the sickos i let afghanistan from two thousand and one to two thousand and fourteen he has been involved in politics still hes still an active very very active in the political field and he is hailed to for bringing different afghan political groups together and form a guy.
