about the dependence on the taliban to skewer the perimeter of the airport. do you feel there was a mistake made in that regard? no, i don t. look i think general mckenzie handed this question very well. the fact is we are in a situation. we inherited a situation particularly since as we all know that the afghan military collapsed eleven days, in eleven days. that it is in the interest of as mckenzie said, in the interest of the taliban that in fact isis k is not metastasized beyond what it is, number one. number two, it s in their
responsibility for what has happened in the last two weeks. i bear responsibility of all that has happened of late with you and, here is the but. i wish one day would you say these things. you know the former president, president trump made a deal with the taliban. he paid trip utility to the 12u.s. service members dying today in the attack and asked the nation for a moment of silence this. is the speech he gave. bill, your thoughts. a couple of things here. i will go quickly so everyone has a chance here. i think peter got as close to the essential question as anyone did. sir, is this on you. we heard that question from peter. with regard to the future here i thought he had a few strong moments. i would argue the moments were late by about ten days. i don t know if he will save the isis terrorists will not win, we will hunt them down, we won t forgive or forget. that s proper language. how you do that from over the
to hold the president accountable. we also, we have trey available if you have a question for him. you do, katie. yes. go ahead. trey, it s katie. you had the defense department doing a briefing saying rescue and evacuation efforts will continue despite the attacks today. do you know if it s forgetting americans, interpreters, afghans with visas considering how dangerous it is to get to the airport. the blasts today changes the equation. we were on the ground in kabul speaking with service members in afghanistan. i can tell you, they were aside happy to be there. they were not there for war. they were there for peace. they were there for humanitarian assistance. you sought smiles as they gave mres, water and candy bars to afghan children. they were there to help with the
former president made a deal with the taliban. we get all american forces out of afghanistan by may 1. in return the commitment was made, that was a year before. in return he was given a commitment that the taliban would continue to attack others but would not attack any american forces. remember that? i m being serious. no, i m asking you a question. no, wait a minute. i m asking you a question. is that accurate, to the best of your knowledge? do you think people i think they have a issue that people are likely to get hurt, some as we have seen
american citizens from islamic terrorists coming back to the united states. those are all questions that i don t think the president is up to. trey, we re yate full for your conk. i m sure when the president speaks today he s speaking to the american people, military, allies and adversaries in the region. what is your update now? there is still a major problem for the biden administration. they re relying on the taliban for information and security outside of the gates of the airport this. is clearly a coordinated attack. two blasts. one outside of the abbey gate with thousands of civilians. u.s. marines helping the civilians. then another blast close by at the baron hotel. isis k is reportedly responsible for the explosions outside of the airport. it begs the question how did the sue sued bombers get there.
