going to leave, they weren t going to just abandon in put down their arms in take off. so that s what happened. thank you very, very much. why do you continue to trust the taliban, mister president? for the first time is of the site standing at the signs sides of president joe biden, joe biden saying we will get you home, saying the past week has been heartbreaking, an american who wants to come home we will get you home. i cannot promise he said with the final outcome will be great he went on to claim that al qaeda is not gone from afghanistan. i have seen no question of our credibility from our allies around the world. i have seen the exact opposite. jennifer griffin as life right now at the pentagon. jennifer, that is certainly not what we ve seen, in fact they called the fall of kabul
i have five children. they are now in threat of life. it means that if they see me, they will capture my children i kill them as well. i wish i didn t work with unite states. he feels like his children will be killed, and you can imagine there are thousands of others in afghanistan who partnered with that united states and are now saying we feel like we have been abandoned . you can feel his pain in his desperation in you can certainl understand the despair in frustration that he is housing. he is worried about his kids, he s worried about himself, and he doesn t see a way out. that is ultimately the frustration particularly when you re trying to protect your family. he knows full well as do we. the taliban will systematically kill these people one at a time once were out of there and they have killed in the past many of their family members as well.
the world in all of our allies have agreed with that. by the way, before i made this decision, i was at the g7 as well as met with our nato partners in i told them all, every one of them knew in agree with the decision i made to jointly end our involvement in afghanistan. the first part of your question was i can t remember now. will you make the same commitment to bring out afghans who assist in the war effort? is, we are making the same commitment. there is no one more important than bringing american citizens out, but they are equally important almost are all of those people who in fact help us , they were translators that went into the battle with us they were part of the operation as well as were also trying to get out as many ngos, nongovernment organizations, women s organizations, et cetera , we re doing all we can.
have partners, we don t have eyes in ears, the reason the u.s. military can t leave the airport to go rescue any americans out in kabul when british and french special forces can do so is that they don t have any partners left, they don t have partners who ca help them safely navigate. i don t see how you can say tha with a straight face that they re going to be over the horizon capabilities to see the terror threat in afghanistan when this is all said in done. the damage done two international relations, international standing we heard as you said from international leaders around the world that nato allies or gob smacked at the senate announcement in withdrawal of troops from afghanistan. and i remember at the time when shortly after the biden ministration took over and the secretary went over to tell nat allies that, it wasn t a discussion with allies, it was we are leaving.
protect his identity. at now we in afghanistan. i am hiding in my friend s house . two or three times the taliban came in asked me outside my door . i wish i didn t work with the united states. to process all of these claims, if people can get to th airport, the state department says it is urging what he calls consular staff to process all o this. we know yesterday there we re about 20 of those officials working at the airport. it s unclear how many more are going to be there over the course of the next few days. adam boler has twice travele to the united states to the middle east to meet with the taliban. adam, it is great to have you o the show in you have some great insight for is here. i m fascinated because you say you ve generally found what you were talking in negotiating wit
