At cspan. Org, on our homepage, and by searching the video library. Defense secretary james mattis visited afghanistan days after an attack on Afghan Soldiers inside a mosque. He met with the afghan president and discussed efforts to combat the taliban. Following the meeting, he met with reporters. This is about 15 minutes. This is the nato commander here of the International Operation that has been going on for years. Needed a reminder as i stand here before you of the type of enemy we are up against, the killing of afghan citizen soldiers, protectors of the people, just as they were coming out of a mosque coming out of a certainlyorship, it territorys fight for exactly what it is. These people have no religious foundation. They are not about anything. Why we stand with the people of this country against such heinous acts perpetrated the word gets used to often, but this barbaric enemy and what why do makes it clear to me it is we stand together. I met today with the afghan president.
