good morning. president biden promised that isis will not go unpunished. he ordered the pentagon to draw up plans to strike its leadership and facilities. meanwhile the evacuation effort continues with just five days until that withdrawal deadline. the president said he would authorize more troops if necessary but says that he believes it can complete as is designed right now. president biden: these isis terrorists will not win. we will rescue the americans. we will get our afghan allies out and our mission will go on. america will not be intimidated. last update 5,000 people are waiting to get out in the airport. amid the chaos 7,000 were evacuated yesterday. more than 12,000 in the last 24 hours. there are still as many as 1,000 americans needing evacuation. the president said there is no
employment. guided by international human right norms. dana: a lot of words. bill: taliban doesn t give a damn what people think about them anywhere. absolutely. they think the u.n. and u.s. and everyone else are infidels and they are guided by god. then the u.n. talking about this when they have if you look at the united nations human rights commission it is a bizarre place where they have rituals where they condemn the united states and israel for apartheid and all this woke nonsense into the human rights language. i don t think this is good news or any kind of reassurance for the women of afghanistan. given the situation now maybe they ll change, who knows? i ll take anything. bill: back to tuesday they re back to the mercy of one of the cruelest groups in the world. thank you for your time today. dana: thank you. always good to see you.
ghani. we took over a billion dollars away from him when he wouldn t talk. we were putting pressure on the afghans to deliver on america s interests. we weren t trusting the taliban. we were delivering the things that mattered to american security and protected american interests throughout afghanistan. dana: yesterday biden said we will not forgive or forget. do you anticipate it would be possible to do some sort of strike even if it was inside afghanistan at whoever killed our service members yesterday? i give a lot of credit to our military and their capabilities. i hope there is still intelligence capacity there. i don t know if that s true or not. it has gotten more difficult. gotten more difficult for multiple reasons. they ve given the names of these americans to the bad guys. this is incomprehensible and reminds me of when president biden gave the identity of our cyber risks to the russians. this is so naive. they trusted the taliban to
president trump wanted to get our troops out. we never found the conditions right to execute what president biden chose to do. president trump wanted everyone out from january of 2017. we never found the conditions right to be able to do that so we withdrew from 15,000 to 8600 and 4500. thoughtfully making sure we understood we had deterrents maintained and protect americans we do so every single day. bill: according to the peace deal there are four parts. one of the main parts is contingent upon the taliban negotiating peace with the current afghan government. that never happened. either our side had to push them together or this was wishful thinking. which was it? well bill, we did have a push, no doubt. for 20 years the afghans wouldn t talk to each other. president trump had two mission sets. one was to get our folks out
take care of the paperwork and fly them out. what comes next is that we have as you mentioned isis-k. yesterday was responsible for the attack. they don t get along with the taliban one saving grace the enemy might be my nrend that case. elements of al qaeda and what not and no longer have a functioning embassy or military personnel on the ground. the administration s position is that after that 8/31 deadline we have to rely on the taliban to get people to leave. they have oef denied access to the airport. beating and whipping people including americans and a pregnant american i tried to get on the air base yesterday. definitely worried about long-term for potential hostage situations. it was part of my portfolio at the pentagon for oversight. 4100 americans in a country still lacking a lot of infrastructure and control with terrorists operating is a dangerous situation to find yourself in. dana: you ve tirelessly matt to try to get interpreters out.
