News agency. Taliban starting toting Machine Guns and a Sound Track of gunfire are fueling this Unease And Afghanistan among afghans. Look at the Cnn Photographer capturing these images. Rows and rows of men, women, and children clustered together, waiting on a way out that for some may never materialize. This is remarkable. American soldiers pulling a woman over the airport perimeter. And so is this. Some passing their children through the crowds. Passing their children through the crowds, willing to separate their families if it guarantees a way out. Were following the latest developments from the State Department and pentagon. Lets begin with Barbara Starr at the pentagon. A briefing not long ago, you had an important question for Admiral Kirby about a change in whats happening above afghanistan. John, lots of changes in the works. Important to tell people, the pentagon is basically now doing two briefings a day to the news media, putting their case forward. Today they said in the l
that s it. new ball. shots are 2-2. got by him. comes back with it! you try to put your entire being mentally and physically on automatic pilot while you re playing tennis. everything is concentrated on the razor s edge and you forget the score. you forget where you are. you forget what your name is. i feel like my body s floating within myself. the game of tennis is a symphony in white. players in white suits hitting a white ball back and fort. in all white country clubs but a new, young player has come along and he is one of the greatest we have ever produced and he is not white. i sense confusion in what an athlete should be, especially an african american context. does still persist in the world about black athletes because we tend to do disproportionately well in athletes. i like to fight the myth. there are lots of us who can think as well as run, jump, hit tennis balls, dunk basketballs. and the challenge now is to convince young black athletes that the
I also felt slightly helpless. things would be different now because he was sosht of seen as our knight in shining armor. crowds gathered within two hours of the death and they soon became mobs. washington, chicago, new york and pittsburgh. 100 cities rage with riot. uncontrolled carnival of looting began. 50,000 troops to stop them. i had not seen that much commotion in the streets possibly ever in my lifetime. martin luther king dedicated his life to love and to justice between fellow human beings.
To do with the afghanistan people. he said the opposite the previous month. i think that s the challenge for him. he has a paper trail of statements. joe biden would say, saying the opposite. and, in fact, what happened, and i think there is no willingness on his part to acknowledge his previous statements here. and sosht of eat that. i think people expected him to do just that in the interview. the fact he didn t do that is fairly surprising. let s listen to one example of that right here. the likelihood there s going to be the taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely. the idea that somehow there s a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing, i don t know how that happens. he cannot square what he said before with what is happening now. it happens sometimes. this is difficult. the problem is you want honesty and credibility from your president at this point. another thing, i brought this up
And the potential power he has as president of the united states to either overtly order an investigation or to encourage a culture where his subordinates investigate people who he think are the deep state rivals working against him. i think you can be sure we will continue to see sort of imperpetuity, anti-comey tweets and states and dements and gaggles and potentially chants at rallies whenever the mood strikes the president. the question is if he stops at rhetoric or tries to look to a now very friendly department of justice from that point of view and push it further. it is notable, again, as you said, this ig s report does exonerate comey on the president s claim that he leaked confidential information. harry litman, i wonder if you can just speak to sosht of the
