Government to recruit afghan soldiers. why do we have to recruit afghan soldiers? who is training the taliban. no one has to recruit them. they are fighting the future which is a dark, terrorist future but they don t have to be recruited but we re in this position where we are trying to recruit afghan soldiers. that s a very good question. it s clear that the taliban is a very extremist and very fanatical element. this is true of all insurgies. majority of people don t want the return of the taliban. they re afraid when the united states leaves that there will be assassination squads going around taking care of those who cooperated with the government and the americans. karzai is not doing the things we want him to do. i don t think there s any doubt about that in many respects. maliki was not doing things in iran we wanted him to do. he was perceived as weak. ....

Here. al qaeda was in afghanistan when they attacked on 9/11. they are in pakistan right now because we re in afghanistan. if we pulled out, what they have is what they had before 9/11. they have i mean, when they are in pakistan they are in the tribal territories. it s not an area that s connected very well to the rest of the world, and in afghanistan they had an airport. they had an economy, and they had a failed state that had no extradition treaties with the rest of the world so they can do what they want, and there is no way to get at them short of military force. you re right. they are in pakistan. but we pull out they will be right back in afghanistan. they have not attacked the west successfully since they had to vacate afghanistan. tom ricks, go ahead. i would agree with that. if you want an endless war, congresswoman, leave afghanistan right now and you ll find us having to go after al qaeda again and again there for decades. tom, the president has made it clear that ....
