"Is because the taliban accurately assessed That we were already on our way out the door you know. Violent attacks against security forces are at the highest level even before this recent two months have over the last two years at the highest level since two thousand one and yet not. A single american soldier had been killed. That's because afghans has been carrying the danger and the and were willing to continue doing so as long as the united states would itself as the leader of the international effort remain standing by their side and helping them do so. Seventy thousand afghan national security forces have given their lives for their country and we at paid a very high initial price but stabilizing The situation in afghanistan the last five six seven years has actually been a high price for the united states directly and i think sustaining that remained in our interests. I also think indirectly the consequences of as abandoning afghanistan are gonna be consequential. I mean if you look at the angry statements by british government figures. You know there are their defense minister. Crying at as at what is transpiring in afghanistan. Their effort to organize an international force to back fill last when we abandoned afghanistan You know that the british are so critical of the costs. We are incurring for everyone. I think should be significant. If i were an american adversary quite i would take away from. This is that the right strategy is to you know to just wait out the united states. And if i were a country. Reliant on american security guarantees i would be really worried about an american government. Unwilling to continue. Barry tiffany to continue carrying very light load of sustaining the positive progress even amidst violence in afghanistan. If the united states isn't willing to do that how can we trust them to do the really hard stop that we need all right so you you've both laid out quite nuanced explanations for the positions that you're taking on the question. I just want to ask you cory A little bit. Yes no on this. You're you you. You do seem to be saying that your main critique right now is a question of execution of the us mission. Am i correct about that. That it could have been executed in in a more productive way. Unquestionably so okay. My second question is are you saying. Then that there was a salvageable situation which okay. Secondly i want to take that back then to dan so again i want to explore the nuance that you've both raise. But i wanted to stay at the surface level right now dan. Do you think that there was a salvageable situation there to be brief. I think we miss that opportunity Years ago the situation. I wish the situation is the way that cory had laid it out that it was manageable at low levels but unfortunately it was deteriorating and the lack of attacks on us forces were principally in my mind based on the fact that the trump administration zalmay close automated deal with the taliban that they would direct their fire elsewhere so now i don't think it was sustainable at the levels. I wish i think it was probably sustainable are considerably higher levels years ago but that was not politically sustainable back here. In the states we agree on on what we mean by salvageable in other words do we agree on what. The mission was in afghanistan because president biden and secretary state. Tony blinken are saying it was a very narrow goal all the time and that was simply to get al qaeda inoperable And that that was that was achieved. But what what were the goals. What were we trying to salvage what we were trying to salvage was at creating afghan national security forces capable enough to do the fighting that the united states needed doing And did not want to do right. So it wasn't just a counterterrorism mission. It was always a mission at out training and equipping afghan security forces and buying time for the government to become stronger and more capable so that we didn't have to do the fighting that they have been doing dan. Would you agree that that's what we're talking about roughly yeah. I don't have a huge problem with that. I think one could Confined the mission even slightly more narrowly to say that what we needed was some kind of a foothold with some kind of friend. Either in the afghan government durell or otherwise that would permit us to continue a policy of hitting terrorist groups that would otherwise base themselves in afghanistan. The question for the biden administration. Now why the unfolding of this is troubling is how we will manage to attack those groups potentially as they reconstitute themselves in afghanistan going forward but we didn't have a great partner in that and the our partner was getting worse as time was going on not stabilizing or improving and that's that's where wasn't sustainable in my view. So so dan. You are essentially agreeing with president biden. When he said in his remarks recently that another year another five years another twenty years would not have made a difference. It would not have turned. This was not a situation that could be turned out. I'm not sure is as black and white as as the president is on this issue Had been in his position. I might have been tempted to to keep going. But i certainly understand the logic and has the situation unfolded so rapidly with Afghan national security forces of falling apart as quickly as they did. I think that does give some greater weight to the extent to which they were a week pillar upon which to build.
