Afghanistan we've there
have a surge by of President Obama
and all the sudden there's these leaks said they go to work in the same two thousand
and that they tell us that some stories we did not know a lot of it we
kind of new but if pushes out the details for example
we knew the Pakistani government was
of mixed help to us we knew that they were
working with said the Taliban a different time certainly over the stretch of the course
of these documents
and they are so you know from the beginning of two thousand four
for that end of two thousand nine
sold most of it is during the Bush tax cuts
so other but you you get four cents here of in your seat
well here's this specific general Jersey
and he comes and and he's a tight felt I would like about all right now you have the americas
of their unit the Americans over there
and that's our guys documenting right if it turns out they're right which would suspect
they are
wow that as former the secret intelligence of Pakistan Clinton not working them anymore
but apparently with no more evidence that he is
a God that somebody got hung up on the Pakistani government looking to kill our troops coordinating
planning in attacking our troops
over and over again
and he's as one of the guys that you see the documents
well that's bad news man
that's you know is Hillary Clinton is now you went over there and say all right we didn't
know any to Pakistan
seven and a half billion dollars over the next five years
so of course one of the questions that arises why we don't know fact that I get back to
that in a second day
now a lot of revelations
here it in of of these %uh week he leaked documents that we see
that is that of we've got a lot more is it simply is that we're letting up
internally in their reports the armed forces are you have we knew
that %uh civilians have been killed in one instance for example
we have six or seven other
but casualties other than that terrorist Al Qaeda guy we were
targeting a living
%uh and by the way they were all killed
and sometimes will say
something completely different the press
and what we actually know behind the scenes
for example of terms of Afghanistan heat-seeking missiles
now we put that all on that date did
it's all small arms fire that brought down that hall profits and it turns out now they've
got
he's the missiles
and that's how they picked up this one of our helicopters
now people say
well
but you know
and in this mostly that
I think it has most of its time in was offended it
while fighting the russians as of the point the point is they have more the don't think
that happened
but they have much bigger capabilities there were more trouble
in terms of of you know that the fight against that
as a nation
how the fight but you shouldn't at least know that an American public should know that information
the list goes on and on of course
overall picture you get
the fight against the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and in Pakistan
it's not going nearly as well
official statements would have us believe
again not overwhelmingly surprised by that
but interesting to see the details
and see how
a lot more screwed up
now let's talk about the implications
%uh what politics
does this leave you to go off
Obama scorned you see that with the sir
I don't think Obama should have done this or
so
you know
I suppose politically I would be
driven towards that conclusion
except
you know and some of the stuff is in two thousand nine when he was in charge of taming
but most of the documents
our before Obama incomes in office
so obviously you can't blame for that
but more importantly
Obama having seen this changes direction
so that's seven point five billion dollars going to his Pakistan for example
that's not first holes in its earlier
that's for changing their policy
is he getting complete picture with these documents 'cause I've been followed in the
in that
all or a
policies towards Pakistan very closely in the press
and we're getting better at
that doesn't mean we're good attitude of it at this point it doesn't mean we should trust
them completely not anywhere near that
it doesn't mean that some other secret intelligence is not working with the Taliban
but it does mean that we figured out incentives and disincentives
a little bit better
then the Bush administration used to do than the been you see in those documents
we're not blind to it's right
to those concerns
does that mean Texas you get the money
well look you know that's the really complicated question you really can't answer that without
know all that Hillary Clinton
Barack Obama and in general cott races that are no
the kids
you know we've give a lot a lot more interest rates and side effects than now
%uh they seem to be going after their own Taliban a lot more
enthusiastically if you will the democratic government has made a big difference
here
on the politics of it look for blame anywhere
all I mean the dive into the Bush era are is that streets
that for solo be
would that giving away money like crazy
Musharraf the dictator
and then their own it tells our own intelligence has run for office
oh no no no he's got everybody and their brother working
that help of fighters and Taliban and Al qaida
but that's an oversimplification
but there are still many different members of what they call the highest side
the intelligence that group for Pakistan
working
I I guess that's the key thing are for see what pressured them
why you know you know stop giving them money it's an absolute disaster
she leads Obama change that looked like they settled what was proper methods that
I disagree with Obama's policies overall
well we'll be back in a seething
well we've seen a civil rights changes
and that's what we were telling you
when those changes
we're taking place early on Obama's industry
but that brings you point number two
but the despite those changes
cannot policy in Afghanistan work
again you look at it you think
it know
air weeks almost every story and a is
but story of our night day
although people but much more importantly
people with different interest in our state not going to do what we want them to do it
and I'm going to do it
it's a blaring from the documents
so here ideally it persists example than I did it
this is where early on a two thousand three during the Bush that Europe up-to-date a new
give money for orphanage and we've got a young lady there was he doing there ribbon-cutting
ceremony like they would do here in the US
they've got all these different always the center on the cures for the kids
and even got a leather jacket somebody want to get a leather jacket to what was going
to work did she gives that school
they're taking pictures they give tax money somebody that
but I think it will come on how could you not have seen this are you crazy right
I know what's going to happen that money how did they not know what's going to happen and
of course will be whole
they go a couple of months later
and this was given to kids in the orphanage
they're only third
the early word on all the toys in the supplies go
and they can't seem to find it and right
they come back a year later
they're in a single kid in that order
well let's see if they think Barack that money in with the blood and then got out of there
of course they were going to do that you thought the do that don't exist don't they trust them
in
they will go towards the kids
no but the the recent that story because it goes lahore the problem
you were going around whether it's ninety two were even war
now smart crack the as well
without it we go our priorities democracy
I think that guy says are fantastic get them out
I thought the guy dealing with is a you see the red
nationally there are local
and then what a to do with democracy if your local tribal leader in Afghanistan
the mind is a gala in what got you that that of the but what about you
and what looked like it was a warlord
this though
you have to go toward democracy
so you know they come to wounded in and I think the evidence like hey
oh you like give me money such sentiments here
a lot of thoughts
out the GE will of the UDP I am
and so they think the fact that don't do what they think they did
to what extent and say what may
of course
so as you look at all this to say
however in a land
the bill have the same interest we do they don't have a set of priorities as we do
even the guys that are theoretically on our side of taking the money and money
on the Afghan police and and and
armies against external the stories
they're still corrupt they start holding up are koppel
it's a rather complex a lot of the guys I target was rest
the money well it's about this road
when Americans were the ones that put you in charge
the key of the month
well Mark
in other words even the smartest guy in the wild any of the most brilliant counter insurgency
strategy
it's not going to work
