SWIFT AND FORCEFUL. WE DEFEND OUR PEOPLE WITH DEVASTATING FORCE IF NECESSARY.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BANKROLLED THE WAR ON TERROR IN AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ BY AN
ESTIMATED 2 TRILLION DOLLARS.
THE PRESIDENT SET SEPTEMBER
11TH THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF
THE
TERROR ATTACKS AS THE DEADLINE
TO PULL OUT OF AFGHANISTAN.
THE TALIBAN DIDN’T WAIT.
ECHOES OF CASE ON WAY TAT.
THE PARALLELS TO VIETNAM FOR
MANY SEEM DIFFICULT
TO IGNORE. THE FALL OF SAIGON
IN APRIL 1975 SHOWED AMERICANS
SCRAMBLE OUT FOR ALL THE WORLD
TO SEE
PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID THE EXIT
FROM KABUL WOULD NOT BE HARRIED
THAT APPARENTLY IS NOT
THE CASE. JOINING ME ON THE
MORNING SHOW IS NANCY SODERBERG
FORMER UN AMBASSADOR TO THE
UNITED NATIONS AND CURRENTLY
VISITING SCHOLAR AND DIRECTOR
OF THE PUBLIC SERVICE
LEADERSHIP PROGRAM AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF NORTH FLORIDA,
GOOD MORNING.
SO THE PRESIDENT FINALLY
ADDRESS THE ISSUE
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON DID HE
ADEQUATELY HELP US UNDERSTAND
THE LOGIC BEHIND THE DECISION
TO MOVE WHEN HE DID AND
SUCCESSFULLY EXPLAIN THE PLAN
MOVING FORWARD.
>> THE FORMER
AND NOT ON THE PRESIDENT BIDEN
HAS BEEN VERY FIRM THAT HE DOES
NOT WANT
TO HAND. THIS LONGEST AMERICAN
WAR TO A
5TH PRESIDENT. HE WAS VERY
INVOLVED IN THAT DECISION TO GO
INTO AFGHANISTAN AFTER
9.11. FOR THE YEARS OF
JACKSONVILLE. WE ARE IN
AFGHANISTAN BECAUSE OF
9 TO 11 WHERE THE TALIBAN ON
THE VERY
SAME TOWN. THE SAFE HARBOR TO
SOME OF THEM OUT AND AS HE
PLANNED AND EXECUTED THE 9.11
ATTACKS WHICH KILLED OVER 3,000
AMERICANS.
20 YEARS AGO. AND WE WANTED TO
GET BIN LADEN OUSTED THE
TALIBAN AND TRIED TO BUILD
DEMOCRACY FOR
20 YEARS. AND PRESIDENT BIDEN
HIS OWN
HAD SERVED IN THE U.S. MILITARY
JUST WAS SIMPLY NOT GOING TO
HAND IT TO A SENSE THAT IT IS
VERY CLEAR ABOUT THAT, BUT I
THINK THERE’S MANY MANY MANY
QUESTIONS HOW DID WE NOT SEE
THAT THE TALIBAN IS GOING TO
FALL SO QUICKLY THAT THERE IS A
FAILURE
OF INTELLIGENCE. WHY WAS THERE
NO WELL WHATSOEVER FOR
THE AFTERNOON. ARMY TO DEFEND
ITSELF AGAINST THE TALIBAN
THREAT THAT IRAN HAS BEEN
WAITING IN THE WINGS FOR THIS
DAY FOR 20 YEARS.
AND ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF 9.11
WE WILL HAVE THE TALIBAN FLAG
FLYING OVER KABUL AND THE
GOVERNMENT TO ME
HELPED THERE. SO IT IS THAT
JUST A TRAGEDY OF
ENORMOUS PROPORTIONS THAT WE
WILL SO A LOT OF TIME TO FIGURE
OUT HOW TO GET
TO THIS.
>> JUST TRAGEDY AND HOW ABOUT
DISCUSSING AMERICA’S
OVERARCHING GOAL IN FIGHTING
THE PERNICIOUS TERRORISM.
THE CHALLENGE IS THE GLOBAL
COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.
>> THAT FIGHT GOES
APPARENTLY PRESIDENT. TRUMP
MADE A DEAL TO TELL HIM ON
WOOD SAID THEY WILL NOT LET
TERRI AFGHAN SO WE’LL SEE IF
THAT
HOLDS OUT THE OTHER PIECE
OF A CONCERN FOR AMERICANS AND
THE WORLD IS WHAT’S GOING TO
HAPPEN TO THE WOMEN AND GIRLS
OF AFGHANISTAN. THEY WERE
FORCED OUT OF THE WORKFORCE
KNOW LET’S GO TO SCHOOL.
AND OVERALL HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES
OF THE TALIBAN RELIGION,
THEY WOULD BEHEAD PEOPLE IN THE
SQUARE JUST EXECUTE PEOPLE
COULD HAVE
THEIR HANDS. I’M JUST ONE OF
THE ABSOLUTE MOST TERRIFIC
PERIODS IN THE HISTORY IS THAT
ALL GOING TO COME BACK AGAIN.
SO THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
I THINK FIRST OF ALL
LET’S MAKE SURE THEY DO NOT
BECOME A HOT BED OF TEARS, AND
SECONDLY HOW CAN WE JOIN
TOGETHER CHINA PROTECT WOMEN
AND GIRLS. THERE’S NO EASY
ANSWERS HERE AND IT’S JUST
ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING TO SEE
THE
SCENE SAID NUMBER ONE WE’RE
TRYING TO GET AMERICANS OUT
NUMBER 2 WE’RE TRYING TO GET
THOSE WHO HAVE
WORKED WITH THE UNITED STATES.
BUT THE CONTRACTORS SAY THERE’S
A HUGE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
THERE THAT WAS HELPING TO
BUILD. HE’S INSTABILITY.
THERE.
ALL THIS YOU NEED TO GET OUT
THIS NUMBER ONE RIGHT THERE ARE
PLANS THAT COUNTRIES AROUND THE
WORLD ARE TAKING THEM, I’M
WORKING TODAY BECAUSE OF THE
BECAUSE OF THAT BEING IN THAT
SUDDENLY HAS AGREED TO TAKE
SOME OF THESE REFUGEES SAID
THAT’S THE CURRENT FOCUS, BUT
THERE WILL BE A LOT OF MONDAY
MORNING QUARTERBACKING GOING ON
LIKE HOW
DID THIS TRAGEDY HAPPENED IS
THE WORST YET TO COME AND IF SO
WHAT DOES THE U.S. HAVE TO DO
TO MITIGATE IT.
>> THAT’S THE BIG YOU KNOW LOOK
WE HAVE 5,000 TROOPS IN
AFGHANISTAN EVERYONE I THINK
AGREED IT WAS TIME TO
COME HOME. BUT IF YOU LOOK
AROUND THE WORLD WE WE WE HAVE
30,000 TROOPS IN SOUTH KOREAN WE HAVE ANOTHER 50 IN GERMANY TO BEEN THERE
FOR GENERATIONS. IS THERE SOME
KIND OF INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE
TO HELP PEOPLE LIVE HERE IS IT
TOO LATE. CAN YOU TURN THE CLOCK BACK AND TRY TO RETAKE SO THE CITY I DON’T THINK SO.
SO YES, I THINK THE WORST IS
YET TO COME I THINK HAVING THAT
TIME ON IN
GOVERNMENT IN AND IT’S IN 20
YEARS AFTER 9.11.
NOTHING GOOD WILL COME OUT OF
IT SO MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE
PEOPLE THAT CAN
STAND HERE TRIED SO HARD EVERY
20 YEARS TO TRY AND BUILD A
STABLE SOCIETY AND IN THE END
DIDN’T HAVE THE WILL TO FIGHT
AND DIE, DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT
QUITE HONESTLY, BUT THIS SPEECH
