7:04 am
>> mr. trump insisted his support for the embattled afghan government is not open-ended. major garrett is at the white house with how the president hopes to succeed where the last two u.s. presidents struggled. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. for years donald trump told america afghanistan was a waste of time, blood, and treasure but after months of discussion the pentagon and the cia, the president will not only stay in afghanistan but increase troop presence. there was talk of a harder line but very few specifics and even fewer benchmarks. >> the american people are weary of war without victory. >> reporter: the president confided to a military audience and the nation that a complete withdrawal from afghanistan was a real option. >> my original instinct was to pull out, and historically i like following my instincts.

7:07 am
bill? >> garrett gar, major garrett, thank you. the first u.s. troops were sent to afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks. there were nearly 100,000 americans there. the number now closer to 8,400 americans there. charlie d'agata has reported extensively on america's longest war and this morning is in the capital of kabul with the latest. charlie? >> reporter: good morning. when you speak to afghan field commanders as we've done over the summer they'll tell you three things -- they need a lot more u.s. force, need them in a hurry and as close to the front lines as possible. in that regard the speech left a few unanswered questions. as far as the official reaction from kabul this morning, that came from the office of president ashraf ghani who said in a statement i'm grateful to president trump and the american people for his affirmation of support for our efforts to achieve self-reliance. our joint struggle to rid the region from the threat of terrorism.
7:08 am
from the time we spent with u.s. marine miss helmand province, they are a long way from self-reliance. 40% of the country has fallen to the taliban. they're heavily dependent on u.s. marines, many who fought for the territory they're standing over, that very soil where so many american forces lost their lives now under taliban control again. the taliban have weighed in too, saying they would continue their fight as long as a single american soldier remains on afghan soil. gayle? >> thank you, charlie d'agata, reporting from kabul. congressional republicans are applauding the new strategy for afghanistan. senate armed services committee chairman kane called the president's a big step in the right direction. in a tv town hall meeting speaker of the house paul ryan said last night he was pleased with the decision. >> i think i heard a new trump strategy or a doctrine so to speak. principled realism is how he
7:09 am
described it. i think t's important when it comes to our blood and our treasure and our soldiers and our safety that we have a comprehensive doctrine we apply. and i think he spent the last six months working on that. >> for the democrats, house minority leader nancy pelosi said this plan raises in her words, serious questions. she called it an open ended commitment of american lives with no accountability to the american people. the navy announced that dives have found bodies aboard the u.s. destoroyer that collidd with an oil tanker yesterday. they've been searching for ten sailors missing since the collision involving the "uss john s. mccain." it's the second incident involving a u.s. warship this summer. now the u.s. navy is temporarily suspending all ship operations worldwide. ben tracy is tracking developments from beijing. good morning. >> reporter: good morning.
7:10 am
so the navy is taking what it's calling an operational pause. what they want to do is give their ship commanders a chance to work with their crews on team work after several incidents in the pacific have called into question the level of training. a gaping hole in the side of another u.s. warship could be a sign of a bigger problem in the pacific. the "uss john s. mccain" suffered extensive damage when it collided monday with an oil and chemical tanker while making a routine port visit in singapore. navy officials have not confirmed an initial investigation that points to a possible loz of steering but their review will consider all possible scenarios including sabotage or a cyberattack. >> we need to get to the bottom of this, so let's get to it. >> in a video, the chief of naval operations called for all u.s. navy ships worldwide to halt operations and review basic training. >> a more comprehensive review to ensure that we get at the

7:12 am
>> reporter: china is now taking advantage of these incidents with these u.s. navy ships. an editorial today in the state-run "china daily" said bluntly the u.s. navy is becoming a dangerous obstacle in asian waters and posing a threat to 1/2 gags. part of the reason china is saying this is because it opposes u.s. navy ships through waters it claims as its own. sfwhoo entree si in beijing, thank you. >> more than 40 people were hurt overnight when a commuter train crashed outside philadelphia. it happened just after midnight. suburban upper darby. the local transportation authority said the high speed train slammed into an empty parked train. at least four of those injuries are serious and one passenger described the moment of impact. >> my face hit the wall, put a big hole in the wall and i went straight down, i blacked out. it was loud and it hurt, but -- >> service delays are expected this morning.

tension here in phoenix, the city's mayor says this is not the right time for this large scale political event. >> i believe the true intention is to really inflame people's passion to further divide the country and that's why i said the president should delay this trip to phoenix. >> reporter: a major concern says the president could use this rally to pardon the lawman joe arpaio awaiting sentencing of up to six months in jail after federal judge found he broke the law when his office carried out traffic patrols that targeted immigrants. >> that would just put gasoline on that potential flame. that would be a really bad thing, not just for phoenix but for the entire united states. >> reporter: mayor stanton is among a number of arizona politicians currently at odds with the president, including some in his own party. >> it's a shell of a bill right now. we all know that. >> reporter: it was arizona's republican senator john mccain who provided the crucial no vote that doomed the trump

8:03 am
we are not nation building again. we are killing terrorists. >> major garret is at the white house with the president's decision. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this decision took months. in that time the taliban grew stronger, launching more attacks, gaining more territory, particularly in eastern afghanistan. as the president debated whether to stay in afghanistan and support what the white house calls a serious but still weak and, at times, corrupt central government in kabul. the president did consider leaving afghanistan entirely and gave thought to sending private mercenaries. in the end the pentagon and cia persuaded him to stay and add more u.s. troops. there is no exit plan, no timetable. and the white house cannot describe how to judge the effectiveness of this particular approach, saying only it will know what progress looks like when they see it. the president also stressed what he is not doing.
8:04 am
no nation building, no blank check. the ultimate goal? a political settlement with the taliban, and defeating of other terror groups, the same goals pursued by president obama. and, like president obama, mr. trump said pakistan must stop being a safe haven for terror groups. the united states has already cut aid to pakistan by 60% in recent years. the white house has implied it may impose more costs on pakistan either through sanctions or more targeted u.s. military strikes inside that country. bill? >> major garret, thank you. republican senator rand paul, long-time critic of u.s. military intervention writes the mission in afghanistan has lost its purpose. it's time to come home now. paul says at the very least congress should vote on it and i'll be leading the charge for no. >> meanwhile, republican senator, lindsey graham, who has criticized the president on other issues, praised his words last night. saying if it came to a vote he would urge his colleagues to
8:05 am
vote for it. >> i would fight senator paul tooth and nail to make sure we don't lose afghanistan like we did iraq. that's exactly what president obama did in iraq, was to leave against military advice. president trump has the smarts and the moral courage to listen to his generals and take their advice, rather than going the political way. i'm so glad he did. >> he believes the president would have bipartisan support. >> with us now, vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff during the administration, admiral, good morning. >> good morning, gayle. >> good morning to you. even before donald trump became a presidential candidate he was very critical in the obama administration handling of afghanistan and certainly turned it up a notches. he said when you sit at the desk in the oval office you are forced to make different and difficult decisions. what did you make what appears to be a big change of heart for
8:06 am
him? >> this was about the transition from shrill rhetoric on the campaign trail to adult grown-up decisions on very complicated national security problems. i give the president a little bit of credit for actually listening to his national security advisers, not just the military but the full spectrum of advisers. and he actually changed his mind. it was almost a stunning admission. >> and very difficult to hear that he has changed his mind. >> but it gave me the sense there are some areas where he realized he is outflanked in expertise and needs to listen to his people. i do think he asked the right questions, which is a president's responsibility to do. what are our security interests there, versus what we'll have to pay to protect those interests and i think he came up with a reasonable way forward. >> step in the right direction, you think? >> it's a reasonable way forward. minor changes to policy, to be quite honest with you. but, again, sustainable counterterrorism approach in afghanistan. >> admiral, the cliche question
8:07 am
is what can an additional 4,000 do that 140,000 boots on the ground could not? would you advocate a full withdrawal at this point? >> no, i would not. the president was clear in the ends, ways, means, balances strategy that our ends remain in tact there on a place like afghanistan, that those threats still exist. what he did was sort of fine tune the approach on the face of it, percentagewise, 50% increase. it's really only 4,000 troops, fairly modest increase. those troops will do more to train, advise and assist the afghan security forces to enable them to handle this problem themselves. >> do you think that this is really a korea-like situation that general petraeus said, that troops will bel have to be there for the long haul. >> >> there really is no crisply defined end state which we, as americans, love to have.
8:08 am
if you ask sort of what does victory mean in afghanistan, you would like for it to mean a nice, stable, afghan government that's not threatened by taliban or terrorists. but, in fact, it's probably -- the end state would be that there's no attacks on this country from that nation. >> you go to high school in america and ask how many of you are willing to die for your country. and every hand goes up. and then how many are willing to die for your county? in afghanistan it's opposite. a tribe that will fight for a valley or village but the idea of a cohesive country is completely foreign to them. how does nation building -- i guess that's what happened to nation building, correct? >> the president was a little bit all over the place last night. he talked about we aren't going to do nation building in afghanistan anymore and turned right around and talked about using national power, helping them with the economy and having an end state where the afghans can take care of this problem themselves.
8:09 am
that sounds a lot like nation building but he made it clear that we're there to take out the terrorists that threaten this country. >> what are the talking points? the obama administration struggled with this, too. >> you know, of all of our many allies around the world, pakistan is one of the most difficult. in that south asian culture they will undermine you at the same time they support you. we both have interest in that region. sometimes pakistani interests are different from ours and sometimes they coincide. there's no black or white you're with us or against us in pakistan. you have to deal with it as it is. it will take diplomatic pressure. >> we didn't hear a lot about diplomacy last night. >> the real room for diplomacy is to make sure that our nato partners are on board, which it sounds like they are, from what we're hearing from their secretary swren thgeneral this and intense pressure on pakistan to step up more than they have
