we had to cut off aid to pakistan and that led while we didn't disengage completely from pakistan, it led to what the pakistanis called the trust deficit for 12 years. up until nine we really had a minimal relationship. our interests weren't always aligned. we try to replicate that. we tried love, we tried some threats and other things. we could never make it really work in the same way. with afghanistan it was more of a disengagement. we could maintain some intelligence and some diplomatic actions but essentially we were more building from scratch in the years right before 9/11, would we sent people in to reestablish contact with some of our former commanders. and then right after. we were building from a low base to develop knowledge that we had essentially lost over a decade. >> thank you. i would like to turn to co-chair jackson. >> thank you. i guess one of my questions which is you have a hook in your testimony, dr. vickers, on this escalation. first you could explain what that means to a non specialist audience. i think it's a compelling part of your argument. the second is a l

would be taking against pakistan. that is why a review of two of the diplomatic application and the eight --aid leads us to see if these are the two important and effective tools to apply in this situation. it was a critical and important leverage. it was not properly, in my view, used. it is something where they were downplaying or underestimating the amount of leverage the united states has in these situations with on and off partners across the globe, which are mostly based on a short-term interest rather than value. co-chair jackson: a follow-up on a different part of your statement. you made an observation there might be a different way for the u.s. to disengage from afghanistan in the end that did not involve undermining the host country. can you expand more on that? mr. nadery: a foundation for the u.s. forces, especially post-2004 in afghanistan and later on the bilateral security agreement in 2014 was signed with clear terms based on explaining what happened. the key concern in negotiating, the key argument i

pakistan has a long, long history of resisting u.s. sanctions -- u.s.ressures, doing just enough to get us off their back and then going back. and so we had tried pressure on them. we never had an understanding of how hard that was going to be. the alternative, understand it's going to be like sri lanka, it's going to be a 30-year war. and then footprint, huge question and different at different times. a little larger footprint early on and a little more, a lot more support for institution building i think could have paid considerable dividends. then you have -- and then you get into huge issues of the footprint's too large and it makes things hard but the although senative -- alternative is to lose the war. >> thank you. we're at time. i would like to recognize commissioner molino. >> thanks i would like to thank the leadership of the vfw. i can't think of a more appropriate venue for this important inaugural event so thank you to you. in two-and-a-half weeks, two few americans will remember the 13-year anniversary the deadliest incident for american f

i ask you if that's what we're seeing today with pakistan and india? president carter: that quote is remarkable because i was sitting across the table from brezhnev and other soviet leaders who are all sworn atheists in a communist system and when i said "god will not forgive us" it was a shock to the other leaders at the soviet table. i think nowadays the issue between the rest of the world and india and pakistan is the same one i faced my last year in the white house when i refused to send nuclear fuel to countries that were reprocessing that fuel in order to create explosive material, plutonium. this is a long-standing problem for the united states, how do we maintain an enormous nuclear arsenal and still insist that other great nations like india not have one explosive? so what i tried to do as president is to set a example to reduce nuclear armaments as much as we possibly could to adhere strictly to the nonproliferation treaty to form a testing ban and set an example for the countries that were technologically capable like india and pakistan but
