talking to afghans. that's not to suggest there isn't an external element. there certainly and is i would readily concede that. but our belief is that it will be necessary to bring bat political settlement, have the taliban come to the table and this why we have repet lid called for both ewan latllly and threw verious multilateral mechanisms to for the taliban to come to the table. unfortunately they have not been prepared to do that. this was an important factor in the president's decision to take the action he did against mansour earlier in the summer. so, we continue to believe that will be the way forward, and that is the belief of president ghani as well. >> i look forward to following that up on the second round. 'll say why i abhor pakistan's activityies and typed their duplicity hard to take, and my sense is you'll see a lessening to a grow of support for for pakistan because they know that our end goal is to negotiate with the taliban. that beats some over the duplicity because they're hedging t

we have been trying to shore up afghan government to shore up the afghan national security forces.hat is difficult to do when you basically secede they will have permanent sanctuary in a -- in pakistan. the afghan taliban for at least 14 of the past 15 years have been able to operate out with impunity but patron ship of the pakistani army. this goes beyond simply providing a sanctuary and safe haven for the taliban and their families but active patronage and support. we know the pakistani army and intelligence service actively engaged in training, helping them fund the operations and planning the attacks, including those inside kabul. i think we have to learn some lessons about this when the next president thinks about going forward. in may of this share president obama has authorized a drone operation as head of the afghanistan taliban. that's mission is very controversial. you would hear people say it killed the peace process and others say there was no peace process to kill. i think it should become a model . i think the next president should consider this and look back on how w

but the afghans remain on thee front line.y have a new air force, but it will take years before its at full strength and capacity, and afghan ground forces continue to take punishing casualties. last year more than 5,500 died and 14,000 were wounded. casualties this year are up an estimated 20%. the price of defending a country they got back from the talibanom 15 years ago. for the pbs newshour, i'm jennifer glasse in kabul. >> woodruff: stay with us. coming up on the newshour: 15 what 9/11 memorials mean to victims' families in their own words. but first, the analysis of shields and brooks. that's syndicated columnist marn shields and "new york times" columnist david brooks. welcome to you both. it's good to see you again. let's talk about the presidential campaign. david, we saw the two candidates together at the same place this week but not at the same time at this televised forum that nbc sponsored. what did you make of their performance and what they had to say? >> i thought they both lost, i thought america lost, humanit

afghans often say they don't want the u.s. to be involved and yet all the time that many politicians run to the u.s. to negotiate among the sandbox fights that are taking place. they are at a difficult position. in my view, the u.s. should be less engaged in holding the afghans by hand. at the same time, i say it having previously called for the most crucial and the most difficult element, the managing of the political processes and the many pernicious political processes. i also want to just end on, although i say that afghans also use pakistan as an excuse, pakistanis often use afghanistan as an excuse. the country is often troubled by and a veryance nefarious policies that sponsored the taliban. >> thank you. >> a couple of brief comments. vonda has had this a couple of times and i meant to comment on it. when i came back from afghanistan and i did my final briefs around washington, i talked about what i believed to be the future of afghanistan. i said that i believed with the right combination of sustained ansfrt by nato,

afghan interpreters who served the u.s. mission are being systematically hunted down by the taliban and we must not abandon them. the united states promised to protect these afghans who served our mission with great loyalty and at such enormous risk, and it would be a stain on america's national honor to break this promise. it would also carry profound strategic costs. u.s. forces and diplomats have always relied on local people to help us accomplish our mission. we continue to need this assistance in afghanistan. we need the support in other places in the future. and so you have to ask, why would anyone agree to help the united states if we abandon those who have assisted us in the past? now, this is exactly why the former commander of u.s. forces in afghanistan, general david petraeus, his predecessor, general stanley mcchrystal, have pleated with congress to -- pleaded with congress to extend the program. in a recent letter to congress more than 30 additional prominent generals including general john allen, another forme
