engagements in afghanistan. the world is not going to simply walk away or abandon its investment in a stable afghanistan. our task is to leverage our commitments into a transition that prevents afghanistan from backsliding into widespread ethnic or sectarian violence. coordinated and economic transition will be challenging. there are several key steps that we need to focus on. we must prepare now for the afghan elections in 2014. it is the political transition that will determine whether our military gains are sustainable. our role should not interfere in domestic politics. it is critical that afghans must pick their leaders fairly and freely. transparency in new election laws is a critical step for afghans in order that they have a choice and a voice in the election. our strategy has to go beyond reconciliation in order to support a consensus among key afghan stakeholders. too many afghans are preparing to fight to secure their interests. i think we need to send the message that the united states supports a com

the ethnic group of afghanistan. afghanistan is blessed in that way. a fact use set of ethic groups. with a sense of nationalism underlying. third, a quick one yet. in 2006, i went to -- where the national afghan army headquarter was located. i went there with a national security adviser. steve asked the question through an interpreter. what are you most proud of? i'm most proud of the staff officers in the room. the personnel the intelligence officers and that operations officer. and we're fighting each other about ten years ago. receive asked the quo what do you worry about the most? that you americans will leave before it's time. i had been in afghanistan a lot at that point. i thought he was say before we got all the equipment to them, before the barracks were built. he explained it and said go back to what i'm most proud of. we are not ready yet to work together. we don't have the level of trust and confidence. we need you here far longer period of time for us achieve that. my view is you don't need 100,000 unit

what led to this war in afghanistan and that goes back to the one nine hundred eighty s. when or even in the one nine hundred seventy s. before the soviet union invaded in according to secretary defense former secretary of defense robert gates in his book from the shadows as well as president jimmy carter's national security adviser zbigniew brzezinski who said in an interview with nobel observatory a french magazine in one thousand nine hundred eight we drew this we wanted to draw the soviet union into afghanistan in the one nine hundred eighty s. in order to pay it back cord into them for what it did to us in vietnam so what happened was this is the same thing today on a different level it became a proxy war in which the united states used with pakistan its ally the mujahideen to fight against the soviet union and the people who suffered most far and away were the afghans today we have another form of a proxy war which has evolved into a proxy war in my view between the united states and its allies against pakistan pakistan very clearly is backing the taliban that's one

still doing in afghanistan. what well it's still those that have bases and weapons there afghanistan is strategically positioned next to china and russia and the middle east it's still hopes to another guest place wind runs through afghanistan and pakistan the president thinks that for political reasons miscalculating as he is that he is better off continuing the presence or the escalating very very slowly it's the same nonsense. the in listens that have kept this going for years and years i mean there are those profiting there are those in the military and in the military industrial complex with an interest in keeping every war going but the american people are against it only in the polls they're not against it in the streets i wish that the new york times had included some of the resistance among the troops who were refusing orders some on the veterans including veterans for peace working against this but the resistance isn't there the way it would be if obama were a republican. well you know as far as becomi

stability in afghanistan. there is no stability in afghanistan that does not involve pakistan on. there is no stability of pakistan on the design of afghanistan. we have a common interest to t this right on both sides. >> secretary of defense panetta indicated he sees no reason -- he sees no reason to end the drone strikes across the border. there was a pakistan a doctor in prison right now. sentenced to 33 years for treason for assisting americans in the search for osama bin laden. what does that say about our relationship with pakistan where it would seem they have more loyalties to osama bin laden than they do to the united states? you are talking about an international fugitive wanted all over the world and somebody goes to jail and prison for treason for trying to turn him in? >> steve, i defer to the ambassador on that. in a word i call it outrages. >> can you explain that decision? this is one of the problems with the relationship right now. americans look at that decision. they say, what is going on inside the pakistan government? what is going on inside the courts? they c

what is the position from afghanistan? crux i certainly share the hope and vision that you have articulated. afghanistan is looking to a future where were finally comes to an end and clearly wants to be in the region. pakistan is committed to maintaining the peace, security, and civility. we look forward to a time where there is a measure of sustainability and afghanistan. we hope to support all efforts in that endeavor. very quickly, i would like to say that most important in all of this is that afghanistan belongs to afghanistan time, which is an effort we all have to bring capacity and resources to. i say all because there is the united states with its big footprint. we are next door. to every difficult time and talents, we have supported afghanistan. i stress the position by saying, one of the primary concerns of women all over the world -- s p not just for pakistan -- is the status and position of women in the future where we hope there is not a vacuum in areas where local forces are not strong enough's or cohesive en

should not be in afghanistan at all i think that right now we should get our butts out of afghanistan as quickly as we can so that as few americans are lose their lives in afghanistan as is. as as possible if you have some perspective on this i know that you you know when you worked with reagan back in the late night plane eighty four in afghanistan against you or as it was over watching from russian t.v. i mean i i think that i was there with the mujahideen and where you also said the taliban wanted to form and wanted to establish a disciplined moral society what happens but now that quote what happened was i was opposing the taleban every step of the way and the taliban were not the mujahideen who defeated the soviet union the the the tell about a creation of pakistan's military intelligence so you cannot support the taliban and never. never but there's a couple two or three quotes that have come out. because i was opposing them and then it was a fait accompli they took over kabul and i tried to put. the most hopeful about clothes as they could be out for two or three weeks and then

policy in afghanistan. he suggested the project implemented in afghanistan will not be sustainable by the afghans once the u.s. leaves. he also called on americans to tell the government to bring troops home now. >> thank you very much. i tried to get here once a week to talk about our failed policy. last thursday an article reminded us of the difficulty trying to change a culture like afghanistan. for centuries the outside influences have been trying, but we are never going to be able to change the police systems and culture of the middle east. the "mitt could he" article stated that parts of afghanistan were stuck in the 14th century. we are supporting a corrupt country and a culture where it is commonplace for grown men to have sexual relations with young boys. the american taxpayers should be outraged to know that their tax dollars are going to support this kind of practice. yesterday "the washington post" published an article titled, "u.s. construction projects in afghanistan challenge by inspector gen

stating to them that this is afghanistan and it is not going to be exactly as you envision it so in afghanistan we created an artificial economy and there was no product a video of anything of any sort we created these institutions video artificial institutions i mean the police mostly led by the northern alliance and people had no other income they ended employing a being employed as police or soldier but they had their principles in values intact under one hand they had to feed their families on the other hand they had to defend their honor namely against the u.s. forces in nato enough of course every individual has a tertiary level and once they had seen the atrocities committed as well as the treatment of afghan soldiers in fact a lot and american aphis of have degraded many high ranking afghan officers thereby this in turn thing the the the troops and the followers of those officers and of course and it has seemed atrocities committed by american soldiers the koran burning seclusion of the bodies etc etc and the result was in this train will continue and this is not something that all. you
