things i wanted them to see under both of these presidents and in both iraq and afghanistan, i wanted them to see what the washington battles based look like. they knew what iraq and afghanistan looks like but i wanted them to have some insight into the real world of what was going on in washington as big issues associated with these wars were discussed. and to give them some sense of the passion and the amount of time spent debating these issues and the decisions that they would make. and i think that it is a realistic portrayal of the wars that were being fought in ching 10 at the same time there were wars being fought in iraq and afghanistan. >> and a final point, people's memories are short, especially in washington that the reality is all through 2010, senior white house staffers were leaking what the president was thinking and what is conversations were and his criticisms of the military and so on and so forth. on a routine basis in the newspapers, so the notion that what i describe in the book is the president growing reservations about the decisions he had made is absolutely no news to the newspapers. we are

until then, a conversation on the way forward in afghanistan from today's "washington journal." host: our guest is the former -- we're here to talk about iraq and afghanistan. omen forbe afghanistan. bring the two together. i will pregnant together and get your reaction. afghanistan is trying to picture their country and might want to cast an eye toward iraq. they have reassembled, brought in fresh fighters and unleash waves of deadly car bombings. last week, al qaeda claimed control of falluja where scores of americans lost her lives in house to house fighting in 2004. guest: we have to be careful about withdrawing our support for afghanistan too quickly. the afghan security forces are now leading the provision of security across the country, but they still need our help. i think if we pulled out completely or too quickly, even cut off our assistance role, we could find ourselves with afghanistan sliding back into a more chaotic situation that would provide opportunities for al qaeda and the broader insurgency. the dynamics of what is going on in iraq are somewhat different. wha

such difficulty throughout nato throughout the west figure out how to leave afghanistan what to do with the taliban. so washington has spent billions waging the war and is still spending despite its mission winding down since two thousand and one it has cost the u.s. taxpayer just under eight hundred billion dollars and here is still to come in twenty four seen every american soldier serving in afghanistan will cost an average two point one million dollars was drawing isn't cheap either the u.s. has decided not to ship more than seven billion dollars worth of equipment so it will be all destroyed and a brand new military headquarters built in twenty thirteen at a course of thirty three thirty four actually million will probably never be used with the u.s. troops pulling out the are going government will now have to reach a deal with the taliban according to richard williams a former british s.s. officer. president karzai. those who have seen with him as they approach these next elections. and his supporters and those who he is supporting in the elections need to do a deal with the taliban going forward in twenty

for more on the instability in afghanistan, we turn to "washington post" reporter pamela constable, sheecently returned from afghanistan. and omar samad, a former afghan foreign ministry spokesman, who also served as the country's ambassador to france and canada. >> welcome to you both. what is this latee attack, pam, tell us about how unstable things are right now. >> security wise in afghanistan. >> i think it tells us number one that the taliban are very deliberate, very precise, very well organized. they target places that they know will have high symbolic value. especially to the international community at a time of great uncertainty about things like security a agreement, about future elections, everybody's very nervous already in the country, both foreigners and afghans. and i think an attack like this really focuses that fear and those uncertainties and crystallizes a lot of the concerns. and of course makes them much more personal and much more emotional. >> do you see it the same way? >> i do. i mean i think that afghanistan overall is going through a very difficult period. an
