exclude them from the political outline of the new afghanistan, the conference hosted by the un in bonn five years they came back with a vengeance as an insurgency because they had been excluded. the other pivot point was almost exactly ten years ago, when the united states brought to justice but on the bin laden. based on a raid from afghan territory into pakistan. with that raid, the decimating of the al-qaeda network in afghanistan and pakistan, we had essentially accomplished our core objective that took us to afghanistan. that was another pivot point where we might have assessed that our vital national interest had been served and we would leave the future of afghanistan to the future of afghanistan to the afghans, which is essentially where it rests today. essentially where it rests toda . ~ . . ., , ., today. with much uncertainty to boot. ambassador, _ today. with much uncertainty to boot. ambassador, thank- today. with much uncertainty to boot. ambassador, thank you i boot. ambassador, thank you very much forjoining us. there are fears that a taliban government would severely r
