and stopping money flow if the afghan officials don't live up to them, afghan officials notably hamid karzaihave used this as blackmail betting on the fact that the u.s. would be afraid to stop the money relest the government collapse. how is that going to change with a new government. and on the u.s. side, it has become clear despite hillary clinton's efforts some years ago to have civilian control of aid in combat zones that combat zones defeat u.s. civilians. officials don't get out of the embassy compounds. usaid doesn't get out of the compounds. they rely on contractors who don't get out of virginia. and so -- or don't get out of compounds. and it's the very rare case where u.s. officials are actually out there looking. so how in the world is it possible under those conditions to do anything serious about oversight and isn't in a wthat burn rate continues to be the metric. >> let me address with the issue of just saying no. which i think was coined by somebody in the white house dealing with drugs, i think. you know, you said president karzai or whomever essentially blackmailed us becau

the question is, what is hamid karzai counting on? thank you. >> you would have to ask him that. i do not want to make comparisons. they are different circumstances, different leaders, different countries with different challenges, but i think it is vital we have an agreement. there is no way that we can make the kind of commitment i hope we can make in the absence of an agreement. i would be surprised if in the end we do not have one, even though it has been difficult. there has been difficulty with president karzai. i am more optimistic than some might be, but i think we will get there. he is a very difficult person to read sometimes. and i have had the occasion to meet with him four times now. and often came away frustrated. that frustration that i have felt i think is shared by a lot of people, and it is another reason why we got to make sure this transition goes well, because what we do not have to happen is not the process go well, the electoral process, but you also do not want someone who is elected that starts out with a stumble or starts out with a problem that would be

hamid karzai says no, vladmir putin says no, and even our friends, benjamin netanyahu and abas are anend, says yes but. jenna: have you ever seen a time like this? >> you know, no. i work for half a dozen secretaries of state through several administrations. i mean, without putting too far a plan on it, the last effective truly foreign effect we had was under george w. bush in part because they really could coordinate means. there was a cost for saying no to the united states. right now there is no cost. and for the great power, that's incredibly important. jenna: our conversations could go a lot longer but appreciate the time as always. thank you very much. >> thank you, jenna. jon: perhaps because of a lack of street cred, russia is standing its ground refusing to pull back troops. we'll look next at the media coverage of the crisis and the president's administration handling of the situation. how prosecutors plan to lay out their case in california next. jenna: a jury selection is getting underway in the trial of osama bin laden's son-in-law. the man was apparently al qaeda spokesm

he said that directly to hamid karzai, to not make the mistake we made in iraq. we shouldn't stay unwanted. we are not interested in being occupiers. we are interested in being partners. i am happy to hear your testimony that the afghan people want us to be partners. it is the 12th of march. elections are going to happen in the next 3.5 weeks. you have indicated all the presidential candidates support a bilateral security agreement with the united states. this isn't like private support where they said we will sign a bilateral security. they are taken this position publicly in the midst of an election campaign and telling their voters, their electorate. we want the united states to stay. isn't that correct? >> this is the very first time they have had a very public campaign process to include televised dates. public appearances include -- it is absolutely their public position. clearly they would not be saying that if it didn't reflect the electorate. >> i am sure they're as responsive to the electorate as we are. this is not a minor issue in the presidential cam
