so one person on the isaf side receives the exact coordinates.to his machine, which then brings up the -- a map, a digital map of the area. he has his machine configured incorrectly so that the overlay lines on it that look to be regional border delineations in fact was what i would -- what i believe was actually a roadway that was brought out in higher detail. but he thought it was the regional border. he had been told not to pass the coordinates, but to only give a general location. so on the isaf side, everybody had the exact coordinates, but it was passed to the pakistani lno as a general location, which normally might have worked had his machine been configured correctly. it would have been a little bit less precise, but the intent probably would have been achieved. but as they translate then -- and now he's talking him on, not physically walking over and pointing to a map. he tries to talk him on and says it is between where this regional border intersects the international border. and of course when the pakistani lno turns around and looks

. >> isaf usually leaves it to member nations whose troops have been killed to make the announcement. we presume that the assailant was an afghan soldiers and wounded at least one other. in a separate incident in afghanistan today, 10 afghan local police have been killed in helmand province when their vehicle ran over a taliban roadside bomb. it has been a difficult day in afghanistan. >> this incident of the two isaf soldiers being killed by someone in an afghan uniform, that is not new. >> right. it has been happening over the course of the past few years. they have been living very closely with western soldiers. this is probably not liked the 30th such incident where someone wearing an afghan national army uniform or police uniform has turned on their mentors or on their own colleagues. >> thank you very much. 2011 has been a difficult year for india's governing party amid corruption scandals, rising prices, and an aging leadership. the focus is beginning to shift to raul. plenty of people hoping he can revive the fortunes of his party. he campaigned in the most politically influen

a nato run component of the mission run in afghanistan is isaf. they tweet updates under the handle @isaf media. they tweeted this. but then another user replied with this. 4,000-plus coalition forces couldn't stop -- i'm sorry, i can't say the name of the place. 400 puppets won't last for long. that's a pretty specific response, probably because balky claims to be a spokesperson for the taliban. that's right. nato and the taliban started a twitter feud. better than the regular kind of feud that they have over there. the online dialogue continued with isaf posting, responding and vice versa, and the tone was surprisingly cordial and occasionally even slightly humorous until november 17th when this exchange led to this. your officials admitted to it, dumb dumb. and how can you talk about taliban when you cut fingers? et cetera. then dumb dumb how the dialogue elevates. everything you type is wrong. just stop. dumb dumb. seriously. but it didn't stop and the feud has continued right up to this week, almost five months since their war of words began.

and from all the various countries we have here at isaf. >> another group of u.s.ops in afghanistan celebrated christmas mass with the help of philadelphia's nbc station and a local church. the church got special permission to perform mass early and then the ceremony was streamed live on the station website for troops to watch overseas. >>> coming up next at 5:00 the obama 2012 presidential campaign looks to be one for the record books. we'll tell you what he's offering last-minute donors. >>> in a down year the salvation army finds a surprise at the bottom of a donation kettle. we'll show you why lightning can strike twice. and the as potential move to the south bay may be around the corner. we'll let you in on the latest word around baseball. c including starbucks. it's the way to brew everyone's favorite cup in under a minute. way to brew! >>> welcome back. the white house hasn't traded on wall street and the president doesn't answer to shareholders exactly but the decision 2012 campaign budget rivals some of the year's most anticipated ipos. president obama's c

the nato or isaf operator had misconfigured his overlay maps and the spot he described was nine miles north of the actual incident, which leads to all sorts of confusion. >> the one person on the isaf side receives the exact coordinates. he inputs it into his machine which brings up the map. he has his machine configured incorrectly but he thought it was the regional border. he had been told not to pass the coordinates but to only give a general location. >> reporter: in fact in the past when those coordinates have been given to the pakistanis, u.s. military commanders say those coordinates were misused and in fact the general described an october 6 incident where u.s. troops getting on a helicopter were fired upon by the pakistanis. so all of this leads to the tension and suspicion, suspicious atmosphere that was the background to this unfortunate incident. jenna: very important reminder about that though, that they felt uncomfortable about giving that information to the pakistanis for a reason, not just, just because. it will be an interesting story to see how we watch it develop fu

have the capability to sustain security forces at a level that will be required to take over from isaf and to deliver effective security, so the international community will have to deliver support to the analysis is medically that it expects its international partners to deliver an important portion of that support, and we are clear that we will have to play our part in delivering that. >> have you made any assessment of the level of force, the numbers that we will actually be leaving behind? >> of u.k. forces? >> yes. >> that question that we have not yet had. it is clear that it will be a small number. we made only one clear commitments so far, and that is to providing the majority of the staffing capability for the afghan national ormer -- national army officer training academy outside kaful, to which we will begin trading just over 100 uk personnel on an ongoing basis. if there to be further commitments beyond that, they will be decided in view course by the national security council. >> the talk about a minimum of around 100. you have a top-level? are we talking 500 or are we tal

but in this case, nato, isaf, and afghanistan says one of the drones is missing. may be that we had a mechanical malfunction, and there is a possibility the iranians have this air frame. jenna: is it possible that they have the capability to shoot it down from the sky? >> it's less likely than not. it's more that the iranians may have taken advantage of a mechanical or computer malfunction, and then used it for propaganda purposes. but in the past, they have claimed these shoot downs and been unable to produce any pieces of the drone, and currently, they have not exhibited any piece of the rq-170 yet. jenna: just so our viewers know, we are showing video of what this looks like. the iranians have no video or pictures of what they say they have on the ground. they are showing silent video as well. let's talk about the sanctions that you read in the senate, 100-zero when it comes to a vote in support of this and that type of bipartisanship, you don't see these days in washington but this requires sanctions on financial businesses that do business with iran. can you

big part of the discussion today, following up on our meetings in bonn and the ice after -- i sas -- isaf in brussels and data. the men and women of our armed forces have stood side-by-side and have reversed the taliban momentum on the battlefield. and our diplomats and development experts have likewise stood shoulder to shoulder to try to help the people of afghanistan realize a better future. as we talk about transitioning security, we look very clearly at the goal that was set at the lisbon summit. this transition is a new phase of support for afghanistan, not the end of our commitment. and we will stay very closely connected as we move through this period as well. i welcome the news that the foreign secretary will be going to burma. i think we have a real opportunity through sustained diplomacy to test the new government and to work toward the resolution of the outstanding problems that prevent that country from achieving its rightful place in the community of nations for the 21st century. and there is a very clear path forward if they wish to follow what. we, of course, discussed the
