in kandahar there was a prison break in where the taliban successfully dug a tunnel into a prison and released over five hundred taliban fighters and that was largely blamed on the lackadaisical afghan guards and now they want to hand it over to the afghans another prison but it's not really a true handover because the u.s. is keeping a check on that they're not going to allow their enemies to release any of the prisoners the u.s. doesn't want released actually it's only a handover on paper that was going to be my next question because america refuses to hand over bob graham inmates that would be released by the afghans as they aren't really charged with anything is that essentially guantanamo but even worse as they actually have some way to go. slightly worse i guess you could say because they definitely could be reabsorbed into their country where they were captured in guantanamo to a lot of these people who were there were taliban fighters who were fighting the northern alliance before nine eleven they are prisoners of war but they're not categorized as such so they don't enjoy any

a turn for the worse remember that thirty thousand troop surge that happened in hell london coul kandahar provinces back in two thousand and ten well those provinces are still ranked among the most violent in the country and then there's the rise of the so-called blue on green green on blue violence green on blue meaning afghan troops attacking their u.s. counterparts this year alone forty five international service members most of whom more american have been killed as a result of these attacks fifteen in just august even the truth the top commander in afghanistan as far as u.s. goes john allen admits that he can't explain this recent upsurge in violence as a result the level of distrust is spreading throughout the ranks the u.s. military is even assigning guardian angels to watch over the american troops while they rest afghan authorities have detained or removed hundreds of soldiers in order to investigate the rise in attacks and the military has stopped training nearly one thousand members of the local afghan police force in order to better vet the trainees so u.s. isn't only dealing

the attack on the base in kandahar was the most offensive.00 million worth of airplanes in the death and tragic death of two marines and in syria, the massacre goes on. and finally in iran we continue on the collision course and the administration continues to try to urge the israelis not to attack iran rather than telling iran we are with the israelis and we have drawn red lines and they can't cross them. >> you are asking that we halt the draw down of u.s. forces there? >> well, i think we have to pause and evaluate where we are and what we do. it flows from the top. the president never talked about statistic in afghanistan or used the word victory. he continuously overridden the recommendation of his military advisors and reduce quickly and now announce withdrawals. he sent the message to taliban friend and enemies in the region that we are leave with draw they are making the appropriate accommodation to that reality. it was never basod success, it is all based on dates certain . believe me, that is not a way to successfully wage a conflic

. >> this man believed he was carrying out god's will when he carried out an attack in kandahar provinced to wear a suicide vest and kill as many people as possible. it's a special feeling that comes to you when you are ready for a suicide attack. no one can stop you, no one could stop me, that is except the law. when police arrested him five months ago in jalalabad, during the planning of the attack. he's now awaiting trial. proudly a member of the taliban, he says no one encouraged him to do this. look at our situation, the foreigners kill our people, they insult our religion, burning the holy koran and making cartoons about the profit mohammad. if we don't defend -- the methods of the the insurgents are constantly changing. the enemy don't use their old tactics, now they use women, sometimes children and teenagers, they even get dressed up in military uniforms, they don't fight face to face, they're cowards. >> the taliban denies that they use children as suicide bombers. just a few days ago, a 10-year-old boy managed to escape from insurgents whomp going to make him wear a suicide ve

course, a-1970's, of new movement saw light in the south, in kandahar. the taliban. antiquing in vantage, again, of a number of factors, international indifference, wariness and discussed by the afghanistan population and the pakistani support who desperately wanted to see someone bring some kind of stability to a country on its borders, managed to take control. clearly, their ideology was not harmonious with ours, but hey, we could live with it. we live with other disharmonies around the world could we had a series of efforts to engage them. and while these efforts under way in increasingly hospitable east of the 4 al qaeda made a taliban-controlled afghanistan look increasingly attractive. so there relocation took place in the 1990's. the step for the bombings, some really token missile strikes subsequently that rearranged some rocks and it was business pretty much as unusual. until 9/11 here and then, all of a sudden, we cared. my modern story with afghanistan actually goes back to that day. some of you, of course, have much longer and more continuous narrative, b

then in 2011, he did actually burn those korans, and he posted that video on the internet and in kandahar was such a violent reaction, nine people killed and 81 injured. so he is this small voice of a very small church in a very tucked away part of florida who has found a way to get a mega phone through the internet and capture -- and in this case, perhaps encourage, the outrage of a movie that really was obscure. >> when we talk about the obscurity of the movie, i have seen part of clips from the film, and it looks so low budget, nothing that can be believed to be a highly produced blockbuster that may have been miss construed to people within egypt and libya, to think it was a propaganda film to hit movie theaters on september 11th, but did you say there was a crew with him now? >> yeah, they are setting up with him right now. he agreed to do an interview. we have an nbc producer also there and is going to ask questions as well. we are not going to show that live, even if we have the satellite capabilities, because i would like to hear what he has to say. remember what he said so far ha

they just inflicked the greatest damage back on kandahar since the tet offensive. they blew up irreplaceable aircraft, and it's because the president has consistently overruled the recommendations of his military advisors. the chickens are coming home to roost, and the president won't even talk about it. >> let me ask you two quick questions. one of them i just want to say cnn did not put out the ambassador's diary. we did a report off of it. i want to make that clear to our viewers. >> by the way, i don't have a problem with that. the reason why the administration objected so vigorously because what was in what cnn reported. since when are we not going to publish materials that probably would compromise to our enemies. >> let me ask you, peter king has called for ambassador rice to resign. do you agree? >> i they she's the messenger. i mean, for her to come out and say what she said, obviously, was total ignorance of the facts on the ground, which, by the way, is five days later. five days went by. think sent her out to say things that were false and continue to b

the marines just lost eight aircraft and the squadron commander was killed in kandahar. >> does it --, we need to rethink it. >> do you think this means a more accelerated timetable for withdraw or something that's more stretched out than the 2014 benchmark? >> i think we're going to come out of there very quickly and my guess is we'll be completely out of afghanistan within two or three years. we won't leave people in there until 2024 and on top of that, you're going to find a growing recognition that if we haven't in ten years trained the afghan army and police, why do we think this last 18 months is so crucial? i think we ought to draw back on that training system. the pashtun south has decided the taliban are coming out and get us, the americans are leaving, they're going to the other side. i suspect essentially that's what happened. you know, again, i was sort of dismayed general allen said these people are attacking our troops because of ramadan fasting and they're thirsty and it's cultural insensitive. nothing of the sort. this is a widespread viewpoint. the americans are leavi
