that was the same story in kandahar, afghanistan's second largest city that we visited last week, againunded by the taliban. many other cities in a very similar situation. more than half of the pro vengsal capitals are now under threat or have fallen to the taliban. the situation is clearly dire and there's a sense that it is escalating quickly. what we don't have a good sense of yet is what the government's response is going to be. we have heard president ashraf ghani calling for ordinary afghan citizens to go out and take up a gun, essentially enlist with your local warlord to fight back the taliban. that does not appear to be a very coherent strategy in terms of trying to put a stop to this lightning quick offensive that we've seen in a matter of months, literally since may, when the u.s. began its withdrawal. with the u.s. and nato forces finishing that withdrawal in the upcoming weeks, there's absolutely a very real sense of gloom and doom in kabul, the capital. for now it's relatively secure, but absolutely people are very, very frightened that that could be changing imminently. i

we were in kandahar, afghanistan's second largest city, we recently returned from gazny completely surroundedy the taliban. there's a very real, palpable fear here in kabul that things are unraveling at an alarming rate. we did hear from the afghan president beganny came out on twitter and appealed to ordinary afghans to pick up arms and go and sign up to join a popular uprising. trying to get the war lords who fought for so many years here back involved. that's not necessarily going to be a magic bullet, john, because the primary place those war lords were working was in the north of the country, the northern alliance, five of the provincial capitals that have been taken in these past few days have been in the north. so no sense that anyone knows how to stop this massive taliban attack offensive in its tracks and meanwhile, yes, u.s. embassy apparently making contingency plans, looking at reducing its footprint here, that of course flies in the face of what had been promised to the afghan government and that only then serves to further deteriorate moral here on the ground, john. >> that is h
