forces out of his country sooner than planned. >> karzai claimed that the u.s.and taliban were in effect working together to destabilize his country. >> since the notoriously difficult afghan president would not sign a troop agreement there was nothing for it but to start planning for pulling all american forces out by the end of this year. >> jon: end of the year, you poor, sweet, man. here is the thing about america, have you been paying attention over the past -- ever? [laughter] we're not big leavers. ask the philippines. they keep kicking us out and we come back. south korea we're still in cuba and they've never (bleep) liked us. i can think of one specific afghani -- i can think of one specific afghani person who has been happy to accept our help. >> the c.i.a. has reportedly supplied between $50 and $100 million over the past decade in direct cash payoffs to president karzai. >> dropping off bags of cash at his national security office $300,000 a month. >> jon: i guess those capes aren't going to weave themselves. [ laughter ] well, at least there's one a

why is karzai breaking with the west and how could it impact the united states?ormer secretary of state -- former secretary of defense donald rumsfeld joins us. good evening, sir. >> good evening. statement by former president karzai annexes crimea. what do you make of him doing that? >> well, i think it's important, particularly for the young men and women who served in afghanistan to appreciate the fact that karzai originally was selected to become president by the loya jirga the conference because he didn't have a militia. he was weaker than most of the tribal leaders. he, therefore, the country was not really used to a strong central government. what's happened is the united states government and he i realize these are tough jobs being president or secretary of state. but, by golly, they have trashed karzai publicly over and over and over hole book, the special enjoy did. vice president biden did. secretary hillary clinton has. the president has been unblefnt to him. and it seems to me they put him in a political box where he really has very little choice. i

is president karzai firmly in control? guest: he has been a contentious leader since his last election in 2009. there areon has been questions about the way he was voted in. a lot of improper uses of polls and so on. a lot of corruption. is he acting logically? given the circumstances that he faces and the fact he has multiple audiences, afghan, regional, the united dates, nato, his own personal interest, it is hard to say that being is not a relatively sane response. try to push them out of power as early as 2009. he believes the obama administration is completely against them. president obama did talk to him the other day. the first time since june. karzai has made it clear that he says of this as something less the interest of and certainlyl serving his political interests and more serving a very narrow conception of u.s. interest fighting terrorists. is not sure that working with us is in his best interest. he is working against us. that has been true for a while. decisionthey make a point, our guest is with the counci

that is despite president karzai's refusal to include the agreement now. but i am afraid that this delay -- couldll move costly still prove costly. thank you. [applause] >> today, the american-israel public affairs committee or ai pac begins its annual conference in washington dc. we will hear from senator john mccain starting live at 10 a.m. eastern on c-span. later in the afternoon on life -- our live coverage continues with secretary of state john kerry and new york senator john schumer, beginning at 5:00 p.m. eastern on c-span three. >> next, the future of u.s.-afghanistan relations. speakers include former special representative for afghanistan marc grossman. this is hosted by the u.s. institute of peace. this panel is one hour and 10 minutes. welcome on behalf of u.s. ip. i would like to thank all of you for coming, and our distinguished guests. we also want to thank our panelists for this first panel which is titled "the united states and afghanistan, the longview. view.the long -- the longview." given policy relations of late, there is lots of focu

president karzai is still 70% popular in afghanistan. he is not 70% popular in washington, but he is 70% popular in afghanistan. i'm trying to think through this question ron and i were focusing on. what are rassoul's real prospects? there is a certain undercurrent that if rassoul wins, it must mean something was fraudulent. i want to push back a little and ask you the following. isn't it possible that because afghans doi's guy, not mind that. he is a candidate of continuity and will not rock the boat too much. d, some might prefer stability. because he does not have the negatives of the other two, either dostum or a strong tajik association of dr. abdullah. ir all these reasons, and have seen some polls lately that put him closer to the front runners then you mentioned. he may actually be a viable candidate, even though much of the narrative suggests he could not be. disagree with the question, but i want to put it to a point. what ise elections, equally important to the actual process is the perception of the public. people currently s

karzai is -- what where do i use ? all the synapses do not close and president karzai said. it's difficult to run the country when you are mercurial beyond understanding. but he may be there for another four years. the issue in afghanistan for us to withdraw is very simple. leave something behind. that happens to be the afghan soldiers. all they need more than anything else of this particular point is an infusion and a belief that they can win. thus the most important thing to give them more than anything else. these of the guys to do it. they spent a lot of time with the special forces units over there. special forces units are terrific guys. they give us the leverage of if you put them together like this unit was with the marines gave them of rifle platoon to work with. you have to in senior sergeants from the army ball over 30 and then you have 40 young gunslingers from the marine corps improbably in that young twenties. city and 50 americans and 500 afghans. city of a ratio of about one american for every ten afghan soldiers. they held their own territory the same as any

then we close our eyes on karzai stealing the election.dn't help us on the ground and gave the taliban a lot of ammunition on attacking us. >> ali, they claim credit for the latest round of attacks. what do you think the long game is here? >> to keep doing what they are doing but i'm not sure they'll be that effective, they haven't been that effective in the past year and there's a great website called the afghan analyst network and there was a story that went up there yesterday that the taliban despite what you hear from washington and a lot of other people, is a major security concern for the country but not about to take over kabul. that's probably not going to happen. there are lots of indications that the taliban can even cease and control places like they used to like helmand province. >> back sliding happening. >> right and they are weaker than previous years and this is something my colleague and friends, great afghanistan reporter pointed out as well. by the d.o.d. statistics, take it with a grain of salt, taliban is winning 5% of

may or may not be president karzai's intent. i'm not sure that reflects his capability. >> let me speak to this. i've been very critical about the amount of contracts we have. i understand we have 78,000 contractors in afghanistan and only 33,000 troops. >> senator, the number of contractors also support the nato forces of about 45,000 total forces. >> can you tell me that contracting with those forces would be reduced? relative to the other forces? >> we would be reduced in the process and reducing contractors. >> for the life of me -- i am understanding about 2000 and arrests over there at $2 million per piece, $20 million worth of emirates? >> are you referring to the ones we have declared excess? >> it is hard for me to go home and explain to them how we can build something that cost that much, take it over there and discard it like it wasn't of any value at all. it has to be valued somewhere. >> we have 2000 that the service has declared as excess. >> what will happen with those? >> we are in the process of seeing if there

so has karzai. at the end of the day, karzai is really the president of kabul and nut much else.we're doing in any case, the outlying provinces are going to be in trouble. it's going to be a mess. it's fractured country and it's going to be a mess. >> where do you come down on this? >> i'm a long standing military guy. either do it completely or you don't do it. it would require 200,000 troops over a long period of time to secure that area long enough for us to train the afgan army. we're not doing that. so better off out than in if we're not going to do it properly. >>> that is a wrap up of this hour of "weekends with alex witt." straight ahead, we've got "up with steve kornacki." so i'm living in a world of tiny sweaters and dolphins and weird greasy mystery stains. i'm gonna get you. but this new tide ultra stain release has a crazy amount of cleaning power and a pre-treat zap! cap that helps me get out pretty much any stain. can i help? aww. just kidding. she got me. [ female announcer ] now with new tide ultra stain release you can help remove 99% of everyday stains. [ femal

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 rustrated. 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 kind of a carryover from some of the frustrations that we have felt with resident karzai. we need to have the election go well. we also need to have a strong leader to begin to effectuate the change, which will be very challenging for anyone coming n. >> thanks, senator. i would like to thank you for your support and for highlighting the gains and achievements of the afghan people. i was born and raised in the country, and

one of the things i have been encouraged by is of presidential candidates that karzai is korn? if they've made troubling comments that we disagree with but he is gone. there will be a new election and that if nizolek did? >> how quickly i know you said the runoff in august how important we announce our follow-up commitment -- we have a high risk of the order the withdrawal because what it takes to get the equipment out to transfer facilities there are as many tasks doo-doo as the days to do that so that is why i characterize as higher risk but the real challenge post 2015 starts in in a couple with leadership of the afghan security forces. currently the uncertainty of the 2015 affects the behavior of regional actors. those nations are hedging what the facts of the ground will be the other issue how long this uncertainty with last is the willingness and ability to maintain competion -- cohesion and participate it is significant with a future mission it is important to do future mission as a coalition. >> i know my time is up but we know karzai is going with the newly elected pre

if you're karzai, i'm not making excuses for a very bipolar leader in karzai, nonetheless, karzai will be gone in less than 45 days. the election that's coming up next month is going to replace karzai. the next president is going to endorse what's called the bilateral security agreement, which has in it a status of forces agreement to protect americans from being prosecuted inside afghanistan for what they do to help the country. it's in almost every agreement that's ever been drafted for americans to be in another country, to include -- we still have them in italy. we still have them in japan. we still have them in the rest of the world where we've got u.s. forces. so, the talk this week about that withdrawal has started a panic within the afghan military and security forces, desertions are up. recruitment is down. >> the desertions from who? >> the after gan securighan sec because they are saying if the americans are leaving, we have no one to help us. we're getting better every single day and they have been. >> yes. >> they've made sure we don't send combat forces out there alone an

the owner without you can't deal any further with president karzai right-click >> i think that is fair to say. >> but we also know that the presidential candidates favor them and say that they would assign is that correct they also support. >> and you are capable and ready to make plans for the signing sometime after the presidential election you are capable of adjusting to that eventuality but it would be harder if there is a runoff. to maintain the option of period of time without any difficulty. >> it's disturbing to me to hear the president say the longer that he waits. i don't get that connection. why would the intransigence dictate the number of troops and missions that was part of the residual force? i can't talk to that. >> are we able to get out all of the equipment we are able to get out of afghanistan on schedule? >> i'm absolutely confident we will be able to do that. due to the great efforts we have reasonably ends in the system and i am not concerned about the loss for the distribution network. >> are you confident with the level that is left behind of 10,000 plus forces

>> i'm going to let president karzai speak to his comments. what i can tell you is it's clearly not helpful and while he is certainly entitled to his opinion is our opinion here in the united states and i believe i can speak for us as a nato partner that it's russia is absolutely in violation of international obligations violating the territorial integrity of ukraine and we continue to call for them to move their troops from crimea. >> admiral i found it interesting that there has been to satellite detections of debris in the south indian ocean and the u.s. has one of the largest collections of spy satellites around. we haven't reported anything. does that indicate a gap in our coverage, that we don't have satellite coverage in that part of the world? >> no, i don't know but i would take that assumption. i am leery of discussing some of our capabilities in that regard here from the podium as you might understand. but we have been, to the degree we have been able to, sharing satellite imagery with the government of malaysia to help them in the

. >> turning now to afghanistan, where today president hamid karzai said his country is prepared for a complete withdrawal of american and nato troops by the end of this year. in his final address to parliament, karzai said the afghan military is up to the task of protecting the nation. the u.s. has been pressing karzai to sign a security agreement that would leave a small number of american troops in afghanistan beyond this year. in neighboring pakistan, a doctor who helped the united states track down and kill osama bin laden had his prison sentence reduced from 33 to 23 years. the united states had called for his outright release, and a senate committee approved legislation reducing aid to pakistan by millions of dollars because of his conviction and sentencing. pakistani authorities accused the doctor of treating islamic militants. the doctor took dna samples as part of a vaccination program purportedly devised by the cia to confirm bin laden was in the area, where he was later killed by u.s. commandos. >>> iranian authorities have reported several cases of what they call industr

the decision of president karzai to indicate that it is unlikely. the deal signed in the essay that his government negotiated this is obviously his decision but it's not because we haven't made clear it off the side the stead of criticism off a bomb on the ac has been detached on the issue. yes the white tiles publicized accord between obama and his id was june. but the white house push back against these issues that obama has to be forcefully enough on the show many of the divine insight and attack on the checkpoint in eastern afghanistan. king twenty one still exists and that deadliest single incident for the applied on the unit needs to get that taken out. few details to a few months allegiance to god to guide one attack on the outpost was heading the cost of logistical financial means i'm on a street in bludgeoning focused on taxes don't be a strong for the dotted line. i have an intense six soldiers were missing after a minute and small sticky is so unfair to a twenty two and on the security forces. on defense minister explain the more homely a

president karzai has refused to sign it i lateral security agreement that he negotiated and receivedhe strong support of the jurga that he convened. president obama has decided to look beyond president karzai to the next afghan president following elections in early april. each of the afghan presidential candidates has indicated a willingness to sign the bilateral security agreement and any of them would likely be a more reliable partner and president karzai. much continues to be at stake for our national security, for the security of our friends and allies around the world, for regional stability and, of course, for the afghan people. a recent letter by afghan parliamentarian highlighted the extraordinary changes of the past decade, particularly for afghan women like herself. she points out that 12 years ago, afghan women's participation in public life was prohibited and the prohibition was enforced through harassment and abuse. k ms.ufi was nearly abandoned at earth simply because in the afghanistan of that time, the female child had no future. in the post tell about afghanistan, s

president bush talked to karzai frequently. was in a secure video conference with him almost every couple of weeks. was talking to him constantly on the telephone. that's how you make a relationship, one that is positive by managing the relationship. i have to admit when you heard news reports that president obama went a year without talking to karzai, i was taken aback because this is an individual in a country that if you don't pay attention to it can go in problematic ways. particularly if they think you are leaving them. find a way to come accommodate themselves in the region. i took karzai's parting shot at obama by saying i approve of the annexation of crimea. we are going to recognize that as his attempt to sort of engratiot himself with the russians afraid that obama is going to leave the afghanistan people to their own devices. this the president has done this around the world. i cannot think a serious, a significant world leader with whom the president has a serious personal relationship that gives them confidence. lo

[applause] so in afghanistan, they make a deal and karzai said, i'm not signing that deal. the stupid americans. they give me bundles of cash. who is the soldier -- think of this. maybe i have a couple hundred bucks in my pocket. soldier that carries satchels of $50 million to take care of these people? have you heard this? who is this soldier. i guarantee you unless he's a really honest, he's really rich, ok? [laughter] we give all of this money and it was just revealed the other day that are friends again from area were for -- we fighting the war here and on the other side of the mountain, a lot of people don't realize this but afghanistan, they did not think it had wealth. it has tremendous wealth and minerals. and fighting,ng getting blown up, all sorts of crap happening and on the other side of the mountain, you have china taking out all of their minerals. this was reported the other day but i said it two years ago. by the way, i don't dislike china. businessweek did an article the chineseings most want, different elements. they had 10 of them. the top 10 things. frien

that should be a warning sign that harmid karzai is going to pivot who whoever is going to keep him iner. >> the u.s. could certainly help him with a residual force staying behind. look at what happened in iraq. if we had put soldiers in residual force maliki would not have lost the territory that he has. summing up, this looks to me like a geopolitical disaster worldwide. and putin lit the fuse. >> absolutely. the problem is if a president loses political credibility. it gets restored when we elect a new president. on the world stage you can't get the credibility back easily. it takes decades to pick up the pieces. you got three years though doc. a lot of damage can be done in three years if everybody takes on the u.s.a. and it looks like that's going to happen. directly ahead cammeron and rosen on how president obama and congress may strike back against putin. later, putin on the airliner. pot vs. tobacco and update on that ferocious cat in oregon. those reports up ahead.

as afghanistan prepares for presidential elections in april to replace outgoing president hamid karzai, the taliban has vowed to disrupt the elections by any means necessary. these attacks in the capitol city raises important questions about afghanistan's ability to ensure its own security. joining us from washington, d.c, is michael o'hanlon, director of research for the foreign policy program at the brookings institution, his most recent book is healing the wounded giant, maintaining military preeminence while cutting the defense budget. michael, good to have you with us. and kabul has been on attack, 21 people were killed a few weeks ago, now nine at a very well protected hotel. what did you see while you were there? how strong is the taliban? >> it's a great question. i was in kabul until about two hours before that attack and it was a very peaceful week. what you are struck by in kabul, if you are a person who's traveled in much of the developing world is kabul seems like a relatively poor city but a busy overcrowded teeming lively city. it is not barricaded the way that baghdad w

karzai has refused to sign a security pact with washington that would keep some u.s. troops in his country beyond 2014. >>> all right, north korea now flexing its muscle again, firing two short-range missiles into the sea after similar rocket launches last week. this is part of a now yearly dance with south korea that carries out joint military exercises with the u.s. those annual drills began last week and were immediately condemned by the north as preparations for war. the missiles have been identified as scuds with the capability of reaching japan. >>> the crisis in ukraine spreading into worldwide markets this morning. u.s. stocks in the very early going indicate sharply lower open this morning. dow futures down 100 points. big declines in stocks in europe and asia. oil and natural gas prices soaring. here's the reason -- ukraine doesn't hold much power, but it's geographically very important to europe. look at this map. russia supplies about 25% of europe's gas, and half of that gas needs to travel through pipelines running through, yes, ukraine. also, ukraine is

karzai is -- what where do i use ? all the synapses do not close and president karzai said. it's difficult to run the country when you are mercurial beyond understanding. but he may be there for another four years. the issue in afghanistan for us to withdraw is very simple. leave something behind. that happens to be the afghan soldiers. all they need more than anything else of this particular point is an infusion and a belief that they can win. thus the most important thing to give them more than anything else. these of the guys to do it. they spent a lot of time with the special forces units over there. special forces units are terrific guys. they give us the leverage of if you put them together like this unit was with the marines gave them of rifle platoon to work with. you have to in senior sergeants from the army ball over 30 and then you have 40 young gunslingers from the marine corps improbably in that young twenties. city and 50 americans and 500 afghans. city of a ratio of about one american for every ten afghan soldiers. they held their own territory the same as any

we met in senator mcconnell -- senator mcconnell's office with resident karzai. now, i had been very critical of him the last few years. it i'm sure i joined a chorus in congress. i said to him at the time -- i'm i urged himasing -- very strongly to support the transition, to make sure it is peaceful. and his reaction was positive at this time. he told me he was proud to have served as the first democratically-elected president of afghanistan and would hand off to the second, democratically-elected president. president karzai has at times been duplicitous, transactional, and insulting, but i do believe he understands the future of afghanistan depends on the transition i just mentioned. we often focus too much on what is going to happen after him, so his legacy aside, the transition itself is a critical milestone for the people of afghanistan. recalling that, reminding myself of that, last year, i authored a senate resolution that outlined steps that both the afghan and u.s. governments can take to support transparent and credible elections. the resolution passed

i took karzai's parting shot at obama by saying i approve of the annexation of crimea. we are going to recognize that as his attempt to sort of engratiot himself with the russians afraid that obama is going to leave the afghanistan people to their own devices. this the president has done this around the world. i cannot think a serious, a significant world leader with whom the president has a serious personal relationship that gives them confidence. look at how he has boggled libya. look how he was boggled syria. can you imagine the israelis looking at what he has done in iran wisely stepping up the sanctions and reducing them in return for what? nothing from the iranians. so, you know, and then russia, where at where we are today because the russians got the message. obama was the supplement. obama weak. what can we do to placate them. when you show weakness to vladimir putin, he takes advantage of it. >> jonathan karl of abc earlier today in the hague where the president is at a summit asked a very pointed question of the president. he said in china, in syria, and in e

that may or may not be president karzai's intend. i'm not sure that reflects his capability. >> let me speak to this. i've been very critical about the amount of contracts we have. contractorss 78,000 in afghanistan and only 33,000 troops. >> senator, the number of contractors also support the nato forces of about 45,000 total forces. thatn you tell me contradict those forces would be reduced? relative to the other forces? >> we would be reduced in the process and reducing contractors. me -- i amlife of understanding about 2000 and arrests over there at $2 million per piece deco $20 million worth of emirates? >> are you referring to the ones we have declared excess? >> it is hard for me to go home and explain to them how we can build something that cost that much to get over there and disregarded but it wasn't of any value at all. it has to be valued somewhere. curvinge not this dashed escorting 2000 and rest. we have 2000 at the service is declared as excess. >> what will happen with those? >> we are in the process of seeing if ther

"show me one person who has been beaten up", says a pro-russian man. the people are brimming with confidence, convinced that a week from now they'll sweep the ballot. >> i know many people want normal economic stability which the russian separation can provide. >> this is a referendum declared null and void before a vote has been cast. >> there's no doubt a vote will take place, regardless of the view in brussels or washington d.c. the chairm
