kirby: i'm afraid i'm not. and even even, even if i was really, this is a better question for the department of defense. >> is it true that china refused to open their channel of communications with the pentagon over the taiwan issue in the last several days? >> i can't confirm that reporting. i don't know. >> on the documents have you , been contacting any of the governments mentioned in the documents to smooth things over? mr. kirby: as i've said, u.s. officials have over the last couple of days. certainly throughout the weekend, communicated with relevant nations relevant allies , and partners as appropriate at very high levels to communicate with them about this. >> will president biden bring this up when he speaks to the british prime minister later this week? mr. kirby: i don't get ahead of specific items on the agenda and by that, but we'll certainly be able to communicate with you after the fact. >> is the president concerned about recent threats of violence in belfast? and then more broadly, can you ju

kirby: -- sec. jean-pierre: right now we just don't have anything on the books for a press conference at this moment. the president always loves to take your questions, shouted questions. look, when it comes to these types of events as you know, , being the president at one point of the association, there are relationships that we have with these countries. so when it comes to two plus two or anything like that, clearly, that is not just on us, that is also on the country that we're visiting. but as far as a stand alone press conference, i just don't have anything to share at this time. >> beyond seeking a stay, how do you plan to respond to the abortion pill? sec. jean-pierre: look, i don't want to get ahead of the courts here. as you know, that's something that is something we are mindful of. the department of justice were quick to act as you know, as you mentioned, the state and we're , going to continue to move forward in that fashion. it probably is going to go up to the supreme court, which we

admiral kirby: we're still getting people out. they're still coming out on a routine, regular basis. i can't speak for this particular case. last process that the state department runs that i would highly encourage anybody who feels they have a case to be made to leave afghanistan. i don't know anything about that case but when it comes to afghanistan, i think that's what you're asking about, we continue to get people out. reporter: next week will be international conference on venezuela to promote talks between political forces. can you tell us if the u.s. will be sending a delegation, what type of delegation? admiral kirby: we fully support this international process, as you know. we welcome the fact that colombia is hosting it this time around. i don't have a delegation to announce today. reporter: followup on the question about sanctions on venezuela. are there any concrete conditions or steps that would warrant -- what are you expecting? what have you communicated to lead to sanctions? admiral kirby: without getting into a sp

house foreign committee chair called kirby's comment disgraceful and insulting. rain jackson texas called kirby's comments sickening referring to him as the quote, new baghdad bob. announcing a second afghanistan hearing. and i should add this as well, finally trace on true social, former president trump slammed the report calling his successor a, quote, moron. trace. >> we knew the former president would weigh in. kevin cork live for us in d.c. let's bring in a member of the house foreign affairs committee & an army combat vet loon conducted the first rescue mission of american a the u.s. with draw, congressman cory mills of florida. i want to play little extended version of that chaos bite with john kirby and then i'll get your reaction on the other side. watch. >> i just didn't see it. not from my perch. at one point during the evacuation there was an aircraft taking off full of people, americans and afghans alike, every 48 minutes. not one single mission was missed. i'm sorry, i just don't buy the whole argument of chaos. it was tough in the first few hours,

bill: and now china scoring another political win, president biden heads to ireland, expecting john kirby to join the white house press briefing to preview the president's trip to shore up some relations overseas as america's standing in the world continues to come under attack. >> sandra: morgan ortagus will react to the france snub and how president biden should react to it. but breaking news of the hour. as we learn more details out of louisville, after a shooting at a downtown bank left at least four dead and eight injured, two of the wounded being police officers. >> bill: so far police have said they believe the gunman did have a connection to the old national bank branch, including being a former or current employee. nate foy has the breaking details from our new york city newsroom. nate, what are we learning about how this incident all went down in the first place? >> bill, as of the last update, we were told that four people were killed, not including the shooter, and eight were injured as sandra just outlined. but the university of louisville hospital is saying it received a tot

kirby: he is very proud about how this withdrawal was conducted. i have been around operations my entire life. there is not a single one that ever goes perfectly according to plan. things happen. sometimes, enemies get a vote. one of the things that we learned is that balance of striking, when do you pull out, and do so in a way that does not undermine the government you are trying to support, that is a tough balance to strike. it is different in every civil case. we learn from afghanistan and we apply that in ukraine and ethiopia. being willing to move a little sooner. i think everything he has laid out this document about the main take away and lessons we learned , and the president is a normal sleep proud of the men and women who conducted this withdrawal. >> you noted that the ease with which the taliban took control of the government, nothing would have changed the trajectory. what is your message to veterans and the families of the fallen who may read that and wonder what was the point? adm. kirby: the president said many times that the missi

kirby: i want to start with the withdraw from afghanistan. as you know over these many months, departments and agencies key to the withdrawal conducted thorough internal after action reviews. each of them examining their decision-making processes, as well as how those decisions were executed. today, they're making those reviews available to relevant committees in the senate and the house, as previewed by secretary blinken and secretary alston in testimony last month. those reviews fed into a process looking across the of ministration. today, we are also making available to all of you into the public a document that provides our perspectives on the withdrawal and outlines in broad strokes some of what we learned, as well as how we are already implementing some of those lessons. that document will be posted to the white house website at the conclusion of my briefing. i would like to take some time, if you will allow me, to provide you an overview. first and most critically, the president's decision to end the war in afghanistan was the right on

that was john kirby, our correspondent _ former.s john kirby, our correspondent in - former. that was john kirby, - our correspondent in washington jessica parker has more. so, this is a 12—page summary, declassified a report looking back at what happened during that chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan. so many people will remember those scenes from kabul airport in the august of 2021 during that withdrawal. but broadly, this 12—page report and remarks earlier from john kirby, the white house's national security spokesman, it's a defense of what happened, saying it was the right thing to do. and what's also quite striking is that they lay some of the blame of how things unfolded on the previous administration, donald trump, including what they say was a lack of preparation and planning by the trump administration as well, that a visa scheme hadn't been invested in properly and low troop numbers on the ground in afghanistan. so an attempt there to blame the previous administration for that. there is some admission of intelligence fai

i'm quoting old kirby to you. yes, yes, yes, but er, it's quite in this rhetoric.economic political uh, every state must uh, inside its own block to somehow survive uh, there is also a part of the undivided world and the usa and europe are trying to win over just parts of these states with different methods to their side in order to uh, then the number of uh, states uh, has decreased rapidly, which is ready to work. e with russia, after all, this is the intention we understood, it seems to me that it is also absolutely not random which began after no. which means we understand, well done, felik, thank you. you know, you're an eagle indeed, captive-bred, as we now found out thanks. these plums and and so on, there is no eagle, if hawks and doves are a bird on the political map, in general, somehow they are absolutely not present. and here you are when you are surprised that the americans that's all they say, why they say, because they can be kings of the hill and while they are from this post, no one checks, even no one protested yet, and to this, uh, the situation

john kirby, thank you for cominu now. john kirby, thank you for coming on _ now.on bbc news. - now we turn to afghanistan. since the taliban took over 1.5 years ago, there international community has tried to find ways to help afghan people without directly supporting the taliban. here in the us, the special inspector general for afghanistan reconstruction, also known as sigar, told a us house committee that: it's complicated for aid agencies too. and earlier this week, the united nations deputy secretary general talked about a possible un recognition of the taliban during an interview — take a listen. 0ut out of that, we hope we will find those baby steps to put us back on the pathway to recognition. is it possible? i don't know. recognition. is it possible? i don't know-— recognition. is it possible? i don't know. recognition of... the taliban. _ don't know. recognition of... the taliban. in _ don't know. recognition of... the taliban. in other - don't know. recognition of... the taliban. in other words, | the taliban. in other words, there are conditions. i spo

official line from kirby no chaos, they are proud.nd to the extent anything went wrong it's the fault of president trump. that, of course, drew some interesting questions from peter doocy. >> ainsley: that's right. listen. >> peter: who is going to get fired over this. >> the purpose of the document that we're putting out today is to sort of collate the chief reviews and findings of the agencies that did after action reviews. the purpose of it is not accountability. >> peter: there were children being killed. there were people hanging off of air force jets that were leaving and you are saying that you guys are proud of the way this mission was conducted? proud of that? >> proud of the fact that we got more than 124,000 people safely out of afghanistan? you bet. proud of the fact that american troops were able to seize control of a defunct airport and get it operational in 48 hours. you bet. does that mean that everything went perfect in that evacuation? of course not. but there was a lot that went right and a lot of afghans are now li

and as admiral kirby i shameful. and as admiral kirby knows, — shameful.s, there is one where you canj bind the hands of your success and that is— bind the hands of your success and that is to _ bind the hands of your success and that is to pass— bind the hands of your success and that is to pass whatever _ bind the hands of your success and that is to pass whatever your- that is to pass whatever your agreement— that is to pass whatever your agreement is— that is to pass whatever your agreement is through - that is to pass whatever your agreement is through the . that is to pass whatever your- agreement is through the senate as a treaty— agreement is through the senate as a treaty or— agreement is through the senate as a treaty or through _ agreement is through the senate as a treaty or through both _ agreement is through the senate as a treaty or through both houses - agreement is through the senate as a treaty or through both houses of- treaty or through both houses of congress — treaty or through both houses of congress has _ treaty or through both hous

we don't know if we still care as kirby also added, the incident did not affect us support for ukraineever, cnn reports kiev is changing military plans. this, according to the publication, may mean that the declared counter-offensive was only part of the information war, and the alleged leak of documents can be an excuse for the kiev regime if the offensive does not take place, and the washington post newspaper, having studied the documents. dogona expressed doubt that the counter-offensive of ukraine will bring her significant results mig-29 ukraine however, sofia denied these reports, specifying that they were negotiating the implementation of a triangular deal in order to receive more modern combat aircraft from western partners in return for gigs. also , israeli prime minister netanyahu said his government did not make a decision regarding the supply of lethal weapons to ukraine. what was also said about the parts that got into the internet donts, nevertheless , the flows of weapons. they don't run out in ukraine. so the ministry of defense of denmark intends to transfer self-prope

it's outrageous what kirby said. this report is based on things that are not true. >> one of the outrageous things that he said that people are pushing back on is this. i'll get your opinion on the other side. >> and so for all of this talk of chaos, i didn't see it. not from my perch. at one point there was an aircraft talking off full of people, americans in afghans alike every 48 minutes. now one single mission was missed. i'm sorry. i won't buy the argument of chaos. it was tough in the first few hours. you expect it to be. there was nobody at the airport. no americans. it took time to get in there. >> the aircraft had people falling off of them, secretary pompeo. this thing was a disaster. there are still afghan heros that helped us out in that war for years and year stuck in that country and cannot get out. this is was as admiral kirby said and unmitigated disaster. he said we had some good things. this was a disaster. that's the consensus. >> trace, the american people and every veteran that served there shoul

um kirby was on defense today. you saw he would not say what mistakes the president believes he made during the withdrawal. a lot of blame for the trump administration and ashraf ghani . um, what do you make of the us withdrawal? obviously, hindsight is 2020, but we were on this show having experts like you. i don't i don't think you and participate in case but people come on and say, if we're if we're leaving, then we need to start getting afghan allies and others out as soon as possible and getting key weapons out as soon as possible. a lot of stuff that didn't happen. yeah, well, obviously i haven't read the report, jake. but you know when you are the commander in chief you're responsible. you're accountable. and you can't blame the guy that came before you so again, as i understand that this report is really a lessons learned, which is different in terms of reports and an accountability report. but may knows make no mistake about it. you know, somebody should be held accountable for this evacuation. now i will

by the way -- john kirby just doesn't know what all the fuss is about today. he actually said that he didn't see, get this, any chaos at all during this withdrawal. let me remind him, take a look. >> and so for all this talk of chaos, i just didn't see it. not from my perch. there was an aircraft taking off full of people, americans and afghans alike every 48 minutes, not single mission is missed. i won't buy the argument of chaos. you would expect it to be, there was nobody at the airport. >> sean: nobody at the airport. oh, that looks like people at the airport to me. are you serious? the airport was surrounded by afghans and american citizens dying to get out, believing in the promise of their president that no american would be left behind. and you had isis linked terrorists all while the taliban fighters were running security at the checkpoints. and it took days for desperate americans and foreign nationals to even get inside the airport if they were lucky, and they were then on their own with many literally paying for private security to keep them alive

you can see to the left john kirby, the spokesperson for the national security council, he is expectedasing the after action report on the withdrawal from afghanistan. i want to go to nbc's mike memoli who joins us from the white house and who along with several of his colleagues broke this story just a short time ago. tell us what we're expecting here >> reporter: well, chris, according to multiple administration officials, what we're seeing now from the white house today is the formalization of what's called the after action report. this is the internal review considered administration wide for what the mistakes, lessons learned, and a real detailed accounting of the decisions leading up to and following the president's decision to order the withdrawal of the remaining u.s. forces from afghanistan this is a report that had been long expected and i should add, long delayed it's one that now the pentagon is sending to capitol hill in a classified form. they're also releasing ten pages, which will be unclassified detailing what these lessons are. we will have more information about thos

john kirby, the pentagon spokesperson at the time of the august 2021. withdrawal summarized a voluntary multi-agency review of it. he said as commander in chief, president biden stands by his decision to pull out u.s. forces. he continues to believe that the order to withdraw from afghanistan was the right one per be blamed. a lot of the missteps on the trump administration which he said weekend us resources in the country and wouldn't share information about its own plans for the withdrawal transitions matter. he came in with a certain set of circumstances. he had no ability to change. but kirby said president biden was able to negotiate with the taliban for more time. they were going coming down the blaze on may. 1st he got us to the end of august. the biden administration now concludes only an expanded and permanent military presence would have prevented the taliban takeover, which the president was not willing to do. kirby said that decision freed up resources that have allowed the u.s. to be a leader in current conflicts were capable to support ukr

it was -- it's an amazing comment from john kirby and i hope he knows better.wall street editorial border. >> mr. biden's report for the decision-making process in afghanistan, makes it all the worst because it underscores the problem was the final decision, that is joe biden's awful judgment. you know, robert gates said that joe biden has been wrong in every foreign policy decision he's ever made. this would seem to fall into that category. >> and one point, people forget, only one national security council meeting on the 14th of august that talk the about evacuation. that was a deputy's meeting, one. they didn't even talk about it, and they surely disregarded all the information that came from the military and the c.i.a. >> john: i want to ask you about evan, he is charged with espionage, in a hell-hole of a prison, he has an appeal hearing on the 18th of april. what are the chances of getting him out and what's going on behind the scenes as far as you know might be going on? >> nothing going on right now that we are tracking. he's just going to be another pa

john kirby, coordinations _ on both sides. john kirby, i coordinations communicator on both sides. on bbc news. there's a lot of big global events happening next week — let's take a look at two key events. south korea's president yoon suk yeol is set to visit the us for a summit with presidentjoe biden. it's the first state trip by a south korean leader since 2011 and marks the 70th anniversary of the countries' alliance. north korea's growing nuclear capabilities will be top of the agenda. and russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov will head to new york to discuss the ukraine black sea grain export deal with un secretary—general. there are questions around whether that deal will continue. live now to ishaan tharoor from the washington post. thank you for taking the time in joining us. thank you for taking the time injoining us. ishaan — south korea's president heads to the us, in light of recent leaks, how do we expect that visit to unfold ? the good to be with you. those leaks have been deeply embarrassing for the president. they created a bit of a domestic incident in seoul and

racist kirby russian budget was not given budgets were not given. so yes, like political correctness. well, when this comes out, when he cannot keep this hatred and contempt for everything for the majority of humanity. yes, here it is. the superiority that rushes out of him and he cannot keep quiet emotionally. i think why, what is it, and this means that there is no instrument , and they understand, well, some of them are not completely, of course, but they understand that everything is very bad, everything is very bad, in principle, scenarios of some positive plans would. this is how an american will go for some kind of operation if he doesn’t have a plan b. he won’t be able to go for an operation, and now it turns out that now he would simply not exist. it paralyzes everyone. well, as it were, from biden to and below, and in fact you understand it, well, what is it called? here is an empirical observation, you look at what happens to them, well, it becomes quite clear. yes, that is a very large mixture of emotions that are experienced by this per

i was in the white house press briefing where john kirby answered a lot of our questions. that it was undeniable that the actions in planning by the trump administration limited the president's options. they specifically cited the fact the negotiations between the trump administration and the afghan government to release fighters from prison, reduce troop levels to 2500 service members on the ground. they said during the transition, the trump administration gave them no plans they potentially had about a final withdrawal, so kirby was pressed on this over and over, and he ultimately said about the accountability the current administration should take itself, and he said this document, this review is not about accountability. it is about understanding what happened and to move forward with lessons learned. geoff: in terms of understanding what happened, what about the evacuation itself? what were those lessons learned? correspondent: john kirby admitted the administration did not do everything right, specifically that this experien and afghanistan directly impacted how they

i can't believe john kirby said something like this. we have 85 billion dollars in military equipment and weapon systems behind. we released thousands of isis fighters from the prison in bagram. this is unbelievable. they had 8 months to prepare this. 8 months the biden administration had to get their ducks in a row. they were worried about their woke social agenda and the green new deal, and this is the result. liz: this is the worst presidency since truman, the polls show. president biden went on abc right after afghanistan collapsed in august of 2 2021 * saying he still have have withdrawn even without montreal's plan. >> would you be withdrawing troops like this even if president trump hadn't made that deal with the tall sphwhan. >> i would have figured out a way to withdraw the drooms. the -- the troops. >> is the taliban takeover of afghanistan now inevitable? >> no. >> the crowd size is smaller than it was in the first few days. we are not experiencing to the degree we did last monday the physical crush and chaos. >> there is joh

heard, this is a mountain and kirby we will continue.ell done. well clean up, well done clean up, well done heard this point of view white house we will continue. this follows directly from this, without any here, well, without parrots. but yeah, she didn't repeat it, but she said that kirby did what he said, he did the right thing, because we were outraged by the brazilian tone. well, you see, i see this as racist. that's what i see in it, i absolutely do too. well, racism, maybe so veiled, in fact, it’s all the same, uh, a colleague recalled. try macron. here is a macron called a paddling pool and compared, which means brazil and a parrot. it's like that, it's about the same the same, because there are some cartoons, if he is a parrot in brazil there and so on. these are stereotypes, these are the stereotypes that he , uh, means, that he will focus on, as far as latin america is concerned . yes, not karaga, i would pay attention to mexico. there, of course, there are lopysaradors. it's just what he says and what he already does. it is

john kirby, the pentagon spokesperson at the time of the august 2021. withdrawal summarized a voluntary multi-agency review of it. he said as commander in chief, president biden stands by his decision to pull out u.s. forces. he continues to believe that the order to withdraw from afghanistan was the right one per be blamed. a lot of the missteps on the trump administration which he said weekend us resources in the country and wouldn't share information about its own plans for the withdrawal transitions matter. he came in with a certain set of circumstances. he had no ability to change. but kirby said president biden was able to negotiate with the taliban for more time. they were going coming down the blaze on may. first, he got us to the end of august. the biden administration now concludes only an expanded and permanent military presence would have prevented the taliban takeover, which the president was not willing to do. kirby said that decision freed up resources that have allowed the u.s. to be a leader in current conflicts were capable to support

anyone who served knows what john kirby did. he flat out lied to the american public and they put out embarrassing 12-page document. that's not working. >> ainsley: i agree with you when you watch images of people jumping in the w450e8 wells of planes and literally scrape their body out when the plane lands in kabul. that's chaos. we saw images of people trying for their own lives to get on planes. >> brian: ukraine in the far east and china on the march because of all of that. >> steve: i was actually in the briefing room for that briefing. it was according to our court, peter doocy in the front row longest briefing they have ever had in the biden white house. nonetheless, john kirby went out there and he told the story for the administration and for the most part. the president of the united states is unavailable except to al roker and that was the answer that al roker was able to get out of the president. he is planning on running. >> ainsley: and the press briefing the most recent one they are asking k.j.p. are you all going

kirby, who hasn't played since the end ofjanuary.y, who hasn't played since the end of january. she's also a kirby, who hasn't played since the end ofjanuary. she's also a massive doubt for hopes. millie bright as well, who is liam williamson's usual centre back, so there's some serious doubts. forwilliamson centre back, so there's some serious doubts. for williamson herself, she's recently put out a statement within the last hour saying that for her, all the focus on the outside is about the loss to england in the world cup and williamson's arsenal season, but for her personally, the most training force is the day today and how she'll get over the recovery, the treatment and the long process of getting over this acl injury. b, process of getting over this acl in'u . �* . , ., ., , process of getting over this acl in'u .�* ., , ., ., ., injury. a really long “ourney ahead. what injury. a really long 'ourney ahead. whamm— injury. a really long “ourney ahead. what about her— injury. a really long journey ahead. what about her club? _ i

and so kirby was pressed on this over and over.e ultimately said about the accountability that the administration, the current administration, should take itself. and he said that this document, this review isn't about accountability, that it's about understanding what happened and to then move forward with ssons learned. geoff: well, in terms of understanding what happened, i mean, what about the evacuation itself? what were those lessons learned? laura: john kirby admitted that, clearly, the administration did not do everything right, specifically, that this experience in afghanistan that it directly impacted how they handled evacuations in ukraine and ethiopia when those capitals were threatened. so they said that they learned their lesson there by trying to speed up and start evacuations earlier. but nowhere in this report does it say that officials, intel officials made major mistakes in their handling. and so kirby was pressed on this, challenged about the evacuation, challenged about the lives that were lost during this evac

ah, but at kirby shan't. i defended the actions of israeli forces and comedy made israeli media saying they had to act in order to put down attempts at rioting. he added that the incident is being investigated well than it doesn't palestinians, and police officers were injured or so. so to has more this now from occupied east jerusalem of given market. for now we have seen just sal yesterday then is rally tough officials speaking to his rel immediate said that the images that were sent out from last week had created a terrible impact. so many people here have regarded that as a criticism toward what israeli occupation forces have done in alex on compounds last week. but it is at this moment, it's still not clear whether he is criticizing the action of dorky patient forces or whether he's a, could he, that he's worried about the image that has been sent out. so it's difficult to say that these rallies are still restrained to the but as of today, we have seen that there are been more than that 20 jewish groups

and we want to trust john kirby or lloyd austin or anyone. john kirby would have known at that point mid-february the clips are being played, what we now know because of this report, that it was not just loosely traveling across the united states for a week. according to the report they were doing figure eight rotations over our most sensitive nuclear sites if not gathering digital intelligence and photographs they get signals intelligence trying to get a sense of what electronic signals are being sent. radar and others above the sensitive nuclear sites and sending it back to communist chinese. by the time john kirby is saying this is benign they would have known it was the flight path and the graphic you are showing now makes it look like -- it is a tv graphic. the pentagon has the real graphic that shows how close it got, where it stayed and because of the aircraft it would have had next to it would have known more or less what its capabilities were. it wasn't moving quickly. they are just cowards and probably liars. in this instant cowards

in, the president flew out, and john kirby defended this.e's been our program quite a bit. we've known him for quite a years. he put a lot of enthusiasm into his defense here. watch. >> for all this talk of chaos, i didn't see it. not from my perch. at one point during the evacuation there was an aircraft taking off, full of people, americans and afghans alike, every 48 minutes. not one single mission was missed. so i'm sorry, i don't buy the argument of chaos. it was tough in the first few hours. you would expect it to be. there was nobody at the airport, certainly no americans. took time to get in there. >> there was chaos, and we weren't only the ones who thought so. watch this. >> that the crowd size is smaller now than it was in the first feysot experiencing to the degree we did, you know, last monday, the physical crush and chaos. >> you know, there was chaos. i don't understand the communication strategy here. a little humility could go a long way. of course the men and women in uniform did a great job, but they were given a terrible

house foreign affairs committee chairman michael mccaul said in a statement thatjohn kirby's commentsthe massive failures in planning and execution. former president donald trump blasted the report on social media, saying, "i watched this disaster unfold just like everyone else. i saw them take out the military first, give $85 billion of military equipment, allow killing of our soldiers, and leave americans behind. biden is responsible, no one else! biden is responsible, no one else." victoria coates served in the trump administration on the us national security council. she was asked about the report, here's what she told the bbc. as admiral kirby well knows, there is one way you can bind there is one way you can bind the hands of your successes once you are out of the white house and that is to pass whatever your agreement is through the senate as a treaty or through both houses of congress as a law. we didn't do that because the agreement with the teller band was conditional. they had to meet certain conditions before any withdrawal was going to take place. 50 withdrawal was going

in a sense says, well, the same thing that maria zakharov says kirby in general, says, not well, the bad, but not very clear. where all this can move is another matter, that maria zakharova and john kirby have different reasons for saying this, because we are talking about the fact that they are not ukrainians capable of negotiating, and in no case are these ukrainians and treaties capable, and kirby says, so, well , i don't know where this is going, because kirby has his own story, a statement of his and representatives of the administration in which he works, but about the fact that there is no ceasefire at all. perhaps, and you understand the words about the dialogue about the world about everything, now this is impossible without at least talking about a ceasefire and he said so, not only kirby spoke like that on the breaks. blinkin. that is why now i agree with you here. why now for americans? this, of course, is such a very similar story. yeah, well, like, here's a blinken idea for you, the idea of ​​a ceasefire may seem tempting, but it won't be fair to the nasty world for a s

kirby, he came in late during the briefing we gave the secretary of defense, maybe he missed images andeo we gave. anybody watching the news saw the increase of taliban encirclement of capitals and district centers in afghanistan and tightening the noose around kabul. it didn't take a student of military history to know what they were getting ready to institute. if it was, we are going to withdraw, the president made reflection upon iraq saying it would take a year to get personnel and equipment out and take seven months if we left it. >> brian: that was colonel douglas, he is outraged about what we witnessed in the report released yesterday. and there is cutter qatar, they were landing and no one knew who these people were, they could have been incornation of mother teresa, or terrorists and nobody knew. the planes were leaving early. the state department says friends of america were in the process, maybe that is true. you took over eight months and pushed deadline from april to september, but you were hesitant to do it to december and wait and scared what the taliban can do knowing yo
