i support the president's decisions, as do generals mattis and petraeus. we offered our views freely and without hesitation and they were heard. the commander in chief presided over an inclusive and comprehensive discussion about what to do next. i am grateful for that. i can tell you that, foremost on everyone's mind throughout the discussion, was preserving the success of our troops and civilian counterparts have achieved thus far. back when the strategy was establish in december, 2009, we believe it would be about now, this summer, before we could determine whether or not we had it right, whether the resources were enough and the counterinsurgency focus was a bridge. now we know we did have it right. this strategy is working. al qaeda is on their heels. the taliban in the south has been checked. we have made extraordinary progress against the mission we have been assigned. we are in the position to begin a response will transition out of afghanistan -- responsible transition out of afghanistan. but we will withdraw 10,000 troops by the end of this year

. >> christy mattis. mr.ecretary, we have opportunities at the federal level right now but many states are also in crisis. you know, how do you see the likelihood of a state default and what do you see the federal governments' role in that? >> it's very important for you to remind people that states are still under a lot of pressure. in many ways those pressures are diminishing because revenues are starting to come back as growth recovers. and i think that means their pressures will be more manageable than they were over the last three years or so. but still, a lot of pressure on them. it will take a long time for them to work through that. important to remind people about this, though, because if you look what's happening to the american economy as we dig out of this mess, as you see in the last six months, there's important transition happening, you know, in the early stage of the crisis, as the broader private sector was pulling back in a state of broad panic and concern about the global economy, the gover
