and thank you for being here general nicholson. and i would ask the indulgence of the committee to allow our distinguished colleague from illinois, senator kirk, to make a few words of introduction before we begin the committee proceedings. senator kirk. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i am here to give general nicholson my highest recommendation. general nicholson has had three and a half years active duty service on the ground more than any other general officer in the u.s. military. i have served him several times as a reservist in afghanistan. there's no officer who has as much experience in the u.s. military that he does. and i would note that with him you get a multigenerational input from his father and grandfather and great-great uncle, also given a monument in northern pakistan who led the british forces in the sea port mutiny. when he was asked by afghan leaders are you related to him, he said yes, i am, that was very impressive to them. to be given that much experience of force in afghanistan is unique in this individual. >>

and of course, your father, general nicholson, as well. i'd like to begin by thanking you, general for your many years of distinguished service and your leadership in afghanistan at a critical time. you've presided over important progress including the capacity of the afghan military and developed a strong and productive relationship with the afghan unity government. when you saw the progresses and danger, insisted that further troop withdrawal should be based on conditions on the ground. while president obama decided to keep 9,800 u.s. troops in afghanistan beyond 2016, conditions on the ground in afghanistan today clearly demand an immediate re-evaluation of scheduled american troop withdrawals and this administration's continued withdrawal rather than a conditions-based withdrawal which some of us have been urging for many years. in 2001, american forces went to afghanistan because that was where, under the sanctuary of the taliban regime, al qaeda planned and conducted training for the september 11th attacks that killed 3,000 innocent
