we have seen the terrorism issue morph from afghanistan and 9/11 20 years ago to finding terror cells in nearly every part of the world. northernasia, and the area around afghanistan. we ought to be concerned, but -- >> but are steps being taken to mitigate that possibility? are you confident that the policy that this administration is taken is going to keep that from happening? >> well, there is no administration that is going to be able to avert terrorists where ever they may be around the world. we're aware of where the terrorists are likely to be and yes, we're taking steps everywhere and in the afghanistan area. not with our troops on the ground as has been the case in the past, but we will definite i will be working with the new government when it is formed and making it clear to them, and it is certainly strong in the last few weeks. >> colonel, do you agree with the general's assessment and what is your concern right now on what is happening on the ground in afghanistan and may happen in the next 12 to 18 months. >> it is very difficult to disagree. our view of the taliban is that they control we already know that is no
