in pakistan . and the pakistani taliban and. it was big and the chinese and others so the first task is to destroy this infrastructure and begin control no where does those people go first it is to protect the civilians. and those of us who want to see if presage you allow them to go to one instance you can see the border photos but obviously you don't want the dead it is to escape because they can turn back to us so i think the military level distinct has been planned for quite a number of years so i'm sure they have made arrangements and this isn't mean that the danger of dead isn't real and when not what is done is good many of them escaped many of us cities and they pose a threat to us and we expect some kind of blowback a backlash from this. take a little longer but then in the next phase we need cooperative efforts so that from outside we do not have tickets and as you note that it is a myth that it goes the later to the duck problem which i just. missed a lot of discussed that how to protect the duct tape from expanding f

i find pakistan ever so puzzling. and i don't know how to characterize it. >> senator, in my time in afghanistan, i have met individuals and also i've had the opportunity to see him travel to meet with both men and our type of situation and the numbers of hours, the discussions, i'm convinced of a couple of things in intelligence and in the engagements. first and foremost i believe that the pakistani army recognizes the extremism is an existential threat to the state of pakistan. and i think they are determined to do something about that threat. unless confident that today they have the capability to do all that needs to be done to deal with that inside of afghanistan, which is why i think the sedum focus on the most pressing threat reflecting in inability to deal more broadly with extremism. but this is a reason that it's important that we develop this effective relationship and i think the united states can play a unique role in facilitating that relationship because the way that we will get after this problem is by

we're also certainly aware of enemy forces moving from pakistan into pakistan into afghanistan and we've had a disruptive effect on the extremists. so there's a positive effect as well as those challenges of the enemy moving to afghanistan. i think what remains to be seen and what we're watching very closely is what will pakistan do as these groups start to move back north. we have a commitment from our pakistani counterparts right now that they will not allow those groups to come back. they've taken visible measures to destroy the efforts as a whole. frankly, that's something that is to be determined and we're watching that closely and i think it's going to require that we stay engaged with our counterparts to be sure that that does not happen again. >> one final question. what do you think will be your greatest challenge in inheriting this position as you move forward? >> senator, i think the greatest challenge is going to be to continue to provide a ready force of the marines to the country today and at the same time make the kinds of decisions and the kind of investments that ensure

the lessons for those in pakistan without being 100% definite about who i mean there, those in pakistan who see a weak and divided afghanistan as it impacts pakistan's interests take this as a signal that their efforts to that end have always been right and should continue. the taliban are certainly taking -- this as an opportunity to put greater pressure on the afghan security forces so they have mounted up a pretty impressive offensive over the last few weeks. that offensive is likely to spread to other areas in the -- in the south and east. in coming weeks. the continuing unfolding of a kistani offensive in the north and the impact it will have on afghanistan is still unclear. it may well be negative for afghanistan. because right now, there's not enough coordination between the afghan and pakistani military and security authorities on how to handle that. there are -- these dangers are accelerating. and it's a time when afghanistan needs united leadership. and that is where i hope it will be. within the next couple of weeks. the final election-related thing i wanted to mention was th
