generalegin with petraeus. what is the big idea in the paper and what do you think is the big eyed dia in afghanistan going forward? petraeus: i will note that you left off in the discussion the reasons for optimism, a hugely important football team started season three and one this year, an extraordinary reversal of experience in recent years. some of you recall i always had to topic off-limits questions. we may relax that this year and what a pleasure it is to be with three of america's truly greatest diplomats, each of whom to workn privileged with in a variety of capacities. the big ideas here are several. continue -- the most important is the reason we went to afghanistan. afghanistan isre never again a sanctuary for al qaeda or other extremists the way it was the 9/11 attacks were planned and the additional trending conducted there. we have accomplished that today. core.s really the when i was the commander of the u.s. forces there, central command, that was the most in mind. task we very much wanted to h

more than 1,000 e-mails between hillary clinton and david petraeus. and it gets worse. chief intelligence correspondent katherine harris has more. >> these fbi files show 1,000 e-mails between david petraeus and hillary clinton were never provided to the state department and they're believed to be among the e-mails deleted that were labelled personal and not work related. by 2012, petraeus was promoted to cia director. in one exchange, clinton tellsp unsecured account. if there is anything you need or want me to know, please use this personal e-mail address, all the best, hillary. state department told fox that released the e-mails they got and they can't account for the records from the general. >> new allegations about a potential conflict of interest at the fbi? >> that is right, records show that a life got over $400,000 from the virginia governor, a clinton confident. she ran for state senate in virginia last year, and she lost but she got $457,000 from common ground va. she was recruited in march of 2015. at that time, mccay's husband was an associate deputy direc

and that ideology seems to me attacks in places of vulnerability as general petraeus says. those areas of vulnerability happen to be for the most part countries with names, although the enemy per se does not have an address. so, the question it seems to me, if this is about the importance of an enduring commitment, the importance of a communication that makes clear to people why that commitment should be enduring, et cetera, it seems to me there are two things that must be present and i'm not sure whether we've touched on them. one is, some form of metrics. something that says to people, we told you this was to be enduring, and there are certain guide posts, certain metrics that we will determine, much as an oncologist would determine with a cancer, and we'll tell you when they have been met. second, so that if that is done, that heightens the level of domestic support that would be essential under any set of circumstances for america, for any president forks any congress, to do what this group of experts has said we need to do. >> let's take that third question and then go

i think we have a sound bite from general petraeus. i don't know if you want to play that now.e don't have it? one of the things he said is that it will be a tough fight, of course. he said that's not the real battle. that comes after the islamic state has cleared out. because how do you hold those areas? there's been some criticism of the united states and the government of iraq for the telegraphing that this battle was coming. i think it's important for people to remember that sometimes when you are on the battleground, one of the things you have to do is -- you want to encourage the rebels or people there protecting the cities and churches that we're -- help is coming. hang tight. you want to discourage the enemy, hopefully they will leave. you want to warn people so they can get out of the way and be safe. >> you have a situation here, eric, where obviously it's very important trying to get back. that's right up your field. >> kirkuk where there's oil production. that is more easily defended. you have to worry about the southern part of iraq where the oil fields and access

general milley, the "wall street journal" published an article by general petraeus last month. it was entitled "the myth of the u.s. military readiness crisis." in it he characterized army's weapons inventory in the following way. while some categories of aircraft and other key weapons are aging and will need replacement or major refurbishment soon, most remains in fairly good shape. according to our sources, army has mission capable rates today exceeding 90%, and that is historically high level. general, do you believe that general petraeus was correct in that assessment to that -- the equipment and mission capable rates are what he says they are, and what does that tell us, or possibly what does it not tell us about this state of the army? >> thanks, senator. i've got -- i know general petraeus and i have a lot of respect for him, along with the co-author. both are very talented. but as you might expect, i don't necessarily agree with that. the readiness issue, you know, the title of the article, i don't know if crisis is the right word. that's packed with emotion, but there

and so, when admiral mullen and general petraeus came to congress and said, if you pull these people out before the fighting season is end, it puts people more at risk, that's the problem. yes, we drew 22,000 troops down last month, but the remaining troops that are there, who still have the same mission to prosecute counterinsurgency, are doing it with fewer people. that makes them less safe. v.p. biden: fighting season -- rep. ryan: we're sending fewer people out in all of these hotspots to do the same job that they were supposed to do a month ago. v.p. biden: because we turned it over -- rep. ryan: but we took 22,000 people out -- v.p. biden: -- we turned it over to the afghan troops we trained. no one got pulled out that didn't get filled in by trained afghan personnel. and he's -- he's conflating two issues. the fighting season that petraeus was talking about and former -- and admiral mullen was the fighting season this spring. that's what he was talking about. we did not -- we did not pull them out. rep. ryan: the calendar works the same every year. v.p. biden: it does work the

work, i am thankful that that is part of the plan implemented undera great american hero, general petraeus, and pushed hard by anothergreat american, senator john mccain. i know that the other ticket opposed this surge, in fact, evenopposed funding for our troops in iraq and afghanistan. barack obama voted against funding troops there after promising that he would notdo so. and senator biden, i respected you when you called him out on that. you said that his vote was political and you said it would costlives. and barack obama at first said he would not do that. heturned around under political pressure and he voted against fundingthe troops.we do have a plan for withdrawal. we don't need early -- withdrawal out of iraq. we cannot afford to lose there or we're goingto be no better off in the war in afghanistan, either. we have got to win in iraq. and with the surge that has worked, we're now down topre-surge numbers in iraq. that's where we can be. we can start putting more troops in afghanistan as we also work with our nato allies who are the restrengthening us. and we need to grow our mili
