just got a new ambassador to afghanistan today ryan crocker was sworn in as the new u.s. ambassador to the war stricken country and he's starting out with a bang already making some pretty strong statements first starters crocker has already explained that there will be no rush to exit from the country and then he went on to say we have no interest in permanent bases in afghanistan we will stay as long as we need to. and not one day more what exactly does that mean and frankly that comment is caught many people off guard including myself because of all of the statements about staying however long we need to in afghanistan despite that two thousand and fourteen deadline after all there are plenty of reasons why the u.s. would have an interest in keeping a permanent base there first of all there's a sour relations between the u.s. and pakistan and then there's the fact that afghanistan itself is nowhere near stable in fact many predict that the country will descend into violence the second america reduces their presence in any significant way and listen to how senator linds

ryan crocker who was on friday, confirmed as the newest ambassador to afghanistan.layers who are going to help make the decisions that the president is going to be making over the next several months and maybe years, having to do with the numbers of troops in place and the relationship between the united states government and the government of afghanistan. >> all right, tim, good stuff to look forward to today. >>> how would you like to wake up to $11 billion this morning? it happened at a temper overseas. we're talking about ancient buried treasure. find out exactly what was found after this quick break. >>> if you're up this early today, could be your special day. tuesday, july 5th is national workahol workaholics day. 16 minutes after the hour. almost tastes like one of jack's cereals. fiber one. uh, forgot jack's cereal.

he's meeting with ryan crocker the new ambassador to afghanistan. you've got to talk about public service and american heroes. this is a man who finally refire tired from government after taking every tough job, iraq, beirut, every war zone as ambassador. now he's signed on to come back and go to afghanistan. you've got a lot going on behind the scenes as well. >> reporter: that's right. but politically, the thing that is front and center is the debt. these debt talks because it's so tied to the economy. and while he does want to support a vote on libya which is another thing on the docket this week, the irony the president guilted harry reid to calling the senate back in and the first order of business is libya, not the debt talks. because it was the president that guilted congress into coming back this week, at least the house was scheduled to come back tomorrow, you've got to assume he is going to try to do everything he can to jump start a negotiating session. don't forget that's what we're at a deadlock. we're not at a deadlock over plans. we'r

ambassador to afghanistan ryan crocker said it's proof the taliban is so damaged, it can't carry out large-scale operations. he spoke today in kabul. >> they've had to kind of regroup and figure out what they can do and, in some cases, that has been assassination. we saw a very similar pattern in iraq. clearly, these are horrific attacks but they can also be interpreted as a sign of significant organizational weakness. >> sreenivasan: a taliban spokesman told the associated press the kandahar mayor was targeted for ordering the destruction of homes city officials claimed were illegally constructed. two children were killed during that demolition. the prime minister of norway today announced an independent commission will review how last week's twin attacks were allowed to happen. and more details emerged about the self-confessed killer, who is in police custody. we have a report from carl dinnen of "independent television news." >> reporter: by the side of the lake, a short distance from the island of utoya, norwegians are still grappling with the enormity of what happened in this be

country, right now, our best diplomats, in the foreign service, who is coming out of retirement, ryan crockerdave petraeus, in iraq and helped to turn the country around. i am very encouraged by what i believe he will be able to achieve in moving the political situation to a favorable outcome in the sense we'll have a far and open election and bring in a new government that is at least incrementally better than the one we have. >> jamie: seems like the timing is good for that. this president and this administration, have they been clear enough on the mission at this stage in afghanistan? for our brave men and women who are there, serving us every day? >> that is a great, great question. and my frustration is this: by taking the number of forces out, as quickly as they are taking them out, what that truly does not troops that remain, is, asking them to do more with less. and, frankly, we don't want to talk about that, but the truth is, that will drive our casualties up. because, we will have less troops on the ground, trying to accomplish the same mission, that they need to do with more. and t

ryan crocker said that there will be no, quote, rush for the its, end quote, as the u.s. prepares to withdraw from afghanistan. 10,000 troops are scheduled to come home by year's end. >>> a dramatic sight over dallas last night. take a look. an american airlines jet trailing fuel behind it. a 777. just left dallas for brazil when one of its engines caught fire. the pilot had to make a u-turn, had to dump all that fuel to attempt to lighten his load. still, though, several tires blew as the plane hit the runway. however, a safe landing otherwise. >>> and hundreds of same-sex couples made it official sunday. tying the knot on the first day that gay marriage became legal in new york. the weddings took place between young and old. protesters out in droves, vowing to fight the law. new york is the largest state to legalize gay marriage in this country. >>> football fans may get their wish. the four-month or so nfl lockout expected to end this week. the players union players committee is expected to vote today to recommend a ten-year labor agreement. it's the first in a series

david, i want to ask you about ryan crocker's job, ambassador to afghanistan and the degree of difficulty as he is about to take over dealing with the fundamentally, deeply flawed government and deeply, deeply flawed karzai. >> the degree of difficulty, 9.5 or whatever it might be, crocker, i have known since the early '80s. he's superb. his job, i think, is to keep afghanistan on track toward some kind of regional framework where afghanistan can work with india, pakistan and iran, which we mentioned earlier. a frame work for stability that will continue after karzai. he'll be gone after 2014. it sounds like mission impossible. if any american diplomat can do it, it's crocker. this is switching from military to diplomatic game number. >> 2014, what is afghanistan going to look like ? >> it's going to be a loose region that is quiet. some are not going to be quiet. we will still be there, however. we are not leaving completely. there are going to be special forces, special operation forces, training teams. people to support them. the thrust of what we are doing there is not going to be to
