we've had plenty of antecedents such as vietnam, the fall of saigon, which happened quickly. and there was enough information that could have been extrapolated from what was going on at the particular -- at this particular time about two years ago that it was very clear that the central government in accoukabul was not going to lasts and we had to do something quickly to get our afghan partners out, the ones that had helped us, the translators, interpreters, other people who helped logistically and in other ways throughout the 20 years that we were in afghanistan. this is, indeed, a failure to plan and a failure to plan in this case resulted in a failure to act. >> all right. i want to turn to the war this ukraine. we continue to see reports that the counter insurgence isn't making the gains that might have been expected. why aren't ukrainians getting more traction right now? >> part of it i think has to do with the fact that the ukrainians don't have air superiority in the areas that the counteroffensive is actually going to be taking place in. that is a significant shortfal

attack are carried out in more than 100 cities and outposts across south vietnam, including way in saigon and the us embassy is invaded. so this effective bloody attack, it shocks us office officials and marks a real turning point in the war and the beginning of a gradual us withdrawal from the region. casualties continue to mount, however, a record 543 soldiers were killed during one week in in february. add to this 1968 march 16th. we have the my lai massacre in which more than 500 civilians are murdered by us forces. the victims are men, women and children. this, of course, is not made public for about 20 months later, when the reporter, new york reporter seymour hersh and covers the story. and so this war is just disintegrating into into an indefensible action abroad. president johnson halts the bombing in vietnam north of the 20th parallel, and he's facing a backlash about the war. and he announces that he will not run for reelection. so i remember this talk. it was march 31st, 1968 was my birthday. i was turning 13 years old. and he comes on on the television and he said, i shall no

why then did we see a repeat of saigon with diplomatic personnel being evacuated off of the roof of an embassy? that is exactly what president biden said would never happen. because of a failure to plan for mercy. it failure to plan for a situation when things don't go exactly perfectly. exactly as you planned this. basic military. a failure to plan the security of the high personnel cannot be guaranteed. as a result there is no diplomatic presence on the ground today. i get in the words of the administration, a spokesperson for the for sake, united states will retain significant absence in the region as the president talk about over the horizon capability. to counter the potential reemergence of a terrorist threat. that is garbage. any over the horizon capabilities that we have to deal with terrorist threats four wideouts happened almost immediately and have only gotten worse from the onset of the withdrawal and the decision to abandon -- airfield. our capabilities were dismissed and -- was a member of i.s.i.s. games who had just been released from the bottom of the president. now, in
