it's been nearly ten months since the president's south asia strategy was announced. in support of the strategy, the administration has increased the number of u.s. troops on the ground, primarily to advise and enable the afghan security forces, made adjustments to the rules of engagement and sought to keep pressure on the taliban throughout the winter months. despite these changes, the lead inspector general for overseas contingency operations recently reported that available metrics showed few signs of progress, and the intelligence community assesses that the overall situation in afghanistan will probably deteriorate modestly this year, due to persistent political instability. sustained attacks by the taliban-led insurgency,unsteady afghan's national security forces performance, and chronic financial shortfalls. i'm interested in your thoughts on the security situation in afghanistan, particularly how we ensure we're making measurable progress in our efforts to train, advise and assist the afghan security forces. in addition to the advisory mission in afghanistan,

as a whole, that is one sentence out of the whole context of the south asia policy. the americans? i mean yes, trump administration. you mean, we shouldn't take trump seriously when he said that? i didn't say that. my point was that the south asia policy is a broad policy which afghanistan government, national unity government, has welcomed it. part of this is to keep the presence of the american troops in afghanistan condition—based rather than time—bound. the announcement of withdrawal of troops by 2014, made in 2012, i had the same view then and now. it was counter—productive. taliban were encouraged. taliban thought that between 2012 and 2014 they will avoid engagement with the international troops and they will come back full force and capture afghanistan. the truth is, even today, now that the americans have ramped up their forces, the taliban militarily is scoring major victories. both the us and independent analysis of your territory suggests that at least 40% of afghanistan today is either "contested territory" or is actually controlled by the taliban. and y
