in fact, with more details our correspondent caleb bump and anthony blank in the us. secretary of state is testifying before the congressional committee and they are giving him quite a grilling people have looked on at the u. s. pull out of afghanistan, and the chaos that has followed with quite a bit of disapproval. now interestingly, representative gregory, who was the chair of the committee. when he spoke, he began by saying the united states should have withdrawn from afghanistan 19 years ago, but remained in the country due to quote hubris and a desire to remake afghanistan. now needless to say, when we've got a situation where the taliban is in power and there's approximately 100 americans still stuck in afghanistan and there were some tough questions that were asked of the secretary of state. here's some of what we heard people, the situation we find ourselves in is far worse, in my judgement. as a former chairman of homeland security committee, far worse than pre 9, a want to make matters worse. we bandon americans behind enemy lines. i can summarize this in one word, betrayal.
