u.s. troops obviously work with both of them frankly. how will they distinguish and will this become a complicated problem? >> it was a complicated problem one obama entered that disaster is deal. we had a long conversation when i was the director of the cia, it was complicated long before this morning. what we are trying to do is reduce the complexity and takedown this malign activity that the clerical crypto grants are engaged in to change their behavior in such a fundamental way and we can be safe all across the world uncertainly and iraq and the middle east. >> the head of the irg c, he has by all accounts a bad character and has led all kinds of attacks. are you saying that he now is equated to let's say the head of isis. in u.s. policy perspective? >> yeah, he is a terrorist. >> bret: is a country we have a policy to target him or capture him? >> he has the blood of americans on his hands. as does the force that he leaves. america is determined each time we find an argument, an individual that is taking the lives of americans kudos

speaking of the footprint, i think i have the numbers here, 14,000 u.s. troopstroops in afghanistan, you just said that there should be troops always there, did i hear you say that? will there be an afghanistan without u.s. troops? >> well, i think the question as long as there's ungoverned space which terrorists enemies of ours who speak to do us harm in our country would use to their advantage, meaning that the countries in the region specifically pakistan and afghanistan if they are unable to secure those areas, then in some form we need to be in afghanistan conducting counterterrorism operations. now, our administration will decide how small that footprint can be. i think we would like it to be as small as possible and mission with the united states conducting own operations when needed, but i think that -- that's certainly the ultimate goal. what that number is in terms of troops and supporting capability intelligence and diplomatic and other, that's to our administration and the folks on the ground to figure out that hard challenge out. arthel: that's the

a candidate and now a president who does not like having u.s. troops it has been elusive and a tough one to fix. >> bret: i interviewed the nato secretary general of short time back asked him about the troop levels they are too. if the u.s. draws down in afghanistan, will nato draw down? >> we went in together, and we will leave together. but the main focus now is the peace negotiations. which is led by the united states, and we hope that that will lead to a peaceful settlement that will enable us to use the source. but we are committed to staying as long as needed, because the taliban must understand that they will never win on the battlefield. >> bret: at the same time all of this is happening, susan, the taliban is actively attacking. we lost u.s. troops just in the past couple of weeks. >> they are a dominant force there is still. and any negotiate a peaceful factor that in, and the most extreme caliban elements are not even part of the peace talks. but they will be a part of whatever power structure remains if the united states leaves. so if the u
