when the taliban has made gains, unduz, afghan forces backed by coalition support have been able to pushhem back. it has come at a very heavy price. many troops have lost their lives as have civilians. , at the same time, afghan forces are still not as strong as they need to be. they are developing critical capabilities. intelligence, logistics, aviation, command and control. meanwhile, the taliban has made gains in rural areas and can still launch attacks in cities including kabul. ,much of this was predictable. we understood that as we transitioned, the taliban would try to exploit some of our movements out of particular areas and that it would take time for afghan security forces to strengthen. pressure from pakistan has resulted in more al qaeda coming into afghanistan and we have seen the emergence of an isil presence. the bottom line is that in key areas of the country the security situation is still very fragile. in some places there is risk of deterioration. fortunately, there is a national unity government that supports a strong partnership with the united states. earlier thisvi
