I AM NOT VERY FAMILIAR WITH AFGHAN HISTORY SO I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT WHAT IS BETWEEN ALEXANDER AND... |

| 00:32:26 |
|
RIGHT HERE AND THEN WE WILL GO TO MIKE. |
| 00:32:28 |
|
MENTIONED THAT A LOT OF THE PROBLEMS IN AFGHANISTAN WERE ALSO NOT NECESSARILY AGITATED PROBLEMS AND... |
| 00:32:59 |
|
AND PROBABLY ISN'T SUSTAINABLE AS A STRATEGY BECAUSE THE LAST TIME I TALK TO THE DEFENSE SECRETARY... |
| 00:35:08 |
|
OKAY, -- |
| 00:35:14 |
|
FOLLOWING UP ON PAKISTAN POLICY THEY HAVE A GOVERNMENT THERE, HOW DOES THE U.S. GOVERNMENT IN DEALING... |
| 00:35:39 |
|
YOU CAN'T -- ISLAMABAD IS AS CONSIDERED WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE PASHTUN REGION AS ANYBODY ELSE AND... |
| 00:36:36 |
|
WE WILL GO TO THIS GENTLEMAN THERE IF WE CAN ALL REMEMBER CANNOT IDENTIFY YOURSELVES. |
| 00:36:45 |
|
THIS THE OBJECTIVE IS AFGHANISTAN TO KEEP MAKING SURE THAT AL QAEDA CAN'T BE THERE, WHAT DOES THAT... |
| 00:37:05 |

| 00:44:54 |
|
I REMEMBER BECAUSE THEY KEPT THE TOP SENIOR MEETINGS OUT OF THE DECISION -- |
| 00:45:00 |

I THINK THAT THE PERSIANS THE STORY IS A LITTLE BIT LIKE THE GUY WHO TEASE ABOUT AND AS A HUGE SLICE... |
| 00:45:25 |
