but selling, using american soldiers to sell karzai to the people, karzai needs to do infinitely better to make the american, that job even possible. >> charlie: let me turn to libya. the african union had a deal they proposed to gadhafi and they proposed it to the rebels. what do we make of that. >> that was no deal. the african union and i hate to say this but a lot of the african union leaders in libya's pocket in gadhafi's pocket for years. they've been literally in their pocket. they take money from libya and have been for a long time. whenever there was a meeting of the african union and gadhafi was in charge, they would even up getting large sacks of money. so he's owned this organization for some time and they've been incredibly quiet up until now there's been very little condepartment nation. >> charlie: there is a perception there's a stalemate today. >> militarily there's a stalemate. nato is set up to fail. it's not strong enough to let the rebels win and it's not strong enough to let the rebels lose. you can have a safe haven but we're not going to defend you as you march b

it is a rotten government that karzai leads. there will be difficulties building an afghan security force, sanctuary in pakistan makes it all the more difficult. may be impossible. at the same time, the consequences of failure in meeting our objectives which involve global terrorism, regional stability, those are objectives and the consequences of not meeting them, i think, are rather, are rather frightening. let's not fool ourselves into believing that there are very -- or any current plan b's out there that are benign. the best we can hope for at this moment at least is coming close to realizing our objectives with the insurgency, a counter insurgency. we need to give it every opportunity to prove itself. that doesn't mean indefinitely. i fear that we are likely to lose the war here before we lose it in afghanistan. >> thank you, mark. steve, you were the first one to break the story about negotiations going on since you broke in all kinds of things. we have pakistanis going over to afghanistan, talk about a common front. we'v

we gave them karzai and they're all waiting for karzai because he is one of figures. but the army is mostly tajik and the northern and when you get to the south right as they don't speak pashtun. they're absolutely right. they say you know as well as we that their army is occupying as much as we are, to which i say yeah, we know that. what other options are given then that's going at the afghan army which isn't the same, which the other gentleman is right. there are those pashtuns that we can break, so i'm really not sure how this will really ever played out. i am more sure though that your. that's a problem. >> my question picks up a little on his but it's more about u.s. wars, talking about the wargo coulter -- warrior culture and the advanced technology culture. and you are calling non-a strategy of advising, funding. do you see that in our system and administration of the american culture generally continues the evolution of this kind of a very sophisticated, multi-dimensional culture. we needed elsewhere, too. certainly none of these guys can speak posh to and wh

the karzai government, the u.s. are fighting for represent a government in afghanistan, and the people want a peace negotiation that is perfectly consistent with the overall mission of nato and the afghan government to give them what they want and to make a genuine try. i do think that there is a reasonable prospect of negotiations could succeed in delivering what i suggested was america's bottom line objective, which is to prevent afghanistan from again becoming not just a sanctuary for al qaeda, but an ally with al qaeda. and that should be the bottom line objective of the united states in any such come in any such negotiations. but negotiations can only succeed if they don't have to succeed. negotiations can only succeed if one has a viable alternative to success. and that means that in this case the united states has to be preparing for two different futures. one in which negotiations succeed and is a component of that negotiation. the u.s. agrees to withdraw its forces. and there are a number of other component

one purpose it's to gain control team influence in the region the idea that they would actually go to karzai and say come to us is frankly pretty credible pretty honest when we look at what they've always tried to do they want to control this area they want to ensure that they are the ones who get to put their stamp on it and they're driving forward makes a lot of sense based upon what they've done in the past i'm just wondering with petraeus now going to the cia does that kind of give him an easy way out of this war in afghanistan that he was asked to take over there is supposed to start a scheduled withdrawal in july we still haven't heard any type of numbers in that respect we still have no idea when this war and i and it is a client my it's a mess and now he just gets to wipe his hands clean of it or perhaps make an i.e.d. they are adding their own terms of drone there i guess the real significant thing is for obama because he has said that he writes a significant drawdown this summer given the fact that general petraeus with his strategy he's invested in it he may not be happy about tha

government and they are not going to get it but do you think that karzai is really serious i mean of course he's given a lot of threats to contractors in the past said that he was going to take out a lot of the firms even last year he gave a four month time limit we didn't really see that kind of a for which and so much and quite the opposite i think that one of the excuses that a lot of lawmakers more conservative lawmakers here on capitol hill use as a reason to not withdraw is that they think that the afghanistan government having karzai is going to think that we're abandoning that so how do you put the two and two together. and he really can't because if you look at how he acts. if you push it i don't think it's serious but you can't beat your plans based on which if they can but i mean i don't see any other way around for i think the security contractor sector will grow here continue to grow and it's going to parallel i reckon but we're going to drawdown of forces i just don't see it happening unless you're talking about logistical or or headquarters assets just trying to shrink

if president karzai is doing anything that we want to do it should be a it would be a better first into a recent time it was never on go he was just going to sleep over the year nine kids are killed opportunities so there's new question that he was not exactly of any help. in your teen crowds gather gets very violent even and so i don't think he was expecting that but it certainly didn't help things it was it was it was an awful tragedy and he did nobody saw this coming yeah it certainly didn't help the fact that he can perhaps say that this is sound frames at night in florida that's doing this and it doesn't represent you know all of the troops they international forces or all of america either you know some people even concept are to say that this is the end for the international aid community if attacks on the community now become a constant but you say that. i mean i would i would say that if it if the community started being singled out and targeted this is the second time the us could singled out targeted and i don't think that that's a mistake not the aid community per se althoug

you know against the entire muslim community a crime against the muslim religion and you know i mean karzai is somebody that might be doing things that the u.s. and international forces want them to but then when it comes to making a public appearance are the afghan people often help play an entirely different tune to try to play out his independence so do you think that perhaps he was a bit of an agitator in the situation himself. we don't know if hama. if president karzai is doing anything that we want to do it should be a it would be a better first interval and research on time it was no longer he was as new sleep over the year and nine kids killed up to come nor is it so there's no question that he was not exactly of any help. in ukraine crowds gather again very well and even in cool so i don't think he was expecting then but it certainly didn't help things it was it was it was that awful tragedy i mean that nobody saw this coming yeah well it certainly didn't help the fact that he can perhaps say that this is some frames in florida that's doing this and doesn't represent you know all o

government and they are not going to get it but do you think that karzai is really serious i mean of course he's given a lot of threats to contractors in the past seven he was going to take out a lot of the firms even last year and gave a four month time limit we didn't really see that kind of the fruition so much and quite the opposite i think that one of the excuses that a lot of lawmakers more conservative lawmakers here on capitol hill use as a reason to not withdraw as that they think the path can't stand government that honey karzai is going to think that we're abandoning that so how do you put the two and two together. he really can't because if you look at how he acts he'd look for the question i don't pick sears but you can't beat your plans based on which is take i mean i don't see any other way around for i think the security contractor sector will grow here and continue to grow and it's going to parallel i reckon but we're going to drawdown of forces i just don't see it happen unless you're talking about logistical or or headquarters s.s. just trying to shrink a number of

it is a rotten government that karzai leads. there is going to be difficult to building an afghan security force, the sanctuary in pakistan makes it all the more difficult. may be an possible. at the same time, the consequences of failure in meeting our objectives which involve global terrorism, regional stability, those are objectives and the consequences of not meeting them i think are rather frightening. let's not fool ourselves into believing that there are any current plan b's plans out there that are benign. the best we can hope for at this moment at least his coming close to realizing our objective with the counterinsurgency, a comprehensive counterinsurgency. we need to give it every opportunity to prove itself indefinitely. i fear that we are likely to lose the war here before revisit in afghanistan. >> thank you marvin. steve you were the first one to break the story about negotiations going on since you have been in all kinds of things. we have the pakistanis going over to afghanistan to talk about a common front. we

moment karzai win out -- does hamid karzai win out? will there be a parliamentary system that evolves with more authority? >> richard, do you want to take the question about vietnam and the others can talk about the other part? >> i am not qualified to talk about the organization and the parallels. it looks that way. the excuse is being constructed to get us out. i hear on encouraging things about how that is going. >> since i raised that point, i am stuck. if it quacks like a duck, it is a duck. everything depends on afghanistan's future. the vietnamese, when they finally settled down and decided their own future, were pretty good at it. i am not sure afghanistan has the same parallel. it makes sense to do the same thing to empower afghans to do the same thing with their future. >> it is important to understand as americans that we are enamored with the idea that a new constitution will make a big change. constitutions are not kept in the reference section. they are kept in the periodical section of the library. thomas was mentioning

what does the karzai government to negotiate a deal that would have the americans leaving? they're getting extremely rich. dexter's piece on the kabul bank heist. it's staggering the amount of money these guys are stealing and it creates an enormous incentive it seems to me to keep going and about the last thing they want is the americans to wind down the war because this -- the gravy train stops. how do we change that dynamic. >> thank you, bill. why don't we start with larry and joe spriteluber on the northern alliance role, dan, biggest surprise and bill goodfellow -- >> on the biggest surprise was that this function on the miles an hour team, every place we went we got, you know -- you know, eikenberry doesn't get along and dick holbrooke was still alive and we wished mcchrystal was alive. it just looked like we did not have a common position over there. i mean, you heard about it but when you hear it, just remember from the parliament, from members of the opposition, from everybody else, that was not only surprising but disheartening. >> i'll talk about the northern al

from president karzai. that's his goal and his objective and i think in some breaks coming our way, i think that is likely but the end of combat operations as we've seen in iraq which happened in august of last year does not mean that withdrawal of all american troops. in fact we've had 50,000 troops in iraq conducting advise and assist missions. there is some possibility they will be asked by the iraqi government to stay longer in iraq and secretary gates indicated he would be likely to view that favorably. i think in the same way we're going to see a long-term advise and assist presence in afghanistan with, again in s had. alah a small number of u.s. casualties but continuing to develop the afghan ability to govern themselves and secure themselves. >> okay. so one of the things that has been unique about the status of force agreement in iraq is that for the, which was concluded in december 2008, is that it's almost been a formula type exit and it has been very smooth and the transfer of authorities, very,

mr karzai. that is can get pretty ugly and has actually. we just have a minute a half or so i'm curious your take. first of all is it possible that in libya right now we're arming the next to some of it by taking sides in this thing and and well let me just as that person well the concern is who who make up the rebel forces there have been there been intelligence reports and captured documents from iraq showing that that al qaeda had a very big success rate in recruiting people from eastern libya they became the capital the largest number of suicide bombers used against american forces in iraq so the question becomes is that element part of the rebel army opposing could offer you and so the united states is a little concerned that it may repeat what happened in afghanistan by by supporting people we don't know and they turn out to be you know we're just very quickly your thoughts on terry jones the kill squads the you know with the stuff that's going on in afghanistan right now or is this a symptom of ten years of occupation time for us to

we designed a government of afghanistan for hamid karzai to fail for lack of a better term. he's responsible for every single government officials and disappointed, response all for every provincial governor. all 400 district south governors are appointed by hamid karzai and we chose the man to lead this who didn't have a substantial militant economic or political ties to the rest of the country. so we created the situation with a very, very strong central leader who is substantially responsible for almost every political arrangement in the country and gave nothing but money to leverage power. we shouldn't be surprised this is broken and this isn't working. so, when we think about what to do with the constitution to is a danger in revising the constitution and in putting out the serial constitution's but in the first 20 years the united states was an independent country we went through three's with the first we shouldn't we have read every visiting a mistake that happened or saying we set this up to not work and when we look at what is happening in the province and not in th

mr karzai. good this can get pretty ugly and has actually. we just have a minute a half or so i'm curious your take. first of all is it possible that in libya right now we're arming the next osama bin laden by taking sides in this thing and ends and well let me just as that first well the concern is who who make up the rebel forces there have been there been intelligence reports and captured documents from iraq showing that. they had a very big success rate in recruiting people from eastern libya they became pro-capital largest number of suicide bombers used against american forces in iraq so the question becomes is that element part of the rebel army opposing could offer you and so the united states is a little concerned that it may repeat what happened in afghanistan by supporting people we don't know and they turn out to be you know we're just very quickly your thoughts on terry jones the kills. you know with the stuff that's going on in afghanistan right now or is this a symptom of ten years of occupation time firstly i think in a way it

so michael you know it press we're talking about politics or principle you know president karzai had asked congress to condemn this action do you think they said well it borders christine i think. they were only the qur'an was no doubt the wrong thing to do you know its own and you want religious symbols is absolutely wrong the same way do you want to efface it's all wrong or to burn a bible the issue i don't think is one where the united states should alter the first amendment just freedom of speech it might be more to get to the garment why they're such a violent reaction so one man's action or what do you mean get to the bottom of it what do you think this comes from i mean do you think it's specifically over this one man's action i mean we saw what happened over one action with the danish cartoonist or do you think there's something bigger here. i think it's the reaction over one man's action i think that that president karzai didn't do the situation any favors by stirring up the situation. you know i think that freedom of speech in america is is crucial so the way that we live a

so how do ordinary people react to the presence of the united states and what is going on with karzai being against this and so forth? do the understand that we are really there to help them, or is there any kind of hostility about these other things happening? thank you very much, once again, for writing about these ordinary people who are the heroes and heroines of the world. thank you so much again. >> guest: thank you. another excellent question which is why i love c-span. i think that what fascinates me not told and are not in the headlines and are not men with guns and their stories are so often not told. and in afghanistan if i see what you think of when i see afghanistan people think of bombing, kidnapping, not usually carry wins and entrepreneurs and regular families who are just like families here, doing the best they can everyday to make something better for the sake of their children. and i think, you know, women in the stories are almost never told when it comes to the war and that's why i thought this matter. in terms of your question about what the impression is about t

or does this come out of karzai. >> karzai condemned it. >> but, you know, bill, i mean when we talk about how benited the reaction is, some of the reports out of afghanistan you're saying the taliban is purposely using this, knows it will inflame'm and trying to create a mess there. a way, another step to win the war. >> taliban is trying to exploit this. he's trying to endanger troops there. this is not an excuse to kill the u.n. workers or anyone else, including the fellow muslims on the ground in afghanistan. so it's a bad situation. i don't think it should distract us from the fact we've made progress in afghanistan. >> chris: a final thought? >> it's clearly a situation where you have to hold the people responsible who are engaging in this crazy response and killing each other. terrible. jones i just think, i just think he is despicable in terms of disregard for american life. but all life. he acts as if he can have the demonstration and it won't have an impact. sorry, sir, but it does. it hurts people and the united states government. it hurts world peace. i don't understand w

and that date actually came from president karzai. that's his goal and his objective and i think in some breaks coming our way, i think that is likely but the end of combat operations as we've seen in iraq which happened in august of last year does not mean that withdrawal of all american troops. in fact we've had 50,000 troops in iraq conducting advise and assist missions. there is some possibility they will be asked by the iraqi government to stay longer in iraq and secretary gates indicated he would be likely to view that favorably. i think in the same way we're going to see a long-term advise and assist presence in afghanistan with, again in s had. alah a small number of u.s. casualties but continuing to develop the afghan ability to govern themselves and secure themselves. >> okay. so one of the things that has been unique about the status of force agreement in iraq is that for the, which was concluded in december 2008, is that it's almost been a formula type exit and it has been very smooth and the transfer of authorities, very,

karzai condemned the killing. an afghan man shot the two servicemen in the northern part of the country. the pentagon says they are pulling warplanes out the libyan conflict today. others will take the lead into enforcing the no-fly zone. secretary of state clinton spoke out in favor of the effort. >> the fact that we have the greater capacity with missiles to take out airfield and air defense systems and all the things we did earlier in this action. >> are we arming the rebels now? since we don't know who these people are? >> it would depend. i might need to know more but i would be inclined to do it. i sure wouldn't shut the door to it. >> president obama has clearly stated that the u.s. has no plans to arm rebel forces or send ground troops in libya. >> a dog rescued from the tsunami wreckage was reunited with the owner. she could hardly contain her joy when she saw her owner. her owner saw the rescue on tv. the family was impacted by the tsunami but not significantly. how the dog survived on that rooftop is a

last week, afghan president hamid karzai condemned the act publicly and before long, jones became a hot topic in cafes and mosques and pakistan's parliament. so clerics with bull horns had no trouble organizing today's protest, which turned into a blood bath. most days, mazar e sharif is one of the quietest towns in a war-torn country. there was no real alarm when local afghans marched on the u.n. compound, shouting slogans against israel and america. and this moment in a far away christian church two sundays back. >> and the koran was found guilty. >> reporter: the man at the desk is pastor terry jones, the self-appointed judge in a mock trial of the koran. in front of him is pastor wayne sapp, the executioner, who went on to light a copy of the book soaked in kerosene. though video of the burning can be found on links through jones' website, there's no telling how many people at today's rally watched it. but you can see the crowd grow angrier when a radical cleric announced that not one, but many korans were burned. their anger soon turned to action, and they rushed the gates. unable

we designed this for karzai to fail. he is our schwann's before every single public officials who gets appointed come every provincial governor. we chose a man who did not have substantial militants, economic, or political ties so we created a situation with a very, very strong central leader who is responsible for every political arrangement and give him nothing but money. this is not working. when we think about what to do with the constitution, there is a danger in putting down serial constitutions, but when the u.s. was a nation, we went through three. we should not make the mistake. when we look at what is happening in this process, despite the tremendous baggage associated, and they were doing this in the early 1900's, but this was a ethnically cleansing areas, and try to balance out the country. these have a lot of baggage and then go along with them. the words reusing to describe what we want to do have an effective. when we look at the constitutionality, we have to revisit this. the government does not and canno

it is not enough for them to talk to president karzai. they want to know what we think, would you think. suddenly, her several of them want to go home. it is increasingly hot for them over there. the incentives for everett with al qaeda -- there are incentives for a break with al qaeda. >> but we have to be absolutely clear that we do see a place for conservative passion in the political settlement -- a pashtun in then political settlement. we have to be explicit and clear that the model of governance cannot be a centralized market-controlled. that is the way i see this. there is a whole allied discussion that we are about to come to. we are one question away from that. >> the secretary of state said that she dropped a number of things, that the taliban accept a constitution for grounds for a dialogue. let's talk one minute about the afghans. you mentioned the prison break up. that is, in some ways, the most recent demoralizing development. the real potential to build not on the short run but on the long run and enduring set of institutio
