RUSH EXCERPT:
DEPTULA: “Well, looking at Afghanistan after that is a bit of a different question. The bottom line is if we stick with the 31st deadline you are going to see a rapid decrease in the number of personnel being evacuated from that airport and it’s extraordinarily unfortunate because central command had 20 years develop a sound evacuation plan but they clearly didn’t. now, as to what is going to happen follow-on in Afghanistan. I have got to tell you, the president is not ending the war. He is just changing the character of it. And unfortunately, we’re going to need to go back to the equation that worked so well in the opening months of enduring freedom and that’s the use of smart use of air power in conjunction with small elements of special operations forces to control the terrorist threats to the United States that not only remain but, unfortunately, because of the situation, I’m afraid are going to metastasize and only grow.”
