forces and other nato forces from afghanistan is good for afghanistan and good for our allied countries. today we discussed that. we have finalized plans. so 2014 will be a year in which the united states will not be spending as much money in afghanistan as it is spending today. it will save money and we will be providing security ourselves. >> but for another two and a half years until the end of 2014, there will be thousands of american troops in afghanistan. >> yes, yes. >> and that will be expensive. >> it will be expensive, like it was in the past ten years, but this is a commitment that the world community has made to the war on terror, to the security of the united states, to the security of the world and to the security of afghanistan. >> are you satisfied with this withdrawal schedule or is it too fast -- >> no, we are satisfied. >> are you ready to take over all of afghanistan by the end of 2014? >> absolutely. we have already worked out plan to have in six months' time 75% of the country taken over by afghan security forces. >> the new president of france wants all french tro

and afghanistan? >> well, wolf, president obama is moving very quickly across afghanistan during this visit for a very simple reason. as he tries to move ahead with this strategic partnership keeping the details of this trip secret is key to keeping the president safe. it doesn't get much riskier than sending the president of the united states into a war zone. president obama arrived into bagram air base, afghanistan, under cover of darkness with extraordinary security measures. reporters traveling with the president were sworn to secrecy. the secret service is prepared for anything that could happen. it starts with getting in. u.s. planes landing in afghanistan perform a corkscrew type landing making sharp banks and terms to avoid heat seeking missiles. the colonel knows first hand how dangerous it can be. now retired he told wolf blitzer about secretly taking george w. bush to baghdad in 2003 while combat raged. >> the challenge wasn't so much to get him in there because we easily fooled everybody a

afghanistan. >> afghanistan. >> but you don't want to talk about other places? >> don't want to talk about other places. >> it's a very sensitive subject. >> then why would i talk about it? >> of course. [ laughter ] he's very good. i've heard top u.s. officials, secretary panetta and others, testify, there are fewer al qaeda elements left in afghanistan today than there are in yemen, for example, or somalia, for that matter. is that true? >> you know, i think that's a true statement. and again, it's been a year since i've been in afghanistan, but the number of al qaeda in afghanistan, you know, a year ago, numbers somewhere in the hundred or so. they can still be key interlocketters. so we're always aware of them, and where there are al qaeda, the military makes an very aggressive stance to go after them. so they are still a problem in afghanistan that we have to deal with. are there more in yemen? based on the reports that i see and the open press reports, there certainly appear to be a lot of al qaeda in yemen. >> and what do you -- what should the u.s. be do

afghanistan is worse off. he's supervised the predator explosion and the missiles and into not only pakistan and also afghanistan and he's exacerbated the entire region and the people who are there are going to hate us more so for civilian damage, collateral damage. on top of it, you know, he's built up this reputation. first of all, as a military man, i really think he's overdoing it as a showman because he goes in front of congress to talk about the counter insurgencies wearing, if you noticed, the ribbons grow every year. he's got now like a regular fruit salad up here. amazing amount. and it's disgusting. general marshall, one of the greatest heroes of world war ii, is famous for being a modest man, going in front of congress and wearing hardly anything. >> he had this reputation of king david. >> very much so. >> a lot of people in the forces. didn't always mean it as a compliment. meant as he w slightly regal. >> america values success. what success in iraq and afghanistan? can you tell me? he's left --

and meanwhile, what is he doi i in afghanistan years later? it amadness. >> there is a theory, general mcarthur and patton and they all had affairs. it is modern digital media unvaf elling all of this stuff. >> i don't think the problem is that the general had an affair. he was director of the cia and he walked into one of the black mailable situations that he could have. it is not that he is a general messing around. according to the code of military justice that is not allowed. the press is focused on the director of the cia having this problem. >> perhaps the biggest story today is benghazi blowing up again. pushing very, very hard now getting vicious in the rhetoric towards ambassador rice and so on. what do you think she was merely passing on intelligence and therefore if she wants to make secretary of state, she can do it. >> i was the host and we were trying to get the secretary of state to talk about benghazi. and she didn't go out. didn't she make herself a key player? >> and she could have said look, we believe there are a number of

afghanistan, for example. but given the expanded congressional investigations, the lot of questions about the administration's handling, how much benghazi do you think will be in the next debate? >> i do think it's a certainty. it is, i will say, an important issue to investigate. the administration's investigating, congress is investigating, that's good. that's professionals doing their job. they happen to be professional politicians, too, but that is the job of the congress of the united states and also the pickering investigation that the administration has sponsored. the hard thing for both of these guys is i think they made important mistakes on this issue. the administration clearly did not have all the facts when they started saying that they had all the facts, so the initial stories they say were overtaken by events. that's a problem. governor romney, on the other hand, also didn't have all the facts and he issued a statement right when the attacks were happening that struck a lot of people, even repub

they were -- where there was a double agent used against them, goes on to a forward operating base in afghanistan and kills a whole bunch of cia officers because a double agent was used against them. the notion of having a double agent against al qaeda is a particularly satisfying victory for them. >> bob, you said in your career in the cia, you worked on devices, on bombs. what can you say about that? >> well, the cia has a long history of going after the airplane bombs and frankly they're the best in the government. they have a facility where they remake these things. when i was in beirut, we were coming across suitcases where groups there were putting -- in the walls the samsonite suitcases and putting in the devices. >> so it's been around for a long time? >> it's one of the most dangerous explosive to use against air planes. we'll get the guys to show us how they did it, and they were heroin smugglers and they switched over for the terrorist groups and put in petn. i we tested there. it's complicated making these things. and the fact that these have been reintroduce into this milieu again is

troops would still be in afghanistan and not 90,000 u.s. troops are there as we speak, ten years later, almost 12 years later. i wouldn't have expected that. i would have hoped that we would have been able to stabilize the situation and remove any al qaeda influence. we've done that, and maybe they can find other places to work out of, and i think they underestimate the ability of the taliban to remain a force in being and a continuing threat to the country of afghanistan. so we have to do what we can in the next year or two, but ultimately that taliban problem will have to be solved by the people of afghanistan and the leadership of afghanistan and the many, many afghan soldiers and police officers that we've been training for years will continue to train. so they'll continue to take on the burden and as we've seen in recent weeks more and more of them will be in charge of your country, but at the same time we have to be prepared even after 2014 to continue to provide them support, to do intelligence work and to keep our drones flying, but

she later travelled to afghanistan, interviewed petraeus, sometimes going running with him. interviews that led to the book "all in the education of general david petraeus." the revelation about the affair is bringing new interest in all the interviews broadwell did to promote the book and what she said about petraeus at that time. take a look. >> he at the end of the day is a human, and is challenged by the burdens of command and has mastered wearing the mask of command, if you will. so he has this mask of command, you think he's really confident, but i got to see a more personal side. i'm not in love with david petraeus. >> he is quite a physical specimen. he really loves to work out. i think at the agency they call him a genetic mutant. this project started as my dissertation. i was working with general petraeus virtually, doing interviews via e-mail. occasionally running with him and interviewing. i'm not a spokesperson for him. if showing a role model to other people in the world or other readers is a repugnant thing, i'm sorry, but i think the values he upholds and tri

how will you end the war in afghanistan? what will you do differently to prevent iran of getting a nuke cloer weapon? you see a theme here, anderson. the idea is, you can expect the president to be on the offensive to the extent he can be pressing governor romney tonight to explain his differences and one of the themes is, if he's not going to back the president's policy, the president is going to argue in a number of cases that governor is -- that governor romney is looking for more military action in a number of places around the world so endless war versus more of the same could be the way you see the president frame this. wolf? >> jessica, thank you. >>> his name was widely floated as a potential romney running mate and even though he didn't get the nod, republican senator marco rubio of florida remaining one of the gop's rising stars and certainly a major romney supporter. senator rubio is joining us now from boca raton. thank you for coming in. >> thank you, wolf. >> i'm sure you saw that sharp attack on you in sunday'

petraeus is a highly respected, retired four-star general who commanded forces in both iraq and afghanistan. he was sworn in to run the cia a little over a year ago with vice president biden with his wife holly at his side. that was the swearing in. they've been married 35 years, have two grown kids. so how will this revelation exact the u.s. intelligence community? joining me now is fran townsend and bob baer and suzanne kelly. suzanne, what more can you tell us about the probe into the relationship with paula broadwell? do we know how long this has been going on? >> we don't know how long it was going on, but just the -- so they're the ones that would look into accusations of inappropriate access to classified information. individuals that hold clearances, are they doing what they need to be doing to make sure that information stays safe? is there any opportunity whatsoever that that information could be exploited by either a spy or anyone else who shouldn't have access to that information. so the fact that they were the ones looking into this, tells you that, you know, they were concerne

pakistan does have legitimate security concerns in afghanistan. it would not be appropriate for pakistan to not respond to the reality that afghanistan should not be used as a staging ground for any kind of military or covert operations against pakistan. the u.s. would not have accepted a soviet base in mexico during the cold war. that said, i think that there is a paranoid mindset 234 in pakistan that does not allow rational discourse, and if the matter is discussed in a rational manner in which the paranoia is set aside -- and by the way, the paranoia runs wild in pakistan. i don't know how much to follow the pakistani media, but in everything, there's a conspiracy theory. >> directed by the cia? >> directed by the cia, directed by the american government. there's an conspiracy to take over the world, a term that nobody in america follows. i know there are many people in america who are zionists and many people of indian origin, but i have never heard of the indozionist sort of lobby here. there are things that are fed there. you know that even

frankly realistics me off personally, because we in montana have the highest signed up in the wars and afghanistan and iraq, per capita, we're patriotic, and a lot of men and women when they come home, they're disabled, and they're wounded, it makes me angry, frankly that one outfit wants to take advantage of vulnerable people for their own benefit. >> and it makes veterans groups harder to raise money. >> anderson, thank you for your good work, because you spotlighted this and that's good work. >> it's drew griffin that's done it all. so i appreciate it senator. >> one final note, we talked about drew's many unsuccessful attempts to get will coe which is to talk about the charity that she runs. the disabled veteran's national association has supplied veterans with supplies that have made a difference in their lives. let me just point out for the record, we have given them multiple opportunities to try to set the record straight, in their words. again, we invite her at any point to talk to drew, come on this show, we'll talk to them, to say that, you know, this is misleading, and that they're goin

spent a year over in afghanistan. so, you know, in washington, unfortunately, any sort of competent woman has that sort of access and is successful there, is bound to be snipping and gossiping. i don't think anybody took it seriously. he seemed beyond reproach. he worked incredible hard, incredibly confident. dianne feinstein called his resignation tragic. i think that's right. it's a real loss to the country. this aside, right. so you asked suzanne when would the white house have known? whenever the fbi opens an investigation of a narrow fishl, they have to make notifications of that, especially if there is some counterintelligence concern. we've heard that would have wen to jim clap either who would have notified the national security adviser or chief of staff. they would have been aware of this, because of the very concern of a breach of some sort of national security information that they were investigating. >> >>. >> bob, i know you say this is an extraordinary event. the fact that they were investigating, does t

general mcchrystal from the time he was appointed to the head of the forces in afghanistan is from the very moment of his confirmation hearing, he and the white house are in this back and forth and it is actually long before "rolling stone" story for him and his aides to backlash, but it is having deadly consequences for the men at the bottom of the hill. >> and it must be a huge distraction for them, because my brother is fighting over there, and it is a total distraction, isn't it? >> yes, it is. with the petraeus story breaking, we had a book launch on saturday night, and a lot of the troops in the book came, and a lot of the gold star moms and gold star wives, and when petraeus was mentioned, it was an incredulousness, and these men served in an area of the village where they would not see women for months. >> and there was the boss having an affair. >> yes, and it was so bad that they felt that women do not exist anymore and there was a female helicopter who would buzz over them, and they would all run over, because they wanted to hear her voice, because they were convinced that s

she has spent a year in afghanistan with petraeus. here is a picture from their website. right now the cia is investigating a tip that she is the other woman. she is the woman named in that fbi tape. petraeus has not admitted an affair directly with her. but he said, yesterday afternoon, i went to the white house and asked the president to be allowed, for personal reasons, to resign from my position as d/cia. after being married for over 37 years, i showed extreme poorly judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours. this afternoon, the president graciously accepted my resignation. author of "the secrets of the fbi," and suzanne kelly. let's start with suzanne kelly. this is a massive blow, really, to everybody in the white house, to general petraeus, to his wife and to the country. the country has lost one of its great military men in scandalous circumstances. >> you know, piers, that's absolutely right. the first shock was he admitted to having an affair. this is someone

troops in iraq and afghanistan. now he is a man who resigned after cheating on his wife, joining the ranks of many men that have fallen from grace. lisa sylvester is covering this for us. we have seen this many times. >> that's right. there are certain powerful traits they have, charisma, leadership skills, decisiveness, risk taking. experts say the same elements of their personality may also lead them astray. >> i did not have sexual relations with that woman. >> i have acted in a way that violates my obligations to my family and that violates my or any sense of right and wrong. >> you didn't send that photo to that woman in washington state? >> i did not send it to that woman. >> they have power, fame and have betrayed their families. men that marred their stellar careers and suffered the consequences. former general petraeus, head of the cia, is the latest to get caught, stepping down after admitting to an affair. but why in the world do men with so much to lose risk it all? helen fisher is author of the book "an

wants a longer presence in afghanistan. but the bigger point here is that foreign policy right now, it's hard for the two sides to stake out different positions because there's so much overlap. kagan praises obama in a lot of ways. he liked the libyan intervention, he likes his nonproliferation regime. and so i think that's true of a lot of military and foreign policy analysts will say thats's kind of hard to get a clean shot against obama and i think you see that partisan politics force romney to kind of trump up the case a little bit or so the white house would have you say and they would point to kagan and say that's where the truth is. >> and president's national security adviser has publicly praised this book and the president has said nice things about it, as well. >> the president has said it in private meetings. tom donlan has said it in public. romney campaign was aware of the political purposes that his essay was being put to use for. so it's been duly acknowledged. kagan says don't consult the military too deeply

petraeus is a highly respected, four-star general who commanded forces in both iraq and afghanistan. he was sworn in to run the cia a little over a year ago with vice president biden with his wife holly at his side. that was the swearing in. they've been married 35 years, have two grown kids. so how will this revelation impact the committee? member of the cia's external advisory committee, and also cnn's officer, and intelligence correspondent. susan, let's start with you. what can you tell us about this probe with paula broadwell. what would the fbi have been looking for, and do we know how long this was going on for? >> we don't know how long it was going on, but just the -- so they're the ones that would look into classification, they look into hold clearances. are they doing what they need to be doing to make sure that information stays safe. is there any opportunity that that information could be exploited by either a spy or anyone else who shouldn't have access to that information. so the fact they were the ones looking into this tells us they were concerned about some e-mail t

afghanistan, you were on a congressional delegation that went to afghanistan. one of the members, dana rohrabacher, the congressman from california. he was here in ""the situation room" this week. he was prevented from going to afghanistan, a country that receives millions of dollars in u.s. assistance and hamid karzai, not to let a democratic elected member of the united states congress not to enter his country. >> it was preposterous especially when he receives $len billion out of something like $12 billion. >> he didn't meet with you when you were there, hamid karzai. >> he did not upon. >> was that a snub? >> i don't and that -- lou was the one in charge of the delegation. he was in charge of the delegation and we had a mission. we had a threefold mission, to visit our constituents and soldiers on the ground and to assess the situation on the ground in afghanistan and third to meet with the northern alliance. it was unfortunate what karzai did. >> by not allowing dana rohrabacher in. >> by not allowing him? >> what was your reaction when you heard secretary

humiliate his wife any further, cause any further embarrassment to his grown children, one who is an afghanistan veteran. this, i think, is classic petraeus trying to control what is going on around him. >> on november 25th, a writer for the daily beast website listing general petraeus' rules for life. number 5, we will all make mistakes. the key is to recognize them and admit them, to learn from them and take off the rearview mirrors, drive on and avoid making them again. quite extraordinary given that was just written a few days ago. thank you very much, indeed. a man who worked closely with general petraeus in iraq, mr. brenner talks about the shocking o >>> with each hour, we learn new details about the shocking affair that forced david petraeus to resign as cia director. he was on the ground the same time as the former ambassador was ambassador of iraq, and the ambassador joins me now. nice to see you, ambassador. >> nice to be with you. >> are you shocked by these revelations today? >> of course, i am. it's a sad day particularly for mrs. petraeus and for their children and for the men and

. >> meanwhile, the top general in afghanistan allegedly caught red-handed exchanging flirtatious e-mails of his own with jill kelley. plus the debut of my new cnn colleague, the culinary superstar who will dine on anything, anthony bourdain is here. joining me is barbara starr and intelligence correspondent, suzanne kelly. welcome back to you both. every night i say right off the top, can any of us get our heads round this and how much more ridiculous can it get, and lo and behold, it gets more ridiculous. barbara starr, let's try and get to what we believe to be the facts behind all the kind of lurid, titillating headlines. a second general today, petraeus' successor in afghanistan, general john allen, a marine corps four star general, current nominee to be the new nato supreme allied commander, so a very big fish indeed in the military. he is apparently at the center of a scandal involving 30,000 documents, all pages or e-mails or whatever that he exchanged with this second woman, the other other woman, jill kelley. what do we know about the content of this? because it's not as simple

anderson, keep in mind, these guys getting training in combat zones, only place they can get it iraq, afghanistan, pakistan, it doesn't matter. they need to pass through the crucible of combat. they get very good. learn how to lay mortars, learn how to fire rocket propelled grenades and ambush an embassy. they are getting better and better all the time. with intelligence community' problem, they are also wary of our collection efforts. we're seeing a tougher enemy after ten years, after 9/11. these guys are good. >> susan kelly, appreciate, bob bair, fran townsend. few in the senate have followed this story more closely than john mccain. i spoke to him earlier today. cnn is reporting there were about 12 suspects with ties to al qaeda involved in this attack, have you heard anything more about this that you can tell us? >> well, the thing i think that is interesting news today, e-mails were going back to the state department and being distributed throughout the upper levels of government, in this attack was taking place and it was probably by al qaeda. and so again, that brings into question, what

commander in afghanistan. general john allen and the manner has been referred to the defense department inspector general. that official said the department is reviewing tens of thousands of e-mails and that inappropriate behavior with general seth the air force base for she did volunteer work for the story gets stranger and there is no denying david petraeus had all. a seat at the top of u.s. intelligence and a long marriage to the father two children, now adults. why did he put all that on the line by having an extramarital affair? only he can answer that question. history will forever note he was forced from power by his behavior and in that respect he is not a long. here is marcus' average. >> reporter: politics and sex scandals are nothing new. they date back to our country's beginning. >> if we wanted to see what our founding fathers behavior was like in philadelphia in 1776, we may not like all the answers. loss >> reporter: more recently, president john f. kennedy's affairs were notorious. lyndon johns

frankly it ticks me off personally because we in montana have the highest sign-up in the wars in afghanistan and in iraq per capita. we're patriotic and a lot of the men and women that come home, they're disabled and wounded. it makes me angry, frankly that some outfit wants to take advantage of gullible people. for their own personal benefit at the expense of veterans. >> it makes it harder for reputable organizations that want to help, makes it harder for them to raise money. takes money away from them. i appreciate you being on this and we'll continue to follow your efforts and drew griffin as well. >> anderson, thank you for your good work because you spotlighted this. good work. >> well, drew griffin has done it all. i appreciate it. thank you. >> you bet. >> drew and david fitzpatrick, the producer. we talked about drew's many unsuccessful attempts to get the dvnf president precilla wilkewitz to talk about the charity she runs. this evening, the group sent this statement that reads in part, the disabled veterans national foundation has helps tens of thousands of veterans with aid and s

she also traveled to afghanistan with him. and an adviser who observed them together in afghanistan says, some petraeus staffers couldn't understand why she got such unprecedented access to the general. in fact, some of these military staffers who had worked with petraeus for years just could not come to grips with the fact that he was spending so much time with broadwell. they also complained that she dressed inappropriately on occasion, wearing tight skirts and other things that might be inappropriate. but the adviser i spoke with who saw both of them in afghanistan says a lot of this was pure jealousy, that paula broadwell was not the only woman there in afghanistan at isaf headquarters who dressed the way she did. she did not stand out in that regard, in his opinion. he also says some of the time together was cultivated by petraeus and that's how you got to know him. he said, when i went to afghanistan, i asked people, how do i get petraeus to trust me, to get into that inner circle? they all told me, you've got to go runn

he's asking his people to move to remote parts of afghanistan. and his 20-year-old son living in pakistan's tribal regions, he's urging him to move to gutter. it is the richest country in the world per capita. >> he wants him to move there for his safety. >> yeah. the drones are having a huge impact. so they were very conscious eternally. but the drones were causing them problems. bin laden was aware that the brand was tarnished. he urged not to use al qaeda name because it would be bad for funding. if you take the picture from the documents are i was able to look at from the compound, it's an organization in great disarray. they understood it themselves. >> you actually got access to this compound. there was still blood on the ceiling, right? >> yeah. i looked up in the third floor bedroom and i thought this would be like going to hit this bunker. instead it was like visiting somebody's not very nice suburban compound. and you can see where the navy s.e.a.l.s shot bin laden in the face. and there was patterns of blood on the ceiling. it was pret

the soviets saw it in afghanistan, the british saw it in afghanistan as they were drawing down. we should have been anticipating this, it is psychological on the part of the taliban to kill coalition forces, and they're doing that. the question is how do we shift or adapt our strategy to recognize these circumstances? >> listen to the general, john allen, i assume you know him. the top military commander in afghanistan. this is what he said back in march. >> well, green on blue? well, we also call the insider threat, we're going to continue closely to partner with the afghan people, we have done that significantly in the last several months. the afghans themselves, who also suffer from what is called "green on green." they have taken a lot of steps themselves with the eight-step vetting process. so i think what they're doing for themselves, what we're doing ourselves to partner, and reduce this tragedy to the maximum extent possible. >> go ahead, and respond to the fellow general. >> well, he is making a lot of good points. the issue is that this -- the casualties that are being

their own son served in southern afghanistan in some of the roughest neighborhoods of the war. holly petraeus knows what military wives and military families go through during these separations. this is something she has seen over the years. very difficult situation, really hard to explain. he was always the four-star general even while he was cia director. perhaps as so many four-star generals in the past became a bit isolated, a bit too much surrounded by close confidants, maybe didn't see the big picture or the stress he might have been under perhaps. >> perhaps. gloria, you know a lot of folks are immediately talking about the timing of this resignation. >> right. >> coming just a few days after the president was re-elected. coming just on the eve of major hearings involving the benghazi. >> right. >> -- the failed operation over there. what are you hearing? >> that's the one question senator finestein had. she says i don't understand the timing of this. she pointed out, yes, there are hearings coming up next week. she does -- there are questions about that. what she did sa

president karzai, the president of afghanistan, drew attention to the film mocking the prophet muhammad many days before he made any mention of the fact publicly that he was sorry to see american diplomats being killed in libya. so even mainstream muslim leaders are sort of, i think, adding to the furor that's going on. >> as you know, peter, the u.s. embassy in islamabad, pakistan, have released these psas, public service announcements, with statements from both president obama, secretary of state hillary clinton, condemning that anti-muslim video. do you think stuff like that really has an impact on the streets of the arab and muslim world? >> reporter: i don't know. but the worst it can be, it doesn't hurt. the fact that they're in the most widely spoken language in pakistan, the fact that they're saying, the u.s. government is not behind this film, i think that's a very good message. at the end of the day, the president and his top advisers are responsible in particular for the safety of people working in our overseas facilities. and if these kinds of messages make it less likely th
