I want them to have a great country.
Can't have a nuclear weapon.
Very simple.
And I would have had that deal done within a week after the election, but the election was a disgrace to our country, another disgrace.
But with Afghanistan, you had to get out, but we were gonna get out with dignity and strength.
We were gonna take our people out, our Americans out.
We have people living there, as you said, better than anybody could say it.
When you said raping the wives, raping the people,

But can you imagine?
We didn't take them out.
The military ran out first.
It's almost like they ran.
We didn't remember this.
We didn't have one problem for 18 months with them.
And the Taliban's rough.
They're good fighters.
They're ancient fighters in a way, their equipment and everything else, but they're very good fighters.
But we had no problems.
And then when this happened, and when I was out, they heard that the military was gone.
