BAIER: Trey, Congressman Mike Waltz from Florida, a Green Beret, in Congress made a good point in Lucas's piece earlier about the Afghanistan military bases there being on the southern flank of Russia and the eastern flank of Iran, and they won't be there in case those places are in need or we need to respond to something in one of those countries.
TREY GOWDY, FORMER SOUTH CAROLINA REPRESENTATIVE: Yes, Bret. Look, reasonable minds differ on this. It's a complicated issue. But Bret, it's been a long war, but, unfortunately the war is not over. I get that there are people who are tired of fighting it, but it is not over, and it won't be over in our lifetime. I can tell you having served on the Intelligence Committee, I have no doubt that the United States will be able to gather intelligence even if we withdraw. But I do have doubts on whether or not we will be able to act on it. You know, the general referred to an over the horizon force. That's great, but it's not as good as an around the corner force. I think we are going to be drug back in to conflict. The question is, how quick can we get there?
BAIER: Yeah, we did the story yesterday, Katie, Jennifer Griffin, did about Afghan interpreters who had been working with U.S. troops on the ground, almost 17,000 of them. Today following up on that, a question to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, take a listen.
GEN. MARK MILLEY, CHAIRMAN, JOINT CHIEFS: Interpreters and others that have worked closely with the U.S. government, the intent within State Department and elite is to make sure that it's really a moral imperative that we take care of those that have worked closely with us if their lives are in danger, et cetera. But I would also caution folks on some speculation here. It's a bit early what the outcome is going to be.
BAIER: Yes, and this is to bring them to the U.S. or get them out of Afghanistan, but they are going to wait and see how the Afghan forces do.
