Richard Lugar

Today the committee again meets to examine the challenges in Afghanistan. Despite many successes on the ground, the prospect that we could fail in Afghanistan is still very real. Congress and the administration must soberly assess the state of political and economic reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan and devise adjustments to the current plan where necessary.

Richard Lugar

The same sources of conflict and instability that allowed the Taliban to seize power and fueled the growth of Al Qaeda's terrorist network continue to threaten the future of Afghanistan. Conflicts among heavily-armed militias controlled by warlords, pervasive poverty, systemic corruption, and an increasingly entrenched narco-economy threaten to undermine reconstruction activities. Despite coalition efforts to establish security, disarm the warlords and strengthen the central government of President Karzai, the situation sometimes appears to be getting worse, not better.

Richard Lugar

Too little assistance to Afghanistan has been provided, and often it has come too late to address the daunting needs of that country. The lack of security and continuing attacks on aid workers, particularly in southern Afghanistan, have delayed or prevented aid deliveries. In 2003, Congress appropriated funding to speed up the training of Afghan security forces, including the Afghan National Army, police, and border guards. The security force has increased to about 20,000 Afghanis, but this is a fraction of what is needed across the country.

Many of the same warlords who helped the coalition oust the Taliban are fighting each other, instilling fear in the population, and frustrating rebuilding efforts. These warlords control vast regions of Afghanistan. Reports by the UN Special Representative for Afghanistan, Jean Arnault, indicate that efforts to disarm the clashing Afghan militia factions have barely begun.

NATO decided last December to expand the International Security Assistance Force, ISAF, outside of Kabul, but the number of NATO forces has increased only from about 5,000 to 6,500. NATO allies promised to provide increased equipment and personnel support, but thus far the NATO effort has been tentative and incremental. Given the extreme challenges in Afghanistan, NATO must step forward with a much bolder commitment.

The Provincial Reconstruction Teams, the PRTs, units that concentrate military and civilian capabilities in critical locations, have been successful in establishing islands of security. The intended purpose of the 13 PRTs is to jump-start reconstruction outside Kabul. But this relative success has been hampered by a lack of resources, equipment, common doctrine, coordination, and training. Without a substantial expansion of resources and commitment, the PRTs will not succeed as a platform for reconstruction.

The failure of efforts to stem poppy production and provide alternative sources of income undermines every aspect of reconstruction in Afghanistan. The warlords are financing themselves through the illegal opium trade, valued at close to $2.3 billion last year. If this estimate is accurate, it would account for more than 50 percent of Afghanistan's gross domestic product. This drug trade also is funding resurgent Taliban units, Al Qaeda, and other criminal and terrorist elements.

As we tackle these security problems, the administration and the Congress must ensure that prisoners of war in Afghanistan are not being abused and that vigorous investigations occur into any wrongdoing. The revelations about prisoner abuse in Iraq have repulsed Americans and hurt our reputation in the international community. We need to establish absolute accountability and stay true to our principles and values without reducing our efforts to overcome terrorism.

The President and Congress have made clear our long-term commitment to a free and stable Afghanistan. Last fall, Congress strongly supported more resources in the Emergency Supplemental, bringing U.S. aid to Afghanistan to $3.7 billion since 2001. Our hope was that security enhancements and other improvements would lead to successful elections, now scheduled for next September. The UN has reported that nearly 2 million of the 10 million eligible Afghanis have been registered to vote thus far. Of those already registered, an estimated 29 percent are women. As September approaches, we must either register voters far more efficiently or develop alternatives to traditional registration that will allow elections to proceed.

This year's budget request includes $1.2 billion for Afghanistan. The administration recently announced it will seek an additional $25 billion contingency fund for Iraq and Afghanistan. Congress must carefully review these requests, assess how these funds are to be used, and ensure that they are managed properly.

We have asked a distinguished panel of experts to testify today about the priorities and the prospects for redevelopment in Afghanistan. Which elements of the reconstruction effort are succeeding and which are failing? What adjustments can be made now to improve the prospects for long-term success?

Let me indicate that all of your prepared statements will be made a part of the record in full. We would ask, just for the sake of moving on in the hearing, that you either give your statement or summarize in about 10 minutes or so. In the event that it moves it beyond that, the chair will be liberal, because the purpose is to hear you today, and to make certain that we encompass the ideas that you bring to us. Thank you for coming and would you please proceed, Doctor.

Thank you, Senator Lugar. I am pleased to mention that I'm an IU graduate, and I remember seeing you on campus when you were mayor of Indianapolis. So that puts both of us back quite a number of years, as you well know.

I am pleased to be able to come here, and I know the other panelists are as well because the issue of Afghanistan is still a very important one. I think in many ways, though it is often obfuscated by the news that we see daily coming from Iraq, it offers to the United States a greater opportunity for success and a greater opportunity for us to take the type of advantage we have been seeking in the Middle East with fewer challenges if we do it correctly. So thank you and the committee for having this hearing. I appreciate the fact that it is being done. It is good for U.S. interests. It is very important for Afghanistan.

In the nearly 30 years of war and instability which preceded the swearing-in of the Karzai government, nearly every element of Afghanistan's infrastructure, human and material, was significantly destroyed or displaced. Most of those services and resources upon which Afghans had come to rely in the years leading up to that tragic period are still not available to Afghans.

And yet, there can be no denying that many positive developments, some of which I observed in my most recent trip to Afghanistan a month ago, are also occurring. There are also many challenges, and I will try to address the primary ones of both the positive developments and the challenges.

The thing that stood out most to me was the fact that the population and commercial centers of Afghanistan are truly being resuscitated. The bazaars of Kabul, Kandahar, Herat, and Mazar-i-Sharif are well stocked with food, essential goods, and an amazing array of commodities. The people are in the streets in colorful clothing like they were in years past. They bargain for their purchases, shouting above the cacophony and gridlock created by the four-wheel vehicles of donor nations and organizations, the other means of transport drawn by humans and animals, and the ubiquitous music blaring from loudspeakers in the bazaars.

Most noticeable is the look of hope and anticipation in the eyes of a nation where none existed 3 years ago. There is a building and rebuilding boom in these centers, a demonstration of confidence that perhaps the long national nightmare of Afghanistan is coming to an end.

Education is one with which our Center for Afghanistan Studies is intimately involved, and we've been pleased to be involved with USAID and the Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs and the Afghan Ministry in a number of programs over the last couple of years. Right now, education is being pursued by Afghans with a vengeance. This follows, of course, nearly 30 years of little or no access. More Afghan school children today, over 4 million, are in school than at any other time in Afghan history. Education is the only national effort currently reaching into all the provinces and districts of Afghanistan.

I first went to Afghanistan 40 years ago as a Peace Corps volunteer. I lived there for 10 years, and I have been working since then at the Center for Afghanistan Studies, so I'm able to offer a perspective on education. I've never seen an interest in education in Afghanistan at the level that there is today.

The reconstruction of Afghanistan's ground transport infrastructure is improving access of Afghans to their government and regional commercial centers. Afghanistan's so- called "Ring Road" is being rebuilt. The Kabul-Kandahar corridor is reopened, reducing travel time from nearly 2 days to 5 hours. The Salang Tunnel through the Hindu Kush mountains is repaired and reopened, again reducing travel time from Kabul to the north from several days to 5 or 6 hours. Donors have been identified for each of the remaining sectors of this "Ring Road."

This road reconstruction also plays an important role in the improvement of Afghanistan's economy and its ability to play an integral role in the trade between South and Central Asian nations. When asked why Afghanistan is important to regional and U.S. interests, I always like to answer what real estate agents always recite in their mantra: "location, location, location!"

Astride the arteries of the Silk and Spice roads, Afghanistan is already profiting as a transit sector for commercial traffic between its neighbors in South and Central Asia and from Iran to South Asia as well. Should a natural gas pipeline be built from Turkmenistan to Pakistan, it will likely travel a route above the Herat-Kandahar sector of the "Ring Road." In essence, Afghanistan has begun the process of rejoining the world economy.

The economy of Afghanistan, according to a recent statement by U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad, grew by 29 percent in 2003. The traditional exports of Afghanistan, fruits, nuts, textiles and carpets, jewelry and precious stones, are once again being shipped abroad. In 2003, America bought over 14,000 square meters of handwoven carpets, 13 tons of dried and fresh fruit, and almost 600 tons of licorice root, an amazing kind of ad there.

Unlike Iraqis and many others in the Muslim world, Afghans have previous history with constitutional democratic process. During the decade under the Constitution of 1964, Afghans elected national officials and governments and turned them out with votes of no confidence. Afghans retain this democratic experiment, as it is often called, in their collective memory. Many believe that a democratic process is their legacy and their right.

After years of being a stateless nation, a system of governance is being rebuilt. In a series of efforts, beginning with the Bonn process in December 2001, Afghans have taken several steps towards reconstituting a national government. The constitution approved in January of this year is regarded by many observers as among the most progressive and enlightened in the Muslim world. It mandates a strong central government and presidency, with a two-house national assembly and independent judiciary. National presidential and parliamentary elections are scheduled for this September.

These positive developments have been obtained despite what most analysts characterized as a slow, distracted, and sometimes inept start on the part of U.S. and Coalition forces. The donor conference approach has proven to be disjointed, inconsistent, and largely unmanageable. Pledges are late in coming; some do not come at all. U.S. leadership in the process has often been solicitous rather than forthright. In the face of U.S. involvement in Iraq, Afghans have questioned whether the U.S. is committed, over the long haul, to reconstruction of their country.

A number of recent developments, however, have helped to assuage these concerns of Afghans. The first is the arrival of Zalmay Khalilzad as U.S. Ambassador. In my opinion, he is the best person for this job at this critical juncture. He knows most of the Afghans in national and regional leadership roles. He is considered credible and tough by those who share U.S. and Afghan aspirations for a stable Afghanistan. Needless to say, these favorable opinions are not shared by terrorists, warlords, and drug lords.

Khalilzad can speak to leaders and common citizens effectively. He is fluent in Dari and Pashto. He has good connections to the White House and with Congress. His relations with Hamid Karzai and other key Afghan leaders are constructive.

Another positive development centers around the growing number and effectiveness of the Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs) as you indicated earlier. Lieutenant General David Barno's vision for the PRT process is solid, anchored in community-based reconstruction. Members of the Center for Afghanistan Studies have observed particularly successful PRT efforts led by New Zealand forces in Bamiyan and British forces in Mazar-i-Sharif.

The new, imposing American embassy and adjoining residential and office buildings are nearing completion. They have gone up in a remarkably short time. Afghans note that the investment required to construct these buildings suggest the Americans are, indeed, in it for the long haul. This builds confidence.

The continuing security, political, and economic challenges to the reconstruction of Afghanistan remain formidable. The most critical is security. It negatively affects all other factors. The lack of security is perhaps the only factor that might ensure a return of a stateless society to Afghanistan.

The three primary security threats are terrorists, drug lords, and warlords. These are holdovers, sometimes protagonists, other times allies, from the period of protracted civil war in Afghanistan. Though routed out of their strongholds and camps after 9/11, replenished and reorganized elements of Al Qaeda and the Taliban remain at large and constitute a threat, both real and symbolic, to the overall reconstruction effort. They gain financial support from drug interests.

These elements threaten Afghan teachers, students, election workers, and other government workers, even shop owners and farmers. They threaten them with death or other bodily harm if they teach, go to school, register to vote or assist in the election process, or appear to side with the government. International assistance workers and military forces are also threatened; some have been killed. The continuing capacity of these terrorists to intimidate slows and even terminates certain reconstruction efforts.

Second, go after Osama bin Laden, Aiman Zawahiri, Mullah Muhammad Umar, and Gulbudeen Hikmatyar with a "deck-of-cards" intensity. They remain the real and symbolic leaders of the terrorist networks and organizations whose activities are the cause of the periodic alerts in the U.S. and around the world, not those adversaries in Iraq. The fact that they remain at large undermines the confidence in U.S. policy among Afghans, reduces the credibility of the Afghan government and international reconstruction efforts, and sends the wrong message to Afghan and Pakistani tribes in their respective border areas.

Afghan Vice President Hidayatullah Aminarsalah has suggested that instead of going after terrorists, warlords, and drug lords in sequential fashion, a concerted effort be made. His argument is that a sequential approach permits those sectors not targeted to aid those that are. His idea of following a more concerted approach against these threats I believe has merit.

The delivery of textbooks and teachers' kits is still flawed. Though millions of textbooks have been produced, many classrooms remain without books.

Vocational education is essential for the unemployed and the under-employed. The Afghan government has set a target to demilitarize 60,000 Afghan men from militia forces in the near term. What will they do for employment? They are not likely to go back to primary school, if they ever were in school, or to secondary schools. Many of them are illiterate. Vocational education in the basic construction and office management skills would attract large numbers. This need is severe. Currently, there are thousands of foreign workers in Afghanistan, primarily in Kabul and Kandahar, due to the lack of trained Afghans, taking places that many Afghans might occupy were they trained. For many, vocational literacy will also be essential.

Finally in this area, higher education, an area in which the U.S. was the leading donor prior to the Soviet invasion, remains neglected. Few laboratory resources remain at Kabul University. This sector within education is kind of a stepchild without the priority accorded the primary and secondary education sectors by the Afghan government and donor nations.

Health care is in even a worse state. Most Afghans do not have access to reliable health care. This is particularly critical for mothers and children. Afghan infant and maternal mortality rates are the highest and second highest in the world, respectively. There is no plan for comprehensive training of Afghans to take over their own medical health needs currently on the boards, primarily because Afghanistan's colleges of medicine, which were located at Kabul University and Nangrahar University, have not yet been reconstructed. The only type of education going on there is through lecture. There is no laboratory, no practical clinical experience. Most of Afghanistan's trained medical personnel left during the war years. So the situation in the medical profession and the medical treatment in Afghanistan still remains very woeful. Most of all of the medical attention that any Afghans get is delivered by international support and organizations.

Rural reconstruction lags far behind that of the reconstruction moving forward in the population centers, which I mentioned briefly earlier. This greatly enhances the power of warlords and handicaps the reach and influence of the central government. The crowding of Afghans into population centers, coupled with the inflationary presence of international organizations, leaves many Afghans without any real option. They cannot stay in the neglected rural areas and cannot afford to relocate in the centers where services are available. The men, in particular, are vulnerable to those who would employ them away from the process of reconstruction into the militias of warlords and the cultivation of poppies. Until the central government is able to provide the carrots and sticks that outnumber those of the warlords, the warlords are going to continue to be able to hold sway in their regions.

I would like to conclude with just a few comments about what I feel still remain the windows of opportunity for the United States to help the Afghans, and some of the assets that we have. I am certain the other members of the panel will focus on these particular comments that I have made in greater detail.

On balance, in spite of a slow and inconsistent start, the window of opportunity for all involved in the reconstruction of Afghanistan remains open. There are many factors which constitute significant assets in this.

One, a credible political process has been launched without the uncertainties that plague Iraq. The Afghan government is gaining capacity. It is true that its reach is often limited to Kabul and, tenuously, to other population centers. At the same time, it must be noted that almost all members of the government had little or no experience in the governance process before their current assignments. They literally had to learn on the job. There are legitimate complaints stimulated by evidence and rumors of corruption and incompetence. Yet, some in this new cadre of Afghan civil servants are learning well and have helped to restore a measure of credibility in the restoration of Afghan state.

The leadership of this government has been identified and confirmed by a national assembly. President Hamid Karzai, though not without detractors, and even implacable enemies among Afghans, is largely well-known and well-regarded and is popular. He understands and is a believer in human rights. He pursues consensus, perhaps to a fault. He learned this skill from his late father, a highly regarded tribal khan. His likely reelection in September should enhance stability and provide continuity to a delicate process.

Afghans are very clear about the way they feel about Americans. They want them in Afghanistan. They want American leadership and assistance in the reconstruction process. There are no armed insurrections in the towns and villages, no demonstrations. Afghans have never regarded Americans as their enemies. To the contrary, they appreciated our development assistance in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. They appreciated American support in their war against the Soviet Union and in the war, though belated, against terrorists. They now see us as their primary allies in the reconstruction of their country.

I have attached to my statement a copy of my favorite Dari poem, "Rose and Clay," which Afghans often use in describing to me how they feel about Americans. I am going to subject you to a reading of that because I always believe it is important to point out the cultural aspects of Afghan society, something that gets left behind when we talk about these issues and urgencies and emergencies in the country. One day at bath a piece of perfumed clay was passed to me from the hand of a friend. I asked the clay, are you musk or ambergris? because your delightful scent intoxicates me. It answered -- I am but a worthless piece of clay that has sat for a period with a rose. The perfection of that companion left its traces on me who remains that same piece of earth that I was. The whole world, especially the Muslim world, is watching what is going on in Afghanistan today. If we do not try to do Afghanistan on the cheap and in piecemeal fashion, we can work with the Afghans in this cooperative venture. We will acquit ourselves admirably in our own eyes, in the eyes of Afghans, and in the eyes of others around the world.

If we muddle through, we will probably still prevent Afghanistan from returning to its status as a haven for terrorist camps. It will cost us more, take a longer period, and not really gain the credit we would deserve by doing it right. We might also lose an already unstable Pakistan in the process.

Much effort has been expended. We have learned much in the process. Assets are available. The Afghans are allies. They are in place. We can do this right. The window is open. I think the choice is ours. I think we are on the right track. I hope we really go at this with all the resources that we are able to bring to bear in this effort.

Joe Biden

Just by way of explanation, I have been very involved as the author of the Violence Against Women Act years ago. There is a conference that was taking place downtown this morning that I had to -- not had to -- I was invited to attend, and it ran a little bit longer, and I apologize for my tardiness. But I am anxious to hear the rest of you.

First, the reconstruction and stabilization of Afghanistan is a vital national security imperative of the United States. We cannot permit this country to again become a haven for terrorists.

Second, the reconstruction of Afghanistan will require a very significant investment of American capital, both financial and diplomatic. We can't do this on the cheap.

Third, without bringing security to Afghanistan, nothing else is possible. Unless we are able establish stability and basic order throughout the country, any reconstruction will be built on a foundation of sand.

Three simple points. And it would be tough to dispute any of them. But, looking at the administration's performance since the fall of the Taliban, one has to wonder whether the White House has received the message.

On the issue of security, vast areas of Afghanistan are still disputed territory, with the resurgent Taliban launching attacks throughout the south and southeast. The movement is stronger now than it was two years ago.

Most of the rest of Afghanistan is only nominally under the control of the central government. Instead, it is brutal warlords who wield real power.

The Afghan Ministry of Defense has promised to disarm 40,000 of the nation?s 100,000 warlord militiamen by June 30. According to the UN, as of last week, the number who had been disarmed was exactly zero. [AP report, May 6]

The administration has put forward the idea of training the Afghan National Army to combat the warlord militias -- and someday this force will indeed be able to shoulder the burden. But today the ANA has an operational strength of just over 8,000 -- and few of these troops, if any, have the training or experience necessary for serious combat.

The warlord armies support themselves through the illicit profits of the drug trade. As several of our witnesses will describe in greater detail, this trade risks turning Afghanistan into a full-blown narco- state.

Under the administration's watch, Afghanistan has firmly entrenched itself as the world's number-one supplier of opium and heroin. The opium crop of 2003 was up 7 percent from the previous year, to a near- record 3600 tons. The crop for this year is expected to increase another six percent. The drug profits amount to $2.3 billion annually -- five times the entire budget of the Afghan government.

According to the assessment of the World Bank and other authorities, Afghan reconstruction will require at least $28 billion over the next 7 years. How do the commitments thus far add up?

What's more, the vast majority of this aid has gone for humanitarian relief, not for long-term reconstruction. Relief aid is necessary to stave off immediate disaster, but it is not the basis on which to build a stable nation.

Looking to the future, there seems to be little encouragement in sight. Total pledges from all sources, ever since 2001, add up to less than $10 billion, of which about one-third are American. And here the administration's lack of long-term vision is apparent.

In the current fiscal year, the administration proposes a marked increase in reconstruction funding -- to $2.2 billion, compared with a mere $900 million for the past two years combined. This would be encouraging if it were the beginning of a program -- but it seems, instead, to represent the end of the administration's stepped-up commitment.

The administration's request for fiscal year 2005 is barely half the rate for this year. [$1.2 billion, 54% of FY 04]. That is not the kind of sustained commitment that Afghanistan needs.

Mr. Chairman, I look forward to asking questions about Afghan policy to witnesses from the administration. I am concerned, too, that the prisoner abuse scandal we've been contending with in Iraq could also touch Afghanistan -- I very much hope the Administration will get all the facts out as quickly as possible and make clear what steps have been taken to prevent this from happening again. Mr. Chairman, I understand that you are planning to schedule a hearing, before the summer recess, at which we will be able to get answers on Afghanistan policy from top-ranking administration officials. I look forward to that hearing, because this issue is too important to be put off any longer.

Today's hearing, however, will be informative and valuable. Our privatewitnesses bring a varied range of experiences and perspective to the discussion, from security to narcotics to nation-building. Let me also welcome the first Afghan graduates from a journalist-training program established by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty at my urging, with the strong support of Congress. Your work will be vital to building a free and open society in Afghanistan.

The International Crisis Group is deeply concerned that the effort to assist Afghanistan in building democracy and rebuilding its shattered economy may fail. As you said in your opening statement, Mr. Chairman, it may fail because there has been a failure to recognize the magnitude of the threats that face Afghanistan, and we believe as well to direct sufficient political, military, and financial resources to overcome those threats. We also believe there have been several policy mistakes, a few of which have yet to be corrected.

This does not mean that we do not recognize positive progress that has been made from the Kandahar Road, to the constitution, to immunizing children, and to ridding the country of the Taliban repression.

The country's first and, therefore, most important transition election has yet to be held. The date already has been postponed from June to September. We believe that those elections must be fair, free, credible, and legitimate. Yet, registration is barely at 20 percent of eligible voters. The electoral law has not yet been decreed. A smattering of political parties has been registered. No one yet knows where the voting sites will be or who will protect them, and the decision of how the votes will be counted is still to be determined.

Opium, as you've noted, has been allowed to expand now to 28 of 34 provinces. Its cultivation, transformation into heroin, and trafficking across borders now accounts for $2.3 billion of a $4.5 billion to $5 billion economy. Afghanistan is in clear and present danger of descending from a narco-economy into a narco-state.

My colleague noted that Afghanistan has begun to reenter the world economy. With respect to drugs, it has reentered, fully. Warlords siphon off customs revenues that the central government needs badly to address its needs. They also increasingly use their drug-financed militias to intimidate and to challenge President Hamid Karzai.

As you noted, the central government barely has some 8,000 newly minted ANA soldiers who show up for roll call, barely another 10,000 new police, and it faces several times that number, solely in terms of the militia forces, that are responding to regional and local commanders. And the Taliban and Al Qaeda continue to pose a significant military threat to security, and it is very important, a significant political threat to the transition itself. Their attacks on the United Nations NGOs and Afghan government officials have nearly doubled over the past 4 months compared to last year. More NGO staff were killed in these first 4 months of the year than all of 2003.

When I stayed overnight in Gardez in November behind the barbed wire encampment of the UN, I was really stunned at the level of security that was viewed as necessary. It hit me a few days later as to why when a young UNHCR field worker was murdered in Ghazni.

Closing the security gap -- and I think you will hear that from all of us -- is absolutely crucial to the success of the transition in Afghanistan. In many ways, we believe that the extension and expansion of NATO/ISAF beyond Kabul is the linchpin to greater progress on many of these issues, with respect to peace, political transformation, relief, and reconstruction. ICG has been working in Afghanistan now since 2001, just prior to the Bonn conference. We have offices in Kabul and Islamabad, and our field-based people really allow us to try and understand the real-time dynamics of what is occurring.

Let me just mention, as you did at the outset, that we also are concerned about the issue of human rights and the issue about how prisoners are being dealt within the prisons; there is a New York Times story today. A month ago, though, Human Rights Watch put out a report that contained information detailing mistreatment of detainees. They raised questions about the different areas in the country, where prisoners are being held and who controlled them. Some of the same issues about control, the lack of the application of the Geneva Convention were raised in that report. I think it is an issue of concern because, obviously, it can undermine our role, our presence, and the values that we all believe are important to convey.

With respect to Al Qaeda and the Taliban, the recent Pakistani offensive, together with the U.S., in south Waziristan should not have been something so new. It should have been going on from the start. Taliban political leaders still appear to move with relative ease in many of the Pakistani cities. Pakistan has just announced an amnesty proposal for foreign fighters in that region, and that proposal also needs to be scrutinized very closely. With respect to Al Qaeda, it should be cut off and terminated.

The Taliban and other Islamic extremists are still recruiting in Pakistan's madrasas, and they are seeking through intimidation and violence to rebuild their power base in Afghanistan. So in terms of policy, there needs to be greater pressure on Pakistan to go after both Taliban political and military leadership on a continuing and unyielding basis, not just going after Al Qaeda.

Second -- and here I would agree with my colleague, Dr. Goutierre -- there has been a recent increase of U.S. forces as part of the coalition to some 15,500. That should not be reversed. If anything, it should be increased. Really, no significant reduction should be considered until the full task of security has been taken over by the new indigenous Afghan forces when they are prepared.

A year ago, Secretary Rumsfeld spoke of having U.S. troops leaving Afghanistan by June of this year. That was simply not realistic, and it sent the wrong signals. Achieving real security on the ground is the only way to pave the way for a successful exit strategy.

With respect to disarmament and demobilization, President Karzai emphasized at the time of the Berlin conference some 6 weeks ago, that the DDR program, which began last November, would produce a 40 percent reduction in militias and cantonment of 100 percent of their heavy weapons by the end of June. We are not even close to meeting that goal. As you heard -- you mentioned yourself -- the UN raised that issue last week and is very concerned.

The key policy change needed for the demobilization program to be effective is a shift in focus from disarming and demobilizing individual soldiers to the complete removal of militia units, including those still under the control of the minister of defense. Until that happens, the credibility of the entire program is in question.

There is something else that I would call to the committee's attention, which is the worrisome proposal to create a new paramilitary force called the Afghan Guard Force. They would operate in combat alongside U.S. Special Forces units. Partisan and poorly trained, coming from the militias -- to have the U.S. identified with those paramilitary forces is really a bad idea. They say it is a stopgap until ANA troops are produced in greater numbers. The answer is to increase the pay, increase the incentive structure, offer long-term career guarantees, and put more resources into developing trained Afghan National Army to do the job.

Another part of the answer is to rapidly obtain a major expansion of NATO/ISAF. I know that this committee has supported that, and I know that you, Mr. Chairman, and Senator Biden have spoken out for it. Unfortunately, even after the agreement by NATO last October to expand those forces, as you said, barely 1,500 additional troops have been added, nothing like the three battalions that have been requested to be deployed across northern Afghanistan. NATO/ISAF has chapter VII authority and could provide the mailed fist behind the demobilization program, help prevent local conflicts, and ensure greater confidence in the election process. We need to double or triple the size of NATO/ISAF.

Just a few weeks ago, the Deputy Commander of the Canadian Army who used to be the Deputy Commander of NATO/ISAF spoke specifically to that. They need at least to double, another 5,000 and probably an additional 10,000, and spread around the country, including the PRT in every province, but the additional forces should focus on security. We would urge you to urge your North Atlantic Assembly colleagues at the North Atlantic Assembly at the end of this month to pressure their governments to make commitments at the Istanbul Summit that would permit this to take place in time to have the ability to put a security mantel out there for the elections.

Let me talk briefly about drugs. Last year 1.7 million people, about 260,000 farm families, were engaged in producing 3,600 metric tons of opium, three-quarters of the world's illicit production. There was a recent survey of farmers' intentions and there's an expectation now, as a result of that survey, that the farmers are going to increase their production of opium this year. We are now in the beginning of the harvest. It is likely that we are going to find that it is going to go well over the 4,000 mark in terms of tons produced, and it probably will reach the largest ever amount of hectares under cultivation. In 1999, 91,000 hectares were under cultivation; it will probably go well over 100,000 this year.

It is important to understand that this is directly linked to the warlords. The local commanders are among the ones, as in Colombia, in terms of illegally armed groups -- they provide protection for the drug traffickers. They tax their produce. Sometimes they help with transportation, and if Colombia is any example, in a very short time, they will begin acquiring the land, forcing farmers off the land. They will combat each other for the routes, and they will become the drug traffickers.

The response we all know has to be law enforcement, alternative development, and political leadership. Within the enforcement category, there is an argument now about eradication between the British and the United States. I can go into that later, but essentially right now we think the focus on law enforcement has to be interdiction on the roads and on the border and the destruction of laboratories and warehouses to go after not the small farmer but the traffickers and the warlords who are running the trade. We happen to be in the best position because we have more international forces in Afghanistan that anyone could ever imagine in a similar situation.

First, the rules of engagement and mission of the expanded NATO/ISAF have to clearly state that one of their missions is counter-narcotics and helping the Afghan government destroy that network.

The second is that the United States, DOD, and our other coalition forces also have to amend their rules of engagement to include counter-narcotics within their mandate. They have shifted now from a "don't look/don't tell" stance with respect to drugs that they find, to one where, if they run across them, they will destroy them when they find them. But that is really not good enough. Actively disrupting and destroying the opium network should be within their mandate.

With respect to elections that are upcoming -- supposedly in September -- I know the bells, and so I will close quickly by just simply saying that with respect to elections, there are many things that need to be done. It is not clear it is going to happen. They need to be credible first rather than held without the level of security and the level of participation that are needed. There are things that can be done we believe.

Finally, with respect to reconstruction, I will simply say that we have not put sufficient resources into Afghanistan. The international community now is putting about one-fourth the level per capita that it did in Bosnia and East Timor and El Salvador. We need to do better. And I would urge the committee in that regard to authorize a full 7-year commitment that matches the needs assessment defined in the recent Berlin conference in terms of external support from the United States that would provide somewhere between 25 and 40 percent of the external aid required, which would replicate, generally, what we have done in other situations. I would urge the committee to consider doing that. It would be the best way to attract others as well to make the same kind of commitment.

Finally, Mr. Chairman, I will simply say that making that kind of commitment and helping Afghanistan complete its transition is the most cost effective way of avoiding a recurrence of the conflicts that have virtually destroyed the country and whose consequences have reached out to cause enormous suffering in our own country and elsewhere.

Note

[The prepared statement of Mr. Schneider follows:] Prepared Statement of Mark L. Schneider, Sr. I want to thank Chairman Lugar and the ranking member, Senator Biden, for holding this hearing on the continuing challenges facing the Afghan people, the United States and the international community in Afghanistan. The Taliban regime was repressive and a willing ally of al-Qaeda in its terrorist endeavors. The allied effort to removing the Taliban reflected an international consensus, backed by UN authorization, to defeat and destroy al-Qaeda and to assist Afghanistan in building democracy and rebuilding its shattered economy.

This effort may fail. It will not fail because of a lack of desire, a lack of commitment by millions of Afghans, or a lack of bravery and determination among U.S., British and other coalition soldiers, diplomats, development professionals and relief workers. Instead, it may fail because the administration has been unwilling to recognize the magnitude of the threats which we face and to direct sufficient political, military and financial resources to overcome them. In Kabul, Kandahar and Gardez, bombs and mines have not disappeared, and killings take place on a regular basis. Afghanistan remains second to last in the world in the human development rankings of UNDP. Warlords continue to siphon off customs revenues that should go to the national government, and nearly half of Afghanistan's $4.5 billion economy comes from drug trafficking. There still are more than 2 million Afghan refugees in neighboring countries and some 300,000 internally displaced persons within Afghanistan.

The International Crisis Group has been working in Afghanistan since 2001, just prior to the Bonn Conference. Our offices in Kabul and Islamabad allow us to conduct intensive field research in developing our analysis and recommendations. When I drove with our team from Kabul to Gardez last November and visited local Afghan offices, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and a U.S. Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT), I saw the sacrifice and courage that they all were making. It was even more poignantly conveyed to me again a few days later when a young French field officer for UNHCR in Ghazni was killed. While I will touch on the major issues of security, elections, drugs and economic reconstruction, I want to be clear that expanding NATO/ISAF remains the lynchpin to greater progress on peace, political transformation, relief and reconstruction.

Security affects everything from elections to reconstruction, and it is vital to understand that this is not a post conflict situation -- an unrelenting battle continues in Afghanistan. The Taliban government and al-Qaeda bases were quickly dispatched by coalition forces barely two months after 9/11. That is the good news because it opened the window for fundamental change. But many of the Taliban and al-Qaeda simply took refuge across the border in Pakistan, and for many, many months, little pressure was placed on Pakistan to deny them sanctuary. Taliban political and military leadership moved with relative ease. The just announced Pakistani proposal to provide amnesty to foreign forces in South Waziristan, bordering on Afghanistan, presumably including al- Qaeda, in return for pledges of "good behavior," is particularly disturbing. The Taliban and other Islamic extremists are still recruiting and have built up their strength. If anything, the capacity of Taliban and al-Qaeda today to maintain a deadly insurgency across the south and southwest of the country appears to be increasing. Within Afghanistan, there has also been an unwillingness to take on the hard work of disarming and demobilizing regional warlords and militias, despite its crucial linkage to political stability and to controlling the drug trade.

Al-Qaeda and Taliban attacks on UN, NGOs and Afghan government officials have nearly doubled over the past four months compared to last year. More NGO staff were killed in these first four months than all of 2003. Two schools recently rebuilt with international aid were burned down in a village south of Kandahar and a senior Muslim cleric critical of the Taliban was assassinated in Kandahar city. And it is not limited to the south and southeast. Only last week, two British private security contractors and an Afghan elections worker were killed in the north eastern province of Nuristan.

A year ago, Secretary Rumsfeld spoke of having U.S. troops leaving Afghanistan by June of this year. There needs to be a clearer understanding that achieving real security on the ground is the only way to pave the way for a successful exit strategy. We were pleased to note that last month there was an increase of some 2,000 U.S. Marines, bringing U.S. forces up to 15,500. These troops need to be there -- and maybe even more troops need to be there until Afghan security forces are capable of defending the country against whatever remains of an armed al-Qaeda and Taliban military forces.

Getting the security services up and running has moved in fits and starts. The U.S. has bolstered the German-led coordinated training of Afghanistan police, with some 20,000 police slated to be trained, equipped and on the ground by the end of June, in time for the coming elections. UNAMA has estimated that between 29,000 to 38,000 police will be required for polling places. But the pressures to get more people through the training pipeline have resulted in shorter and shorter training sessions and more questions about vetting. More than one quarter of the 10,000 Afghan National Army (ANA) troops trained have disappeared, presumably deciding that either the risks or the money did not match the competing offers. There needs to be a re- thinking of strategy to ensure that this kind of attrition does not continue.

Disarmament and demobilization: The failure to disarm and demobilize individual warlords and factional militias has sharply undercut progress on a number of fronts. UN Special Representative Lakhtar Brahimi and his successor, Jean Arnault, have criticized sharply the weakness of the demobilization program. While some militias appear willing to identify their futures with a new national Afghan government; most have simply claimed land, resources and power and used their armed militias to maintain those claims. The militias continue to engage in bitter factional infighting, retain ties to organized crime and drug trafficking and have not been particularly helpful in combating terrorism.

President Karzai emphasized at the time of the Berlin conference six weeks ago that the demobilization program, which began last November with three pilot efforts, would produce a 40% reduction in the militias and cantonment of 100 per cent of their heavy weapons by the end of June. Not only has this effort not produced any results, since Berlin this accelerated phase of the Afghan New Beginning Programme has not even begun. The initial weapons turned in included a collector's treasure of 19th century Lee Enfield rifles and World War I artillery.

The demobilization program will not be effective until it shifts from a focus on disarming and demobilizing individual soldiers to the complete removal of militia units. Some 6,225 militia members have been demobilized thus far nationwide. The militia universe initially was claimed to be 100,000, but it is probably even lower than the 45,000 to 60,000 that international observers cite. The units that are presently based in Kabul, including at least three that are directly accountable to the Minister of Defense remain in place two and a half years after the Bonn Agreement called for their withdrawal. Unless they are decommissioned, the credibility of the demobilization process itself will be undermined. Worse, until the bulk of the militias are decommissioned, there is a grave risk that the coming elections will be determined by those who control the guns.

The Afghan Defense Ministry also recently adopted a Coalition plan to fold 2,000 members of existing militias into a new Afghan Guard Force (AGF). Without real training, but under Special Forces supervision, they would be operating in combat alongside U.S. Special Forces units in the east and southeast. This would essentially be a national paramilitary force, with enormously dangerous political implications. Its formation serves as a disincentive to the national disarmament and demobilization effort. The potential, as we have seen in country after country, of such a partisan and poorly trained force, for abuse of civilians, is enormous. To identify the U.S. with such forces seems particularly unwise.

NATO/ISAF One of the most effective forces in providing security in Kabul and in Konduz has been NATO/ISAF. Fortunately, the U.S. government removed its objection to the expansion of NATO/ISAF outside Kabul last August, a step widely called for. In October 2003, NATO and then the Security Council authorized that expansion, but to date, barely a few hundred more troops beyond the 5,000 previously authorized for Kabul are in place, far fewer than the three battalions requested to be deployed across northern Afghanistan. Nor has there been a great deal of movement toward the concept of a PRT in every province. At this point there are 13 on the ground, with only two operating under NATO authorship -- Konduz and Faizabad. The window is closing on the opportunity to create the security environment needed for elections and reconstruction. NATO/ISAF has chapter VII authority and could provide the potential mailed fist behind the demobilization program, help prevent local conflicts and back up legitimate local and national government decisions. It also could ensure greater confidence in the election process by deploying rapid reaction forces from forward bases.

NATO member countries have not responded adequately to the call. ICG has joined with other organizations including IRC, CARE and Mercy Corps, in appearing before the North Atlantic Council in an unusual effort to emphasize the strong link between NATO expansion and the entire reconstruction effort. Time is running out in Afghanistan. The frustration is building. A robust NATO/ISAF expansion beyond Kabul should take place immediately. The deputy commander of the Canadian Army and the former deputy ISAF commander, Gen. Andrew Leslie, said doubling NATO/ISAF forces nationwide to 10,000 or more is essential. The Istanbul NATO Summit really is the final opportunity for pledges to meet NATO/ISAF needs before for expansion before the proposed elections and then there has to be the earliest possible deployment. ICG also would hope that NATO parliamentary members of the North Atlantic Assembly would press their governments toward objective.

Last year in Afghanistan, according to the UN Office of Drugs and Crime, (UNODC), 1.7 million people were directly engaged in producing more than 3,600 metric tons of opium three quarters of the world's illicit opium production. In a UNODC survey, 69% of last year's poppy farmers stated that they intend to increase their production, and 43% of those who have not been growing will start cultivating in 2004. Afghanistan is in clear and present danger of descending from a narco- economy into a narco-state.

Local commanders, many in the areas controlled by President Karzai's allies, others by political opponents, are providing protection for the drug traffickers, taxing their produce, and sometimes helping with transportation. Opium poppy cultivation has expanded to 28 of the country's 32 provinces from a handful, and the illegal armed groups are financing themselves and seeking to use the political process to insure they keep those streams of financing flowing. If Colombia is any example, it will not be long before local commanders begin to acquire the land; combat each other for the routes and become the drug traffickers themselves. The good news is that President Karzai has been ahead of the curve in terms of knowing that his international colleagues were letting the drug market get out of hand.

While everyone now asserts that they recognize the seriousness of the drug trafficking threat to political stability, more needs to be done. The common elements of the international approach appear to be: Eradication, Law Enforcement -- including interdiction and destruction of laboratories, Alternative Development and political leadership. However, the UK and the U.S. disagree on eradication. The British, particularly in the prelude to elections, argue against forced eradication of a small impoverished farmer's crop when there is nothing to offer in return. Not surprisingly, they believe it will antagonize those farmers and make them far more likely to sympathize with opposition forces. The U.S. position is to move forward on eradication under any circumstances -- whether there is replacement income or not.

The compromise reached at a recent conference papers over the differences but does not resolve them. The British moving in Phase I, will fund governors who pay the ANA to go out and eradicate in Helmand, Kandahar and Nangarhar provinces where there are DFID and other externally financed alternative development projects. The U.S. has a centrally directed $40 million Phase II program in which a U.S. contractor finances an Afghan eradication force comprised of individuals chosen by the Ministry of Interior to actually pull out the poppy plants. It started Monday, according to the State Department, in one province. That eradication force will be protected by a U.S. contractor-financed private foreign security force. This again raises additional questions about who is responsible for security in Afghanistan and the standards which apply to a U.S. financed private military force.

The primary focus should be on a broad rural development strategy that provides rural credit to small farmers, alternative crops and alternative income generating opportunities, and investment in a community's schools, clinics and infrastructure. In addition, community elders and figures of authority, and after the September polls, elected representatives, should be enlisted to argue against planting opium poppies. At the same time, interdiction, by both Afghan and international security forces, on the roads and at the border is essential.

Three policy decisions are crucial to taking advantage of the unique presence of international troops: The rules of engagement and mission of NATO/ISAF need to state clearly that one of its missions is counternarcotics and helping Afghan government agencies to destroy the Afghan drug trafficking network. Coalition forces also must amend their rules of engagement to incorporate an offensive command to go after drug traffickers. While they have shifted from don't look, don't tell when encountering drug traffickers to being able to destroy what they find when pursing other objectives, it is not good enough. Actively disrupting and destroying the opium network should be within their mandate. Building an effective police and judicial system also has to be part of the counterdrug efforts as well. While the British are training an Afghan interdiction force, right now it will only be 200 strong. It needs to be expanded. Similarly the U.S. is working on producing more police fast and INL has $160 million to help train and equip those police over time. The judicial side of the house is moving even more slowly.

The forthcoming presidential and parliamentary elections are vital. Originally scheduled for June, they were postponed until September by President Karzai, and with good reason. Security conditions have impeded the registration process, and would not permit open campaigning by candidates. And there is a question whether citizens would be able to vote in confidence and safety. The fundamental question now is whether adequate conditions will exist to permit both elections to be held in September -- and it is ICG's view that every effort should be made to hold those elections together -- and not merely because of the cost savings involved. Having the assembly in session will permit the critical institutions of government to be in place. Without a legislative body, Afghanistan would begin its democratic life with a serious lack of accountability and challenges to the central government's legitimacy.

But even more questionable is the level of registration. Barely 20 percent of Afghan voters have been registered, 2,033,568, 30% of them women, out of an estimated 10.5 million Afghans eligible to vote. There are some 275 registration sites and plans to increase those to a number equal to the 2,600 sites where ultimately voting would take place. At this point, results of the registration drive are tilted toward the center of the country because it has been too dangerous to reach potential voters in the south and southeast. However, all of this should have taken place weeks ago. The delay will make it increasingly difficult for the 70% registration figure to be reached that was among the benchmarks cited as essential in holding a credible election. Finally, the contours of the electoral law are still in question, and there are serious concerns about the absence of a centrality for political parties in the law. The electoral law supposedly to be promulgated before the Berlin conference was still in debate this Monday within the Karzai cabinet. Political party registration, despite USAID and NDI efforts, has been slow. To date only five parties have been registered. There have been threats directed at the Justice Minister by some parties anxious to by-pass serious inquiry into whether they have armed forces. The process for nominating candidates has not yet defined nor the forms prepared, nor has agreement been reached on what procedures will be followed for counting the ballots, nor have security arrangements been finalized.

It is difficult to see how the September date can be met for the combination of presidential and parliamentary elections since the electoral law has not even been approved and some significant issues remain to be resolved. However, if elections are to be postponed, the reasons for yet another delay in transferring power to a truly representative government should be conveyed; a definite date announced for presidential and parliamentary polls; and all possible steps taken to ensure that there is no need for yet another postponement.

Afghanistan's reconstruction is a case of starting from zero. Few other countries are trying to build roads, schools, agriculture, and public infrastructure nearly from scratch after 23 years of war, a four year drought and a continuing insurgency. There has been a reasonable level of planning for the mid and long-term rather than the short-term alone. The World Bank, ADB, UNDP and others have engaged the government in a coherent strategy for development that has an initial, post humanitarian relief phase of seven years. During that period there is a $27.5 billion shortfall in financing. The international community took the first step toward meeting that request with commitments of some $7.2 billion at the Berlin conference. While most were not for the full seven years, there were a good number, including the U.S. that at least set out a multi-year pledge.

There are some significant steps to show progress already, from the first stage of the Kandahar-Kabul road being completed, to a nationwide polio immunization campaign, to irrigation projects. However these actions pale alongside the need and the willingness of the U.S., as well as other donors, to meet that need. Security also impedes the recovery process in a host of ways, most clearly by restricting access. A USAID official lamented the inability to visit the NGOs the U.S. is funding. To drive outside the city there would be a need for two extra escort teams "of protective shooters in the front and the same in the rear."

There also is a particular need for the focus to be on rural poverty and rapid evidence of the impact of those programs. For Afghanistan to succeed in reaching even the minimum levels of development that President Karzai has described -- achieving $500 per capital annual income in 10 years, the legitimate economy must grow at an annual rate of 9 percent. Alongside the growth of the private Afghan economy there will need to be a state whose institutions can alleviate the social deficit facing some four million vulnerable members of Afghan society, and provide an opportunity for broad active participation in national life by all of its diverse ethnic groups and by women.

Mark Schneider

For the international community, there must be at least a 10 year commitment at an even higher level of support than currently is the case. One of the strongest arguments for doing so is that it is the most cost effective way of avoiding a recurrence of the conflicts that have virtually destroyed the country and whose consequences reached out to cause enormous suffering in our own country and elsewhere.

Mr. Chairman, two-and-a-half years after the defeat of the Taliban, security remains the primary concern in Afghanistan. During 24 years of war, the rule of the gun long ago replaced the rule of law. Today Afghanistan faces a combined threat of resurgent terrorism, fractional conflict and dependence on narcotics.

In the south, U.S.-led coalition forces are engaged in a running fight with resurgent Taliban and Al Qaeda. In the north, warlords and militia commanders maintain private armies and engage in armed clashes over territory, border crossings, and transportation routes. They use intimidation and violence to control the local population, and they rely on narcotics trafficking and extortion to finance their operations.

The U.S. provided money to the northern warlords in 2001 and continues to work with them in the fight against Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Some of the most powerful warlords hold positions as provincial governors but ignore the central government and refuse to turn over tax revenue. Other warlords hold key positions in the central government. Mohammed Fahim, an ethnic Tajik leader with a strong northern power base, serves as the Vice President and the Defense Minister.

More than terrorists and warlords, however, the growing dependence on narcotics poses the greatest threat to Afghanistan's future. Since the fall of the Taliban, there has been an explosion in poppy cultivation, opium production, and narcotics trafficking. According to the annual report of the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime, opium production has spread from the traditional growing areas in the south of the country to 28 of the country's 32 provinces. Today Afghanistan is the world's largest producer of opium.

In 2003, Afghans earned $2.3 billion from opium production. This amount was equal to half the country's legitimate gross domestic product and five times the government's annual budget. According to the UN, the international trade in Afghan opiates generates a worldwide turnover of some $30 billion.

In Afghanistan, the narcotics problem is exacerbated by the fact that growers, brokers, and traffickers enjoy the protection of police chiefs, militia commanders, provincial governors, and even cabinet ministers. These officials use the proceeds from drugs to fund personal armies and to maintain their independence from the central government. Profits from narcotics trafficking also find their way through supporters to the Taliban and Al Qaeda that are used to finance local and international terrorism.

In a situation where there are few disincentives and no equally lucrative alternatives, the country's rural population has turned to opium production. Afghanistan's renowned orchards and vineyards were sown with land mines and withered during the conflict. In contrast, opium grows very well in barren and arid terrain.

Opium brokers and traffickers provide a kind of highly organized agricultural extension service. Farmers are provided with seed, fertilizer, advance payments, technical training, and an assured market for their product. Opium is easy to package, store, and transport, and it does not spoil. Growing poppies enables farmers to earn 10 times the amount that they would earn from other crops, and opium production is particularly attractive to returning refugees who find ready work and good pay helping farmers grow poppies.

With the assistance of the UN and Britain, the Afghan government has put in place the institutional framework to begin a counter-narcotics program. Afghanistan now has a Counter-Narcotics Directorate, a national drug control strategy, and a modern narcotics control law. The Karzai government, however, is incapable of implementing its own counter-narcotics program. Afghanistan does not have a national police force. There are some 50,000 men in Afghanistan who work as police, but they are generally untrained, ill-equipped, poorly paid, if paid, and loyal to warlords or local commanders.

International efforts to create a national police force, including the drug enforcement capacity, are just beginning. The U.S. is spending $110 million to provide training to 50,000 currently serving police. This training is taking place in Kabul and at seven regional training centers co-located with provincial reconstruction teams. The initial training is focused on basic skills and election security, however. It will take time before a newly trained police force can be counted on for effective law enforcement.

Germany, which is the lead donor nation for police training, has spent some $70 million on new equipment and rebuilt the police academy in Kabul. But under the German program, 1,500 new police officers and 1,000 non-commissioned officers are enrolled in a 5-year work/study program. The Germans are also working to create a 12,000-member border guard force. This effort is well intentioned, but the benefits are years in the future.

The UK, which is the lead donor nation for counter- narcotics programs, will spend $12 million over the next 3 years to create an anti-narcotics task force to conduct eradication. The UK has also promoted crop substitution and alternative livelihood programs for Afghan farmers, but again, the benefits are not going to be felt for some time.

Once trained, Afghan police will be ineffective, however, if there is no functioning criminal justice system to support them. Unfortunately, little has been done to aid courts and prisons. There is no master strategy or even consensus on priorities for judicial reform. Italy, the lead donor nation, has failed to promote cooperation among the relevant Afghan institutions. There is a critical shortage of trained personnel, buildings, equipment, and financial resources. International funding for judicial projects has been very limited.

There is also an ongoing debate within the country about which law to enforce and about what the role of religion should be in the legal process. The new constitution concentrates the power to appoint judges in the hands of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, but the current Chief Justice, a conservative cleric, has packed the court system with mullahs with no legal education.

In the critical area of corrections, jails and prisons, there has been almost no effort made. Prison conditions in Afghanistan are routinely described as inhumane, lacking adequate food, sanitation, trained personnel, and space. Outside of Kabul, warlords control detention facilities and conditions are even more deplorable.

International assistance for corrections has been severely limited. Other than a few NGO projects, the UN is working alone on jail and prison improvement. Currently the UN is spending only $2 million over 2 years on very basic renovation of a detention center in Kabul and three cellblocks of the infamous Pul-e-Charki prison. The UN is also providing some limited training to administrative staff.

The interrelated problems of terrorism, warlords, and narcotics are extremely serious, but many Afghans, particularly Afghans that we spoke with when we visited there, think the situation may still be reversible. Afghan farmers are reluctant to engage in illegal activities, especially those that are viewed as immoral by Islam. Any hopeful scenario, however, involves a race against time. The UN has warned that Afghanistan is in critical danger of becoming a narco-state and a haven for narco-terrorists.

To prevent this from happening, the United States should make counter-narcotics its top priority. Curtailing the narcotics trade will deny terrorists and warlords the funds they use to recruit followers and conduct operations. The U.S. is currently training four teams of Afghan police in crop eradication, but this and other law enforcement programs must be coupled with effective projects for creating alternative livelihoods and imaginative programs for crop substitution. Thanks to your leadership, Mr. Chairman, the United States now has the financial resources it needs. The emphasis must now be placed on vigorous implementation.

The U.S.-led coalition and the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) must now join in the fight against narcotics. Military forces must begin to proactively perform at least a limited number of counter-narcotics mission. These would include intelligence sharing, destruction of drug warehouses and heroin laboratories, and drug seizures. At present U.S. military forces only seize drugs if they encounter them in the course of their routine operations.

The U.S. must make good on Secretary Powell's recent statement that warlords have no place in Afghanistan and private armies must be disbanded. Warlords and militia commanders are a source of insecurity and a threat to the central government. U.S. military payments to what are called regional influentials conflict with our overall policy of promoting national unity. Stopping payments would correct the impression that many Afghans have, that the U.S. military condones the warlords' participation in the drug trade.

There must also be a vigorous effort to curtail corruption. We should assist the Afghan government to pay adequate salaries to police, judges, and prison personnel. It is impossible to have judicial reform when judges earn only $36 a month and policemen earn only $15 a month and then are not paid.

The U.S. should ensure that equal attention and resources are paid to police, the judicial system, and prisons. Emphasis on police training at the expense of the other parts of the justice triad will produce the kind of results that we saw in Haiti and in Iraq. Without effective courts and humane prisons, there can be no rule of law. As events in Iraq demonstrate, we cannot allow ourselves to ignore conditions and practices in Afghan detention facilities.

At this point, the U.S. should not be constrained by the lead donor nation approach and should do what is needed to provide training and technical assistance. The effort to promote burden sharing has not worked well and the U.S. can no longer wait for other donors to take effective action. The United States has both the most experience and the most at stake.

The missing ingredient in international assistance to Afghanistan has been leadership. The so-called "light footprint" approach has left the Afghans adrift. Afghans realize they need help. Afghans look to Americans for guidance. We need to move quickly, however, Mr. Chairman, before it is too late.

There have been a number of successes affecting Afghanistan in recent months, including the donor conference in Berlin. But new challenges to Afghanistan's security are emerging. These include the effects of the elections called for under the new constitution. The revival of often divisive politics inside Afghanistan has led to largely cross-border violence aimed at preventing electoral participation. Reconstruction has been limited in the south and east by the same violence. Narcotics cultivation and trafficking have been revived. Disarmament has stalled. The Afghan security situation is more difficult and complex than it was a few months ago.

To prevent a challenging situation becoming a deteriorating one, the United States and its international partners must shift their Afghanistan priorities. Long-term security commitments should match the aid commitments made at Berlin. These should include a sustained, enhanced U.S. presence, ideally matching ISAF expansion. But regardless of NATO actions, there is no substitute for the perceptions of commitment to both security and reconstruction created by deployed U.S. forces, especially in areas where the UN and NGOs have been deterred from operating.

An enhanced U.S. security commitment to south and east Afghanistan could take the form of a near-term surge deployment to secure the elections, attack Taliban and Al Qaeda remnants, build intelligence networks, and revive reconstruction. Military units committed to reconstruction can provide their own security while training Afghans to take over their tasks. A longer-term U.S. security commitment can take the form of expanding the successful provincial reconstruction teams.

Such an enhanced commitment needs to be reconciled with admittedly over-stretched U.S. capabilities in force structure and integrated with those forces already operating in Afghanistan. The commitment needs to be implemented in a way that at the grassroots level will enhance security rather than focus Afghan resentment.

The most important U.S. contribution to security in Afghanistan, however, is through engaging with regional countries. One of the functions of a long-term U.S. security commitment to Afghanistan is to show these countries that they are more likely to realize their own security goals by cooperating with the international community and Kabul. Since 2001, Pakistan has cooperated in anti-Taliban activities and anti-terrorist activities. Yet, the Taliban culture that exists in Pakistan provides support for terror and violence inside Afghanistan. U.S. engagement with Pakistan needs to encourage them both to crack down on the roots of violence in the Taliban culture and to improve their cooperation with Kabul.

Outside funding and support coming into Afghanistan, often through religious channels, is another security challenge. This can affect the upcoming elections, especially those for parliament. However, effective reconstruction must include an Islamic dimension amongst its objectives.

Assessing U.S. policy success in Afghanistan is more complex than simply counting troops deployed or dollars spent. We need to avoid the entanglement of Afghan politics. We must not treat the Afghan government as just another faction, but we must also avoid an embrace of them that will make them appear as a United States creation. We must not act as Kabul's enforcer, carrying out politically costly tasks.

Today our most important security contribution to Afghanistan is to prevent outside spoilers. We need more U.S. boots on the ground in the near term because of the election. We need to jump start reconstruction in the south and east and we need to address disarmament and narcotics issues. Together, these actions will demonstrate U.S. commitment to Afghans and regional countries alike.

The best hope for Afghanistan is the Afghans. If the United States and the international community can enable them to decide their own future and prevent outside spoilers, there is cause for guarded optimism about the future of Afghanistan.

There have been a number of successes in Afghanistan recent months. The new constitution has been generally accepted. Increased United States government efforts have resulted in $1.2 million Emergency Supplemental assistance programs under the "Accelerating Success in Afghanistan" strategy. The initial stages of the Kabul-Kandahar highway reconstruction have been completed. A new "South and Southeast Strategy" has provided resources to combat hostile activities and enhance lagging reconstruction. At the recent donor's conference in Berlin, the Afghan government presented a request for aid commitments based on what it had determined would be required to re-create a functioning national economy and saw those commitments, reflecting the priorities of Kabul rather than the donors, largely met.

The war against Taliban and Al Qaida needs to continue. The national security of the United States is served by defeating these forces in detail. Key leadership figures remain to be captured. While they present only a limited military challenge, their campaign of violence and terror is preventing reconstruction and political participation in areas in the south and east.

The national security of the United States is also served by effectively implementing our commitment to assist in the international community's efforts to rebuild Afghanistan, to prevent it ever again being a base of terrorism and extremism that threatens other countries. Afghanistan still has a need for humanitarian assistance and, increasingly, reconstruction throughout all the country. Such activities also contribute to security. They demonstrate to the Afghan grass roots that their lives are being made better. Functioning government outside Kabul and a viable national economy are both evolving slowly despite many setbacks.

Through its continuing commitment to Afghanistan, the United States can demonstrate that they can help a people that suffered from Taliban and Al Qaida oppression, terrorism, and warfare. In Afghanistan in 2001, the U.S. demonstrated the power of even a relative small part of its armed forces in helping their Afghan allies militarily defeat the Taliban and Al Qaida on the battlefield. In 2001, the world saw the jubilation of Afghans as the Taliban and Al Qaida were driven from Kabul, including the joyful re-openings of the long-shuttered movie theaters. Now the U.S. is faced with the opportunity to help bring about a third success, making possible the rebuilding of Afghanistan. I believe that the United States needs to do more to meet emerging challenges to this last -- and most critical -- of our national security goals in Afghanistan.

Conflict in Afghanistan tends to be about legitimacy. To win the current conflict, the government in Kabul needs to continue to increase its legitimacy, building on continued commitment to the Bonn process and the desire for peace of the vast majority of the Afghan people. I believe that the U.S. and the world community need to do more. Success in Afghanistan requires effective diplomatic activity to prevent outside forces from acting as spoilers, both a near-term surge and a long-term security commitment of troops on the ground, and more resources available for addressing emerging new challenges.

The military elements of U.S. policy in Afghanistan since 2001 have been, in many ways, the most successful. Yet the U.S. must use military force with care, avoid the pitfalls of resurgent Afghan politics and avoid involvement in implementing policies of the Kabul government that would make it appear an outside creation. In some cases, international security cooperation cannot serve as a substitute for U.S. action. Perception of a long-term U.S. security commitment is crucial.

Afghanistan's new challenges come from diverse sources. The requirement, under the new constitution, for presidential and parliamentary (both houses) elections has led to critical security concerns. It has presented a target for the forces that are using terror and violence against the Kabul government and its international supporters and so must be considered the most significant security threat in Afghanistan. The Taliban and Al Qaida are making a strong attempt to limit voter registration in a number of areas in the south and east of Afghanistan.

The upcoming presidential election itself marks the formal return of Afghan politics. The wars of 1978-2001 polarized Afghans, not only along the ethno-linguistic divisions but also those of economic interest, religious practice and philosophy, class and locality, and other complex factors. Recently, these tensions have undercut ambitious internationally-supported programs aimed at disarmament. A revival in narcotics cultivation and traffic presents an international threat and provide a source of funding for those opposed to the Kabul government.

With the benefit of hindsight, it is possible to identify many missed opportunities in Afghanistan since 2001. The prompt and skillful military action that enabled and empowered our Afghan allies to liberate their own country from the Taliban and Al Qaida was not matched by comparable decisive action, unity of command, and application of resources in other areas. Too often, opportunities to build on momentum were not taken. The U.S. now has enough experience and knowledge to learn from mistakes.

Yet I believe the bottom line is guardedly optimistic. Afghanistan is neither the former Yugoslavia nor Iraq. The Afghan people, resilient though destitute and war-weary, have demonstrated they are willing and able to deal with the deep and fundamental issues that divide them. The U.S. needs to give them the tools to make this possible and help stop those that aim, for their own ends, to blight Afghan hopes. What Should We Be Doing?

The current U.S. commitment to security, reconstruction and developmental aid to Afghan government is vital. The Afghan government has had an increasing role in decisions to allocate this aid, demonstrating competence and legitimacy both internationally -- as seen at the Berlin conference -- and domestically, where it allows the government to find sources of revenue outside of aid, build patronage and demonstrate its relevance.

The U.S. needs to support implementation in Afghanistan that will avoid what Ambassador Peter Thomsen has termed "the briar patch of Afghan politics." The United States must not treat the Afghan government as just another faction. Yet it must also avoid too close an embrace that will make that government appear as a creation of the U.S. Nor must the U.S. act as the Afghan government's "enforcer," implementing policies that Kabul lacks the political or military strength to carry out. The elections, the conflict with the Taliban and Al Qaida, disarmament, corruption, narcotics, human rights abuses, the lack of economic development and many other critical problems can block progress. These issues are now firmly enmeshed in Afghan politics. Afghans are increasingly accusing their political opponents of these (and other) problems and insisting that justice requires that foreign influence (or force) be used to put them (and their friends) into power.

What the U.S. should aim for as a priority of a strengthened commitment to Afghanistan is not implementing specific solutions devised by the Kabul government of the U.N., but rather to continue to enable and empower Afghans to work together, to build confidence is each other, and to identify steps that will lead to an emergence of a more mature political culture in a society that has been mobilized by war throughout the 1978-2001 period by using every possible claim and rationale to get Afghans to fight others, usually other Afghans.

It is vital that the U.S. not be seen as being politically manipulated in policy implementation in Afghanistan, especially with the elections likely to hold center stage for the immediate future. While the U.S. is rightly engaged primarily with the Kabul government, it also needs to engage with regional leaders (including some of those lumped together pejoratively as "warlords" by their political opponents) and, through mechanisms such as the PRTs and cooperation with NGOs, the grass roots.

The Afghan government will have in effect, to repeat the state- building process that took place in the generation before 1978 while avoiding the mistakes in that process that led directly to the tragic events that followed. It is a difficult task. There are many places in Afghanistan where nothing good came from Kabul in 1978-2001. Legitimacy and a presumption of competence and even-handedness must be rebuilt from less than zero in 2001.

Indeed, there are still many Afghans -- in and out of government and of many different political alignments -- that, like the post- revolutionary Bourbons, appear to have both learned nothing and forgotten nothing. Urban Kabulis with Pushtun roots want Dari-speaking rural Panjsheris disarmed and out of their city. Those that collaborated with the Soviets during the occupation or are returning from exile demand criminalization of the "jihadis" that fought the Soviet invaders and took part in the civil wars of 1992-2001; they, in turn, disparage the "washers of dogs and cats" returning from exile that, without their record of being able to get things done on the ground (made possible by their appropriation of income, patronage networks and their Kalashnikovs), have to rely on foreign support. All will try their best to secure U.S. support in the emerging world of Afghan politics. Regional Security Issues

The most important U.S. contribution to Afghanistan's security is through interaction with the regional actors. In 1992-2001, it was the willingness of those actors -- especially but not exclusively neighbors -- to back opposing sides in Afghanistan's civil wars that kept the conflicts going.

If the neighbors believe the U.S. security commitment to Afghanistan be a long-lasting one, they will be more likely to permanently turn away from their 1990s policies and seek to accommodate their security interests through cooperation with the internationally- recognized government in Kabul and not by backing Afghan regional military commanders to oppose it. If the neighbors believe the U.S. presence and interest in Afghanistan are transitory and that the U.S. is, despite its rhetoric, looking for an exit strategy, then they will hedge their bets in their relations with Afghanistan. U.S. long-term security commitments are going to be stronger than any coming from elsewhere in the international community, including NATO.

Effective U.S. interaction with Pakistan is most important thing we do for security in Afghanistan. Pakistan's involvement with Afghanistan has been, in recent decades, an order or magnitude greater than any other neighbor. The conflict currently going on in Afghanistan by Taliban and Al Qaida is a cross-border insurgency mounted from Pakistan. It is not a grass-roots insurgency by Afghans aggrieved at the slow rate of reconstruction or that members of other ethnic groups hold ministerial positions in Kabul. Even though the Taliban may have sympathy in some areas in Afghanistan on ethno-linguistic, local, or religious grounds, it they are no longer a viable political movement inside Afghanistan. However, in Pakistan, the "Taliban culture" remains, including a network of internationally linked fundamentalist groups, madrassas and Pakistani religious parties that support the conflict in Afghanistan.

Challenging this culture is politically costly for any Pakistani government. In the longer term, however, it is likely to prove critical not only for Afghanistan but for the future nature of state and civil society in Pakistan. Yet as long as the Taliban culture remains strong across the Durand line, achieving peace in Afghanistan will be problematic, regardless of how many resources are committed by the international community, including the U.S., to Afghanistan.

The current U.S. engagement has been met with increased Pakistani willingness to address the threat to achieving peace and security in Afghanistan that is coming from Pakistan. This was demonstrated in recent Pakistani military operations in South Waziristan. It has also been seen in President Musharref's address to parliament earlier this year and in a range of other actions dating back to his 14 January 2002 speech and before. Pakistani cooperation in arresting foreign terrorists has included a number of significant successes. These actions have been recognized by the recent U.S. designation of Pakistan as a major non-NATO ally.

Yet problems remain. Taliban leaders -- not limited to "moderates" -- live openly in Quetta. The Pakistani intelligence services and elements of the military have not turned away from the policies that brought Afghanistan to the disastrous situation of 2001. In recent weeks, statements of concern about Pakistani policies from U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan, Dr. Zalmay Khalilzad and the commander of Combined Forces Command, U.S. Lieutenant General David Barno, have been matched by statements from the Afghan government.

The upcoming Afghan election is vulnerable to a broad range of action by its opponents. While the Taliban and Al Qaida must be considered the most important threat, they are not the only one. Throughout Afghanistan, regional and local leaders -- who tend to perceive no viable alternative to themselves -- are likely to use all the power at their disposal, from the use of patronage to armed intimidation, to see that the elections do not overturn their power. However, in these cases, U.S. and international community interaction with these leaders are important to try and minimize their effect. The security situation is most important in those areas in the south and east where the threats to the election include terrorist violence. Nor is reducing participation to reduce legitimacy the only threat goal. Reports at the time of loya jirga delegate selection from the south have told of convoys of "voters" being trucked from Pakistan. Regional Security is Linked to Reconstruction

The importance of reconstruction aid is that it allows the U.S. to have an impact that will increase stability while not becoming hostage to Afghan politics. For example, gender issues are likely to remain politically polarizing for the immediate future. They may be used as a shorthand to rally opposition to the current government on a range of issues. Yet by backing programs that make Afghans lives better at the grass roots by rebuilding schools or microcredit schemes that put sewing machines in villages, the U.S. can hope to avoid its policies being perceived as contributing to the continued divisions and polarization that marks Afghan politics.

No one is likely to be against schools and sewing machines. If the Taliban and Al Qaida come with guns to burn them, they need to be detected and defeated. If mullahs -- supported with rupees from Pakistan's "Taliban culture" or from foreign radical Islam -- preach against them and demand the schools and sewing machines be burned, then there needs to be a countervailing support for traditional Afghan Islam, which has long demonstrated that piety can lead to resistance to fundamentalism and oppression.

It has been a long time since anyone has funded traditional Afghan religious practices and leaders, while those attacking them have enjoyed extensive foreign support. While this may be an uncomfortable issue for the U.S., it remains that a purely secular conception of reconstruction will be inadequate to deal with Afghanistan and the role of Islam in its politics and life. Reconstruction has to include not only government, infrastructure and economy, but Afghan Islam as well. If this is not an area where the U.S. is competent or comfortable in acting, then by all means let us engage with international partners to deal with this issue, as so long as they do not have their own agendas. If there is a vacuum in funding and support here, it will be filled by men from outside Afghanistan with evil ideas and suitcases full of dollars.

This is a necessary part of security making possible reconstruction -- blocking the outside spoilers. The religious element is more difficult than interacting with the regional players, for most of the action here involves sub-national actors and many of these have committed Afghan political allies. Addressing this problem in a way that will not be perceived as an attempt to criminalize opposition politics by the Kabul government is a challenge. Security Forces in Afghanistan

The national security interests of the United States in making Afghanistan secure are likely to mandate the presence of military forces there for at least the next five to ten years. Currently, there are three distinct foreign security forces in Afghanistan. In Kabul is the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), currently under NATO. There are the coalition forces taking part in the war on terror, often with the support of aircraft and assets based outside Afghanistan. U.S. and coalition provincial reconstruction teams (PRTs) (plus an ISAF German effort in Konduz) carry out high-value relief programs while being able to provide for their own security. They bring an outside presence and token of commitment to grass-roots Afghanistan.

ISAF expansion remains problematic despite the 2003 commitment to its expansion. While there are places in the north and west where such forces could be useful -- Herat, Konduz, areas of tension in the northwest -- they would best be employed in the south and east, to counter Taliban and Al Qaida terror and help make possible humanitarian aid and reconstruction. While NATO is making good current commitments and has offered to deploy an additional five PRTs in north Afghanistan (where there is largely not a security threat) lack of long-term security commitments to match the aid commitments made at Berlin earlier this year is disconcerting.

In reality, it has been difficult to sustain the force at its current level. While expansion of ISAF would be a good thing, it is hard to see how it could be carried out on a sustainable basis. NATO countries are finding that the Afghanistan commitment stretches their forces and funding even at current levels. They have cut back force structures and have other commitments. While expanding ISAF may be possible, before implementing it is necessary to recall that poorly trained, ill-equipped or ineffective troops are worse than no troops. One must be hesitant about any expansion that would bring in untrained or inexperienced units -- in terms of the current situation rather than conventional operations -- into Afghanistan.

Deployment of additional U.S. forces to southern and eastern Afghanistan could provide security, assist with reconstruction, and help the campaign against Taliban and Al Qaida. There is a need a short-term this-year surge deployment to deal with emerging problems such as making possible election security, the completion of high-value infrastructure reconstruction, narcotics eradication, and disarmament. Even if the troops do not carry out these missions themselves, their presence and military action against the threat will help make it possible for Afghans to carry out these actions.

The current force structure and resources overstretch by the U.S. (and any participating NATO or coalition members) means that deployment of such forces needs to be targeted to help provide security especially in areas where reconstruction efforts by the UN and NGOs being deterred by terrorism or, as in case of UN with election registration, have turned the program over to Afghans. In these areas, the U.S. and coalition presence is currently limited to those forces waging military operations against the Al Qaida and Taliban remnants and the PRTs.

While the PRTs have done good work (despite the hostility of some NGOs and skepticism of some of the local population), their actions have not been sufficient for average Afghans in this area to see how their life is better. The deployment of additional PRTs should be made alongside the surge deployment. The PRTs can remain as a part of a long-term commitment to Afghan security.

While ISAF expansion into areas in the south and east would be a good and important advance, NATO troops are not a substitute for U.S. troops in those areas of Afghanistan. Only U.S. troops are the "boots on the ground" that indicate superpower commitment and an effective willingness to support Afghanistan and the Kabul government against both Taliban and Al Qaida and the policies of regional players.

Deployments will also have to be done to skillfully minimize friction (and friendly fire incidents). More garrisons in the south and east -- unless integrated into an effective operational concept -- may only provide targets for Taliban and Al Qaida mortars and rockets. Many Afghans are anxious for an outside presence to assure security, but it needs to be implemented to avoid the streak of xenophobia that runs alongside the hospitality of Afghanistan.

An expanded U.S. security commitment should not be judged by troop end-strength but rather by effectiveness. It should include increased intelligence assets and be able to work with both grass roots Afghans and Kabul government forces to develop intelligence. It could include expanded PRTs; or units such as engineer battalions that could both initiate reconstruction programs and train Afghans -- ideally demobilized fighting men paid by aid money -- to take over their jobs.

While the U.S. military should look to make clear its security commitment to Afghanistan is a long-term one, in carrying out reconstruction tasks the goal should be to train and turn over the tasks to Afghans as soon as possible. Infrastructure building and provision of security are two exceptions but those digging wells and carrying out other needed tasks should be Afghans.

To meet regional goals and make Afghanistan a place that will not be a haven for terrorism and extremism, I believe that U.S. forces, concentrating on security, will need to remain in place for foreseeable future, five to ten years. I believe that a similar commitment of ISAF forces will be required if it is to remain viable. I believe that a near-term surge commitment of U.S. and ISAF forces to the south and east is required to help provide security, defeat terrorist forces, and help jump-start reconstruction.

There is no disagreement that the DDR (Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration) process is vital to the future of Afghanistan. and that, at some point in the future, there will be a single national army and police force in Afghanistan. It has also been determined by the Bonn process and the Afghan constitution that the armed forces that liberated Afghanistan in 2001 are not to enjoy the central place in national life that has been the case in many developing countries, most notably that of Pakistan. It has also been determined that the emerging national army and police forces are to reflect the entire country's ethno-linguistic makeup (especially in their commanders), which is frequently not the case in many developing countries, most notably region that of Pakistan.

Demobilization of fighting men outside the Kabul government's army and police forces without jobs creates only bandits and narcotics cultivators. Demobilization has to be a primary aim of reconstruction aid. In long term, rebirth of a national economy is the only answer. But in the short term, the U.S. may have to look to these forces to assist with security.

However, in the short term, the DDR process has led to a stand-off between U.N. authorities trying to implement it and defense minister Marshal Fahim. In the longer term, effective DDR is going to be the consequence of the successful assumption of legitimate and competent national power by the government in Kabul rather than the cause.

Since 1978, armed power wielded by Kabul has been discredited, and it will require years of increasing legitimacy and competency to restore it. The Hazaras and the Bamiyan shura are going to have a different view of the DDR process than that held in Kabul by our friends in the government. They are going to want re-assurance that the emerging national army and police force and not going to be used as the "big stick" of a repressive center-periphery relationship. The same considerations also apply to other armed forces in Afghanistan, which need to have their security situation considered on a case-by-case basis.

The U.S. can contribute to an effective DDR process. The most important elements are already being carried out -- the creation of a national army and reconstruction that can both employ and train former fighting men. An important challenge will be to extend the benefits of DDR not only to the regional commanders -- they already have jobs with the government -- but to their senior and mid-level commanders. If they end up as bandit chiefs or narcotics growers, then the effectiveness of the entire process will be undercut.

Hindering the implementation of DDR is a widespread belief by the Afghans affected by it in political bias by both UN and the Kabul government. If the U.S. retains the confidence of the regional commanders, it can act as a trusted interlocutor, looking for ways to implement DDR. This is likely to be more effective than having U.S. combat units physically disarming Afghans. Effective actions in support of DDR can include the continued provision of U.S. Special Forces teams with Afghan forces. On multiple occasions, these have "deconflicted" potential problems and demonstrated earnest that the regional commanders should continue to support Kabul, the constitution, and the Bonn process rather than call up their foreign supporters and look for funding to start implementing their own agenda.

The U.S. needs to work with these commanders and forces where appropriate. While they are "yesterday's men" and they know it, their residual power -- in the terms of patronage networks and armed men -- is significant. Demanding that they be swept away as an a priori condition for the elections while the central government's institutions that would replace them -- and the legitimacy for their non-repressive use -- are both still weak is unachievable and will undercut the potential for limited -- but still real -- gains.

These are just a few elements of a vast interconnected problem. While judging the U.S. effort by money spent or number of troops in- country rather than their effect is dangerous, more U.S. resources would be good. There is a continued need for reconstruction funds. Money can smooth over many of the center-periphery political problems. There would be many fewer Afghans carrying Kalashnikovs for regional commanders or maintaining poppy fields if there were programs where, funded by aid money, they could work on rebuilding in the morning and be taught to read in the afternoons. When such programs have been offered, there have been literally hundreds of applicants for each place.

But until that time, even with more U.S. troops on the ground and more U.S. aid over what is currently available, we will have to prioritize. I believe that the elections make regional security the highest priority. But additional resources would make it possible for the U.S. to have more policy options in dealing with worsening problems such as disarmament and narcotics. Dealing with both while avoiding becoming a participant in Afghan politics or making the Afghan government appear to be a U.S. creation will be difficult, but this cannot be an excuse for inaction.

A goal of all U.S. and international action -- diplomatic, security, reconstruction -- is to ensure an Afghan government is able to make meeting the needs of its citizens a priority. This was not a priority in 1978-2001. The government needs, within the context of the constitution and the Bonn process, to grow revenues and patronage networks that can help stabilize Afghanistan. But do not expect -- or try and fund -- short-term success. While supporting the government in Kabul, we must help ensure tomorrow's Afghans do right what the former King and his governments -- flush with superpower aid at the height of the Cold War -- did terribly wrong in the decades before 1978.

There is a desperate need for training Afghans in many fields, especially civil administration. The concept of effective, accountable, impartial administration was put aside in 1978-2001 when power and its possession were often the sole concerns. Between the pre-1978 heritage and the skills of individual Afghans, there is hope for improvement, but this is an area where the aid is needed.

U.S./NATO troops are needed to make reconstruction possible in the south and east. But keep in mind that goal should be the minimal level of troop commitment consistent with effectiveness. While U.S. troops are a unique and important symbol of commitment, good foreign troops are needed to share the burden and demonstrate international security commitments. The wrong foreign troops need to stay home.

The most important reconstruction aid -- that only the U.S. can provide -- is preventing regional players acting as spoilers in Afghanistan. This means, in the near term, undercutting support for the cross-border actions by the Taliban and Al Qaida. In the longer term, it means support for efforts that will undercut the "Taliban culture" on Pakistan's side of the Durand Line and encourage the growth of civil society and effective governance. Religious funding originating in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region will be critical if it is used in the election process.

In the final analysis, Afghans are likely to work things better out themselves. We need to build back their infrastructure, act as interlocutors and mediators, prevent outsiders from acting as spoilers, and be guided by a goal of not doing for the Afghans what they can do for themselves. The U.S. and the international community -- by making long term security commitments to match the aid commitments given recently at Berlin -- can help the Afghans work things out themselves. If the U.S. and the international community can enable and empower them to decide their own future and can prevent outside spoilers from doing damage, then there is cause for guarded optimism about the future of Afghanistan. But as new challenges have emerged in Afghanistan -- the need to conduct elections, the need for disarmament and narcotics eradication, the creation of a national economy -- they require new responses and commitment of resources from the United States.

Let me say that we will try to have 10 minutes of questioning by each Senator and then maybe another round. Let me recognize for a moment Senator Biden. You have to leave.

Yes. I am supposed to address a national police organization, but this is, quite frankly, much more important. I wonder if you would indulge me to ask one question.

Joe Biden

Gentlemen, some of us on this committee have had a running and legitimate debate with people inside and outside the administration, from the moment the Taliban collapsed, as to how we should proceed. I want to make it clear that I think when we are talking about Afghanistan or Iraq and how we should have proceeded, a strong dose of humility is in order for anyone who has a recommendation, particularly speaking for myself. I am not suggesting by the question I am about to ask that had the prescriptions offered by the majority of this committee been followed, that things would be materially different. I think they would, but I do not know. This is not one of these "we told them so and here we are and what do we do."

I want to get to the heart of what I see as a difference in policy prescriptions here without speaking about the details, the tactics, whether we are speaking about education and whether or not -- when I was in Afghanistan, meeting with a man who had been in Italy for the last 24 years and came back to become the head of the Department of Education, in effect, he talked about opening up the university. I went in to see him and I said, basically what do you need? I thought he was going to tell me he needed supplies, laboratories, books, et cetera. He said, I need one thing. I need security on the roads. No student is going to show up without security on the roads. I said, what do you mean? He said, literally on the roads. I have got to be able to have a student who lives in Kandahar or lives in Herat or lives in Bagram to be able to think they can travel the road to get to the university.

Joe Biden

When I visited the first schools that were open, the grade schools, it was impressive the determination of the young girls in particular who had been out of school for 5 years, some of them 14, 15 years old going back to primary school and their determination to learn to read. One young woman, as I said I was leaving, stood up with those magnificent hazel eyes so many of them have and with fire in them, looked at me and said, "You cannot go." I thought she meant I could not leave the classroom. She said, "America cannot go. I will never learn to read. I want to be a doctor like my mother." This was through a translator. Her determination was incredible.

Joe Biden

But again, security. Even immediately after the Taliban was on the run, I met with two women ministers and sublevel women in the government who told me that, as they took the bus to work, they wore their burka. They told me of examples where cars would drive up with four men and the men would jump out, throw the women against the wall, threaten them, tell them if they are not covered next time, they will be punished.

Joe Biden

So, when we tried to expand the security force -- and Secretary Powell weighed in on this force as well -- there was a reluctance, a judgment made at the highest levels in our government that that was not the way to go.

Joe Biden

Then in what were at the time weekly meetings with Dr. Rice -- and I think she expresses a legitimate view, but a different view -- I remember one day saying to her, Condy, the warlords are gaining power not reducing power. For a brief, shining moment there, they were all sort of cowed and they all were worried about whether benefactors would continue to support them, whether it be any one of the five surrounding countries. There was a moment there where they were ready to let international security forces in sort of as apartheid cops. They kind of viewed it as if the international security force was there, at least their territory would not be encroached upon by a competing faction.

And Dr. Rice looked at me and she said this -- I am not telling tales out of school -- she said, "What do you mean? What is the problem?" I said well, Ismail Khan in Iraq. She said, "What is the problem? The Taliban is not there. Al Qaeda is not there. It has always been this way."

So I think we should level with one another here about what is the base, fundamental difference in approach and what we have to deal with here. There has been a judgment made, if not by direction, by indirection in a sense, that the way to maintain stability in Afghanistan was to try to do whatever is necessary within our power and divert our attention to deal with Al Qaeda and deal with the Taliban. Part of that seems to have been that the warlords are an element in that. If you have Khan in charge, you do not have the Taliban in charge.

And also, this debate, Mark, about the British view and the American view on dealing with poppy. We met with some high ranking German officials who said this is not the time to crack down on the poppy trade because you will just cause more unemployment and you will have another problem. Now, maybe I have spent too much of my life, 23 years of the 32 I have been here, being chairman or ranking member of the subcommittee on drugs of the Judiciary Committee. This seems to me a prescription for disaster.

It is a long prelude to a short question. I am not looking for what you think should be our policy. I want you to respond to what you think our policy is. Does the support or the failure to attempt to crack down -- and we have limited capacity right now -- on warlords have, for all the bad aspects of it, the positive impact at least of, other than in the south, curtailing the activity, growth, and influence of the Taliban and Al Qaeda? That is my first question. Can you just give me a yes or no, since we only have 10 minutes here? Does it have that effect? Not all the bad effects that flow from it. Does it have that effect of dampening the influence of the Taliban and Al Qaeda to the degree to which the warlords have increased power and do not answer to Kabul?

Initially right after the 9/11 events, and as we went into Afghanistan with our own forces, I think that it did. I think it no longer does. I think now it has a negative impact on the long-term objectives that we and the Afghans have, and it only in a sense sustains the instability that permits the conditions that encourage the resuscitation of the Taliban and Al Qaeda and the border areas.

Because part of what I think some view -- and these are serious people. They suggest that our ability to actually devote the resources, in light of our circumstances in Iraq and the unwillingness of the Europeans to do even more in Afghanistan is that we are given one of two options. We either put in significantly more resources, that is, more troops, more money, not just ours, but the international community, and more direct effort to bolster Kabul.

For example, one of the things we argued about was whether every single project should go through Karzai. What value is there if you give your money directly to Ismail Khan to build a road or a school? He is the one delivering it. Why call Karzai? Why call Kabul? If you don't have any military control over that part of the region because of the warlords' capacity, at least there has to be some reason why anyone in the provinces would want to deal with Kabul, and if the money is not controlled and the projects are not controlled from there, then who needs it? You become the Mayor of Kabul.

But it seems the realists on the left and the right in our political spectrum are coming up with what I think will be a compelling argument to some, not one I agree with, which is, look, the resources required are significantly larger than are now committed. That is not going to happen. So we should at least decide to limit the damage and reduce the objective, the objective being keep the Taliban from resurging, keep Al Qaeda out. The only way to do that is invest, in effect, indirectly in the warlords.

I do not think that is going to get you where you want to be, Senator. In fact, I think that one of the conclusions of the United Nations and of others is that if that position holds and there is a continued support for or at least acceptance of the warlords maintaining their power base, what that does in the Pashtun area is essentially allow them to argue that they need, in a sense, their own warlords. If this is the way it is going to be, then they say we have got lots of linkages back with the Taliban. And so you are going to see a greater degree of political insertion of roots in that area by the Taliban. What the warlords bring is essentially illegal activity being accepted as legitimate, and this is not going to be the basis for building any institutions for the future.

But you are right. There is going to be a need for greater resources, both military and economic, to be devoted. I do think, though, that there is an opportunity to get more European contributions from the Spanish, from Turkey, particularly in terms of meeting what is now set out by NATO as their requirements.

No. Senator, the realists among the Afghans that we talked to pointed out that the U.S. military continuing to provide financial resources to the warlords creates a duplicity in our position. It makes it look as if we are on all sides of the issue.
