bin laden, the capture and killing of osama bin laden, especially for young americans who have grown up over the last ten years, not being able to really put a face or any type of major wins on the war on terrorism that we've been having? >> well, you're absolutely right. this is the 9/11 general rattge young people coming through college, profoundly impacted, as i was, by september 11th. and barack obama has done more to confront the war on terror than any time in the last ten years and the capture of osama bin laden being the pinnacle of that but it doesn't stop there i mean, you look at 1 million new young people have health insurance now since the health care reform bill passed last year. there is just proposal after proposal he has been able to bring forward, i think when young people take a look at the alternatives next year, he has really been working for this generation and it's -- i think they will continue to stand by him. >> how do you encourage those to get to the ballots, though, because the one thing against the youth vote, we can't encourage them enough to get to the p

well again he's not a hawk after all the fact that that osama bin laden is dead to the fact that he's dead. his peace war already in the works we've been fighting al qaeda since two thousand and one actually before that covertly so this is nothing that obama went out and did it's not like he's rambo ripped off his shirt stuck a knife between his teeth and went out this is a president who goes around the world apologizing for this country apologizing for the american people apologizing for what we've done in the world before foreign leaders balgo for the saudi king even baal before a mayor in louisiana or this this is a guy who has you know foreign policy what he does he's a thirst for and i lost it for the use of power ok cliff cliff go ahead cliff jump in. that's that's patently ridiculous i guess in more preferable if we had a president who declared victory in iraq and got up on an aircraft carrier and pumped his own chest before thousands of americans died in a war that wasn't planned out where paul wolfowitz said oh the oil will pay for the whole thing in the us that's ridiculous

bin laden. when something like this happens, when you kill pakistani troops or not, the sovereignty from their view is going to be violated. they're going to be unhappy. cooperation will wind down. we'll give apologies or condolences or what have you. we'll try to re-create the cooperation. and then, there will be another incident. this is a deeply flawed relationship. and think of it as a problem that cannot be solved but as a condition. you have to live with it. you have to manage it. and this is going to happen from time to time. this is a relationship where each side sees is other as a wildly imperfect partner. each side brings tremendous baggage. the pakistanis feel betrayed. we feel let down by the pakistanis. and if history is a guide, this is not going to be resolved. >> a relationship of necessity. so, it goes on. richard, before we let you go, i want to ask you about what's happening in egypt. voting in the first democratic election since mubarak was ousted nine months ago. american vi

well again he's not a hawk after all the fact that osama bin laden is dead this the fact that gadhafi is dead. because these are already in the works we've been fighting al qaeda since two thousand and one actually before that covertly so this is nothing that obama went out and did it's not like he's rambo ripped off his shirt stuck a knife between his teeth and what out this is a president who goes around the world apologizing for this country apologizing for the american people apologizing for what we've done in the world but before foreign leaders bowed before the saudi king even baal before a mayor in louisiana or this is a guy who had his you know over foreign policy what he does have is a thirst for at a loss to for the use of power ok cliff cliff jump head cliff jump in. but that's patently ridiculous i guess and more actually be preferable if we had a president who declared victory in iraq and got up on an aircraft carrier and pumped his own chest before thousands of americans died in a war that wasn't planned out where paul wolfowitz said oh the oil will pay for the whole thi

especially light of osama bin laden and then what happened in yemen. >> i think where were, charlie, is that the core leadership of al qaeda in pakistan h suffered a huge blow with the death of osama bin laden but 's not sufficient to wipe out al qaeda all together. the threat that came from that leadership and carried out the... executed the attacks on 9/11 has bee greatly diminished but what's happened is al qaeda is like corporation. they have franchised that have cropped up in places like north aver a, east africa, somalia, iraq still and in yemen. that's the one that carried out the attempted bombing by the so-called underpants bomber. the nigeriaman who tried to blow himself up and ten months later same organization packed explives in thr printer cartridges, put them on cargo planes and tried to route them the united states. that plot was also thwarted luckily. so you have... al qaeda is still trying to get their hands on weapons of mass destruction, create a mass casualty attack but you have these smaller franchises and the threat of homegrown terrorism in the united states. a

may, successful raid on osama bin laden. september. the death of anwar al awlaki. october, libyan rebels kill kad g gadhafi. when you have these kinds of things that the president, who they said would be weak on foreign policy, and weak in this area, how do you run against them? i guess by trying to go to an extreme and act as though something he doesn't believe in could work when all the evidence that you've just given some concrete examples are to the contrary. >> that's correct, al. i believe these candidates that are pro-torture, for bridnging back waterboarding are trying the to make political points. it was signed and pushed through congress by president ronald reagan. the stance against torture was in this country and to make it u.s. law by having it ratified by congress was nirlly a republican passed initiative. so, you know, these candidates are really trying to score points with republican voters, but let's also commend representative paul and mr. john huntsman for standing up and saying, no, this isn't what america is about and that torture is inconsiste

precursor to the death of osama bin laden there were weeks of meetings covert meanings which somehow didn't leak out of the white house and obama was present in every one of those meetings he knew every detail of that daring raid to eliminate osama bin laden he was watching while it happened he was very much involved in the planning of this and it was his misson mission the same way the elimination of our lucky was very controversial a lot of liberal said the president should have gotten legal opinions was it constitutional to send a drone to another country to eliminate an american citizen he went ahead and you're not going to just be here are you going to show our break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion of a g.o.p. candidate state with our. kate snow. this is the moment and is to me of creation of the do was food system the global food system is not created to feed the people of the world is created to maximize the profits. gernot trading the actual physical grain your trading promises for grain to be delivered a monster six months or twelve months or eightee

we'll go looking for answers at 11:00.  >>> six months after osama bin laden bin was killed we're still learning exactly what officials found in the al-qaeda leader's compound. fox news learned in addition to talk about attacking trains and striking on national anniversaries, bin laden also discussed using buses to attack americans. >> reporter: a new intelligence bulletin obtained by fox news warns that terrorists had targeted bus networks more than any other mode of transportation. buses like this one in london where a suicide bomber's backpack was full of explosives. more than 7,500 attacks were documented from 2004 to 2009. this week the tsa acknowledges the new warning. >> it's something we're seeing and reporting over time that terrorists around the world clearly are interested because of the accessibility, the open architecture both of buses and rail. >> reporter: coming just one week before the thanksgiving break, the warnings to law enforcement in the nation's capital reads in part bus systems are considered attractive terrorist targets because they a

you talk about two s.e.a.l.s going into osama bin laden's bedroom. he reached for his weapon, they shot him immediately. how did they feel when they did that? what did they tell you? >> i don't think feeling really had much to do with it. these guys go in -- when they go in, they are just on in the moment, in the second. they have to be because that's what it takes to survive in these situations. the 90 seconds that i've computed this operation took and from what my information is, that's more in keeping to what a s.e.a.l. team 6 operation is. you hit them hard and fast and it's over before they can react. >> the stealth hawk was the helicopter used. systems went down a million to one chance. >> absolutely. >> they tried to destroy most of it. but you report in here, and i wanted to ask you about this because this is really important, that the pakistanis were so mad that they auctioned off the remains to the chinese so that they could see the technology and then let the iranians and north koreans see it. >> absolutely. just in a little victory lap. t

well again he's not a hawk after all the fact that that osama bin laden is dead this is the fact that gadhafi is dead. this peace war already in the works we've been fighting al qaeda since two thousand and one actually before that covertly so this is nothing that obama went out and did it's not like he's rambo ripped off his shirt stuck a knife between his teeth and went out there this is a president who goes around the world apologizing for this country apologizing for the american people apologizing for what we've done in the world but before foreign leaders baal before the saudi king even baal before a mayor in louisiana this is a guy who has you know her foreign policy what he does he's a thirst for at a loss to for the use of power ok cliff cliff go ahead cliff jump in. but that's patently ridiculous i guess and more preferable if we had a president who declared victory in iraq and got up on an aircraft carrier and pumped his own chest before thousands of americans died in a war that wasn't planned out where paul wolfowitz said oh the oil will pay for the whole thing in the us t

bush made osama bin laden one of the most wanted men in the world. >> i want justice. and there's an old poster out west as i recall that said wanted dead oral live. >> nearly ten years later, his capture was the culmination of one of the most intense man huntes in history. >> can i report to the american people and the world that the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden, the leader of al qaeda and a terrorist responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women and children. >> the man who carried out the mission known as s.e.a.l. team 6, the world's most elite fighting force. chuck is a former member and says he spoke to the men that night. he's out front tonight with their story in a new book out today called s.e.a.l. target geronimo. wonderful to see you and i appreciate you taking the time. you came out with this book, you've talked to the s.e.a.l.s. they're not supposed to talk. today colonel tim nye said this book is a fabrication, you being he, describes events that are factually incorrect. the obama administration is t

you talk about two s.e.a.l.s going into osama bin laden's bedroom. he reached for his weapon, they shot him immediately. how did they feel when they did that? what did they tell you? >> i don't think feeling really had much to do with it. these guys go in -- when they go in, they are just on in the moment, in the second. they have to be because that's what it takes to survive in these situations. the 90 seconds that i've computed this operation took and from what my information is, that's more in keeping to what a s.e.a.l. team 6 operation is. you hit them hard and fast and it's over before they can react. >> the stealth hawk was the helicopter used. systems went down a million to one chance. >> absolutely. >> they tried to destroy most of it. but you report in here, and i wanted to ask you about this because this is really important, that the pakistanis were so mad that they auctioned off the remains to the chinese so that they could see the technology and then let the iranians and north koreans see it. >> absolutely. just in a little victory lap. t

so again i will use the osama bin laden operation is an example. that was it really and military operation in which i think all americans were proud but what people don't realize i believe is that the military now carries out operations like that every day. >> you can watch this and other programs on line at booktv.org

precursor to the death of osama bin laden there were weeks of meetings covert meetings which somehow didn't leak out of the white house obama was present at every one of those meetings he knew every detail of that bearing rein to eliminate osama bin laden he was watching all of happened he was very much involved in the planning of this and it was his misson mission the same way the elimination of our locky was very controversial a lot of liberals said the president should have gotten legal opinions was it constitutional to send a drone to another country to eliminate an american citizen he went ahead and you're going to jump in here are you going to show our break in after that short break we'll continue our discussion on g.o.p. candidate state with our. kate snow. on. a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on the polls. they have . essentially it's a good chance to choose instead to get with the status of the human experiments to . see weeks you'll see this rap music what it knows movies lately trying to make sense of global economy and it's all changed things

so, again, i'll use the osama bin laden operation as an example. that was a brilliant military operation in which i think all americans were proud, but what people don't realize, i believe, is that the military now carries out operations like that every day in afghanistan and iraq. think about just 1980. jimmy carter could not carry out even one operation like that. our military's been chained -- changed and trained to be able to capitalize on intelligence now almost immediately on a daily basis, and that's something that could not have happened in 2001 even. the third lesson, i isn't this is where -- although nadine and i, i think, agree on some things rather than speaking from the panel and on the lectern, i think we're going to disagree a lot about civil liberties. [laughter] here's where i'll close. i think the third thing is that the predictions that there would be this civil liberties catastrophe because of the war on terrorism turned out not to be accurate. i think people could reasonably have that fear at the beginning because of the civil

. >> let me ask you, where were you when you heard that osama bin laden had been killed, because for you personally, never mind professionally, it must have been an extraordinary moment in your life having spent so long trying to catch him after 9/11. >> it was, indeed. i had just come in actually to washington d.c. i had landed that evening from california, and i flipped on the television, and they were getting ready to have the news conference, and i thought the president of the united states doesn't go into the east room this time of night. i think they got bin laden. i was so gratified. i was grateful to president obama for taking a difficult decision because by all reports, it wasn't a certainty that osama bin laden was there, and i was very glad that i think we had left the infrastructure in place call now to find out how an aarp... medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company, helps cover some of the medical expenses... not paid by medicare part b. that can save you from paying up to thousands of dollars... out of your own pocket. these are

bin laden. the book entitled "sealed target geronimo" is written by a former navy s.e.a.l. he said many of the well publicized details about the raid are, quote, fairy tales. for instance, he said bin laden was shot dead within 90 seconds after the raid began, not after a 45-minute fire fight. he also said the helicopter crash began after bin laden died, not when the helicopter first arrived. he claims he interviewed several men who served on that mission to get details for his book. >>> virginia governor bob mcdonnell will meet with prime minister benjamin netanyahu this week as part of his fourth trip to improve trade relations. he'll be in israel thursday through monday and will meet with netanyahu to discuss relationships the commonwealth already has with israeli companies and more opportunities for partnerships. the company sabra, which makes hummus, opened up a plant this year. >>> bank of america will pay $410 million to settle a lawsuit dealing with overdraft fees. the lawsuit claimed th

." >> the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden. the death of awlaki is a major blow. the rest of our troops in iraq will come home by the end of the year. >> reporter: when it comes to the war on terror, it has been a remarkable year for president obama. despite sinking poll numbers and a struggling economy, the president has scored a series of foreign policy successes. america's long war in iraq will end. and a litany of public enemies are dead. but with a smaller u.s. fo footprint and fewer troops in harm's way, the approach is a big shift from the policy set forth by george w. bush. secretary condoleezza rice was one of the architects of that strategy. she was bush's national security adviser when al qaeda struck the twin towers. she was a member of the president's inner circle, perhaps his closest personal adviser. and later, the first ever african-american female secretary of state. >> i, condoleezza rice, do swear -- >> reporter: are we seeing a different model now? >> well, i don't think there is a case to be made that sadda

they have a president who killed the public enemy number one, got osama bin laden. pulled out of the situation in iraq and beefed up the presidency in afghanistan so the national security flag is gone. the jobs promise isn't being delivered on and maybe they don't need to deliver on it because the economy is growing at 2.5% anyway but, you know, of course they could do more on jobs, that would be nice, but they are stuck in a dynamic where they can't get the president anything so what they got. got meaningless stuff like this which the representative said nobody is questioning. i don't know where -- it's like the war on christmas. who is waging this one? >> yeah. well, they will be doing that, next affirming christmas like someone is trying to act like we're cancelling christmas. let's hear what herman cain tried to say about the president. herman cain raised whether the president used god enough in his speeches. >> i believe it was intentional because he did it three times. two of which i know about and a friend of mine said he actually knew of a third one. now wit
