these people somehow overlook the presence in the middle of osama bin laden for a number of years and gave us a lot of trouble as well. it's a very difficult important relationship for anti-americanism as you can see on the screen is in many quarters rampant. >> the politicians don't know what to do. and in iran, our politicians don't know what to do. >> they just don't know. you're right. and there is a rogue country hating you with a nuclear weapon. and anything can happen at any time. and enough is enough, brit. they know bin laden was there. they just thumbed their nose in our face all the time. and we've been hunting tall hi ban who live in pakistan. and taliban forces live in the country. and pakistanies won't control them. we attack them, then, pakistani army starts shooting at us. so what are you supposed to do? have open season? and it's a matter of how much dust you're going to take. it is not? >> sure. it's satisfying to think of it that way. and there is trying to accomplish the goals another way. and there is not a good analogy. iran is a more committed enemy than is paki
