ladin i'm just clarify it for you the nickname of the courier that was osama bin laden's contact with the outside world and who the u.s. tracked to get him was provided by high value detainees clicheed mohamed originally then verified by her eyes al libi and hail some is said to have been water boarded one hundred eighty three times but if you look at the timeline it was presented by the obama administration. didn't provide this nickname until two thousand and four we stopped using harsh interrogation techniques on him and two thousand and three after that the fact that it took another four years just to get the guy's real name for operatives on the ground in afghanistan and pakistan and n.s.a. get some investigative work then after he made a fatal phone call and showed up on n.s.a. surveillance pakistani informants wrote down his license plate number which led them to the compound which eventually led them to bin laden so i'd say it was technology surveillance intelligence that led the u.s. to bin ladin but not torture can we stop trying to justify it or discuss this with me is jim h

are they going to remember osama bin ladin and remember our war on terror and our detainees at guantanamo bay and it's going to backfire and i think it's clear that also did a lot in stalking more generally has drawn superficially in the middle east i mean it was very little evidence of any support for their ideology. these demonstrators who were kind of talking much more in a patriotic language the language of democracy and freedom but i think our policy was over the last ten years after nine eleven really haven't done us a lot of friends in the middle east i think that was president bush's freedom agenda which he promulgated and then kind of backed away from in the wake of the hamas is very. in the west bank and the muslim brotherhood victory in egyptian elections so i think we have an opportunity now to really try again and i think president obama has made some steps towards supporting the demonstrators and supporting reform but our relationships with a number of these different countries so they're complicated so i'm not going to get you know who actually you know cry the killing of u

or they can remember osama bin ladin and remember our war on terror and argentina as a guantanamo bay and is it going to backfire well i think it's clear that osama bin laden stock in a kind of stock more generally has dropped precipitously in the middle east i mean there was very little evidence of any support for their ideology. these demonstrators who were kind of talking much more of a patriotic legacy of the language of democracy and freedom but i think our our policy is that over the last ten years after nine eleven really haven't won us a lot of friends in the middle east i think that was president bush's freedom agenda which he promulgated and then kind of backed away from in the wake of hamas his victory in the west bank in the muslim brotherhood's victory in egyptian elections so i think we have an opportunity now to really try again and i think president obama has made some steps toward supporting the demonstrators and supporting reform but our relationships with a number of these different because. they're complicated zawahiri and yet you know who actually. decried the kil

death was ok can we bring our troops home now it's been clear for years that osama bin ladin wasn't in afghanistan anymore that iraq had nothing to do with nine eleven and that we're not bringing democracy to afghanistan but rather we destabilize the country and made life for civilians more dangerous for our politicians and our military military officials have made repeated calls in the last few days for us to remember it's a spike in lawns that the war on terror isn't over but even though there are maybe one hundred two hundred al qaeda left in afghanistan total we must stay so they don't return but a new survey a usa survey poll shows that sixty percent of americans suddenly think they're winning the war on terror so will obama can obama use this moment to get us out or a signal out prolonged war because people think that suddenly we're on a roll joining me to discuss this is jack rice former cia agent and criminal defense attorney jack thanks so much for joining us tonight for starters ok so is selling a lot and has been killed he was in pakistan and he was in a mansion why do we

of come to life i'm not passing any ties around bin ladin himself since he's certainly a bad dude it's not the big bad dude that our government has made him out to be in fact the f.b.i. never even listed nine eleven on its bin ladin web page because according to rex tomb chief of investigative publicity for the f.b.i. quote the reason why nine eleven is not mentioned on a song a lot of us want to page is because the f.b.i. has no hard evidence connecting the lot of the nine eleven but even if bin laden is the devil should we have just let him go and go he should be with the devil himself and to be brutal. but if you were a president with no regard for the rule of law you could just send troops into a foreign country and kill someone without a trial nor the constitution you could ignore the f.b.i. and the justice department you would stand against all that which we hold dear in america to chase down the devil you could cut down every law in america but that begs a question for our dear leader and when the last law was down and the devil turned round on you where would you high but the l

around fifty percent on the economic front stocks surge in response to the news about bin ladin but now it seems it was only temporary and economic issues still loom large for two thousand and twelve and that doesn't bode well for the president joining me now to discuss the g.o.p.'s outlook for two thousand and twelve is in the house and want to be president of conservative conservative conservative illinois i for liberty at the university of illinois thank you so much for joining us i am so of these college students that you turned out sunday night at the white house. does that reporter do you think at all in the way that the college race is going to be involved in the two thousand and twelve walk from camp and you know i honestly do you think so especially in illinois i go to school in the lanes that's obama's home state everyone there you know in two thousand it was extremely excited upon his election and i do think that they'll vote for him for reelection to be entirely honest unfortunately but do you think that's a high probability do you think he's going to have the same kind

were transferred from the bin ladin unit to iraq to hunt for al. units in iraq and in two thousand and five bush quietly close the cia's bin laden unit this is the unit that was dedicated specifically to hunting and not in because there were intelligence needs for iraq and so he had to switch resources so i think a lot of that rhetoric about you know saying that bush was doing this intentionally asserted sort of some kind of grand scheme was to cover up this huge embarrassment of not being able to find him because you just wasn't resourcing it properly i mean tora bora is the key instance here this is in two thousand and one right after the invasion we had bin laden in our grasp he was wounded he was on the run and there's about one hundred american commandos and they kept asking for reinforcements the they made repeated requests for reinforcements a thousand marines to walk off the exits block up the exits into pakistan there were american sniper teams helicopters mobile units and they were p. to be denied by general tommy franks who was the comma

omar bin ladin the son of the late bin ladin who's now swimming with the fishes mafia style basically said the you know he fears that it's father's killed it'll be a lot more mayhem in the world there are really possible retaliation to the u.s. has put a travel ban in effect or at least you know kind of the warnings in effect which suggests that they too are prepared for a reaction and it's likely to be a bloody one and it's not going to be one that comes you know an income for the new cycle and it's not going to be done for public consumption it's going to be done to try to inflict pain and suffering in response this is at least in their view a war not just a publicity contest i think that's an important point and we thought you know secretary clinton this morning thanks we're now this is not mean we can relax this means we're now going to double down and tell our after it seems like at all across . there's a lot of excitement going on i'm wondering if you see anything larry is between what we've seen you know in a lot fifteen hours or so and other pivotal moment i mean in other word

evidence must be a lie not everyone believes bin ladin related. and speaks for itself varial it see upsets relatives of nine eleven victims as in what president obama really did was anger nine eleven victims not kill bin laden and then there was a worldwide daily poll in which visitors rest a sound off on the death of osama bin laden was popular response to the poll garnering twenty percent of the vote was the timing of obama's order was perfect to distract from his eligibility troubles a perfect response since it combines death the resentment. and the fourth bush response with seven percent of the vote was i'm skeptical bin laden is actually dead figures. there was radio host alex jones his take on bin laden's death yesterday on this network. who schama bin ladan according to two white house sources and i'm on record with this and another state department source we have one of the names just public in two thousand and two saying he guided he's frozen literally frozen and that he would be rolled out in the future if someday demand little alex join

was also on the bin ladin who's been politically involved into al qaeda but like i said i said there is a lot of cheerleading going on in washington right now and it says many find it more comforting to think only in terms of justice is being served and evil punished rather than also look at the other side of the double edged sword which is america's war on terror and turning to a nice and now russia is no stranger to al qaeda linked terror movements tell us more about that. russia most certainly is no stranger to the threat of terror is specially in its color tile north caucasus region where special forces there are constantly on the offensive against domestic terror networks and internationally wanted terrorists like joe kumar of with that's said moscow has of course and understandably helped the death of osama bin ladin say that it's a major step and simple to do with global terror prices also say that it hopes that it would be further cooperation but the country very much understands that even though osama bin ladin is dead the fight against terror is far from over the man want t

service members involved in the operation which killed osama bin ladin, while also addressing soldiers recently returned from afghanistan. for more on where the fight goes from here, i'm joined by the president of the new american foundation. thank you for joining us. i want to start by asking you, who is going to take over from bin laden, or in fact, i can anybody take over? >> number two has been in place to succeed bin laden really since the founding of out qaeda as an organization, back in 1988. i would expect him to take his constitutional office, as it were. can he phil bin laden's role? i am doubtful about that. bin laden had a spiritual aura. he had presided over the 9/11 attacks. he has a credibility that his successor does not have. >> you mentioned spiritual leadership. how relevant was he to day-to- day operations? >> that was a question that was a mystery since 9/11. there was some suggestion, just by the nature of his communication, that he was in touch with colleagues and involved with decisions about strikes and targets. the evidence seized in his house in abbottabad wi

attorney general talking about the legality the kiing of ama bin ladin. ashe ainisation been taing about pakista'role in this? ny have said tha t u.s doesot trust paktan. that is a very important issue. absolutely. i thinkhere are plenty of quesons being raised her out pakistan,boutheir role, about howll this happenedust next to the cotry's biggest military academy, espiallnow that it hasemerged that osama b lad hadeen ere for so lon i tnk thadministration has beenery carefulbout pastan i thinkhey're being careful about cments theyake. the head of theia said they did not nt t tell the pastan is because they tught ey mhtlerthe target. aptrom that, ihinkhe u.s.admistration is being very careful about its commentingon the role of pakistan it is the sa thing as with the pictures. i do not think ty wa to inflame anymore tsion they're trying kp this as w-key as ssib. tre i probab also an acceptance, realizatioon the part of thadmistration that therare various parts of t pakaani government and ey have diffent rationships wi people on the ground. i think th is th

bin ladin's. do you agree with such downgrade in the sense that i do i do agree with what general petraeus has cert and i have heard the various sermons and the various discourses that have been produced by homologs of only for the past you know decade or so and it's very difficult to compare osama bin laden. had it because they're two different individuals you know one is really the ideologues i mean i'm alone so out is basically a person who provides motivational guidance he gives a lot of sermons a lot of you know speeches about what the world is going through he's the one who will be written one of the most important books in the. history the book is titled the night under the banner of the prophet and where he strategizes his strategy against the west but clearly achievements that bin laden was responsible for gives him such a grand figure i mean as well the files are really short of this al qaida need such a figure because we we generally so we've been talking for for a long time now that al

to say that osama bin ladin though one in the sense that he got exactly what he wanted he got america involved in the prolonging wars at the same time and now it's changed to who we are as a country what we allow our country to do what we allow our government to do in terms of torture in terms of putting american citizens on assassination less indefinitely detaining people throwing it due process out the window in terms of all of us accepting that hey the government illegally spied on us but now we think that that's the only way to stay safe. well yeah i mean someone on twitter started an account called osama and hell and he said i've taken your civil liberties with me so i mean i think you could make a case that some of the aims of osama bin laden to chisel away at the fabric of u.s. society were successful but i think also the other winners of this war of these policies were the huge defense contractors that reaped incredible profits beyond their wildest imagination not just from the no bid contracts passed out during the bush administration but the obama administration has doubled

bad news for those who want to see bin ladin with a whole one as white house that it's not releasing the photos it was press secretary jay carney at today's white house briefing reading a transcript of an upcoming sixty minutes interview with president obama over why he decided not to release the photos. we discussed this internally keep in mind that we are absolutely certain that this was him we've done d.n.a. sampling and testing and so there is no doubt that we killed osama bin laden it is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence or as a propaganda tool that's not who we are. we don't trot out this stuff as trophies that's not who we are what jake carney just said right there strikes right to the heart of what george w. bush did to this country and what president obama is trying to change bush was governor of texas he executed one hundred thirty one people no other governor ever came close to flipping the switch on as many prisoners and bush did it with ease as in two

and nato are training rivals there when this death of osama bin ladin was reminding us that it was in fact the u.s. to nourish groups that turned into al qaida and the taliban back in the late eighty's during the soviet afghan war. right now in moscow and guy image here out in washington thanks for the. performer on bin laden's demise and what it could mean for the world we're joined by james corbett editor of the corporate report live york good to have you with us so according to you another number of adolescence bin ladin has been dead for quite some time already if that were true why would the u.s. wait till now to announce his death well first let me correct you i'm not in new york i'm actually in japan but. it's not my contention that osama bin laden doesn't theft definitively has been dead for some time but the he has his death has been announced a number of times at any rate and and i don't see why we should take this pronouncement any more seriously than any of the previous pronouncements especially considering the complete and utter lack of evidence that has so far been produ

since the killing of osama bin ladin and apparently i wasn't happy to the country music a stablish meant i wasn't going to get all the fun take a listen as ed calls out a group of musicians for not being patriotic enough. we should just be boston with pride right now i mean i think i can say that we with tremendous confidence that this was a brave mission based on a gutsy call by president obama i mean all of us except maybe one portion of america i'm waiting on and that's nashville tennessee and ruiz country western singer is that just love to make all these patriotic songs league greenwood are these proud to be an american. come on dude give me a song man we took down the number one terrorist in the world does it have to be a republican president all the time. and you're right ed because the most serious issue that the u.s. is facing right now is the lack of country music songs about been a lot of being assassinated thank you so much for taking time on your show could rest this very important issue i'm not sure that i can think of anything less important in nashville tennessee not comi

the reality was that bin ladin and i'm in the one hundred could become the focus of a loose association of disillusioned islam is militants and were attracted by the new strategy. but there was no organization these were militants who mostly planned their own operations and looked up in love for funding and the sisters. he was not their commander. in fact al qaeda didn't exist at that time either it was another fabrication budget. some of a lot of himself would not use the term al-qaeda until after nine eleven after the united states had created the name only then did bin laden use the name al qaeda for the little organization that he ran and that was just for recruiting purposes in other words we created al qaeda before bin laden did but beyond just paying for fake intelligence to convict bin laden in the african embassy bombings why else would george w. bush want to attribute to bin laden all these hours that he didn't actually have well look no farther than hollywood any good superhero in order to be seen and known as a super hero needs an equally powerful super villain and george w.

will still blower who said herself that bin ladin was working with us all the way up until nine eleven i was bringing up allah locky a known terrorist threat dinner and a guy who had dinner at the pentagon after an eleven is according to. listen he's a target by the spears if there is but let's be real. washington post on its own legal docket of people that were there i have people that were there last night or draw a large or drunk they were there yeah i thought they were they were drunk they were weed was being smoked everywhere there was no want it everywhere so so if people couldn't figure out their elbow from their you know fourth point of contact you know give me a little grace there was no you know what i did fuck that and didn't notice any weakness and you didn't tell him i smiled and i suddenly guys. didn't know models and i always heard he said on each other solars but i we have some clips from last night from the footage that we won't play nice and get some reaction let's roll the first clip. i don't think the president was the one that got him i think it's our troops across

obama said that he had known about bin ladin is where about si's august last year but only last week had he given the order to take him it's been two weeks seize obama and now it's his reelection plans he's been slipping in the polls over inconclusive wars overseas and economic woes at home it's actually led to the president of the united states being beatified almost more than the you know the pope's you know kind of accolades to john paul this is you know obama is cashing in on this day everything for everything that it's worth and you'll notice that his speech last night he kept stressing several times i ordered i promised i's such and such it was clearly done for you know this statement was clearly worded for political advantage and it was unity and joy over the death of these evil man and there has been missing the bigger picture in the last twenty years the war on terror and the way it's being played has earned them more enemies than friends i'm going to check our reporting home washing our. investigative journalist jeremy shall says bin laden may be gone but his agenda will ce

among those supported by the us was osama bin ladin whose group eventually evolved into al qaida but like i said i said there is a lot of cheerleading going on in washington right now and it seems many find it more comforting to think only in terms of justice is being served and evil punished rather than also look at the other side of the double edged sword which is america's war on terror now that russia is no stranger to well coded terror of movements is it russia most certainly is no stranger to the threat of terrorist specially in its faults while north caucasus region where special forces there are constantly on the offensive against domestic turd networks and internationally wanted terrorists like doku umarov but that's it moscow has of course and understandably helped the death of osama bin ladin say that it's a major step and soon folded with all the terror prices also say that it hoped it would be further cooperation but the country very much understands that even though osama bin ladin is dead the fight against terror is far from over the man want to demand for a decade is

the week's top stories on art see al qaeda leader osama bin ladin was killed in a covert u.s. operation after a decade long manhunt but the terror threats around the globe lives on as we look. at the u.s. and the e.u. probably small sanctions against the syrian government for its crackdown on protesters military intervention in the country hopes of ever increasing possibility. and final polish military pageantry schools of russian troops march through central moscow in preparation for a major display of the upcoming victory day. welcome this is artsy is one pm sunday afternoon here in moscow my name is kevin owen with a round up of the week's top stories for you and first the story that dominated the news the world's most notorious terrorist killed for almost ten years in hiding a suburb in large was shot during a covert u.s. navy seal operation they found nine eleven mastermind living in a multimillion dollar mansion about fifty kilometers from pakistan's capital but his arteries in this and no reports of deaths are likely to make the world a safer place. a man wanted dead or

files apparently sees them killed osama bin ladin suggest that he remain closely involved in the terror plots it's one of the justifications from the u.s. government for its handling of bin ladin scrolling i was going to use a gun a explains the violent questioning of terror suspect was also being loaded for helping america's most wanted terrorist. putting a pretty face on years of torture and law u.s. officials talk about the efficiency of enhanced interrogation techniques as they call them in locating bin ladin we have to take that information through waterboarding and some of those who say that waterboarding doesn't work and say that it should be stopped and never use again we got vital information which directly where as to why are you denying that waterboarding was in part of long the tactics used to extract the intelligence that led to the successful mission go i think some of the detainees clearly were you know they used these enhanced interrogation techniques against some of these detainees no tangible proof has been presented as to how torture helped the petain valuable intelli

of bin ladin's. so do you agree with such downgrading the sense of i do i do agree with what general petraeus has said and i have heard the various sermons and the various discourses that have been produced by amabel's about it for the past decade or so and it's very difficult to compare osama bin laden. had it because they're two different individuals you know one is really the ideologues mean homeowners who are he is basically a person who provides motivational guidance he gives a lot of sermons a lot of you know speeches about what the world is going through he's the one who has written one of the most important books in the. history book is titled the night under the banner of the prophet where he strategizes his strategy against the west but clearly achievements that bin laden was responsible for gives him such a grand figure but i was writing falls a really short of this al qaida needs to figure because we generally so we've been talking for for a long time now there are al qaeda there actually

spying on its own citizens we have to ask if osama bin ladin bought exactly what it is that he wanted joining me to discuss we have lawrence wilkerson a retired u.s. army colonel and former chief of staff to colin powell matthew does political policy analyst and director of middle east progress at the center for american progress as well as jordan cycle low director of international operations for the american center for law and justice and from our studio in new york jeremy scahill national security correspondent for the nation magazine who's also been reporting on the elite military unit that killed bin laden for several years gentlemen i want to thank you all for joining me tonight i have a feeling it's going to be a good one jeremy to start with you over there and new york and one thing that president obama said last night when he was addressing the nation is that justice has been served justice is done especially for those families for the victims of the attacks on nine eleven do you think that's true. well i think for a certain segment of the world's population that's true i thi

still in afghanistan especially now that osama bin ladin is out of the picture. they still keep the key here. is the person holding foreign. bureau to right he said facebook one big tool for u.s. intelligence we'll look at the evidence behind us on his claim. it's wednesday may fourth i'm lauren lyster and your watching our team now the fog of war or you may just want to call it the fog of p.r. the obama administration since announcing osama bin laden's death has flip flopped on numerous details one example first it was a fire fight and an armed bin laden fought back listen. he was engaged in a firefight with those that entered the area of the house that was in and whether or not he go through the rounds i quite frankly don't know a day later they did know the white house announces bin ladin wasn't armed at all and gives this account a woman rather bin laden's wife rushed the u.s. assaulter and was shot in the leg but not killed bin laden was then shot and killed he was not on your heart and was not armed and now senior pakistani security officials say bin laden'

the foreign policy implication of osama bin ladin stuff will be enormous are a lot of questions being raised today on pakistan's role of the death of bin laden or more importantly august on the role in that lot count on the bin laden was living in was literally just down the street from the pakistani military academy meaning it was highly unlikely that pakistani intelligence didn't know what was going on right under their noses which would explain why u.s. special forces swarmed the compound without notifying anyone within the government or the military meanwhile upon learning that bin laden was killed in pakistan and not afghanistan afghan president hamid karzai renewed his call for withdrawal of american troops from his country saying the war on terror is not an afghanistan osama was not an afghanistan they found him in pakistan the war on terror is not an afghan villages the war on terror is not in the houses of innocent afghans but in the safe havens of terrorism outside afghanistan so does this mean it's time to get out of afghanistan and go home and just how tenuous is the relat

after the break tonight civilians say why we need wasn't bush and bin ladin and what gandhi and him. you know sometimes you see a story and see so. you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else here sees some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't. tar is a big picture. it's the good the bad of the very agonizingly ugly person the good talker of the morning to a recent study out of hamilton college to look at twenty six television. and graded them on how accurate their predictions were paul krugman turned out to be the top truth teller it should be noted the greek roman also thinks we should opt for progressive budget in the progressive caucus in the house of representatives that includes tax hikes on millionaires and now there are scientific numbers to support who wins insight and a nobel prize in economics too maybe we should all listen to him a lot more off the bat but donald in an interview with the new york times trying to talk about why he doesn't support same sex marriage and as usual trying to put forward an intelligent and w

since the killing of osama bin ladin and apparently ed was on happy the country music a sound wish meant wasn't going to get all the fun take a listen to that calls out a group of musicians for not being patriotic enough. we should just be boston with pride right now i mean i think i can say that we with tremendous confidence that this was a brave mission based on a gutsy call by president obama i mean all of us except maybe one portion of america i'm waiting on and that's nashville tennessee rooney's country western singer that just loved to make all these patriotic songs league greenwood if he's proud to be an american toby keith come on dude give me a song man we could become the number one terrorist in the world does it have to be a republican president all the time. you're right ed because the most serious issue that the u.s. is facing right now is the lack of country music songs about bin laden being assassinated thank you so much for taking time on various show to address this very important issue i'm not sure that i can think of anything less important in nashville tennessee not

still in afghanistan especially now that osama bin ladin is out of the picture. the military targets these people because they aren't toeing the line they're not. they're not playing the game but they are just doing their jobs so why are journalists abroad getting killed at the hands of the u.s. military. that evening it's wednesday may fourth by five pm i'm laurin a stranger watching our t.v. now it's a fog of war or you may want to just call it the fog of p.r. the obama administration since announcing bin laden's death has flip flopped on the details first it was a firefight and an armed bin laden fought back listen to this he was engaged in a firefight with those that entered the area of the house he was in and whether or not he got up in the rounds i quite frankly don't know. they later the white house knew that an ounce bin laden wasn't armed at all they gave a different account take a look at a woman rather bin laden's wife rushed the u.s. assaulter and was shot in the leg but not to kill bin laden was then shot and killed he was not on that is just one inc

to new york city americans are jumping for joy over the killing of osama bin ladin even though he's dead isn't the war on terror still very much alive. this is bigger than the moon landing this is you this is just an amazing moment for the country. while the us mainstream media celebrates bin lot of the countries around the world consider other terrorists their big threat so who is the us to say the world's most wanted terrorist is dead. right when governors right wing politicians are trying to make as a company a country of the corporations by the corporations for the corporations so is that why may day is a holiday all around the world except here in the us both to look at unions right in a country where they are slowly disappearing. it is monday may second four pm in washington d.c. i'm christine frizz out here watching our team. there's some story today osama bin laden the leader of al qaeda has been killed the announcement came down late last night by president obama who said the killing was a result of a targeted operation launched by the u.s. military but a small group of navy sea

many are saying of the death of bin ladin marks a major milestone for the war in afghanistan but once this initial celebre tory mood dies down are we really going to see a change in policy or just the continuation of a never ending struggle artie's bring a portnoy of things out. nine and a half years on the war in afghanistan has grown visibly worse while u.s. rhetoric surrounding it has consistently spun in circles we are making progress that is what it was unable to make the progress that we had made and i think it's possible that by the end of this year he will have. since two thousand and three washington has repeatedly per cleaned turning points for a conflict that critics call failing but the reality is that things are still mean that things are worse than they were. every year we send more troops every year as we spend more money and the insurgency grows and size karzai government gets weaker and the bios gets worse nearly fifteen hundred u.s. soldiers and ten thousand afghan civilians have been killed in a war costing america two billion dollars per week meanwhile after sasson

kevin zero in on the top story less than two days after a summer bin ladin was shot dead pakistan is now called in the crosshairs of international scrutiny observers have been baffled over how the world's most wanted terrorist managed to hide just a kilometer away from the country's military academy over it's not the only uncertainty surrounding bin laden's death which marks a major milestone in the global war on terror the sting of the terror here is the increased risk of revenge attacks coming from al qaeda supporters and as you can reports next to the operation one of them barack obama's presidential ambitions any arm either. the great then that a moment shrouded in secrecy as americans celebrated the killing of the nation's number one terrorist they had no other proof of his death but the word of their president they needed that give us a big win and we can walk tall and feel good well sorry can't see his body we threw him in the ocean and all we did show you a fake photo according to u.s. officials american special forces killed osama bin laden in his mentioning pakistan

and pakistan after bin ladin. if you can. still. ok i've not had to go back to you in washington here we haven't mentioned the eight hundred pound gorilla in this discussion that's getting out of afghanistan the u.s. wants to get out of afghanistan now the pakistanis want the americans out of pakistan but they just have different visions and doing that that's what's causing all this tension here isn't it least at this stage where we're going to all of the gloating that we've heard. yes absolutely afghanistan. is a very contentious issue between the united states and pakistan as and i mentioned before the united states and pakistan have conflicting interests in afghanistan. the taliban and its associates are the enemies of americans and the afghan government while they are supported by certain circles within the pakistani establishment this year two thousand and eleven will be a very critical year in afghanistan in july the obama administration is planning to withdraw. begin withdrawal of troops from the country and also it is a begi

bin ladin david frost made no comment whatsoever he let it go completely unquestioned despite the fact that this was you know breaking news or should have been breaking news but benazir bhutto of course unfortunately paid a tragic price for revealing that little gem of information because five weeks after that interview with david frost she herself was assassinated three you're saying that the this supposed this that's a nation of a sovereign laws and was in in an attempt to cover up the allegation that wasn't born in the united states it's certainly having that effect doesn't it and of course now what's happening is that the story is unraveling it's unraveling rapidly . the the u.s. administration is finding it extremely difficult to stay with a single script because more and more people are starting to spot holes in the script and of course as they are some questions and it's like any lie you know once people are exposed as a lying and you probe that lie then they have to come up with more lies to cover the gaps in the original i mean we saw this piece of footage that was released th

among those supported by the us was also some of bin ladin whose group eventual evolved into al qaida one. episode you know and with. great success. but one lesson was learnt victory over evil makes great television and approval ratings for the men in charge . obama said that he had known about bin laden's whereabouts sees august last year but only last week had he given the order to take him it's been two weeks sees obama and now it's his reelection plants he's been slipping in the polls over inconclusive wars overseas and economic woes at home has actually led to the president of the united states being beatified almost more than the you know the pope's you know kind of accolades to john paul this is you know obama is cashing in on this everything for everything that it's worth and you'll notice that his speech last night he kept stressing several times i ordered i promised eyes such and such it was clearly done for you know the statement was clearly word for political advantage that it was unity and joy over the death of these evil man here it's been missing the bigger picture in t

among those supported by the us was osama bin ladin whose group eventually evolved into al qaeda but like i said i said there is a lot of cheerleading going on in washington right now and it seems many find it more comforting to think only in terms of justice is being served and evil punished rather than also look at the other side of the double edged sword which is america's war on terror and the new russia is no stranger to well coded terror of movements is it possible certainly is no stranger to the threat of terrorist specially in its volatile north caucasus region where special forces there are constantly on the offensive against domestic charge networks and internationally wanted terrorists like doku umarov with that said moscow has of course and understandably helped the death of osama bin ladin say that it's a major step and simple to do with global terror prices also say that it hoped that it would be to further cooperation but the country very much understands that even though osama bin ladin is dead the fight against terror is far from over the man want to demand for a dec

who would undoubtedly use it to claim that bin ladin was in fact still alive and teaching fifth grade at middle school and if washington. coming up if you're insured with the added health care you may be entitled to a large settlement up excuse me maybe not after the break how your premiums contributed to the highest paid c.e.o. in the nation steven j. enslave united health care. let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right now and. i think. either one well. whatever government says they're going to keep things safe get ready because your freedom. you know sometimes see a story and it seems.

ladin in pakistan give the u.s. more of a carte blanche were carrying out strikes in other countries it would be used to justify further wars greater repression and more acts tortured judicial targeted assassinations against political opponents and this is true whether and libya and iraq and pakistan and afghanistan many analysts say mary kiss war on terror so far has been a double edged sword that involves fighting terror and provoking terror at the same time the war waged by allied forces and led by the united states is left of ghana's then as unstable as ever the war on terror has the ability to allow the u.s. to carry out military operations that since two thousand and one have taken the lives of more than a million civilians. in iraq in afghanistan now in libya and of course to an escalation of resistance of hatred of revenge and so in terms of keeping the american people safe that's a ridiculous notion the us has a track record of policies that backfired like arming and training the afghan mujahideen in the 19

i think i would hope we've looked at lessons since been larded i've always thought that when bin ladin was sixteen he's compound or in the caves part of these nine was about was thinking about the corrupt relationship between the west and the rulers in saudi arabia so that was one of the things that sort of engendered this whole issue and supporting corrupt disk with dictators has to be a thing of the past the west and i think that's probably why we have why the west that being wise in supporting these popular movements the recurring through the middle east that moment and flying in a place that many of their former allies i mean the saudis must be who we are feeling very uncomfortable there are some quite difficult issues to deal with about our pride relations with libya and bahrain band the saudis this is going to be an uncomfortable nasty period but at least this looks like we might be heading in the right direction do you know and not supporting corrupt autocratic regimes all right paul laughing our investigative journalist and lecturer at london or no university thanks for your pe

of allah said that he had known about bin ladin is where they're out scenes august last year but only last week had he given the order to take him it's been two weeks these obama and now his reelection plans he's been slipping in the polls over inconclusive wars overseas and economic woes at home it's actually led to the president of the united states being beatified almost more than the you know the pope's you know kind of accolades to john paul this is you know obama is cashing in on this the everything for everything that it's worth and you'll notice that his speech last night he kept stressing several times i ordered i promised i's such and such it was clearly done for you know this statement was clearly worded for political advantage at a time of unity and joy over the death of this evil man americans have been missing the bigger picture in the last twenty years the war on terror and the way. the campaign has earned them more enemies than friends and get a check now reporting from washington. american investigative journalist jeremy scahill says bin laden may not be a knife but h

laden and in fact was an enemy of bin ladin saddam hussein and in doing so created or inspired a whole new generation of people to rise up against united states that probably wouldn't have been inclined to do so otherwise so in that sense i mean i don't know that victory is the right word but in that sense osama bin laden's agenda of trying to chisel away at the u.s. power in the world certainly was successful. they just wiki leaks revelations suggest pakistani special forces had been shielding bin laden for many years political analyst ivan evil and says the fact it was about an inexpensive mansion close to the pakistani capital is alone raising a certain degree of suspicion there is some possibility that the pakistani government was saving him as the eighth in the hole because they knew that's what the united states why didn't if the united states gets him they may be less willing to provide billions of dollars of aid and other support to the pakistani government so i think the united states has. always been a victim of pakistan supporting the taliban under the table and perhaps even
