it is a rerun of iraq go ahead it's a rerun of iraq it's a rerun of iraq post original goal for you know no fly zones humanitarian corridors that kind of thing that or nowhere near as benign as they say mark you want to jump in there. no i think i think that's it and we rock is a lot of terrible example the only thing i would say is who knows the creative destruction is in washington may come up with new newer and more disastrous unique form of payoff worsley from the proof the syrians or iraq will have to know. this is r.t. in a few moments the world update but for now it's a scandal likely to fuel the longstanding tensions between washington and pyongyang a media report accuses the u.s. and south korean special forces of parachuting into north korea to spy on underground military facilities the source was an american army general who admitted the missions had already happened it's been vehemently denied by washington which now accuses the journalist behind the report of making up the quotes however he insists what he published was exactly what he heard it comes as the u.s. looks to rei

we have a series of bombings to go on and on in iraq led by leadership, as you explain, is part of the reason that the second wave started ebbing. explain how that worked, and i know that also goes into the whole anwar awakening phenomena, and i have to say, nowhere in the book do you seem to say counter insurgency was the reason for the turn around, so -- awakening and counter insurgency. >> okay. it's interesting because the declassified documents between the core leadership in pakistan show a very tense relationship through 2005 and 2006 and as they continue to use brutal tactics like beheadings and killing large number of civilians through car bombs and explosive devices, in pakistan, we see letters from the number two, zahiri, number two at the time, and also another who was serving as a deputy general manager of al-qaeda, sent letters saying you have got to stop killing so many civilians, especially muslims, including shia. that's underminding your support. back off on targeting civilians in other countries because he was involved in attacks in jordan, and they both said you're g

a lot of people who supported the war in iraq actually believe that iraq had the capability to fire missiles that could reach the united states carrying payloads of nuclear or chemical or biological weapons. iraq has never had the capability to do that they didn't have it in the first gulf war they didn't have it in this. war in iraq and they don't have it any way of getting it in the future what the bush administration did was try to round up as many people as they could who would make the case for what the white house wanted was the cia to give it talking points to justify this war it already made up its mind massive intervention by people particularly from vice president cheney's office and vice president cheney himself in the process and i think the intelligence analysts found themselves really up against it when they tried to argue that those connections were as tight as as people were suggest intelligence director of the department of energy simply ordered his experts who had raised questions about the evidence being used on the nuclear and of it as news accounts say to sit down and sh

the groups got some meaningful understanding relationship of the its almost jake state of iraq, al qaeda, pakistan and taliban. with respect to the islamic state of iraq the documents confirm what we knew before namely it's admission into al qaeda by bin laden the only group he admitted proved to be a liability not an asset to al qaeda. an anonymous author describes the leader of iraq to be extremists and their speeches to be repulsive and lacking wisdom. somewhat revealing is bin laden's concern is what many consider is bin laden's success story. he was anxious that they were attempting to complete more ambitious actions than capable of sustaining. it appears its leader had sent a letter either to bin laden or to al qaeda in which he wrote if you ever want some

and behind him highly critical of both the islamic state of iraq as well as the pakistani taliban. he comes across seeking complete disassociation from the islamic state of iraq and he lists the attacks that the taliban have mounted. so he comes across as somebody who is critical to al qaeda to its sort of the media, the outfit that is out but also translate some english books to bin laden it seems because in one of the letters bin laden is asking that he translate a book, a recent book that was published by robert fitz. with respect to other american jihadis, that does not seem to have made a great impression on osama bin laden. in one of the letters it seems that bashir, the leader in yemen seems to have suggested to replace himself with anwar al awlaki. and bin laden responds no you're very qualified. we don't know enough about him. also he doesn't leave it at that. why don't you, all of you, the leaders write me each one of you separate some of your own conceptualization of the situation. he wants to take it and grade the papers separately. he's reluctant to allow anwar al awla
