iraq is open for american business and investment and better future for iraq and the iraqi people. thank you very much. >> [indiscernible] >> i feel very badly. i have not been dealing with him for a long period of time, as most of the people in this room know. he was involved in our campaign. he worked for goldman sachs. he worked for a lot of companies, but he was involved likewise in our campaign and for a small part of the administration early on. i have not been dealing with him at all. i know nothing about the project other than i didn't like -- when i read about it, i did not like it. i said this is for government. this is not for private people, and it sounded to me like showboating, and i thing i let my opinion speak very strongly stated at the time. i didn't like it. it was showboating and may be looking for funds, but you have to see what happens. i think it's a very sad thing for mr. bannon. i think it's surprising, but this was something, as you know, just by reading social media and by reading whatever it is and by speaking to mike and mike and all of them, i did not

iraq has been very helpful where necessary but we have been taking our troops out of iraq fairly rapidly and we look forward to the day when we don't have to be there and hopefully iraq can live their own lives and they can defend themselves which they have been doing long before we got involved. yes, please. >> about the bounties, you say you hit back hard but we haven't seen any definitive strike back for bounties upon americans. >> you don't know about the bounties. you tell me, if you know something you can know but you don't know very much about it but if that would be true, if we found that would be a very -- it would be a fact, what you just said, we would hit them so hard your head would spin. >> mr. president, how do you see the role of the kurds in iraq and relationship between baghdad and -- >> the kurds helped us greatly defeating the isis and getting the isis 100% of the isis caliphate so we have a very good relationship with the kurds and treated them very well. >> mr. president? >> mr. president? >> yes, please. >> the end of the militia roles in iraq is very important to

in iraq. to get one vote. is concerned they saw that as a defeat for the united states and a victory for iran. i mean how significant is that. significant because they've been named after 2 individuals that the united states assassinated back in january the commander of the goods force general for the money and one of the commanders of the popular iraqi popular mobilization units. now these in defiance of the united states calls for iran to stop its ballistic missile program in fact one of the reasons donald trump thought the 2015 nuclear deal wasn't a good one is because it didn't include iran's ballistic missile program no president has done wrong he has been speaking he had made this announcement of these 2 missiles a day before iran's national defense state and he also boasted about iran's defense industry moving up the world rankings from 23 to 14 and no doubt that will be seen by the. great source of great source of pride but again this is an act of defiance by iran and this latest ballistic missile is o

troops out of iraq but they're not leaving iraq what's going on. well there are a couple of them for an interest that have the. u.s. military still there in iraq number one in its position next to neighboring iran the u.s. seeming to feel there is a need to keep some of those soldiers there as a deterrence the other interest is oil and of course iraq is a major oil producing nation and that is a valued interest to the united states as well 1 in terms of stability so we heard a couple of interesting things coming out of the oval office meeting between the iraqi prime minister and the u.s. president i think what's most interesting is that it was very clear coming from the iraqi prime minister he did not mince words speaking through an interpreter he was very clear that he does not want his country to be used as a platform he said for attacks on neighbors not mentioning iraq specifically but it's very clear that there was a message there the united states cannot use iraq for its proxy war with iran we're furring to of course the u.s. joe drone strike

we've been in iraq a long time. i won't say whether or not we should be there but frankly i didn't think it was a good idea but i was a civilian so who is going to listen to me. i made my point pretty clear as much as a civilian can do it. we've been there, we're getting out, we'll be leaving shortly, the relationship is very good, we're making very good oil deals, our oil companies are making massive deals and, uh, that's basically the story. we're very -- we're very happy with the relationship we've developed over the last couple of years. i thought before that, frankly, the united states was being taken advantage of. but we're, uh, going to be leaving and hopefully we're going to be leaving a country that can defend itself. >> reporter: mr. president, on the troops, mr. president -- >> reporter: there are air strikes on northern iraq in the kurdistan region, killing one civilian. i know in your talks, in your meetings here you talk a lot about the sovereignty of iraq. is that something you're looking for help fro

in iraq the prime minister of course it was a u.s. supported came to power with the help of semi iranians. iran is supporting detox. we are seeing some ambiguous but some positive moves out of yemen. do you believe iran is pulled back in the region since soleimani was killed? >> we have seen a change in their tempo. with their proxies. i think the president, he did the strikes on has below, he had a few strikes in iran and syria. after the americans were killed on december twice seventh and attack organized by soleimani, the president hit some has below sites. israel striking so we have seen the tactical displacement of troops and iranian forces in syria we are very pleased with how the has organized his government crackdown has below early. we have seen a collapse among the iraqi people for tolerance of our iranian interference. and iran knows it's now playing a very weak hand and iraq. a tone of me as an expression of that. there were huge, and october massive protests in lebanon and also had a huge protest and ira iraq. what we see

he commanded forces of the persian gulf war, the war in afghanistan and the iraq war. he has been all spoken recently about the president's use of military troops and domestic unrest in washington. please join me now in welcoming doctor robert gaetz and general james mattis for the very unique conversation. >> thank you, doctor, it's a pleasure to be here with the commonwealth club, it's been devoted to finding proof with over 100 years, we all recognize that he grew into his leadership role with a wealth of background in a very tough position. secretary yates is my former boss, predecessor in office and inspiring role model, he was i in one recent review of the foot soldier who rises in command and reading your book, one that i would be reassured or required reading for president and cabinet officers when they come into office, i was struck by you attributing a large part of america's 25 year decline and status and prestige and his failure of post-cold war president and congress to recognize resource and offensively use what you call personal nonmilitary instruments o

is the legacy of the war in iraq? guest: the legacy is what we heard before i got on the air with people talking about their conspiracy theories related to mail-in ballots and there has been a war on truth made possible by the recognition that the u.s. government was not on the level with us after iraq. it became possible then for a reality tv show star with zero political experience to say during the republican primaries, look at you guys with all your experience. what did that get us? you guys have done nothing and lead us into this phony war based on phony facts. now president trump has been -- do noty that believe the mainstream media who got it wrong. do not believe the intelligence community. believe me. believe my alternative facts. that is one legacy. on the international front, the middle east is still -- has still been destabilized. and allianceica with america, which was at an all-time high after 9/11, has completely plummeted as a result. when we look at iraq itself, it is a country that is in turmoil. a c

and out of world news iraq's prime minister has announced a general election next june which will be a year earlier than scheduled cademy the prime minister promised an early vote when he took office in may months of anti-government demonstrations demanded early elections protesters want a government overhaul and an end to corruption and sectarianism or less speak to ray not months or about this he's in london and he's the director of the iraq initiative at the think fat think tank chatham house thank you so much for being with us tonight this was a key demand of anti-government protesters you think this announcement of early elections will appease them will it help me gain more public support. well most of the media as you know have not even been having a support 100 days yet he came in promising reform and a whole host if you look at his government of a whole host of different types of reform he didn't really talk as much about elections or early elections as you were trying to fight corruption and those bigger demands but i think it's been a very rocky sort of premiership for him

and now we're working with iraq. they use the great american dollar which is the most powerful currency in the world, and they're starting to do well. and we are with them, and this gentleman in particular, we've developed a very good relationship. hopefully it's going to be very strong for your country. [inaudible conversations] >> thank you, mr. president. there have been several attacks in the last ten months on u.s. interests in -- [inaudible] how are you going to help iraq to hold these attacks by iranian militias and to hold these people accountable? and third if i may also, there was some report that the u.s. talks will withdraw from -- troops will withdraw from iraq totally in three years. is this true? >> so at some point we obviously will be gone. we've brought it down to a very, very low level. when there are attacks, we take care of them very easily. nobody has the weaponry we have, nobody has the -- anything. of what we have, we have the finest, the greatest military in the world. when somebody hits us,

he is responsible for the deaths of 603 americans in iraq. that obviously means thousand were injured, some permanently. to sort of accept your analysis in rejecting the model you have to look at some of the polls and other things in iraq some of this is facing an economic crisis worse than 41 years and a crisis of legitimacy and credibility with their own people. the regime today clings to power the force and these are not things we were talking about three and a half years ago. representative jane harmon, you have the floor. you can start your video if you like. >> i'm doing fine. the center is lucky to have you as a friend. i have a question and i asked the first part of it yesterday in another panel and that is how you accept the capacity now of our intelligence community. i think a lot of senior folks have left the region and i worry we've lost the experience to not only collect the truth, but speak truth to power and that is crucially important. my second question how are you handling the choices of the arms race in the greater middle e

has been on islamic state within its epicenter its core as it were in iraq and syria. yes so much expertise in this young in my way of gas and also on type as well as it can be a real think tank about what is happening with i still write a mint can you just give us your take on when there is a major event a big story that takes countries attention away from maybe dealing with issues where is groups except what happens with those groups and people are not paying attention to them. well in the case of islamic state take the case resigning state they themselves. have commented on the corona virus pandemic and how it's caught the attention of the world. but they themselves had their own view of it evolved over time it thursday actually they were quite cautious about about the coronavirus pandemic warning against the idea that it was necessarily a punishment from god against the norm. because they said it's possible this could infect in fact muslims as well so precautions need to be taken but then over time is the growing virus in increasingly to get the end epicenters of t

now we're working with iraq. they use the great american dollar, the most powerful suren see in the world and they are starting to do well. and we are with them and this gentleman in particular we've developed a very good relationship and hopefully it is going to be very strong for your country. >> there have been certain attacks in the last 10 months on u.s. interests in iraq particularly in the green zone and u.s. military bases. how will you help iraq to hold these attacks by pro-iranian militia and hold these people accountable? if i may also there was some reporting u.s. troops would withdraw from iraq totally. >> president trump: at some point we will be gone. we deal when there are attacks. we take care of those attacks and take care of them very easily. nobody has the weapons we have and nobody has anything of what we have. we have the finest, the greatest military in the world. when somebody hits us, we hit back harder than they hit us. we handle it. in addition to that iraq has been very helpful where n

in iraq u.s. forces have already started to withdraw from several bases over the past few months prime minister says the withdrawal needs to be balance though with iraq's security needs well because that in this planet up it we will not allow any attack on iraq's sovereignty similarily we cannot allow iraq to become a platform for any hostile act against any of our neighbors i believe all the parties are aware of the conditions and circumstances of iraq we are keen on ensuring our sovereignty and we cannot allow iraq to be a platform for any threats to any country in the region especially the turks israel has again launched air strikes against hamas sites in the gaza strip the military says it was in response to rocket fire and incendiary balloons israel has bombed almost every night for the last 2 weeks it's also time for the 3rd tightens the 13 year old blockade by suspending fuel shipments and restricting fishing. they've been warlord honey for half his maintaining his blockade on oil output af

by 1990, iraq was bankrupt. saddam appealed to neighbouring kuwait for financial help, but they turned him down insultingly. in a fury, he ordered his generals to invade. with full un support, president george bush, seen here, put together a coalition of countries to liberate kuwait. iraq will not be permitted to annex kuwait. and that's not a threat, it's not a boast, it'sjust the way it's going to be. the coalition took only 100 hours to destroy the iraqi forces in kuwait. at the moment, we are waiting for the american bombers to come. all the firing that's going on, there is a great deal of it, is just pretty wildly up in the air. but they stopped short of invading iraq itself. kuwait is once more in the hands of kuwaitis. the elder president bush was a very wise man, and very well versed in international matters. and he would have realised that if he had gone to baghdad, that would have been the easy part. it was what you then do when you've got rid of a government and created a political vacuum. slowly, and

has been on islamic state within its adversaries its core as it were in iraq and syria. yes a much expertise in this young if i way of i guess and also on tape as well as it can be a real think tank about what is happening with i still write a mint can you just give us your take on when there is a major of thing a big story that takes countries attention away from maybe dealing with issues where is groups except what happens with those groups and people are not paying attention to them. well in the case of islamic state take the case resigning state they themselves. have commented on the corona virus pandemic and how it's caught the attention of the world. but they themselves had their own view of it evolved over time it thursday actually they were quite cautious about about the coronavirus pandemic warning against the idea that it was necessarily a punishment from god against the norm most parents because they said it's possible this could infect in fact muslims as well so precautions need be taken but then over time is the growing virus in increasingly to get the end e

why i think hashem the trend is the same in iraq or like other countries actually we have 2 phases the 1st one was actually with the lockdown that when it's actually very weird actually we had the really very low number or full infection and we have several cases very low number of severe cases and the death rate was a few be very low and that's sort of that they think their economy can social pressure get and they think maybe like the other countries the u.s. and hong kong we loosen up the placenta up a little bit and the what's happened people went out to work and have forgotten bob lots of gesture that we're all really get to read and we're very important to to to have and they think what's happened we have an increasing number of infected people and of course like other countries the western countries when you get the number with an increasing number of for the infected people definitely you will get a some severe cases and the mortality rates will be increased that's what's happened and actually morrocco got to the point where we have a partial lockdown we have some cities we had

in iraq and they build a strong relations with the tribes in iraq in the light of what's happening basically and the failure of the liver to the arabs and stablish with so-called as they and the hashemite basically have good linkage with arab nationalism in iraq all of this together help to mobilize people and i have 1900 of illusion. in maine 1920 the iraqis a mix of kurds sunny our robes and shia began peaceful protests in baghdad. the british arrested the leaders. and sponsored filings confrontation. they then crushed the iraqi oil pricing with overwhelming force. $2200.00 british and indian soldiers were killed. but around 8 and a half 1000 iraqis were killed or wounded. by now many arabs were starting to look back on ultimate rule as preferable to being under the british and french mandates. that arab people believe that they could seek greater ties with the turkish people because most arab people saw the turks as fellow muslims who are fighting a similar issue european occupation. but the defeated autumn ones were also facing a changed world. 5 countries occupied parts of present day t

disturbing parallel between the british experience in iraq and the british created iraq and some justification, you cannot argue that iraq is a geographic unit but they created a country with many people that we know about this yet in the sunnis but we know about the cruise religious divisions, ethnic divisions and people with different historical traditions and people tend to be more influenced by iran or the people in the north be ten to be influenced by turkey. they created a country which was a tricky country and they thought this is after the first world war and they thought they could rented tree plea, they thought they could find a local were a few locals and they also thought with the superior technology they would have no true getting the resistance of the opposition. history never repeats itself but you see rather disturbing analogies and i think we can say in retrospective toys easy but perhaps united states and the coalition would interact think it is good to be be easier than it was and perhaps they should've been more wary because of the precedents. >> what impact and what happen
