al-qaeda has really rebuilt a safe haven on the pakistan side of the border. hamid karzai is beginning to show signs of corruption and resistance to working with the united states on some things. so, clearly we were persuaded that more resources were going to be necessary in afghanistan and so what president obama does right off the bat, he approves 20,000 troops or so requested and they get there in the spring and summer and sam mcchrystal to be the general there and we get a request for actually 80,000 troops was the actual request, but i think mcchrystal, knowing that that was going to be impossible, ended up revising it to 40,000 troops. and then we have this deliberative period of time before i authorize-- and peter's points, second, third, fourth ordered questions, before i send these troops and authorize this surge i want us to step back and consider what are our objectives, what can be achieved in afghanistan, what other tools need to come into play here, and essentially what obama was persuaded of, was the fact that if we didn't send that surge now, t

we did go from wedding to get rid of al qaeda to trying to make it a better place. you can say that was always silly was how the british and soviet experiences. i was born outpl of the idea we want to make it a better place to a 5 million people are now on force the back and a horrific repressive country on the girls or women we told to take them off and go to school are now no longer able to do that there's a real trade-off on the problemt s the president can't say that or doesn't feel comfortable saying were going to go to afghanistan will get rid of the al qaeda it's okay women are oppressed their the 12 men girls and women are going to have to remain second-class citizens and essentially slaves and were not going to do anything about it. it's against our grain it's american against the american going to say that out loud and acknowledge that the reality of the choices we are making. obama feared it would be obama's vietnam and you confirmed out the other history took i think he wrote this in the speech he gave at west point was eisenhower which isas the natios o

it's not just the 3,000 americans who were killed by al qaeda. al qaeda was responsible for tens of thousands of deaths of other people around the world. al qaeda helped spark the civil war where iraqis died. he's not a hero. he's not some serious thinker. the letter itself, im i'm not sure was written by bin laden or he had other people helping him. because it also focused on some other issues that bin laden didn't typically focus on. he talks about american tolerance for homosexuality, the drug culture in the west, global warming, that u.s. is responsible, et cetera. these were not issuing that bin laden really cared about. he did care about the palestinian issue and that's how the letter begins. in other statements, he emphasized that. it was kind of core to his reason he was attack ing the united states. that is true. >> in your cnn.com piece, i'm going to put a photoaragraph on screen. you noted the following on what you just said. certainly, bin laden himself was very focused on the palestinian issue. as a teenager, he would gather friends

we are trying to destroy al qaeda in iraq and places like falluja and mosul and so forth.e not to oppose us or even to help us. you have to show that life is going to be better and rebuilding these areas, keeping the hospitals open but under control, we secure hospitals. the first objective we had in the final effort to clear falluja of al qaeda was a hospital. to control it, to make sure it was there for the civilians who were inevitably going to be wounded and also that it was not a source of disinformation. showing what the future could be like after hamas is gone could start and should start what israel has actually cleared, you can allow people back in. you have to control the access and egress of those areas. edward: the attacks we are seeing by iranian proxies in syria and iraq, there 64, 65 attacks and the us has had back four times. a proxy also has hijacked a ship near the suez canal. what should the response be to get these proxies to stop this behavior? >> it is a delicate issue because what the us wants to do is reduce this and protect our forces. we are takin

they were central to get a release for five senior taliban and al qaeda leaders. this is not new territory for qatar. we know they are also good at protecting hamas leaders. many of them are billionaires living in qatar, so that is why qatar was a natural for this. they have a track record and history of accomplishing behind the scenes international settlements on hostage release. host: again, dan o'shea here for this conversation. you can call the line and send your thoughts. let's start with charles in florida. you are on with dan o'shea. caller: caller: i am a palestinian american and i am pro a two state solution. i was in jerusalem when they signed a two state solution. i saw the arabs going into the israelis going into the arab sections in the arabs going to the israeli sections. everything was fine until an israeli killed bein.everyone was happy in israel and they went back to taking settlements and taking land. i was there when the palestinian kids were shot for throwing rocks. basically, they have 10,000 palestinian hostages in prison, half of them we kno

"all of these, whether isis, whether al-qaeda, whether the kontras, or whether zionism, they were supported by western intelligence agencies, they were supported by these amoral bodies that have done nothing but harm to the international community, they are, they have no religion, they have no dignity, they have nothing, they're just, yes, selfish corrupt." bodies, groups of people, individuals that that are destroying the world, and we are seeing it happen as you and i speak, as you and i speak, people are dying, yes, it's horrible, by the time this interview ends, we're going to have more dead people in gaza, we're going to have more mamed people in gaza, and and then the survivors, richard, what are they going to be like? will they be able to go back to normality? i i still have the scars of war, the the chemical weapons that western governments gave to saddam hussain to use against uh iranians and iraqis. i still have those scars, the the scars of war, seeing people, friends, killed, martered by through weapon by weapons given to saddam hussein by these regimes. these are scars that peo

that is how we went from al-qaeda to i.s.i.s..errorists, and they can be replaced, even for the radicalization. the palestinian authority is corrupt, they've been weakened for years, they've been humiliated from within their -- >> and often cases, not trust by their on people. . >> not. trusted so, to answer your question, there is a very capable palestinian civil society. you have interviewed some of them. there are doctors, lawyers, there are social entrepreneurs, there are people with extraordinary talent. not just in the palestinian diaspora, in the west bank, and in gaza. if they were allowed, and given the resources to try to develop an alternative leadership that is committed to peace and coexistence, that is represented sting the people, it is not for a lack of people i think one step forward. i think it's just that they've been kept down by their own leadership to be clear, and frankly will be comfortable getting a corrupt reluctantly tomas sitting in the west bank in ramallah, 87 years old, not really delivering anything

had nothing to do with islam, all of these all of these, whether isis, whether al-qaeda, whether the contras, or whether zinism, they were supported by western intelligence agencies, yep, they were supported by these amoral bodies that have done nothing but harm to the international community, they are, they have no religion, they have no dignity, they have nothing, they're just, yes, selfish. corrupt bodies, groups of people, individuals that that are destroying the world, and we are seeing it happen as you and i speak, as you and i speak, people are dying, yes, it's horrible, by the by the time this interview ends, we're going to have more dead people in gaza, we're going to have more mamed people in gaza, and and then the survivors, richard, what are they going to be like? will they be able to go back to normality? i i still have the scars of war, the the chemical weapons that western governments gape to saddam hussain to use against uh iranians and iraqis, i still have those scars, the the the scars of war, seeing people, friends killed, martered by through weapon by weapons give

have you seen in your reporting how integrated al qaeda is? doesn't seem accurate? do you have anything to weigh in? >> up until now, we haven't. we are aware of the un reporting that we have not done any independent work on our own in that area. >> what would be the process to help you do some independent work there? >> the committee can ask us to do it. i've never refused. >> i will certainly work with of the chairman to ask you to do that. we have reporting of the un reporting the taliban is using the al qaeda training manuals that are 30 to 60 in afghanistan, 400 al qaeda fighters living in afghanistan training camps, welfare payments, suicide training. so i would certainly hope that your office would start digging into that. >> can i mention one thing we have been digging into and again that is from our outreach program is how the taliban are shutting down regular schools and forcing the kids to go to these basically focused on radicalization. my staff that went down were talking to a number of people particularly concerned about this. you will have a whole new

al qaeda issued its most specific call to attack the united states in the past five years. al qaeda and the reagan peninsula called on jihadists to attack americans and jewish people everywhere. isis urged its followers to target jewish communities in the united states and europe. given those calls for action, our most immediate concern is that individuals or small groups will draw twisted inspiration from the events in the middle east to carry out attacks here at home. that includes home grown violent extremists inspired by a foreign terrorist organization and domestic violent extremists targeting jewish americans or other faith communities like muslim americans. across the country, the fbi has been aggressively countering violent by extremists citing the ongoing conflict as inspiration. in houston we arrested a guy studying bomb making and posted about killing jewish people. outside chicago we've got a federal hate crime investigation into the killing of a 6-year-old muslim boy. at cornell university, we arrested a man who threatened to kill members of that university's j

s reporting the taliban is using al-qaeda training manuals that are 30 to 60 senior al-qaeda officials in afghanistan, 400 al-qaeda fighters, living in afghanistan, training camps, welfare payments, suicide training, so i would certainly hope that your office would start digging into that. >> well, can i just mention, one thing we have been digging into and that's again, from our outreach program, is how the taliban are shutting down regular schools and forcing the kids to go to these super-duper ma drasses focused on radicalization. >> radicalization. >> and actually, my deputy and my staff that were down in houston were talking to a number of people and they are particularly concerned about this because you're going to have a whole new generation of afghans who have been educated on becoming terrorists, little terrorists and that's our big concern. >> and billions of our taxpayer funded weapons and now with taxpayer funded aid that is being diverted. thank you, mr. sopko and i now recognize ms. titus. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you to the witness. through the course of the hea

1,000, 1,000 innocent lives lost, including at least 27 americans, these guys make uh... the they make al-qaeda stands with israel, united states stands with israel. they think they've done a good thing because they don't have to look in the eyes of these mothers who know they are going to die, who are going to die before their children's justices delivered the truth about their child who was not a gun man or a gun woman who was not someone that the british army could just take away and snuff out their life and then cover up the files and hide them away for until 2064 or 2070. those women know they're going to die without having any of truth and without any justice. chris eat and harris doesn't have to look into any of their eyes and it doesn't matter if it was the british army or the rc or the ira or loyalist that took those lives. those loved ones mattered and those families matter and what this is doing is inhumane in in an extraordinary way that no one in a developed country in 2023 should even be. nos encontramos en exclusiva con exclusive dialogue with the former president of the cultural

but we should recall that the core objective related al qaeda was actually met. and while i don't necessarily believe that the the scale of the surge was necessary, i do believe actually that the central insight that president obama had out of that review was actually saying, we're going to ask our military to defeat the taliban, because that would require far more than this surge. that would basically require an open ended surge of an even scale that even that might fail. and so the narrowing of his objectives, al qaida, i think, explains how our policy, the way it did over the course of the eight years, because once that objective was on its path, where to be met is when we started drawing down. elizabeth, i wonder if you want to follow up on this, because i know you've written on some decision making and the afghanistan episode, and i wonder if it says anything larger about decision making the obama administration and responding to it. yeah, well, i mean, i've cited both peter and ben in my writing, so i don't really i mean, i think it's important to. you know

in an al-qaeda base in 1998.id, i predict a black day for america in which the states will no longer be united. he was encouraging revolution. he said, we beat a super power before, and the soviet union fell. he also said, and this is thematic to his letter. you will only understand this as a people when you find a government that represents your interests, instead of the jews. the antisemitic theme from osama bin laden started long before that world rediscovered this letter. but it's echoed in there. >> disturbing trend. john miller, thank you. >> thanks. >> ahead, it did not take long, only a few hours, after donald trump's gag order was lifted here in new york and he returned to social media attacking the very person he wawas barred f from attackcking. >> that didn't take long. tonight, online, donald trump is attacking the clerk of the judge overseeing his civil fraud trial here in new york. this time he won't face any repercussions, no fines, or reprimands from the judge here. that is because the judge is po

terrorist al-qaeda, isis, hamas, um, etc. um, i mean, this is just another um element of the lies that they have tried to spread. let's have look. i want to show you something exclusive. laura, so this is adolph hitler's book, translated to arabic, mine kamf. it's the book that led to the holocaust and the book that led to world war ii. on one of the on the body of one of the uh terrorists and murderers of... and he even marked, he wrote notes, he marked, he marked and and learned and learned again and again adol of hitler's ideology of hating the jews, of killing the jews, of burning the jews, of slaughtering the jews, this is the real warrior ac, so all those who demonstrated yesterday, i'm not saying that all of them support hitler, but all i'm saying is by by omitting to understand what khamas ideology is all about, the... basically supporting this ideology, seriously wonder if amazon delivers there, um, it's so so kind of the hamas operative to conveniently leave the book on his person, you know while he's fleeing for hi

and now you can destroy them, for example, as al-qaeda was at one time destroyed in syria and iraq, youtry to do that, but when it comes to hamas, the situation is completely different, it is a movement that is very integrated into palestinian society, because of the failure of the voslo accords, which aimed to create a palestinian state, and the vast majority of palestinians hoped that the end of suffering, and even the end of the occupation, had come, khaled al-haroub recalls the voslo agreement , concluded in 1993, when the leader of the palestinian liberation organization, yasser rafat, and the prime minister of israel, yitzhak rabin, signed a memorandum on the principles of coexistence of two states, jews and palestinians. for this attempt to establish peace, they even received the nobel peace prize. however, peace in the middle east never happened. the palestinian people found themselves in a dead end, lost hope, since 1993 there has been none, instead in everything opposite to their hopes has materialized, the deepening of the occupation, the expansion of settlements and all that

of particular concern are the isis and al qaeda affiliates in east and west africa, the al qaeda branch in yemen, and the isis branch operating out of afghanistan. more regionally, iran and its proxies are a significant concern, principally for their ability to generate attacks in the middle east that could have significant escalatory consequences. while we have no intelligence to indicate that iran or its proxies had foreknowledge of hamas's 7 october attack, we remain focused on iranian and iranian-linked activities in support of hamas and directed against the united states since the conflict's outbreak. already iranian-aligned militant groups have conducted over 24 attacks against u.s. forces in iraq and syria using rockets and unmanned aerial systems. this is in addition to the daily attacks on israel by lebanese hezbollah and at least three instances of israel-focused missile and uas s attacks by the yemen-based houthis. while they have the ability to conduct more sophisticated attacks, we suspect that iran, hezbollah, and linked proxies are attempting to calibrate activities, open

the victim and that they are the ones defending themselves from. these you know mastermind terrorist al-qaeda, isis, hamas um etc. um, and this is just another um element of the lies that they have tried to spread. let's have look. i want to show you something exclusive, laura. so this is adolph hitler's book, translated to arabic, minec. it's the book that led to the holoct and the book that led to world war ii. on one of the on the body of one of the uh terror. and murderers of hammas, and he even marked, he wrote notes, he marked, he marked and and learned and learned again and again out of hitler's ideology of hating the jews, of killing the jews, of burning the jews of slaughtering the jews, this is the real warrior act, so all those who demonstrated yesterday, i'm not saying that all of them support hitler, but all i'm saying is by by omitting to understand what khamas ideologi is all about, they're basically supporting this ideology, i seriously wonder if amazon delivers there, um, it's so so kind of the hamas operative to conveniently leave the book on his person, you know while he's

the words of al-qaeda former leader ringing true with some tiktok influencers, encouraging others to read it for themselves. get reaction from charlie hurt on how the twisted rhetoric is erupting here in the united states. >> sandra: but first, william is live in los angeles for us. what led to these viral videos? >> it all started with a 25-year-old l.a. influencer whose tiktok post on the bin laden letter went viral. so americans watch about 3 billion hours of tiktok every month, a third get their news there. and that's why this incident in the last 24 hours on social media scares a lot of people. the post linked to a letter written by bin laden 20 years ago on the web page of a british newspaper. says jews have no right to be in israel and blames america for the violence in the middle east. she says, i need everyone to stop wa they are doing right now and go read the letter. because "i'm going through like an existential crisis." well, people did. that video got some 2 million views and 200,000 likes with most saying they, too, feel angry, manipulated and lied to by the media, and

it's not al qaeda. it's not isis. it's not foreign islamic groups.oups, so-called militias, he made the point, which i thought was very powerful. he said, jewish americans make up 2.4% of the population. but they represent 60% of the religious terrorist threats against them. now, i'm not discounting islamophobia, which is huge, and also has increased since october 7th. but this one particular group is a focus of this, and the focus comes not just from these external groups, but from the internal american terrorist groups. >> among the rogue gallery. ken, it seemed at one point, marjorie taylor greene, she got a little confused about which agency the fbi director works for. let me play you that exchange. >> i posted them on my twitter account. it's public, you know, maybe -- >> i don't spend a lot of time on twitter. >> oh, i'm sure you do, because the department of homeland security organized with other offices has censured many americans, including myself. >> i'm not part of the department of homeland security. >> so lots there to unpack. the idea t

. >> john: al-qaeda terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people on september 11th, but some young americansre now discovering the terror group's ideology online and seem to be eating it right up. they are talking about it on tiktok, where videos of young people urging others to read osama bin laden's infamous letter to america became very popular amongst some people. some influencers seem to suggest bin laden may have been justified in attacking america. the trend has been denounced by many, including the white house. and tiktok has removed the related # and videos from its platform. "new york post" sums it up, world gone mad men, calling it a shocking new low. but more americans are getting news or what they think is news of platforms like tiktok. >> tiktok is the new google, where they get their information. >> that was the education secretary. so, with these videos flying around, how are september 11th families feeling about it all? let's bring in bret eagleson, 15 years old when his father was killed on 9/11, and terri strata lost her husband in the attacks. let me play one of these inf

al qaeda issued its most specific call to attack the united states in the past five years.peninsula called on jihadists to attack americans and jewish people everywhere. >> and if you listen carefully there, he wasn't saying that he's concerned that al qaeda cells are going to infiltrate the united states. he's concerned about the inspiration coming from these groups who are flooding social media with violent propaganda, and the effect of that on lone extremists in the united states and we have seen examples of this over the years and they're very worried right now about potential attacks. jose? >> ken dilanian, thank you very much. >>> coming up, what happens now that the house has passed a bill to avert a government shutdown? plus, listen to this, a senator and a union leader challenge each other to a fight, the former house speaker is accused of elbowing another lawmaker, a congressman calls another lawmaker a smurf. what the heck is going on? >> this is one of the dumbest i've seen in quite a long time. i've seen in quite a long time she runs and plays like a puppy agai

it worked pretty effectively for us in undermining al qaeda's leadership. i think that israel can hopefully use some of the same tactics. now, it's not going to be as easy. there are a lot of tunnels in southern gaza that have to be dealt with. there's a lot of places where hamas can hide and where the hostages can be placed. it's going to be a lot more difficult. i think it does depend on a process of getting good intelligence now. getting the kind of intelligence you absolutely need in order to identify targets rather than just bombing the hell out of the place. >> leon panetta, thank you for now. i'm going to ask you to stay with us, if you will, we have more for you coming up. >>> one of the most influential and controversial figures in the history of american policy dies at 100 years of age. a look back at henry kissinger's life and legacy in just 60 seconds. in just 60 seconds.

including babies there and this al-qaeda state entered florida and raped women and murdered parentsfront of their children and vice versa and burnt them. would anyone ask america to cease fire against this al-qaeda statesome. >> i'm sure you're concerned about that tax revenue -- >> let me, let me -- >> do you want to clear the air and condemn -- i understand there are deep root causes, but -- [inaudible conversations] it would just be a very quick answer. elizabeth: yeah, he wouldn't give it. he said, no, i'm not going to condemn it. what do you think, brent? is. >> oh, nothing is surprising in any of that. one, israel's military, thankfully, is continuing on with operations as the priority, and none of this politics and diplomacy is getting in the way of military operations. they've gotten to a tactical, sense call pause moment. and only at that time should it be entertained. hamas is on the back foot, and hay these to stay on that, and the objective is the utter destruction of hamas as a military or a terrorist organization in gaza and certainly not as a governing entity there. b

al qaeda issued its most specific call to attack the uniteded states in the last five years but isis urged his followers to target jewish communities in the united states and europe. hezbollah has publicly expressed its support for hamas and threaten to attack u.s. interests in the middle east. and we have seen an increase in attacks on u.s. military bases overseasy is carried out by militia groups backed by iran. here in the united states are mostmm immediate concern is the violent extremists, individuals or small groups would draw inspiration from the events in the middle east to carry out attacks against americans going about their daily lives. that includes not just homegrown violent extremists inspired by foreign terrorist organizations but domestic violent extremists extremisttargeting jewish or mum communities. we've already seen that with individual we arrested last week in houston who'd been studying how to build a bombs and posted online about his support for killing and the tragic killing of a 6-year-old muslim boy and illinois what we are investigating is a federal hate c

. >> reporter: the fbi director also said al qaeda and isis have called for attacks on the u.s. but said at this time they're not tracking any imminent, credible threats. norah. >> scott macfarlane on the hill for us, thank you so much. >>> tonight we're getting a clearer picture of the warning signs some going back months that perhaps could have prevented the mass shooting in maine that killed 18 people. cbs's jeff pegues reports families are asking why more wasn't done. >> bill was his hero. >> reporter: rob young's older brother, bill, and his 14-year-old nephew, aaron, were enjoying a father/son night out last wednesday when the gunman burst into the bowling alley and started shooting. >> it's a tragedy that it had to be at a bowling alley where any were taken. >> reporter: he's frustrated enough wasn't done to stop robert card before the deadly rampage. >> are you frustrated, angry? >> honestly, i can't get angry because i'll snap. i'm trying really hard not to -- not to dwell too hard on it. you know, he killed one of our children. >> reporter: in newly released documents,

this is not unlike what we saw with the taliban and al qaeda. the taliban in particular, kept leadership in qatar and taliban and al qaeda all kept the senior leaders and the comfort of pakistan while the fighters were in afghanistan. and, of course, iran, you know, executes all of their operations through proxy forces located out there and gives orders from the safety of tehran. this is, i think, very common to these types of organizations. >> in terms of the organizations, you have such a unique perspective. you've been inside a hezbollah tunnel in northern israel. the we saw the video about the hamas training camp. that took him to in gaza. when you look at that, your experience, what stands out to you in that video? >>. >> first of all that, is not dissimilar to what we would do with our forces. creating multiforce structures to allow our troops to train. this is exactly what they're trying to do. i think what it dmemonstrates i the sophistication of the organizations. they're not stagnant. they learn. they're innovative. they make good uses

these guys make, they make al-qaeda look pure, they're pure, they're pure evil.

al qaeda and isis are not destroyed. in many places throughout the world, they continue to expand. cannot destroy terrorism with military means alone. the military can only shape and contain and set the conditions for what must ultimately be a political and humanitarian resolution. that's why the protection of civilians in conflict zones everywhere, particularly in gaza in this instance, has to be front and center. with very to make sure that everybody is doing everything possible to protect civilians in that they -- we actually create the conditions for ultimately the palestinian people to be safe and secure and for the israeli people to be safe and secure. >> let me follow up on that. now you have israeli officials saying they're focusing more on southern gaza now for its military offensive. that is, of course, where it has been telling palestinians to go for shelter as it was attacking the north. do you think israel is doing enough to protect civilians? >> i've been pushing very hard on every front, the administration, israelis. we know hamas will do nothing. hamas is a terroris

would anyone ask america to cease fire against this al qaeda state. it's on our border.that we can live with this state. if they just have good enough lives, they'll get off our case. we have no territorial claim to gaza. we gave them 100% of gaza, we pulled out the soldiers, but they created a nightmare. israel cannot tolerate anymore of this hamas on our border. and the best way to do way with all the suffering is to denazify gaza by eliminating hamas. >> there needs to be a form of government that's not hamas in gaza but that's functional, and that gazans need to have their own nation. they need to have ports. they need to have everything that a nation enjoys on their land. you don't agree with that, do you? >> we tried precisely that. i want to be clear to the viewers. in 2005, until 2005, israel occupied gaza. in 2005, we pulled out of gaza, back to the 1967 borders. we handed the entire territory over to the palestinian authority. mahmoud abbas. there was no blockade, nothing. they had the chance to form the palestinian state that everyone's talking about. no one s

opportunity to disrupt the american goals in designing and creating dangerous terrorist groups such as al-qaeda , daesh, jahut al-nusra and tahrir al-sham in the west asian region, especially in iraq. and i will pay the same in syria official reports in the syrian crisis, the united states supported rebel proxy groups against the legitimate government of syria and avoided direct conflict with the syrian army and forces. on april 6, 2017, by the order of president trump, the us navy sent 59 cruise missiles from its two destroyers in the mediterranean to syrian air bases, which were fighting isis and terrorist groups and their own land. this open support of america to terrorist groups is the document of direct support of america to its puppet terrorists in syria and finally the judge of the case announced the end of the investigation. the american government and other readers have not sent a bill to defend themselves to this court , the hearing will be closed. more than 600 people brought their lawsuits against america to the court, which, of course , will be followed up in international forums a
