the story of the robbers. peter told me in doha with your top stories from al-jazeera turkey's electoral board says the president right up top are the one has won the election with almost all the votes counted his main rival marine in che came second with thirty percent of the pro kurdish h.t.t.p. is set to become the third largest party in parliament jamal al shiloh has more now from the ruling a k p headquarters in ankara. despite a lot of the reports in the lead up to sunday's vote fame and it was going to be a tightly contested election president projects a bit over one only he did the first round. and she secured a second term as president you're now the difference between a man and across the system i don't think a repeat ten million votes now in the first statement made by president but the

favored one those results came he said that she was the president for full charge she promised that he would not allow for anybody to be discriminated against inside surjeet just because of their political leaders who they voted for their ethnic background there obviously when it comes with a background one of the ethnic minorities just like you to go to my knowledge you found sunday to be a joyful day for them because their parties if you wanted to cross the ten percent just holding secure places parliament obviously these elections on sunday were not just for the presidency they were for the parliament as well it turns out the heart of it she votes yes party boss maintaining simple majority in the legislative body the new body which now has six hundred m.p.'s in its as opposed to five hundred in the previous one another positive thing in terms of the democratic makeup in turkey because it secures. they took more diverse representation while the act party

meeting their majority there but they lost their super majority the two thirds majority which would allow for them to continue in terms of making fun situational changes so that's something that they will try and play down but obviously is seen as a setback for them now moving forward this is going to be a new era for turkey it is the first time they have an executive presidency a lot of the powers will be concentrated in it's obviously the parliament still has the ability to get rid of the president if they see fits and it will require votes from the members of parliament there but i do and speaking to the crowds after that victory said that she was cool or promised that she was going to transform turkey it's one of the ten most powerful nations on earth he said this was a victory for all turks because obviously the high voter turnout close to ninety percent as he said observers are putting that to roughly about eighty six eighty seven percent something much greater than many of the other more established democracies not just in the region but obviously in western europe so

a significant day a significant election to say the least here and so on. hundreds of african migrants have been rescued by the libyan coast guard in the mediterranean sea dozens of women and children were on those saved in the first operation the day they were taken to a naval base in the capital tripoli and then a refugee camp in the town of columns one of those rescue said an italian vessel had refused to pick them up sixteen e.u. leaders have held emergency talks on migration ahead of a major summit later this week it's the latest attempt to ease the deadlock who should take an migrants and refugees landing on european soil. hundreds of yemenis are fleeing their homes in who data as fighting moves closer to the city center the saudi and iraqi led coalition has been bombing the port city for the past twelve days to drive out hoofy rebels at least six civilians have been killed in the southern syrian province of the rod with activists reporting dozens of strikes and

barrel bombs. government forces are making advances in the rebel held territory which borders jordan with russia providing air support for the offensive there are is the last rebel stronghold in the southwest of syria president trump says any migrants who as he put it invade the u.s. should be sent home without appearing before a judge he's continuing his hardline rhetoric on migration despite a u. turn on separating children from their parents the government's now trying to reunite the families in a remote detention center those are the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after taliban oil by.

who started this thing i know who the taliban were and i didn't know how radical they were just what they were about. one of the things of the talabani is is they they didn't have a clue about oil and gas business the idea was was to bring him over and establish credibility with it with the taliban that we were a real company. multi-million

secretly invited to a group of taliban leaders to unit cows headquarters in sugar land texas. no press covered the event. i have some the statues that i got in indonesia and their figures and the people carved out of ironwood and the people are naked. and i had one of these professors islamic professors check my house out when he saw these things he said i don't think that's going to work with the dollars bond. said well with this you got some black trash bags in the adhesive put workers on the spot that's what they did with the burgers on the statue. and. marty miller was vice president of oil company unocal. they wanted to build

a huge oil and gas pipeline through taliban controlled areas of afghanistan. but how did these negotiations influence us foreign policy towards the taliban. and. i am. lucky. enough can capital of kabul is preparing for a new iraq foreign forces mostly was drawn from the afghan soldiers and police will

now be responsible for security in the country. but in twenty fourteen five thousand of them were killed in battles against the taliban. but the taliban hasn't always been an enemy of the west today their former foreign secretary lives in a heavily guarded house in one of the couple's bettors suburbs. during the ninety's he was involved in discussions with the american oil company unocal. i will take my advice you more cause in a. blow the world out of new just four hundred. there are more than one jewish. but as if to say enough is on to the whole thought alluded to before political committee and that is that the he wants the it but the levy of it i took as long as

i was at it he out of it by the home spoke to us and with us he would have of my psyche of. those if i there was that they think it will last. since the soviet invasion of afghanistan in one nine hundred seventy nine the country has been in a state of constant warfare. during the afghan insurgency the mujahideen received extensive weapons support from the united states and britain in their struggle against the russians. and. the soviet occupation ended in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine. two years later the soviet union pulls some collapsed.

you know cows c.e.o. john i saw an opportunity in the full of the i am curtain. at the time the soviet union broke up and china opened up which shop and more last same time brought a very senior guy. around cruising the former soviet union to look for opportunities. we realize that turkmenistan had a huge world class gas reserves which were produced by the soviet union but after breaking up they were not produced any longer because russia had his own gas supplies to bring to market from siberia so mr john was stock was reserves and no market. unocal wanted to build two pipelines one for oil and one for gas the pipelines would go from many stunned through afghanistan pakistan and india a distance of well over seventeen hundred kilometers construction costs would be

close to ten billion dollars. of gonna stun could earn four hundred million dollars per year in transportation costs which would more than double the afghan government's income at that time the whole area is just in turmoil you know the pakistanis don't like the afghans afghans don't like the fact stan is the turkmen are skeptical of both of them and then he got india and pakistan all is just a mess in there. as he gets up there was a power vacuum off to the withdrawal of soviet forces and local schools foot of the territory in a for trusted civil war i. realize. it is only. in the north people gathered around the northern alliance and its leader ahmed shah

massoud the so-called lion of publishers. in the south and east another movement began to assert itself in s. nic past june areas. they called themselves the taliban and was supported militarily by. then in conflict with india. the pakistanis were trying to impose their will on the future of afghanistan and they wanted to ensure that afghanistan was not going to be a strong viable nation state that could in any way reconnect as they had in the past was india. taliban leader mullah mohammad omar was a war hero from the years of insurgency against the soviet union. pakistan decided it was going to assist all of all how it all modern this group which had no

name and what they provided was money on that front or a. training ammunition trucks tactical advice and then eventually they provided they call ups the students religious students afghans and pakistanis and ending what came to being thirteen thousand bhadra saw us was in the northwestern frontier province. and joining going in the fight. before becoming an attorney julie soon as worked as an intelligence analyst at the pentagon who sources in afghanistan warned against you know cows close relationship with the taliban. worldwide there is a very broad perception that unocal was wrecking with the u.s.

government to promote the taliban as the most likely source or as a stable single group in trolling afghanistan. and there was safe i think and after all. or hopefulness on the part of sound that if this pipeline could be put through it could be a source of stability or development for afghanistan and i personally don't like the idea that that stability would mean that the taliban would be in charge. with the civil war raging mahdi militia went on these first journey into afghanistan. at the time there were six or seven warlords that were feuding with each other and it was you know if afghanistan was not a real safe place to be. the first thing i noticed is the devastation. you

counter reminded me of the pictures i'd seen out of. germany pows world war two. the taliban headquarters it was it was a house that was still all intact but there weren't a stick of furniture in the house and all the we we slept on the floor and i and i had a it was kind a little traveling road show sort of thing course you would have slide projector yankers there were named electricity in the building but i had some diagrams and charts and sean and some things and some just basically to describe the project and and to tell them what the benefits would be and then they were very interested. the message was always if you guys will quit fighting with each other and form a government to get you in recognition that allows us to attract the world back to

me to be financial. then we may have a deal. but the taliban were on the offensive and drove the northern alliance concept of the cities of my zone in short the funds go boom. they don't control most of the country. mohammad's not too long president during the soviet occupation had been spared by the northern alliance but the taleban showed no mercy not below was first tortured cuss treated and then harmed alongside his brother. the execution was a clear sign of what kind of regime had seized power in kabul.

julie serves traveled in secrecy took a bill in one nine hundred ninety seven in order to learn more about the new regime . i had gone into kabul when i was held by the taleban secretly they dressed as as an afghan woman in a burka. they seemed very foreign to me certainly many asked answer conservative muslims but even among them they generally do not support the sort of extremism that the taliban stands for i see the taliban really is an alien force. their attitude toward women or a number of human rights issues i found disturbing but i think it was that larger political issue of them being back i had pakistanis that was most disturbing to me . not.

when the tide came in and called out did you kill your own good but you need to have a good experience with going to. the toilet on man said bitterly just today it's. still being learning in sin and it's in the mother so it's a curriculum did it was not keen to go to truth that it was a twelve day tonight central ministry that was the problem mark. america's concern about afghanistan had been minimal before the unocal pipeline project but on him and just negotiations spock's the clinton administration's interest in the country. i'd probably go to

washington d c o once every six state weeks and i would typically meet with the state department the n.s.a. the cia. the cia was was very very well for you know they have this shadowy image i guess you call of that i found very straightforward and very professional and i think the clinton administration was really committed to helping you know american business and be successful. we enjoyed and really strong support from the. unit wasn't the only oil company that wanted to build. pipeline in afghanistan option time company breed us was also trying to do a deal with the taliban. oh but he does win this fight and the meal was over and does so little stove ins of the hands of. the doomed is of no is this the president

had to let a. kid will come to the canoe deal with the results of that as. the taliban delegation arrived at unit house headquarters in december ninety ninety seven. martin came home one day and said that when jean thank about having a group of taliban and delegation come to our home for dinner. didn't know what to say at the time i had to thank it trail and i was pretty naive maybe they come in and say how americans home and realize that their. average regular people maybe it would you know be good for them to to do this and agree to do it.

on a multi million did their utmost to avoid offending the taliban and visitors and removed all the religious pictures and figures. but they did not remove the christmas trees the air that the taliban came to our house there was a charity fundraiser thing and we had seven christmas trees in our house and the tali bond just have blue their mind they can figure out what that was all about and i think they were trying to. make a connection between a christmas tree and the birth of jesus christ and you know that you just try to make a religious can. action with what's his christmas tree all about. they never did understand that thing. as a whole there was free because that is true too different from. eastern culture but

the phone to the nazis over the what is called us society and i'm part of this told me and knew i was in first and that. dressed in their newly acquired jackets the afghans visited one of you know cows offshore platforms. and fresh and i doubt as they were amazed they were stunned to see these platforms in the gulf of mexico over seven in like three hundred feet of water i think just the magnitude in the complexity of things and they were very well blown away by. the next leg of their journey to the visitors to omaha nebraska where they met one of america's foremost experts on afghanistan petroleum resources. the united states are trying their best to talk to the taliban who are obviously beginning to take

over the whole of afghanistan the state department asked me to talk to the taliban's and they brought them in here. and so this room instead of having guys in suits and ties like they always had before these were talabani and you know was co-captain turbans and long beards and i really had to say they were afghans no problem and so i told him i showed him all this neat whiz bang satellite imagery and stuff and if you're looking at our country we're looking at your country where you is and you can do this to show you how to do this all you need to do is come over here and get educated in this stuff. the taliban teams journey ended in washington d.c. where they met leading officials at the state department. the state department was still hopeful that this was going to be

a part of the international combined effort that would be profitable for unocal profitable for the afghans commercially and financially profitable for the afghans in terms of development and education profitable for the region. the tali bhangra interest in the project they were keen on making it happen they never did sign a cooperation agreement or anything like that because they were afraid to sign anything without knowing specifically that mullah omar was was behind it. there are hardly any pictures of the mysterious taliban leader. in these rare footage of him omar tries to hide behind a blanket. and . i was in khandahar the first time he was there and they kept saying that they were going to go talk i think they asked if i could go seen and they said no no no

. you're not seeing shots of to see them all over your. mind you know khalid was in dialogue with the taliban about the pipelines another actor began to assert himself in afghanistan will sum up bin laden. this song of a saudi construction millionaire was a local hero because he participated in the insurgency against the soviet union. in return to afghanistan in nine hundred ninety six after having be forced to leave the sudan. now he was preparing for a new war global jihad. wayne

started on capture the good hot in consequence a country that called deletions and see the phone it was some of the not any nice colleagues eager to sue the tiny one moved in to kind of not to be protected. as a rival back in afghanistan coincided with my own to work with the un. never met the salad that a lot of i saw months in the bazaar then as convoy car passing by but i never you know we didn't labor anything we didn't know each other were looking at the other so. that first year that he was in the area was the time when he's solidified his free lation ship was mullah mohammad omar. natoma and rid of the. sure there is

a lot of work to those little. why did you reach for the moon shot up of ice i just did it with the job too but when i'm going to must do more on the interview took on a whole almost sort of. in afghanistan multi millon and unocal how did the cia did the training of local workers who were to be employed on the so-called peace pipeline. we'd like our locally so you had employment opportunities for the afghans in fact one of the things we didn't khandahar as we established a training center we found an old abandoned warehouse that we outfitted then we brought some equipment in your welding equipment. tools that were needed for the training. without being aware of it marty miller had established his training center in the same street as a sawmill bin laden's house. and i'd never heard of the guy before i don't know who

it was looking back on it. kind of gives me the creeps this is think about how his act most of that. was some of bin laden was also busy building training facilities. that are over seven million lights in the school each one is still the same the monster the tool. quick next documentary to a whole thing you hired on as you see it on. july on al-jazeera in a new series of had to had mad to have been tackled the big issues with hard hitting questions mexico is getting ready for a general election what direction will the country take as it struggles with drug

he said i'll be here in doha with your top stories on al-jazeera turkey's electoral board says president wretch up tired but one has won the election with almost all the votes counted his main rival mohit i mean she came second with thirty percent of the pro kurdish h d p party is set to become the third largest party in parliament. socially girly be the winners of this election are the eighty one million turkish citizens of this country each and every one is a winner in this election everybody exercised their rights by going to the ballot boxes and casting their votes and i want to thank everybody you are writing history we've had a huge turnout in this election very few countries have had such high turnouts in theirs this shows how strong we are in our democracy and it shows how our people

defend democracy. hundreds of african migrants have been rescued by the libyan coast guard in the mediterranean sea dozens of women and children were among those saved in the third operation of the day they were taken to a naval base in tripoli and then a refugee camp in the town of columns one of those rescued said an italian vessel had refused to pick them up sixteen e.u. leaders have held emergency talks on migration ahead of a big summit later this week it's the latest attempt to ease the deadlock over who should take in migrants and refugees who land on european soil hundreds of yemenis are fleeing their homes in who data as fighting moves closer to the city center the saudi and m. iraqi led coalition has been bombing the port city for the past twelve days to drive out who the rebels are at least six civilians have been killed in the southern syrian province of to rob with activists reporting dozens of strikes and barrel bombs. government

forces are making advances in the rebel held territory which borders georgia with russia providing air support for the offensive iraq is the last rebel stronghold in the southwest of syria. the u.s. president donald trump says any migrants who as he put it invade the u.s. should be sent home without appearing before a judge he's continuing his hardline rhetoric on migration despite a u. turn on separating children from their parents the government's now trying to reunite the families in a remote detention center. those are your headlines so far today the news continues here on al-jazeera after taliban oil i will see you very soon. osama bin ladin was busy building training facilities. bin laden eventually became

responsible for organizing the flow of foreign fighters between chechnya bosnia and the arab world for the taliban these soldiers were useful reinforcements in the fight against the northern alliance this enabled been logging to strengthen his alliance with the taliban and to recruit soldiers for his holy war on the western world. was this your first post that idea that is this no yes but my video i think that there are. no survivors that are left out of government level found that what they're going by what their value in that you know if you but if you go below the roof and on and. on the seventh of august nine hundred ninety eight a bomb exploded at the u.s. embassy in nairobi. similar tenuously

a bomb detonated in neighboring towns and in two hundred twenty four people died in these terrorist attacks and building four thousand were injured. the i'll call you to trademark was established serial attacks triggered by suicide bombers. i don't think i was terribly surprised when i heard about what had happened because bin laden was there he was able to do it and man in this and he was tempted by the taliban. the young spy wanted to learn more about bin ladin and visited his enemies the northern alliance it was a perilous journey on horseback. along by roads. my interest in what was going on in the n.t. taliban areas because that was the area where we did not have a lot of them from ation in my sense from back in washington is that

a lot of officials and policy makers were just writing off the resistance to the taliban. she met northern alliance leader ahmad shah masood who asked for support from the west in the fight against the taliban and al qaida. during her visit serves go to unique insight into what was to come. northern alliance prisons were full of foreign fighters from several countries their goal was to participate in the global jihad. she was especially shocked by what the prisoners told her about the close relationship between pakistan the taliban and al qaida most rude urgent he wanted to alert the west he wanted more people to know about the taleban and how they were interacting with

bin ladin in to emphasize that if we were opposing bin laden that we should really realize that he and the taliban were sharing the same goals and resources and funding. but judy says report was not well received by her bosses at the pentagon. the state department was even more annoyed people were saying they were very upset about my trip and i was told i simply wasn't going to be able to stay and that they weren't going to give me my security clearance back so essentially they fired me. the clinton administration continued into efforts to influence the taliban regime. and we were in the middle of trying to. get them to modify their behavior and i'm a believer and you talk to your friends and your enemies talking is not acceptance

of those practices. from day one the clinton administration was trying to push back in you know control and then pressure the taliban regime into change and of course that escalated once a son of bin ladin left sudan and went to afghanistan in one thousand nine hundred six the bombings of ninety eight were conducted from there so it's very much on the forefront of. the problem of osama bin laden stood in the way of any agreement about future oil and gas pipelines. he had declared war on america and this on the ten years bombings of our embassies in tanzania and kenya really put us on a war footing with sound and then from that point on we were actually trying to kill him. on the twentieth of august nine hundred ninety seven president clinton ordered the launch of cruise missiles against several outcall you

bases and i understand. four of the bases were destroyed. twenty five. were killed but bin laden himself escaped i remember when president clinton sense cruise missiles and afghanistan. i just as when i told. my boss in the board of directors that it was time that this this one got to go anywhere any time soon. about point you know withdrew from the part blind project but the french intelligence analyst. argues that the idea of an oil and gas pipeline lived on. my state's work was fixing. they were pressuring the taliban to release bin laden.

by negotiating about the pipeline the same sign the taliban were thinking they were calling the united states did not and by discussing with them other python. a mile mark the pipeline issue was in leverage in preserving his country from u.s. strikes and avoiding to take a decision on on bin laden. osama bin ladin was also interested in continued pipeline negotiations. a strategy memo from bin laden's close aide to mohammed ought to have was found to join the investigation of the nine hundred ninety eight east africa embassy attacks this memo written by mohammed atta's it states clearly that as far as the taliban were mentioning relationship in some way was with american businesses over this project or us diplomats. and their security a tighter security guarantee.

to it. the terror attacks against the east african embassies tasted the relationship between the taliban and the al qaida leader. his prisoner going to saddam. became a big part of the trip. and they did in there in the early should between afghanistan and then match them committing. a lot of. if she does that would be part of those she was a victim of static surgery so you have no sort of blood because you know sid

valuable no baseline near zero but you try and you oh and you weigh those shooter was something. the gee it kind of that is you know. just sort of for the good it was just as you would understand the saudis have. done and found the joneses called the for you from a hunger strike in front of the. news that he. did that is. towards the end of the ninety's the pipelines were no longer on the agenda or in talks between the u.s. and the taliban. the u.s. asked thirty times for osama bin laden to be handed over but the taliban gave no clear answer that tox went essentially nowhere in the taliban the more we would close and the more they push back the more we push them on al-qaeda expelling us out of bin laden the more they would fish back. they just got more decided.

to keep. not follow and to teach you talk to no man no one of the when you. tell your brother and for them that you know that nobody. does a tissue each other not to do but to do a no or are you going to put on a complaint. when george w. bush came to power in two thousand and one even you did tend to get bin ladin extradited and get started with the construction of the oil pipeline. why then unit. it was out of the picture but others tried to revive the plans.

w. bush in this direct connection with the oil industry and he was to try to be more persuasive words that i. made a special documentary about the prelude to september the eleventh. american born adam gadahn is the film's narrator an attack on afghanistan had been planned for a long time the americans are boiling mad about a number of things the islamic emirates domination of strategic energy reserves as well as the root of the proposed gas pipeline from the caspian sea. and most of all its refusal to hand over osama. in berlin in july two thousand and one

a final dramatic meeting about the taliban was arranged between representatives of the united states government and all the players in the region. to pongs during these talks there's a u.s. representatives that will make this ultimatum that will have enter the carbons of holes in the carpet bomb. the americans and inform their allies during a meeting in germany of their plan to invade afghanistan in the autumn before the first snow fall which is what the eventually did so we knew it was coming the question was do we sit back and wait or do we surprise them with a preemptive strike. get

my. eye . i was there in nine and they were in new york it has already said and i found it there what a tragic and kind of out of the people of the united states and innocent people was wiping. all of it is but i need. not understand the above or the trying to get it get started i would be judged on zero or on but it would. by this time an obvious juice. bush in that show was there to tell you about us so to speak to get across.

to the taliban offer to extradite osama bin laden to a third country but now the americans have decided to remove both him and the taliban the from the seventh of october america and britain attacked. the northern alliance exploiting the resulting chaos and the taliban regime unravel . on the twentieth of november two thousand and one the capital city of kabul failed. with us backing comic-con saw it was inaugurated as president his brother had been working for unocal and because i was well acquainted with the pipeline plan it was. soon after nine eleven in a couple of moms suddenly we feared that state governments from the region got together and basically decided to revive the project. that means that even

without knowing the fate of guns that journalists ability all these countries i've come to the same conclusion they had reached before nine eleven the spy plane was crucial that. the interests. after years of war there is still no pipeline the taliban is back in strength and reluctant to negotiate about peace. they cost the kind of on a government brought to a new going to mean that the title of democracy in the himalayas meant dave did not bring peace to afghanistan the insurgency against paygo have been installed by the international community is to going.

to. the war against the taliban has made the building of the pipeline impossible. the afghan north also house some oil after the pipeline was shelved john i believe who had left unocal considered investing in an oil and gas project in mazar e sharif. look at afghanistan at political risk is amazingly high there's a logic risk in the most arias moderate but the reward part is also moderate when you put all that together if that's why it's not an interesting investment opportunity for a large company. there are a geologist to argue that the country's petroleum resources are knowledge of them previously known. afghanistan has the best geology in that part of the

world for both mineral resources and hydrocarbons that's pretty spectacular why are they so poor they've not been able for the valid those resources first they didn't know about them and then the past thirty years of war nobody has been able to do much. one afghan who tried to develop the country's oil resources and an early stage was king mohammed zahir shah and after thirty years in exile he returned a lot of afghanistan's old history has been forgotten. mohammed zahir shah became king when he was only nineteen years old and in one hundred thirty seven he gave the u.s. firm inland exploration company exclusive rights to oil extraction in the northern areas of the country. they were also given the rights to build a sixteen hundred kilometer pipeline. but the second world war put a stop to these plans. older afghans recalled the king's reign as

a time of peace economic progress the introduction of democracy and education for women. namely nanny nanny king shah made new attempts to restart afghan oil and gas production in the fifty's and sixty's a series of test wells were drilled and american soviet geologist mapped the country's resources. join frodo was enough gonna stand at the end of the seventy's as part of the atlas afghanistan project. he got a unique insight into the maps of mineral resources. there was one american geologist me and two hundred fifty soviet russian geologist. so when i left afghanistan in late seventy eight i was actually in de ported by the

communists who had taken over the government i left having sent my maps out of the country in a diplomatic pouch came back to the united states and i worked on the mineral resources in afghanistan ever since. west of mazower other remains of a canister finally from the soviet era. the plant is still in operation but no longer produces as much as when the russians were there. mouthing about it on the roof i don't understand candles are not that hold on the shaft million goes down as it passes on ethanol it's past flour johnny surely inside the saldana mission. could be quite sure that in asia.

in two thousand and seven an experienced oil geologist rediscovered this area. he'd previously worked for unocal but he now worked as head of the norwegian aid project oil for development he wanted to help afghanistan with a new oil will. it too long to his dissuaded from traveling to the north but with an armed escort he went anyway. at one gas plant he discovered a brick don't room documentation of soviet oil and gas production had been hidden. behind the secret wool lay old maps and seismic so they used it showed afghanistan's oil and gas resources was significantly greater than the outside world was aware of and made history in those areas so although in the all that's on the air this is ultimately a sister to. on the message in that i was built although shitsville fourteen is

a thirtieth in the world than that in the midst of a legal slow deal with. the administration offices for oil and gas in mazar i'll show reef allocated an old soviet buildings. chief engineer mohammed to john off toddy has made it his life's work to preserve the dusty archives. several times he saved maps and documents from destruction. the boy we can absolutely critical cannot get on the ground and get back on my will model you know what i would i'm not perfect i didn't buy water young guns stuff when i think. that i was young good a lot of time i'm going to shoot and it is yeah the world didn't shut down after mother she can do it you know how i don't know how he ended she asked me how much

of a mind he is not when the last guy you know that's not on their guy a moment as he fist american not let a young girl letter he called her knowledge your knowledge if you don't have any girl muslim mother that's a woman i don't know oh you don't know how. i felt i don't know a lot on the whole didn't already know me and. despite too little money and poor health i toddy has systemized to finals and preserve the valuable data for the future i don't know one of the red least i want to talk of the job of our day not wanted or india could make about it in a moment though i thought that i'd buy the time but correct anyhow i mean there's just not a need not all i know or don't know or don't offer. you may have to hold on a moment mad mad cow but he only got one more we will get those hundred current
