>> my pleasure. >> let's talk about this week. the photos of osama bin laden's body. good decision, bad decision to not release them? >> that's a very hard call. i actually would probably be in favor of releasing the photos of the body. but on the other hand you can see why the administration wouldn't want to do it. it's a very hard call. you're damned if do you and damned if you don't. >> as far as the backlash concerns, how do you think the reaction would have been to have those pictures out? it was in the community. >> there could have been a little more backlash. i don't think he's popular enough for this to make that much of a difference. the fact they were gruesome photos as president obama said in some of his people mentioned, might have made a difference. i really don't think it makes all that much of a differences. >> how do you think president obama is handling this? initially his approval rate having gone up at least on this issue. do you think he's handling this well and do you think this good favor he is getting from americans will last in the long-

term? >> well, i think he's handling it very well. he has not shown a great deal of triumph. he is saying a job well done to the central forces but not declaring we've won the war on terrorism. he is warning it will be a long, hard road ahead. he seems to be very realistic about this. >> and how critical is it for the withdrawal of troops there in july that he stays on point there at least on schedule of having that start to happen? >> well, i'm not sure he will be able to pull that off. i think that deadline was meant to be flexible if he wants to hov out sooner rather than later this will make it easier for him to do to. >> as far as a lot of security we talk about security and the troops and everything there, as far as the battle against al- qaeda, and the organization that still exists even though their leader is now gone, where do you think we're head indeed the time frame people say it's

not tomorrow we have to worry about but a year from now. what do you think about those issues? >> it's really a year from now and 10 years from now. this is something that will go on for a long, long time. this is not the kind of war that can be won with the death of one person. it's not the kind of struggle that will be over in any time soon. remember that a lot of the muslim world still labors and these authoritarian regimes briefs this terrorism. this is certainly a blow in the right direction, though, for sure. >> okay, professor, thank you for your time pin sight. the united states appears to be going after another top terrorist target just days after killing osama bin laden. cnn is reporting a u.s. military drone fired a missile aimed at u.s. born anwar who is believed for the senior leader of al-qaeda in yemen.
