11:02 pm
history and as ulti is again a check our report became it hasn't stopped that. it started as a war on terror spawned by the deadliest terrorist attack in history either whether she would be enemy that's that's clear but the circle of america's enemies grew quickly and included nations that had nothing to do with nine eleven they were defined by george bush as the axis of evil some of these regimes have been pretty quiet since september the eleventh. but we know their true nature north korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction. while starving a citizens. iran aggressively pursues its weapons in exports term while an unelected few repressed the iranian people show up for freedom. iraq continues to fantasize to lead toward america and to support terror two years after nine eleven the us invaded iraq on the grounds that he had weapons of mass destruction and was
11:03 pm
doing business with al qaida grounds which proved to be false hundreds of thousands of iraqi civilians have died since the invasion they use the moment and in the wake of nine eleven to divert from afghanistan a real target should have been our real target and go to iraq it also was the low hanging fruit north korea was far more dangerous but too difficult one hundred thousand casualties were predicted by the planet on both sides so would be destroyed iran was too difficult seventy million people not fractured like the iraqis and the sunni and shia and christian and other as for the motives behind invading iraq some top or oil iraq right now is sitting on probably two hundred billion barrels maybe three hundred billion barrels that's correct zone or report mo he plans to be a thirteen million barrels per day production capacity in seven years that surpasses saudi arabia now you know why dick cheney went to war in iraq others
11:04 pm
blame america's self assigned role as the world's policeman the driving idea behind it is that it had to monic still it had the idea is that so but world is going to be more secure place overall if there is a a universal or world a sole remaining superpower much of what has happened post nine eleven in the name of responding to nine eleven has been a pretext as terrorism was no longer the only reason for landing on washington's enemy list the us has even more far reaching plans on the table former vice president dick cheney says he urged the bush administration to bomb syria at one time because of its alleged nuclear weapons program a move which experts say would have had disastrous effects on the region president obama was elected on hopes that he would and the endless wars. overseas which most americans are opposed to but he continues and adds one more another oil rich nation
11:05 pm
libya and this time in the name of removing an evil dictator. some worry syria could be next we have a an executive power that is beyond any check by the people by the congress or by the courts for war we can go toward the drop of a coin we've reached the point now where the president the united states can kill people for state purposes any time he or she feels the need since nine eleven america's war on terror has crossed many borders from pakistan to yemen and other countries the chase for a handful of terrorists has turned the lives of entire nations upside down we're talking about hundreds of thousands of innocent lives taken by the decade of constant war and many worry that a tragedy as great as nine eleven has served as a pretext for an even greater tragedy one that has no end in sight i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. at least two civilians have been
11:06 pm
killed and almost eighty u.s. troops injured in a suicide bomb at an american military base in eastern afghanistan has been seen as the town of bones way of marking a decade since nine eleven but in a statement the movement claimed it had no role when the twin tower times needed ten years up to the u.s. led coalition invaded afghanistan it doesn't seem any closer to winning the war with a ton about still fighting relentlessly the conflicts estimated to have cost of a ten thousand civilian lives caught in because fire on nato strikes against militants but as u.s. troops begin their gradual withdrawal from the country most obvious of it is don't even know why the coach it was ever been merican forces in the. helmand in southern afghanistan is the province that has borne the brunt of the fighting between the taliban and coalition forces what would afghans in this war torn province think about nine eleven and. consequence of this. while on patrol with the marines i get a first opportunity to ask a couple of young afghan men what they know about nine eleven but those who will go
11:07 pm
to. war with us will. never see if can you show them a few more and can us do they know where it is even if we don't know so that's because because we are former we never heard about anything else about the world big time or start coming through. the two young men and clearly never heard of nine eleven. but maybe the elders of the local sure would have more to say yeah no i didn't see it in. this ng i just can see the smoke from the buildings and that's a that's only thing i can say when you guys show this picture of the guys saying it so i think that was a call what if i just got here i would be surprised but having been here now for six months this is pretty much the stone ages where we are and what to do about their reactions besame so the guy who said it was kabul was clearly never going to kabul and it just shows you how isolated they are even in their own country beat them on them without understand. how look i'm not going to let you go don't think
11:08 pm
you know you're going to america afghanistan come to this point and then get the airplane from here to attack in the united states but you know how much fun i think you're going to it was nice to go from iraq to then here is a lot easier to understand you know why you're here and why do you say you had that picture you know it's good picture mine yourself because what you're going to see after looking at it in this context while wearing the uniform if you're in the right. to back that was what we're really starting to make and saying we're going to help you to decide one by doing and to destroy us how many funding and they say we're going to help you where is the help. work your way down what they're saying to give it to our kids are going to go up fighting and they do it to their own kids in a paper that i don't invade and. i do sympathize or understand what you're some were saying it's even just from the weather we've had recently people losing their homes and nobody to help them. so you know when you have when you can't feed yourself or earth how yourself are you going to care about somebody you know six thousand miles away just so i can understand it i just set it up over the top of this with i never
11:09 pm
thought to ask those questions of but if anybody here that's why we're here amazingly in a country where for ten years a war has been fought with nine eleven as its root cause and justification it turns out not only were the villages oblivious to nine eleven but so were the afghan police and even some of the translators working with the u.s. military and you don't know that is for you to say that i know i have got no idea about the syrian if you haven't seen the faces before. the survey taken in twenty ten by the international council on security and development found that ninety two percent of afghan men in helmand and other afghan provinces had no idea what nine eleven was with american troops set to start with during this year it seems likely that they will leave afghanistan without the vast majority of afghans ever having really understood why they came in the first place adam plots from afghanistan for . a terrorist attack that became synonymous with.

straight extremists and some might even be called terrorists the situation is not that simple and we have to take into account the balance of different forces and interests russia may support certain moves but only if they don't boil down to the one. sided condemnation of the government and president assad we should send a strong message calling on all the conflicting parties to come to the negotiating table start talks and stop the bloodshed. in libya the head of the country's interim government has arrived in the capital tripoli for the first time since it fell to rebel forces most of leave is now controlled by the national transitional council but gadhafi loyalists are still holding out in their remaining stronghold for instance resistance despite intense nato bombardment rebel fighters returning from street battles and funny walid that they felt demoralized and outgunned meanwhile one of his sons saadi has crossed into neighboring new chair to join other family members who fled earlier the colonel can sell his now interpol's most wanted list that in the recent ordeal message that he's still in libya and won't
