and in response to the nine eleven attacks masterminded by some of bin ladin former commander of nato coalition forces retired american general stanley mcchrystal says a frankly simplistic understanding of the country means the u.s. and its allies are only about half way towards reaching their military goals jason what legs visited by a grim airbase north of kabul and reports next that while america plans to leave afghanistan it's continuing to build up its forces nonetheless. if the united states is drawing its troops from afghanistan why is its largest base getting bigger when u.s. led forces overran the taliban of late two thousand and one bug a mere field is little more than a flight to correct runway since then the former soviet base in the plains north of the afghan capital has grown into a small city itself over twenty five thousand full tilt personal fleets of military hardware in the fields to cause traffic jams in the expansion is now with the way it is by scores of contractors u.s. military engineers are constructing new housing and storage facilities to make room

for even more many more hardware after sending an extra thirty thousand troops to afghanistan last year president obama started bringing them home this summer but with afghan forces struggling to stand alone it's likely that less will leave than planned and bases like this one are going to shrink any time soon. at least there are plenty of home comforts for soldiers staying on for tough you know long deployments they can shop for everything from flat screen t.v.'s to fine jewelry enjoy a cappuccino or grab some take out the new pizza hut franchise and if they're tired of working out in the gym they're free to go to the salon for a haircut and massage although some officials have tried to limit such amenities calling them a distraction from the war the troops are happy to have them and these are extreme but if you have a fever the latter would take. the right. local afghan merchants are also glad to have the extra business both inside and outside the wire without beggarman the soldiers my business would be nothing we like having

them here but not everyone agrees deadly taliban rocket attacks are on the rise and as the base becomes more and more crowded the threat to those living inside multiplies no matter how high its walls become every rock it's a close call when you this can just get this much equipment personnel consolidated into one tight spot get close it's going to destroy something or someone is is. maybe differ due to times this is still. juice month. for. well almost two thousand eight hundred american and coalition soldiers have died trying to rid afghanistan of the taliban but according to president karzai and has failed to provide security for civilians ruthless insurgent attacks have increased in recent months with several high profile assassinations and shootouts and of the capital kabul civilian casualties are also on the rise they saw comes after the u.s. announcement of plans to withdraw troops by the end of twenty fourteen director of

the coalition brian becker told us over the washington's got no intention of leaving afghanistan and uses its presence there to influence the karzai government . i think advisor is just a euphemism for what amounts to an american military occupation if the us military were to leave afghanistan altogether or if it were to leave iraq altogether those governments would become independent determining governments free of foreign interference or foreign occupation that's what would happen they would form their own natural alliances with their neighbors the united states does not want that this is the great prize this is a geo strategically and resource rich part of the world united states is there for the long term and i think that's the real goal is to firmly afghanistan and the surrounding countries into an american spear of influence it think the karzai government really is an extension of american power which has a masquerade the fiction of a nato cover but really it's an american power cards i of course probably cannot

survive without outside support after all the outsiders the occupiers put him into power i don't think he has any real legitimacy or credibility for his people. under a touch of american. todd it comes to the mission the food the food spoke to us more missions. on a mission to bring peace and stability to the room going ten years known as a dumb enough to move move dangerous. libyan fighters have launched a final. turn of reports say the interim government troops have now largely taken the city but is still making pockets of heavy resistance hundreds of vehicles for you to be out of school this is the city's pounded by heavy shelling though thousands of civilians have left since thought many more of remained this comes

after colonel gadhafi and all the of massive libyans to resist the interim leaders the civil war which has claimed thousands of lives so far was joined by a nato under a u.n. mandate to protect civilians chandan an activist and a journalist he told me he doesn't believe the western powers will leave the country any time soon. from the part of the global south africa in particular this has been an absolute disaster that civilians are clearly targeted there and i think now china in this last few days china and russia have vetoed the u.n. resolution which is a similar program by nato which they cannot from libya but they want to conduct now in syria i think china and russia have admitted that they were fooled over the resolution one thousand seventy three on one libya and they're not going to be fooled again there's no sign whatsoever that nato is going to leave nato it will intervene even further if the factional amongst the rebels continues to the relationship continues to worsen and it's very clear that for the west and for nato

their men on the ground it's people like jabril angela so the battle is far from over. president vet of his again stated that russia will not support any u.n. resolution to impose sanctions on syria he said it's not up to the u.n. or nato to decide the political course a country should follow. his can offer ports on the story. president you do that for explain that russia strongly criticizes the ongoing violence in syria it supports the idea that the country is in desperate need of democratic reform it also thinks that if the current of the thirty's will not be able to create this change then we will have to go but meeting with the stress that this will have to be the choice of the syrian people and not a result of some foreign military intervention similar to how the end vents are unfolding probably in libya and since it be you on draft resolution on syria backed by the west did not exclude the chances of foreign military intervention russia had

to block it after the resolutions alters didn't take our concerns into account worse they declined to simple to close all to station there would be no external military interference in the conflict this means only one thing our partners in the u.n. security council do not rule out a replay of the libyan scenario although they said more than once that they clearly understood syria is very different to libya russia will continue resisting attempts to legitimize unilateral sanctions through the u.n. security council the danger overthrow political regimes the u.n. was not created for that meanwhile the violence in syria continues according to the leaders figures coming out of the year one nearly three thousand people have lost their lives throughout the entire conflict the west says that it will continue applying pressure on syrian authorities while russia hopes that the country will be able to conduct peaceful democratic reforms on its own bigger press can offer his
