10:05 pm
a field course and they are not only doubling down other tripling down on things that they know they cannot win it's time we believe if it were up to me i part of president obama i would declare victory that we actually did back in zero three and zero four and let it go with this is the deal you have to seek regional solutions this is not an american issue this is truly a pakistan afghan india iran issue and frankly should we work with those people who live there to find a passport. it pops in minutes will be bringing you more expert opinion on the i'm going story with our military analyst who is in kabul giving his view on why america is trying to contain the insurgency meanwhile on our website where asking what legacy you think the ten year afghanistan occupation has left and at the moment more than half of our viewers say the war has brought the us nothing but bloodshed and bankruptcy just over a quarter of you believe that years of occupation of turns of ghana's down into the world's biggest hereon hub in the six thing the operation was a stepping stone to an invasion of pakistan and while only three percent of record

10:09 pm
to the government in the early trips and even starting with all of the problems. because the. people in the streets of london have been demanding and that is not only to the afghan conference but also to nato presence in the bia and among the high profile faces of a precious was weak links found of journalist songs we're told all see the libyan intervention was simply about the us and europe taking of a country the lesson fully being is that there are only two superpowers in the world worth speaking why one those are the united states and europe pleased to see. gotten together to take over the country the regional justification in the bully boy no fly zone over libya has been completely of use it shows that there is no effective. donations it's. a listen to us every time that a small mandate is given. military and intelligence powers. that be it is

10:11 pm
what civilians it supports it doesn't support those civilians remark was it really does the support of want and of course we know that this. was about regimes like wants to get rid of gadhafi if they could just to stop this. if. they don't care about. so the world is terrible killings and so i'm sure. really this is a response well this is a big. event in the middle east have become an inspiration overseas as in the us the occupy wall street complain and say they're using arab spring revolutionary tactics to achieve their goals and corporate protests in new york around to their fourth week and have already spread to dozens of cities hitting the capital washington d.c. organizers claim will be in a thousand american cities by the end of the month as according to
