congressional delegation was visited the country this week specifying the rise of the isis branch in the region. he says ok jim banks and six others had to leave on choose they just as they'd learned of a suicide bombing in the afghan capital the attack on a religious celebration in kabul is one of the deadliest this year killing fifty five and injuring close to one hundred more islamic state is suspected of carrying out the bombing there's been a wave of bloody violence in recent weeks in which hundreds have died as militants step up their assaults amid a flurry of diplomatic efforts to end the seventeen year war on terror yet in all the time more recently unveiled research shows it's how the severely limited effect on talking extremism on. the horrendous attacks that took place on september eleventh two thousand and one in which nearly three thousand people lost their

lives were followed up by the launch of the u.s. war on terror that was seventeen years ago and the war on terror is still taking place it certainly produced results but not the kind of results that many were expecting a new study shows that at this point there are roughly four times as many just hottest in the world as there were at the time of the nine eleven attacks at this point there's two hundred thirty thousand militants spread across seventeen different countries while the united states and allied governments have weakened some groups many of the underlying causes of terrorism have not been adequately addressed sunni arab disenfranchisement has been among the most important causes of instability and an important source of recruits but how can this be by twenty nineteen the usa will have spent five point nine trillion dollars on counterterrorism operations and activities and at this point researchers are saying that the us military brass lacks

a coherent roadmap there is no strategy to end the wars other than more of the same in the hope that one day iraqi and afghan security forces will be able to fend for themselves now the costs are not sin. financial but also common terms of human lives the latest study indicates that roughly half a million people have died as a result of america's post nine eleven wars now that only includes iraq pakistan and afghanistan with the authors of the study saying that with other countries included the numbers would be much higher. now there's no sign that america's drones missiles and tax dollars will stop rolling anytime soon the or it is to have sufficient forces engaged insufficient political engagement sufficient economic resources to make sure that we're putting pressure and disrupting those networks the current administration just like the obama administration believes that it does not need any additional authorization to use force against al qaida

passed on to terrorist organizations like hezbollah and hamas the new sanctions focus on one are really in company and two russia based companies while the six individuals targeted there from various countries including iran and russia moscow house condemn washington's latest move claiming it will only strengthen the terrorists' position. the effort to charge others with providing oil to syria which is battle terrorist aggression for seven years looks like a statement of support for terrorists and similar taney asli an effort to hamper the reconstruction of the war torn country much of its population is deprived of electricity and heating does the us really want this well we got some thoughts from beirut based political analyst omar in the shelby who is of the view the u.s. is effectively giving aid to the remnants of islamic state. how ironic that the united states that claims claims to be fighting terrorism and is imposing sanctions

on those who are defeated i say to those who participated and the war is still ongoing in syria. this is not completely dismantled there is more reward effort by the syrian army with the help of the russian army with the help of the iranian forces in order to completely destroy these terrorist organizations. that are affiliated with that i think the whole world these sanctions are illegitimate they are illegitimate against syria they are illegitimate against it and they are illegitimate against hezbollah because they are baseless they are not based on a decision made by the united nations or by some actions that are proven to be illegal actions or by direct support for any terrorist organizations. leonardo da vinci has been dragged into a road between the french president at least deputy prime minister has been trading
