there are no longer battlefields or limited geographies like afghanistan, iraq, or syria. astead, the entire planet is battlefield, and it is necessary for all government to cooperate closely against this new kind of threat. genie: let's move onto another story getting a lot of attention , and that is the final state of the union address from u.s. president barack obama. flo: there is a great cartoon in showing obamant," looking like a lame duck, the traditional way of describing an elected official who is approaching the end of his 10-year. a whole bunch of guns here. to a lot obama talked of republicans, and reactions are trickling in from the united states as well. if you did not get a chance to listen to it, there is an article you should check out in "the washington post," a transcript of his speech, but it is interactive. it is very useful. you can click on it to understand exactly what he said and what it end. genie: let's come back to france, were the jewish community is in shock after a teaching -- after a teacher wearing a traditional skullcap was attacked in mar

as we've been talking about, he really didn't address iraq, afghanistan or even syria much. how do you think this will be received by both the leader and the people of the region? >> reporter: this is a region where the u.s. is always doing too much or too little. the president had is that right his term in office two terms ago believing that he could disengage to the middle east and poift to asia and this would be behind him. clearly that hasn't happened. he has more troops out than he every envisioned. one thing that hasn't changed is his belief that the essential message here is that the u.s. can't fix everything and it shouldn't try. >> we also can't try to take over and rebuild every country that falls into crisis. even if it's done with the best of intentions that's not leadership. that's' recipe for spilling american blood and treasure that ultimately will weak inus. it is the lesson of vietnam, it is the lesson of of iraq and we should have learned it by now. >> reporter: so there are a lot of his allies here, here in jordan, some iraqi leaders and kurdish leaders who

there is no proof the people came from iraq, syria or afghanistan. what we are talking about is whether we are going to be taking refugees returning away from the civil war in syria. >> i also think there is a matter of degree here. angela merkel's party has brought 1 million people into a nation of 80 million people. this is a gigantic upheaval and they are not equipped to deal with it. >> until there is an arrest, a charge and conviction we need to stop with the blanket suspicions of foreigners and refugees. charles: i don't think that's going to stop. overall, we have heard and we have seen evidence and particularly in some of these norwegian countries. speak of donald trump, he thinks president obama was showing true emotions when he got teary eyed when roll out his action on gun control. tweet me your thoughts. charles: questions over the effectiveness of the president's new gun control law. many are wondering about the terrorists. >> i actually think was sincere. i'll probably go down 590s the polls by saying that. but i think he was sincere. he

europe stopped accepting anyone from syria, iraq or afghanistan.een the border of greece and macedonia. it was a light moment here. but it was anything but light during the day. there were protests between the migrants and the police, the mass doanian police who erected a barbed wire fence. this happened to be a light moment. the days were grueling. i stood between the riot police and the migrants and it was not pretty. >> we have shots from that. our next photograph is, i guess -- you set this up for us. >> so, behind him are macedonian police. behind him it macedonia. they're stuck. when they arrived on the shores of greece, they thought they would be welcomed. but the policy changed. if you weren't from one of three countries you were stuck. this guy was stuck. >> let me just ask you, we can't avoid the headlines coming out of germany, the protests in cologne. those are people who made it into europe. you've been with people struggling and enduring and sacrificing. what goes through your mind as you see the reaction in germany. >> two thoughts.

afghanistan. but what has happened after that? and but what happened to the middle east? nobody can tell us about the future of syria. or the future of iraq. but this is the most important. >> you mentioned an external folder abilities of the islamic state. i take the question was about an internal do you see anything inside the administration that could weaken the organization and? >> yes. x turtle and internal are related. because usually that is from the outside this is the most important filterable because the people are not determining their future. to have the say of their future and by intervening in syria. in order to cover the shortcomings. yes it is not a indefeasible. but the problem is there is an example elected whole of the middle east. from i am into the west. in so we have to set up this example and we have this for you. of march -- with the energy or prosperity. we have to say we are working for a long term future. in afghanistan and iraq. we have a the a plant and a the plan b. >> diaz see any sign that western governments have these plans for the post islamic state? >> i can't see that. i remember wit

of war combining all military and civilian casualties, in afghanistan, in syria, in iraq, everyone that has died, whether they died at our hands or taliban hands or terrorist hands or iraqis killing iraqis, every one who has died in 14 years of warfare numbers about 400,000 people. that is fewer than the number of people who died in the firebombing of tokyo in one day in world war ii. we are being spectacularly humane. the numbers prove it. you want to kill 400,000 people the day in the firebombing of the city's? or do you want this note fuss' perpetual war that lets you go about your life in a normal way. that is the meticulous quality of it and chris efficiency associated with modern warfare that makes it seem so sensible. i will stop there, take questions, we are being filmed so there's a gentleman who has a microphone. he would like you to signal to him so that he can trust that microphone in your face and you can be heard. >> we isis spectacularly successful in using this technology what makes us think others won't be equal the spectacularly successful and return to favor? >> the question as to whether or not this technology

whether it's afghanistan where he increases troops and sets an artificial withdrawal date. or rather it's iraq and syriahave a sense these guys are going overseas to be wound and coming back and somehow there is no real will for victory as a result of that. i think there is a kern of truth. >> we know about the va scandal. it's a shame how we treated the vets. what you don't want to miss tonight. a pegs stossel. and if you did miss the last republican presidential debate. don't worry. pop up some popcorn. you can watch it tomorrow night at:00 p.m. government cronyism run amok. if you're running a business, legalzoom has your back. over the last 10 years we've helped one million business owners get started. visit legalzoom today for the legal help you need to start and run your business. legalzoom. legal help is here. they represent blood cells. and if you have afib-an irregular heartbeat that may put you at five times greater risk of stroke they can pool together in the heart, forming a clot that can break free and travel upstream to the brain, where it can block blood flow and cause a stroke. but if yo

we're not seeing daesh elements in iraq or syria orchestrating events here in afghanistan. what we are seeing is daesh attempting to establish a base of operations in thank gar province. they've largely been pushed back to the southern parts of to that province. that's on the border with pakistan and it's where most of the daesh currently is. we have seen daesh in other parts of the country. what we've seen in other parts of the country are small pockets that mainly consists of low level recruiting and propaganda. we haven't seen it organized. we're not seeing a significant amount of money coming in to afghanistan to support daesh. >> lucas tomlinson of fox news. >> thank you, general. can you update us on the status of the wounded special forces soldier and all of the americans fighting in marjah battle and can you tell us when does the mission turn from train, advise, and assist to combat? >> so on the status of the wounded soldiers, i don't have that in front of me but i'd be happy to provide to you what we have subsequently. on that situation in helmand, i want to be cl

inaudible ] support fighting isil in iraq and syria, but in addition nato has been in afghanistan for many, many years fighting terrorism, and the main purpose ore in afghanistan is to prevent afghanistan once again becomes a safe haven for international terrorists, but i think the most important thing now is to build local capacity, is to train local forces, is to build defense institutions like for instance nato is going to do now in iraq, where we're going to start to train iraqi officers. we also support jordan. we support tunisia. so i think the key issue is to help countries in the region to strengthen their capabilities to fight isil and to defend themselves. >> reporter: do you genuinely believe isil can be defeated? we hear various leaders say, yes, it can. it is a different sort of enemy. do you think it can honestly be defeated in the way that so many want? >> it can be defeated. it will take time, and we have to pursue that goal in many different ways, but we have seen some progress already. they are losing ground in iraq and we see that so many people are mobilizing against the message from isil, not only the military -- with milit

or maybe in implementation of the nuclear deal and also possibly u.s. iran cooperations on an array of issues, may they be in afghanistan, in syria, in yemen and on the security of the per shall gulf that is so important for global energy supplies. >> always good to have you with us. good to see you. >> thank you. >> as the iranian nuclear deal nears completion, some thorny issues still need to be resolved. one concerns the 1983 bombing of the marine corps barracks in beirut. so far the victims have received none of the judgment they received, froze be in the united states. lawyers for iran's central bank argued that a law used to pass the judgment was illegal. >>> andrew simmons has more. >> on the approach to an ancient egyptian obelisk where the tourist died a solemn group led by prime minister aimmediate davutoglu, the interior ministers of turkey also present. there is a serene feeling here, the whole area has been cleaned up. red flowers are the only visual signs of death. no blast damage apart from some wood gouged out of a seat. turkey's government blames i.s.i.l. for the attack. saying it's the organization's third bombing in the country, and the fir

syrian refugee crisis has now put syria in the lead but that is still 10% of afghanistan's population. europe, about 50,000 in which i think is close to the second or third number of displaced people that approved -- moved to europe from other countries. would likethings we to focus on is that it's not just refugees or people on the doors of europe that are part of the problem. one of our afghan staff need a poignant point that rich people can move to europe, which we don't think of refugees as being wealthy. most of the ones going to europe are not that relative to those in afghanistan and have become internally displaced, the situation in afghanistan is very difficult. you have some of the highest children arerates, not schooled when they have been displaced and have to move one area to another. we are looking at one and 30 afghans are now internal he 940,000 people. -- or 940,000 people. it is a country prone to natural disasters and so we will see -- thisn those despite placement as well when people are forced to flee to other parts of the country. is anmple of this with ourwe are seeing vocational and training program in kandahar. we are seein

afghanistan next. syria is a difficult now, you have to go in and out the same day. charlie: how do you go in? beirut? ben: orfriend who went there recently and going in and out with the same rebel group for two years, but the commander was a friend of his, took him in and showed him around and got some great pictures and on the way offered a large amount of money for him and the commander decided to go for it. they handcuffed him and put them in the back of a -- and he escaped by killing someone with a brick. or very badly beating somebody with a brick. charlie: they brought him in? ben: and then they, after a nasty fight, local rebels came to save them. but before they were free, the rebels try to sell them and shot them in the ankle. and that was some of you trusted and worked with for two years. the really disturbing thing for me, as he said, i can understand the logic. you guys come in, get all the stuff, broadcast it supposedly, to the world, and nothing happens. it does not help us whatsoever. if i sell you for what hundred thousand dollars, i could buy weapons and you'd be helping. that was chilling.

afghanistan to syria. the list is long. and we have to ask, do we trust the president to implement policies that keep the world more or less safe? the second question is just as simple, that is, do we trust iran? and as i asked the secretary kerry, show me a single example of iran working with us or with our allies in any positive fashion. they are as has been said here, the world's greatest sponsor of terrorism. recently they broke u.n. agreements not to test ballistic missiles. they have held our soldiers from hezbollah to hamas to syria. they foster terror and darkness everywhere they go. do we trust iran? the answer is very simply no. which is why this bill is so important. it helps us to hold iran accountable. it helps us to hold their proxies accountable. it removes the incentives for them to continue to expand their power and their policies and their goals, which are counter to u.s. and western goals throughout the world. that is why i support this bill. i urge my colleagues to as well. mr. chairman, thank you. i yield whack. -- back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from california

if you have a safe haven, syria, western iraq or even northern libya you can plot and plan. >> absolutely the danger. why afghanistanhave failed states. now we have more failed states. we also have the central hub, this caliphate that is recruiting and inspiring this homegrown activity saw with san bernardino, california. bill: during the introduction to you, we also showed the picture of prime minister david cameron. the reason we showed that, his face is on the video which is a direct threat toward england. sir, thank you for your time today. >> thank you. bill: senator ron johnson, guest in our studio. we'll talk again. martha, what is next? martha: donald trump and ted cruz locking horns in the final days before iowa. >> how stupid are the people of iowa. >> donald trump new york values, not ours. martha: that is cruz's super-pac ad, gloves come off. trump is not pulling any punches as he fights back. what to expect next in the republican battle for the hawkeye state, plus, you remember this woman? >> you need to get out. >> i actually don't. >> all right. who wants to help me get this reporter out of here? i ne

better employment, less war, we're fighting in afghanistan, still taking casualties, may be going into iraq and syria. neil: who of the candidates impressed you or could impress you as someone who gets it on the national and i guess now economic security angle? >> i thought marco rubio impressed me. it was interesting to see in the republican debate it was about an hour and a half in before somebody defended the free markets. when marco rubio said hey, maybe a trade war isn't the way we protect american products, make it easier and more affordable for americans to manufacture their products. you heard jeb bush jumped on the band wagon and he pushed that. a lot of the other candidates had the little old-fashioned republican protectionism about them, kind of let on by trump. neil: what do you think trump was saying, forget about whether he advocated 45% tariffs. he did. leave that alone. the threat alone might get someone to the table like ronald reagan with the strategic defense shield, remember that? >> i think trump's got a point. look at negotiating skills so far, almost every candidate from the undercard debate to the main stage was echoing s

or smugglers' hands. so we don't know frankly. i don't think authorities know what the real situation is. a very, very large number of those coming across from afghanistan from iraq and syria are minors. sometimes with parents. sometimes they are on their own great members they need to be cared for. >> bur lin's abandoned airport has been brought back into action to house some of the thousands of refugees who are pouring in to germany. berlin correspond event dominic cane has more details. >> this was one a point of departure for germans looking to travel to foreign parts. now, it is a point of arrival for a growing number of refugees. the hangers that once house the aircraft now house people. most have come to germany from syria with their families. >> abu hassan says the conditions here are poor and cramped. >> first of all, i want to thank the german government and the german population for the helpfulness. in reality, the situation at the refugee camp here is bad and miserable. there are several reasons for that. we come from a different culture. we care a lot about our personal space, but this is not to be found here the food is very bad. we and the other families tak

or it's not right for the people in the future. in order to cut that and eliminate that we have to send guys like news there to eliminate isis. whether that be in iraq, afghanistan, syriahe the guys who are hunters hunt them down like animals and kill them like the cowards they are. >> thank you, sergeant. >> thank you. >> we always seem to find out something new and disturbing and maybe far reaching in these hillary clinton i'ms but there's something here that is so disturbing and so jarring that some are saying this is far, far bigger than just a campaign race. this could possibly be criminal. stick around. and can you explain why you recommend synthetic over cedar? "super food?" is that a real thing? it's a great school, but is it the right one for her? is this really any better than the one you got last year? if we consolidate suppliers, what's the savings there? so should we go with the 467 horsepower? ...or is a 423 enough? good question. you ask a lot of good questions... i think we should move you into our new fund. sure... ok. but are you asking enough about how your wealth is managed? wealth management at charles schwab. >> there is total gridlock. ted cruz i

afghanistan, iran, and syria. they help republicans make their case against barack obama. because one thing unites republican candidate is they argue all of these situations were created or made worse by obama's foreign policy. and who should be running for president on the democratic side but barack obama's secretary of state. martha: there will be increased pressure on these candidate to be more specific on how they view the united states' role. where did they place our military power. what areas did they find to be particularly hot and of grave concern to them. donald trump has gotten the attention of the country. the next step will be for he and others to outline what he would do. >> we have seen proposals for ground troops to fight isis, for vigorous air campaigns against isis. we have seen jeb bush calling for tougher pressure on china. ted cruz doing the same thing over this north korea thing. we are seeing actual concrete suggestions from these candidates. trump on the other hand is prospering by projecting a general sense of strength, that he would be tough with everybody. but he hasn't said very much what he would actually do in any of these hotpots. bill: in a mome
