the al-qaeda group led by osama bin laden claimed responsibility for the tragedy, which claimed the livesabout 3.00 people. the giant towers, symbols of new york, could not withstand such blows and collapsed to the ground, to the horror of spectators around the world. all this happened in live. it was a major failure of the american intelligence services. they allowed militants with weapons to board several planes at once. it was from then on that the tightening of security measures in transport began everywhere. and the united states led a crusade against the taliban regime in afghanistan, where militants had camps and bases. al-qaeda was defeated. successfully hid for a long time, but in 2011 he was finally killed during a us special operation in pakistan. that was the day in history.

we know that there were attacks by al qaeda and osama bin laden and we brought justice. we are seeing another round of the crisis, i am sure that america will look forward, will look forward. new threats, new challenges, new opportunities and new threats, we must be in this position to see specific threats, to deal with challenges, and also to see the potential for the future, because when the war started on 9/11, i was the vice president, and president obama said that now we have to start a military operation, we did it, i ... became president, and i understood that afghanistan had replaced vietnam and i wanted to do everything to end this war and i did it, it was difficult but it was the right decision. the american president, who had to make such a decision, i considered it an honor to make this decision. we understand that 13, 13 is brave americans then laid down their lives together with hundreds of opponents. i understand that in the 20 years of this war, over 200,000 american soldiers have either died or been wounded. and i know that many other countries have lost

i mean, osama bin laden's been on that list.scam, or is it because of the people she's associated with, the big time criminals, the darker world that maybe she's actually part of? is the fbi still receiving tip—offs and leads? i know of two that we acted on, but they turned out to be nothing. one completely off the wall, one somewhat credible, followed up — nothing. it was just another bad lead. nobody knows where she is, and that's the whole allure to this thing. even some of the biggest drug lords in the world can't hide from the authorities forever. the very fact that the fbi can only say that she landed in greece and we have no idea where she went after that point shows that there was serious planning. i know there was an exit strategy to leave greece. you can't pull that off on a moment's notice. that has to be in place. who is the person that you think would know about that exit strategy? if i were a betting man, i'd think that person would be frank schneider. rob byrne: from early on in the story, a lot - of people descri

so when they are going after osama bin laden and they need to know where the rest of their team is, they cannot be thinking about what is going back at home, they cannot be ruminating about what is not going well in their lives. they have to be focused on the mission and today we could be trading the people in this country to have the ability to lot -- to not let their reactive brain sabotage them. our country today is at war with itself because we are all stressed, it's a toxic environment, we are in reactive mode. if i meet someone i totally disagree with, i know that internally i am reacting to them, i don't. i take it down a notch. i engage. because i've been given the tools to do it. peter: one of your profiles in your book is someone named harry mcmurray. who was he? >> my cousin mark's son who died by suicide. harry was a wonderful young man. my first cousins on my mom's side we would often spend summers together, we grew up together. most people know the kennedy side of my family, but my mom's side, many of the illnesses that affected me are from my mom's side. so mark, my first

there's a report that steel team six, the unit that killed osama bin laden, they had been preparing forear for this. china's defense ministry just announced drills with russia's military. u.s. and chinese military commanders did speak by phone earlier this week for the first time in years, trying to avoid, quote, miscalculation. i want to ask about this. the fact this comes out of steel team six is surprising to me, considering that is a group that is veiled in the secrecy for good reason and now this report is out there. >> look, i don't think it's any surprise that they're continuing to ramp up efforts ensuring the against of taiwan or the china straits, it's going to look to be utilized. whether it was against seventh fleet, continuing to prep be pair for, we do this constantly where we prepare for different types of potential scenarios and we do that with all of our special operations, whether it's any of the others, so this is just kind of part of the drills and again, this is the same thing that china does when practicing the blockades to look at how they would have taken over tai

we were attacked on 9/11 by al qaeda and osama bin laden. we brought him justice. then i came to the presidency in another moment of crisis and uncertainty. i believed america had to looked forward. new challenges, new threats, new opportunities were in front of us. we needed to put ourselves in a position to see the threats, to deal with the challenges, and to seize the opportunities as well. we needed to end the era of war that began on 9/11. as vice president to president obama he asked me to work to wind down the military operations in iraq and we did, painful as it was. when i came to office as president, afghanistan had replaced vietnam as america's longest war. i was determined to end it and i did. it was a hard decision but the right decision. four american presidents had faced that decision but i was determined not to leave it to the fifth. it was a decision accompanied by tragedy, 13 brave americans lost their lives along with hundreds of afghans in a suicide bomb. i think of those lost lives every day and all the military deaths over the long years of th

we feel similar to american people felt when osama bin laden was can killed. he was a terrorist, he killed americans, israelis, he bombed embassies, kidnapped citizens, and i think it's a great achievement of the idf. you know -- [inaudible] for 11 months, so we are kind of used to it. but we will continue with our lives. schools will stay open in israel tomorrow, but we decided to limit mega events, concerts to see what will happen in the next few days. but i think the message was very clear, he will hunt down those terrorists wherever they are. they can cannot hide. not only we got rid of nasrallah, but we send a clear message to his friends in beirut and other capitals in the middle east. neil: iran, as you probably know, ambassador, said it will respond. of course, it's still waiting to see what kind of response it would have to taking out a top hamas leader little more than eight weeks ago. but i am curious what you anticipate or what israellys are preparing for. israelis are preparing for. >> as i mentioned earlier, we are watching very carefully. but be
