bin laden's time in the shadow of his mentor abdullah azzam would be short-lived.erely content to fund the fight, bin laden would join it. his countless hours and days in the harsh saudi desert without shelter and with few provisions had prepared him for this moment. it was always his belief that he was destined to be a holy warrior. >> i think he's always modeled himself on the prophet mohammed and the prophet mohammed was not only a great religious figure but also somebody who personally battled the infidels. so for bin laden it would have been important to continue in the prophet mohammed's footsteps. >> reporter: for bin laden the early days on the battlefield were terrifying. >> when bin laden used to hear the explosions, he used to jump and he used to run away. i still remember that me and my elder and younger brother, we used to laugh. >> reporter: but several years on the battlefield would harden bin laden. fear gave way to ambition. mohammed bin laden's shy and reticent young son osama, once reluctant to lead, was now ready to command his own all-arab army

is this king different from king abdullah? bruce: >> king abdullah was a reformer.iving women the right to vote in municipal elections. municipal elections are not a big deal. by giving women the right to vote, even for in consequential positions, is a big deal. charlie: and not only that, to run. and some of them actually one. men voted some saudi for women. that is a big deal. the king could have turned it off, but he didn't. you don't know why he decided to do that. but by the standards of --the crown prince is a skilled counterterrorist professional. he is also something of a reactionary, like his mother was before him. -- like his father was before him. he only has daughter so presumably he is a little more interested in gender. he is not a reformer like king abdullah. charlie: people sit at this table and say that within the next 10 years we will be closer to iran than we are to saudi arabia. bruce: they can look at the geopolitics and say there is a more natural relationship between the united states and iran that was interrupted by the shah's bruce: i think

he is not a reformer like king abdullah.harlie: people sit at this table and say that within the next 10 years we will be closer to iran than we are to saudi arabia. -- a lot of saudi's think that as well. they can look at the geopolitics and say there is a more natural relationship between the united states and iran that was interrupted by the shah's downfall, but inevitably the u.s. will go back to being friends with the iranians. be verywe need to careful how we do this. reallyy the iranians but we be our friends, also have to keep a close eye on the saudi's. my impression is everybody i ever met in the cia is close to the saudi's. bruce: saudi arabia is very very important to the u.s. intelligence services. like a lot of arab are fundamentally policed state at the end of the day. security services are the most important people. it is no accident that the crown prince was minister of the interior, and that he runs the secret police in the country. it is not an accident that he has now been elevated. he has demonstrated he

then i received a message from a guy, abdullah.s asking me where i was from, how long i had been in saudi arabia. i -- i remembered tom and his rule about not dating any saudis or meeting any saudis. but i felt that he had lived in the uk. he was educated. so then i just thought, well, you know, it should be safe enough. it should be okay. >> oh, hey. >> hi. >> he was a typical saudi man. i wouldn't say i was overly taken by him, you know, the way i had been with fred. but i just wanted to go and meet somebody and talk to them and, you know, i was really lonely. if i had known then what i know now, i would never have done it. i met him the next day. we went to the coffee shop. he was very westernized. he was wearing jeans and a t-shirt. >> how do you do? nice to meet you. have a seat. >> he spoke about how he wanted to leave saudi arabia and live in the west, that you had a much better life there. he could be who he was. so, you know, from that i didn't feel that i was in any danger whatsoever from him. after coffee, we went back t

abdullah and dr. ghani, they have good relations, but they have to listen to their other allies.are influenced by their other allies. therefore, they share the authority to appoint people. and this makes appointment very, very, you know, slow. on the other hand, this also brings another problem. the problíírl is instead of working through institutions, empowering institutions, individuals are becoming empowered. and that undermines the effectiveness of the government. so, therefore, i think the real solution is what is in the deal. it says at the end of the two years -- in order to legalize government. if dr. abdullah is there with the review of the constitution, it becomes the prime minister, then he will be prime minister, then he will work for the president. now president and prime minister or ceo who is appointed by a decree of the president. he has the same power, equal power, authority. and the third while the president has the constitutionaf legitimacy, it has its power, authority from the constitution. dr. abdullah gets it from the decree of the president, however, he doe

what is the latest situation, abdullah?reporter: nick, we spoke earlier on the provincial police they arrived late on monday and starting the clearing operation, they said so far four ou outposs taken by the taliban have been retake bine the afghan forces a number of afghan forces who are under siege by taliban fighters are now free and they were -- they were delivered with food, water, and ammunition surprise. afghan special forces are moving in slowly, now we understand from the provincial police spokesperson that british troops are assisting afghan forces in this battle with the taliban. now british forces have fought for many years here. and they defended it after giving a heavy casualties. we have now winter has started in afghanistan and it -- and we see a spike in talibans' offensive which is not normal. compared to past few years. now, afghan forces without the nato's military might and air support is proving to be moving very slow against the taliban fighters who are gaining territory in the south or other parts of

that's all abdullah's work. he set this in train. king salman could have turned it off but he didn't. we don't know why he decided to do that. but by the standards of abdullah, i would say salman is much more of a reformer. >> rose: crown prince? the crown prince is a skilled counterterrorist professional. he's also something of a reactionary like his father was before him. not a complete reactionary. he only has daughters, so presumably he's a little more interested in gender issues, but he's not a reformer like king abdullah. >> rose: people sit at this table and say within the next ten years from now we'll be closer to iran than saudi arabia. >> a lot of saudis thinks that's what the united states tends to do as well. they can look at the geopolitics and all of this and say there is a more natural relationship between the united states and iran that was interrupted by the shah's downfall but inevitably the united states will go back to being friends with the iranians. i think we need to be very careful how we do this. i don't thin

third quarter, a -- a mere abdullah, saves -- amir abdullah saves the past. >>> you know the old sportshat sports doesn't build character, it reveals it. certainly on display in the new york giants carolina panthers game. seldom do we see an professional athlete like beckham junior did. flagged three times for personal fouls continually mixing it up with josh norman. the nfl suspended beckham for one game or about -- and about 50,000 -- $50,000 in lost salary. he launched headfirst into norman's helmet. both of them could have actually been seriously injured. egregious behavior by beckham. pretty lucky he was only suspended one game. that's about as low as you can get. >> how many personal cells do you need before you get ejected? >> thanks for joining us tonight. coming up next, modern family.>> we leave you with a nice shot.

other revolutionary -- i think the comparisons should be between them and the journey of mohammed abdullah because that is at -- actually who they aspire -- it is not so simple. -- it is not the state itself, it is the people, the 5000 princes, some of them have stronger alliances with the others. it is not so black and white. for those that argue that it is not so black and white, why is it that when a liberal speaks one sentence outline, he is cut like this? you have millions and millions of dollars invested in islamic , thats and mosques basically perpetuate hate and violence. you would not believe the amount of excitement against the west and the hate. stop giving us all of this hate. stop -- there is definitely an enormous role for them to play. i do not see, personally, that we contact -- can tackle this without going to the source. at the same time, it is not the state itself, maybe people within the state. it is not so black and white. >> i have a question, because yesterday i was at the conference in turkey and they were talking about oil and they said it was not necessarily turke

i think absolutely there has to be a strong international coalition -- king abdullah of jordan has made this point, the war that's going on is for the soul of islam, muslim troops have to come together on the ground to take on isis. what i also believe is that wealthy countries like qatar the wealthiest country on earth, hosting the world cup in 2022, theyl have to help us destroy isis. >>> we'll be right back with governor chris christie. to the couple who set aside the whole day to sell their old car and buy a new one... oops. nana's got the kids til 9... but it's only 2. guess you'll just have to see a movie... ...then get some dinner. this is a story about doers, the artificial heart, electric guitars and rockets to the moon. it's the story of america- land of the doers. doin' it. did it. done. doers built this country. the dams and the railroads. john henry was a steel drivin' man hmm, catchy. they built the golden gates and the empire states. and all this doin' takes energy -no matter who's doin'. there's all kinds of doin' up in here. or what they're doin'. what the heck's he doi

abdullah genuinely believe that each of them believe that he won the election. their followers. so as we were even starting to begin the discussion, there was also a huge gap, each side feeling it had won the election. therefore, why was it being asked to enter into a discussion with the other side about what the government would be like. and this was also in the context of lack of clarity about what the outcome of the elections would eventually prove to be. so it was a very fraught political exercise. anybody who has been involved in politics, if you put yourself in their place for one second, you realize how difficult this was. even in countries that have experience in creating coalition arrangements in governing find it difficult to come to agreement and to then implement government. there's no experience in doing this in afghanistan at all. so it's no surprise that they are struggling. the relationship -- i agree with mr. jalali, the relationship between the two men is pretty good. they each understand what is at stake and to their credit they both took an i
