the al qaeda. we know he has a long standing relationship with al qaida. that wasn't true. and i think cheney knew it. but i can't prove that. well. policymakers here, if you're talking two days before before the war, they're mobilizing american opinion for the war. it doesn't explain those those quotations aides don't explain why the decisions that were made just a few days. there's this a difference between what is influencing policymakers and what they are saying to the public in order mobilize support behind a particular policy, as is all as is always the case. how has u.s. foreign policy changed since 2003? are you still out of this? are you talking about compared to today? well, yeah, just over the last 20 years of. do you see any major changes in your. well, of course. of course. the quagmire, war and debacle in iraq had huge impact over the subsequent years in terms of president obama's willingness to get involved in various types of insurgencies. it led to a great deal of caution in terms of what to do in in syria, in libya. it it affected what the united states wo

the main goal of the long-term freedom operation was to destroy the bases of al-qaeda and the taliban in afghanistan. the attacks of the taliban had intensified, so the order to send 30,000 more troops to afghanistan did not improve the quality of the work force. the more time passed, the more he won this war would also become more difficult, but i don't want 10 million people to be killed. if i want to win this war, afghanistan must disappear from the face of the earth . in the end, the targets of the war left everything to them and left afghanistan. iran and the united states ended the 20-year war in afghanistan, the longest war in the history of the united states . their country was the enemy and the institution watson directly killed more than 240,000 people in afghanistan and left a cost of 2,000,000,000 dollars. however , george bush, who was the initiator of these deadly attacks , thinks that leaving afghanistan is a wrong micro decision and proves it otherwise. believable when he wants to be. this decision hurts my heart. more than two decades after the beginning of operation

one of them was the continued alliance the taliban has with al qaeda. they were allied with them before 9/11, they continued their alliance for 20 years, and it continues today, despite president biden's claims during the withdrawal that al qaeda was gone from afghanistan. this was not true. the alliance was never broken. because the taliban was not following the terms of the delhi doha agreement, this was a choice that president biden made to pick the 20's anniversary of 9/11 to withdraw in the middle of afghan fighting season. these are choices president biden made. he was not painted into a corner. host: james, do you guys agree the united states should have pulled out and your beef is how it pulled out? or you think troops should have remained in afghanistan? mr. hasson: great question because i think it is a difficult one. as jerry mentioned, a lot of the things we were doing in terms of nationbuilding, trying to create democracy, we are just not working. there is a great case to be made that if we kept a couple thousand troops there, we could've p

we terrify islamic state, al-qaeda and other gangsters.mercenary group's ambitions in africa. and here is one of the reasons why wagner is fighting here in mali. natural resources like this gold make a huge profit for the group. this is one of mali's many gold processing plants. it's only a small operation, with little heavy machinery, and much of the panning and smelting done by hand. but with hundreds of sites like this across the country, mali manages to produce more than 60 tonnes of gold a year — making it one of africa's top five exporters. wagner has also been accused of human rights violations in africa. these pictures, released by the french military before they left, allegedly show fighters burying bodies in a mass grave in eastern mali. bilal ag acherif, the leader of an arab rebel group in the area, told us wagner had not helped the security situation in mali. translation: in the areas of wagner are operating in, in north and central mali, they committed a lot of crimes, taking people's belongings, killing innocent people indis

arm groups to disconnect themselves from al qaeda. al qaeda gives the sources of income to the taliban even now and other international groups. you see even the taliban themselves say we are going to displace them for example from southern afghanistan to northern afghanistan. and since the other groups from uzbekistan, china, they are working on treaties and provinces and the people of afghanistan are witnessing that, they are seeing that. so you can see that for all these terrorist groups. so above all, whose expectation of the taliban disconnect themselves from al qaeda? they are fighting against the u.s., so to any other international organization, no, because they know that disconnecting themselves from any international groups would not suit the ideology, the objectives that the taliban defines. so that is why i believe that as the isis was discontent members of al qaeda, the same way there are discontented members in afghanistan. they know the strategy and the means and approach crafted by the taliban, so i think these are claim

musa is associated with al-qaeda, like many of those who support al-qaeda here, which is made up of small local residents. he says he prefers their strict but the orderly way of governing than the more violent one practiced by the islamic state is annamentasya with us in accordance with islam. innocent people they burned their houses cattle and shops they don't treat muslims like that alka is coming to help us she orders us to pray and follow the religion of the prophet with the escalation of the conflict between the jihadist groups last year mali authorities rejected western aid while support for russia increased on the streets many in mali made a bet on yevgeny prigozhin, and the french military operation ended . wagner's fighters arrived to replace them just a few days ago, a parishioner starred in this video promising to rid the country of of the islamist threat, some of his supporters claim that the clip was filmed in africa. perhaps even in mali , the wagner group of rpd conducts reconnaissance and search activities. we make russia even bigger on all continents. africa is even freer

this year. but the leaders of al-qaeda had fled to pakistan and the taliban attacks had been explained, therefore ordering 30,000 special forces to be sent to afghanistan, but the goodness of more forces did not solve the problem. i can overcome the weakness of a week of war, but i don't want 10 million people to be killed. if i want to win this war , afghanistan must be a mosquito. what was the situation when the americans entered into negotiations with the taliban ? the main goals of war and ultimately everyone they left the thing to them and left afghanistan, iran, america ended the 20-year war in afghanistan, the longest war in the history of the united states. according to the report of the watson institute, the war in afghanistan has directly killed more than 240,000 people and left a cost of over 2 trillion dollars . however, george bush, who started this deadly domino , made the decision of leaving afghanistan irrevocably wrong. believe me, this is when he wants the decision hurts my heart. more than two decades after the beginning of operation long term freedom, nearly two-thi

i, myself, have been doing work since soon after 9/11, focus on al qaeda radicalization and recruitment. when osama bin laden was killed, isis came on the scene and rand started doing work then. rand has done a lot of domestic work on domestic extremism. ryan brown and i co-led a series on violence in america and constructed interviews with former violent extremists. but rand has also done other work including the wing extremism or races extremism and including in the military. brian and i, and more broadly rand, has done this over the years. january 6 is really what sparked america's interest in the issue of veterans. soon after the riots, reports were suggesting sometimes even 25% of those who identified -- who were identified in the rice had military paths. most often in the past but sometimes current. i think we are all aware of ashli babbitt, the air force officer who was shot and killed during the assault. and the proud boys's membership is heavily loaded with veterans. three out of four members of the proud boys convicted of seditious conspiracy were military members. this has ra
