interest of the united states, instead of going after al qaeda, the u.s. is making these threats and essentially acting as the protecters of al qaeda, in idlib, in syria, and other terrorist groups? how is this not a complete kick in the face and insult to the american people, all those lives lost on 9/11, first responders, our troops, their families, everyone who has sacrificed so much. >> congresswoman, i would strongly dispute the notion that we're protecting al qaeda in idlib, we're protecting al qaeda in any fashion. >> how can you dispute this when all indications if you follow this path and this trail and the reality that al qaeda and other terrorist groups are in control of idlib today? and our congress has threatened any of these other countries who are -- have talked about attacking these terrorist groups in idlib. how can you see it any other fashion? >> we'll be happy to talk about the dynamics in idlib in closed session. >> do you dispute the numbers general dunford confirmed publicly? is. >> i think those numbers may refer to a global isis nu

five years ago islamic state in iraq and syria emerged from the remnants of al qaeda in iraq. isis killed and pillaged. the goal of isis was to develop syria as a base of operations for global terrorist networks. isis has some initial success. the group quickly seized the territory including in eastern syria. while the united states continued to speak out against the atrocities of the syrian government isis posed the possibility of a ruthless anti- american terrorist group controlling a large and important region. therefore, the united states insisted some of those fighting isis assisted some of those fighting i suspect there have been important victory since march 2017. significant territory has been liberty just liberated from isis. nonetheless, it continues to pose a threat . the department of those isis is well- positioned to rebuild . the they could recapture lost territory. the goal of the united states is to prevent this possibility . the is essential that our nation carefully calibrated its response. the syrian situation is extraordinarily complex. turkey iraq, israel,

there is an al qaeda unit in indonesia. there is some al qaeda in yemen. work as a quite national campaign against al qaeda. these are small units in countries of lesser importance. iraqeanwhile, there is that is still out there. of the first sign you get the administration thinking about going to war in iraq is in bush's state of the union agree -- address of the beginning of 2002 where he talks about the axis of evil. the axis of evil is iraq, iran, and north rea -- north korea. brian: let me run seven seconds of a statement of george w. that interview. >> they are asking did i make a mistake in the liberation of iraq? the answer is no i didn't make a mistake in my judgment. brian: comment? james: yes, he made a huge mistake. to the extent that bush has he admitsistakes, tactical mistakes that were central to the war without ever war inthat the entire iraq was a mistake. so we can talk, the mistakes he has admitted, he admitted he the missionke in accomplished landing on an aircraft carrier, and he admitted, and others have admitted, that the way they ha

rather than going after al qaeda and defeated al qaeda, the united states is acting against the tletzs. how is this not a complete kick in the face to all of the victims o 9/11, the troops, their families, everyone who has lost so much? >> i would strongly object to protecting isis in idlib. >> how can you say that if you follow this path and trail in reality that troops are in control of idlib today and our government has threatened any of these other countries ho have talked about attacking these terrorist groups in idlib? >> we'll be happy to talk about some of this in closed session. >> do you dispute those numbers that general dumford has said? he was very specific to say 20,000 to 30,000 plus al qaeda and other troops in idlib. >> there's no dispute that idlib has become a hornest's northwest of mull. terrorist organizes rchl gredly this is the product of russia to control the regime on the ground in syria. they yusz escalation zones in deals to purge areas in syria and have used idlib as a dumping ground and they have allowed free transit of the worst terrorists to go to idlib.

al qaeda related militias to actually recruiting al qaeda fighters to fight for the coalition how can the emirates combat terrorism efficiently when it is faced with the accusation of the same thing. and there you are you have always been committed to fight against terrorists we respect the international laws we respect also you and and the. international security council resolutions our role in yemen we've been asked by the digital meter government. to government so that they can stop the killing of the civilians there and also what happened through the minority of who sees who try to hijack the country from its own people. we joined that abian condition with. that by so doing and at the beginning we had to seven eyes the situation room military action but now more than ever i would rule is how we can bring prosperity and also stability again to yemen through empowering its people to fight for their own country and also so helping them to continue so that we are bringing hope through. the tremendous military and that the u.a.e. is participating in yemen it's one of the highest you kn

that's the al qaeda affiliate in the area has opposed the agreement. but. they seem to have listened to that turkish patterns they seem to have decided to oppose it publicly but at the same time to accept that they are in a weak position and they and they feel it's control about seventy percent of the demilitarized zone h.t.s. that the formal nusra front is the. strongest insurgent organize. zation in italy and it's the one organization that the turks don't control ok now you know this agreement between turkey and russia has been described as an example of responsible diplomacy and at averting a humanitarian disaster in. do you think you could really work because that is the key form for me that sounds a little bit too positive it will work for some time but it is clear president assad has said that about two days ago that the syrian state will regain its control of its live province it might last for for a while it might last months or perhaps even years for the syrian state to regain control of it but it will conquer this region and if the insurgents don'

we fought against al qaeda and the taliban before the attack on new york and washington dc. we are the same state that fought against the distorted representation of islam. we were engaged in the fight before operations in paris, london, and brussels. appreciate these historical realities. quit imposing sanctions and and extremism. the world will not have a better friend than iran if peace is what you seek. i thank you for your attention.

after the break why did a british fire engine end up being used by al-qaeda linked groups in syria and what is the stage of my response that britain one hundred years is today this is the founding of the fire brigades union and is the u.k. troubling along when it comes to climate change is the world quickens it's all the more coming out about to going underground. the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. there's a lot of sympathy but they want to become law. enthroned i wanted us to sum this up but i think many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentry sides of the draft used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities how to best person as band. listen to more don't have it up next time i get i'm in a lot of class and i want that. they cannot watch as they all choose to stay in the country with donald trump in the one time. political rivals of those fifty one fifty who can beat up to the. offense it struggle to many couples won't. kill with the push to put impulse response both both up for a few up of up to the h

the last majority of them were lost fighting the long war against al qaeda. they include johnny michael span, a brave former marine and the first american to die in the line of duty in afghanistan. they also include a dear friend of mine, a devoted wife and mother of three who was one of our greatest al qaeda experts. she was utterly determined to pursue the terrorists who attacked our country even if it meant putting herself in harm's way. people often ask cia directors what keeps them up at night. between rogue, weapons of mass destruction programs, cyber threats, terrorist organizations, great power rivalries, and other global threats, there is bound to be more than a single reason i'm losing sleep on any given night, but i'd like to share with you a story i keep in mind when things get tough. i served in africa early in my career, and one day a group of us, largely diplomats, set out to climb mt. kilimanjaro. our guide was a wonderful man, a diplomat himself, who had been born at the base of the mountain. his approach was simple. three days up, two days d

care of the situation on their own right now even though the coalition forces are helping to battle al qaeda is it still a strong as ever. it is human it is a song i think it is you know just waiting for an abortion if you to see the. country fragment to take advantage of that fragmentation the what's happening in our area as it is out of the war and conflict between the political parties and the leadership in order political parties this has resulted really in a situation which seems to need to fragmentation and this is what al qaida and other terrorist groups are waiting for so the better for all of these political parties really to get together to see how they prevent this for a moment ation in order to be able to confront the different types of militias including the terrorist groups so the coalition is mounting an offensive that the only port left in his hands to secede it press writing that cutting to the south the ocean will mean famine death for millions why does the coalition resort to something so medieval as a flood located in the side against the. well as you know i think bouquet

hired the spear operations group to carry out this operation against the al islam party which is not al-qaeda they are not affiliated with transnational terrorism they are a group a political party that is playing a role in yemeni politics as a representative of the muslim brotherhood which the u.a.e. and saudi arabia typically see as one. if there are key adversaries the muslim brotherhood wants an islamic republican model the u.a.e. and the saudis are threatened by that because they want an islamic monarchy and so they feel challenged at the same time in yemen the saudis in the u.a.e. have been assisted by the islam he's in their campaign to take the southern city of god and from the who so the it's like he's were actually allies of convenience with the d's and the saudis and then the go ahead and carry out this assassination campaign because of a lot of factors the a slice and the people in the south in general in yemen who are sunni are getting tired of seeing these foreign invaders come in and take over their sea parts sea ports like the m.r.i. adiz there's pressure to get them out these

whichng of al qaeda represents the biggest threat to the united states. that is the clearest message we can send to them because right now, we are telegraphing to the world that you can come after u.s. residents, kill them with almost total impunity. dennis: 30 seconds to rebut. mr. corey: $150 billion that went to iran was a poor renders -- horrendous deal and help them cause discourse. that is not one country that would allow a has below-like interest group -- hezbollah-like interest group to sit on their border. we have lost a lot of american lives and american soldiers due to that iranian deal. there are proxy wars all over the country. dennis: senator murphy, you voted against neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh. two supreme court justices are currently in their 80's, so it is possible president trump will get to nominate another judge or possibly two. are any on the list acceptable to you or what kind of jurist would be acceptable? sen. murphy: when i am talking to folks in connecticut, they tell me they want a supreme court that squares with connectic

which was al-qaeda affiliated which was isis and which was genuine freedom fighters if you will and i'm not at all sure there are any of those in syria but it really is a hard sorting but i really meant airstrikes on after not on i saying. well i don't know that we've been conducting airstrikes on assad's forces as such as they are regular forces when they have i say if we have i think yeah well i think it's been accidental the de confliction between russian airpower u.s. air power syrian air power has been quite good the cooperation between russia syria and the united states has been quite good at the tactical level and that's why we haven't seen more of these arab bombings or a shoot down of a russian plane or a u.s. plane or syrian plane the recent shoot down of the israeli planes i think blood near putin has explained quite well for my military. attitude they do israeli planes were hiding behind the russian plane and they got shot down as a result by syrian batteries show i says was cleared out of its main strongholds relatively quickly once defensive started but now the coaliti

in the la paz mizo name and multiple times they called yemen a house in sana'a yemen that was an al qaeda switchboard you couldn't call directly to afghanistan so in order to get information to afghanistan out they used this house and yemen and it was a house owned by khalid almihdhar father in law who happened to be a top lieutenant of bin laden's who is his good friend from the. mujahedeen days and so the n.s.a. and the cia were monitoring this house it's how they found out about the malaysia planning summit was listening to the calls in this house so just when this period happens where this call is not going out but coming from the united states from san diego to this house that should've been a hot fire emergency because they were on the they were on the watch list anyway just described to me and you describe it in the book what it felt like for you and your co-author when kluck said there was a high level decision in the cia not to share information with the white house it was actually a very stark moment as a kid we thought we were going to have to sort of slow roll and kind of admi

in this part of the world they speak about fighting terrorism they invade afghanistan because of al qaeda and then they support al qaeda in syria they allow extremists to go to libya to help destroy the country but no one in france is going to go to jail for this or be punished and none of these people who for example provided saddam hussein with chemical weapons to use against the iranians for years no one in europe is ever going to go to jail in fact they're all see in c.e.o.'s of companies they're in government they're in parliament so i don't think the iranians take this sort of thing serious or serious at all western countries want to play on both sides they want to be the advocates of human rights but they also support terrorism in the trot atrocities when the need be mohammad marandi good speaker. plenty more ahead on this news hour wondering where the next meal will come from now a jump in colorado cases in yemen is adding to famine concerns. and a salary hike families on workers in the u.s. and britain but will their working conditions improve. las vegas police reopen a sexual as

the groups such as isis and al qaeda direct the finance and inspire the attacks. last week the president released a counterterrorism strategy laying out the path to victory against these and directed up the step for the fight against transnational criminal organizations outsourcing their work and to diversify into the activities and cooperating with the identity forgers, money launderers, smugglers, traffickers, drug runners and killers. they are not only embedding their enterprises, they are also selling their illicit ware waren the virtual world. we are securing the border with new puzzle now and technology. we banned the screening and abetting and including background checks for the technology and operationalizing a groundbreaking national diving center. we are working to make it harder for the terrorists and criminals to weaponize. third, we are witnessing a resurgence of the nationstate threats. countries such as china, iran and russia are willing to use all elements of national power to undermine us into the overall threat from the foreign adversaries is at

in regard to isis, al qaeda in those types of organizations we are defeating on the battlefield. how are we doing it both tracking in terms of the internet calendaring their efforts on the internet and then making sure they are tracking someone who may become radicalized in this country and calendaring that threat. >> it's amongst the largest problems we have. >> how well are we doing it and are at top of it? >> as the strategy that came out last week indicated, we have to do far better in the full range of nine kinetic measures and it is certainly one of them. the, they are much more willing to work with us than they were. they take down lots of people and we are getting into difficult questions. no agreed-upon definition of maggots into free speech in a hurry. the conversation is far more sophisticated, far healthier. on this very issue with a lot of concerns within the e.u. of how well it is or isn't going. a large challenge going forward the cause as the terrorists get younger, and opposes massive issues. >> are you able to training and talent you are you able to attract thos

operations against al qaeda and other counter terrorism issues in yemen. so that question is rising and will continue to arise probably through the next period politically. the second type of questions, the process is that the state department will notify the senate and foreign military sales on discreet items. usually they're boring rubber-stamps and this is not a big deal and over the past two or three years this has become a huge hub for oversight, particularly looking at items that are being sold through foreign military sales to members of the coalition. so there have been role call votes on disapproval on items being sold to members of the coalition who have a belief that the item has a role, and on an item that had nothing to do with the war on yemen in 2016. so that has been a line of oversight that has gained a lot of congressional attention and will continue to do so and the third is the legislative activity around the department of defense support militarily and logistical support for the coalition and this is the actual manifestation and real t
