wanted assad to go. so could you say a little bit more about what the stakes were, and still are, in this situation in syria? and also maybe going back to what happened under obama, the issue of congress' role. >> guest: i'll start with the congress part first because this becomes the out for obama, when he's contemplating using military force or not. as readers will see when they read the book it's quite complicated because obama is horrified initially by this chemical weapons attack. he's given this red line warning and he intends to back it up. he has a military operation plan. the ships are in the mediterranean. the missiles are in the tubes ready to go but there are number of factors that get in the way and one is this a problem of wmd in the middle east, we have a bad history of misinterpreting wmd and starting wars. so want to make sure the intelligence was right. inspectors on the ground to deal with so that was a delaying the thing. other countries started to back with an idea, the british were

so turkey is increasingly closing ranks with the assad regime in order to try to collectively get ridunited states and bring the kurdish region back under some kind of control whether it is turkish control or assad who are competing powers, but they have a common goal, which is to get america out and to undo this autonomous quasi- independent region that america has built. and i think america will leave, not under this administration because it has promised not to, maybe not even under the next one. but it will eventually leave and it will be like afghanistan where the kurdish leaders who have hung their hats on america and become very dependent will have to flee the country and the second rank of kurdish leaders will make a deal with assad who needs them to rule in northeast himself, just like the americans do. so i think that is the likely future in the region. until that happens, there is going to be chaos, raqqa is not going to be rebuilt. and america is not really interested in the northeast because it does not want an independent state. it really will try to get out in the next

assad was taken over by the same muslim brothers of the protector of the united states.nited states claims against syria have been accumulating since the beginning of the 2000s since the secretary of state. colin powell in 2003 , voiced a list of demands for damascus among them the recognition of a series of american operations in iraq and the new government's refusal in syria to accept political refugees from cancer on its territory, as well as the improvement of relations with israel on the terms of jerusalem, agree such conditions in unilaterally, at least strange, damascus refused george w. bush imposed an economic blockade of the series and began to sharpen a tooth on the assad family, information bombs first flew, damascus was continuously subjected to information attacks, in which international and regional organizations and their media take part in the anti-syrian pool. the media enters such giants of the information business as assachey test usa reuters uk and franz press france through these agencies anti-series information centers are coordinating their effort

assad failed, however fighting . the war did not end there.es, there are still about ten clans and parties according to the libyan scenario. still shooting and trying to take territory. and here is the igil? still in place, albeit weakened. how do you understand the general welfare is again postponed? indefinitely, over the course of this conflict , america has gone through three administrations. and each had its own policy. that is, if obama is everything, well, in general , he supported uh, the trumps were very indifferent to this and in general, hmm, he tried to deal with a big exodus of the united states from the middle east well, apart from a couple of missile strikes on syria, nothing, especially did not take this attitude of this country . that's it with biden. ah, well, most likely trump's policy continues. although there are some attempts to get involved in this situation too. in simple terms, they trampled on the middle east and washed the hands of hope for a better youth, which was the core of the protests not justified unemployment

red line," tells a powerful story about how the united states worked to destroy president bashar al-assad of syria to destroy his arsenal of chemical weapons. and it really does read like a thriller in many places, except it's a very compelling book and i'm sure you will get a lot out of reading it. i published a book a couple of years ago where i accepted the conventional wisdom that russia and the united states worked together on chemical weapons, but of course if you read joby warrick's book, you will see they've done a lot to obstruct it and that is a whole another story, so i'm going to begin with the first question. can you tell us why you decided this. >> guest: i'm honored to be with the experts in this country. it's terrific and i couldn't have recommended it highly enough. why i do this book is for several reasons, but as a storyteller, story uses the courtesy of our trade and this is amazing as tragic as it is. all of the drama of trying to get this stuff out and then having the syria policy collapse around it so that was part of it and then the more i got into the subject, the

assad used chemical weapons. so there was a lot of other things happening in the middle east that think diverted the white house from paying attention to this particular file. michael, let me follow up with you, if i may, on that. you know, the subtitle from barack obama to donald trump, what were the similarities and differences that you saw between the two administrations, how they viewed and prosecute of the war? so during the presidential campaign, then candidate trump made a number of statements that. why should he become president? he was going to bomb the heck of isis, except he didn't use the word hack and the and take the gloves off. so speak and change the strategy. but in point of fact, president trump did not change the strategy and he did not change the rules of engagement, according to commanders i've talked to basically what the what he did was he reduced a level of white house oversight. critics would say micromanagement that's slowed the pace of decisions. for example, at the end of the obama adm

isis doesn't like bashar al-assad either, why should we fight those guys? because we are asking you to. and nobody does anything out of pure altruism so we provided incentives for them, through types of support and one of the most important was air support. we provided them with the ability to conduct operations of interest to them and in return for conducting interests, operations of interest to the fight against isis so security force assistance was a bit of a learning process, getting to know who's equities were in play and how they balanced out against one another, then the challenge of the fact that a lot of these forces on the ground, syria, we had nobody on the ground initially to engage with them and in iraq we had people on the ground but they left for training equipped for counterinsurgency battle. that was not what we were fighting, isis was a proto-state, it had a hybrid forces in the field bordering on conventional capabilities and we had to retrain and requip a lot of those forces to enable them to fight effectively and we also had to go throu

if you remember the struggle of the syrians against assad went on for nine, ten years.after all of that and all of the killings, so many cities flattened, so many people killed. but i'm not seeing iran and syria are the same keep it in perspective. it will probably take it while. but obviously, the government shaken to the core. the headlines on bbc news... police in ireland have named the 10 people who died in an explosion at a petrol station in donegal. investigations are ongoing to establish the cause. ukranian officials say 17 people have been killed by a russian missile strike on an apartment block in the south—eastern city zaporizhzia. cabinet ministers are urging tories to rally behind prime minister liz truss, to avoid risk of defeat at the next election. a 22—year—old woman has died after being struck by a car which mounted the pavement outside a takeaway in shropshire. it happened in the early hours of this morning in in 0swestry in. another person was also seriously injured in the incident and is in hospital. west mercia police have arrested a 28—year—old man

this will continue rejecting any support to rehabilitate the assad regime, particularly from designated terrorist organizations. like i'm us. well, theory is president bashar al assad has welcome the reconciliation of relations with the mass movement following a decade long absence, the clearing it a sign of the future in the middle east. come out, also emphasized that it believes the move is a big step. this is a glorious, an important day in which we come back to our dear syria to resume joint work. we are restoring our relations with syria, with the consensus of our leadership. this is a new start for joint palestinian sirian action. while some background co operation between the 2 brawn to a halt in 2012 due to the palestinian militant movements discontent with the syrian government policy on the eve of civil war in the country. from 1999, hamas had used the muskets as its headquarters for its overseas relations. while the new round of cooperation comes amid similar moves between other middle east states after a long pause. busy as an example of that, the egyptian president recently

will continue rejecting any support to rehabilitate the assad regime a particularly from designated terrorist organizations. like amongst all adversely, a serious president, bashar al assad has welcomed the reconciliation of relations with the hamas movement following a decade long absence declaring that a sign of the future of the middle east. huh. also emphasized that it believed the move is a big step of the right direction. this is a glorious and important day in which we come back to our dear syria to resume joint work. we are restoring our relations with syria, with the consensus of our leadership. this is a new start for joint palestinian syrian action cooperation between the 2 ground to hold in 2012. that was due to the palestinian militant movements discontent with syrian government policy on the eve of what the mainstream media called a civil war in the country. from 999 hammers had used a mascot at its headquarters of all of its overseas relations. now the new round of cooperation does come. it's similar moves happening between other middle eastern states, often fairly long pause i

well sir e as president, bashar al assad house, welcome the reconciliation of relations with a mass movement following a decade long absence of the view towards the future. in the middle east, i'm us also emphasized it believes the movies on the important step. this is a glorious, an important day in which we come back to our dear syria to resume joint work. we are restoring our relations with syria, with the consensus of our leadership. this is a new start for joint palestinian syrian action cooperation between the 2 grind to a halt in 2012 due to the palestinian militant movements discontent with the syrian government policy on the eve of civil war in the country from 1900 and her mother had used the mask as, as its headquarters for its overseas relations. the neurons of cooperation comes in, made similar moves between other middle east states after long pauses. just to give some examples of that. the a gyptian president recently paid a 2 day visit to todd after a 4 year ref, between cairo. undo ha. marking what he labels a new euro in relations, while iran is continuing talks with saudi a

wars happening not just one lever fighting isis which was my war also thest civil war against the assadime and then the russians showed up about one week after i did. getting that command-and-control structure together enabled us to have an effort because isis was not constrained by the linee they view themselves as one single caliphate. and that was essential to making progress and then once we had that, we could round out a campaign plan and that was the priority were defeating isis the second most important was building partner capacity in iraq and syria and leveraging coalition as best we could because of the contributing nations coming with the red cards and the caveat to get air and ground operations in syria and plot that as a fan diagram he would only find one flag and one that we would all recognize. so we try to bring more of those intoo the center of the then diagram so all of that had to happen and only could with commander in charge to develop the plan once we figure out the lines of effort what is first and what is next identifying those decision points leading to those tr

the implicit meaning is assad must go them are going to make them go.n the reality is united states is not about to get involved in a military conflict in sierra if they could at all help it. its reluctance to become involved it's even greater him we see how much the russians are willing to be involved militarily with boots on ground. and so that was not going to happen. but because of statements like assad must go because of redline warnings, which kind of grew out of intelligence we had in 2012 that these chemical weapons that were so problematic and worrisome were about to be handed over too hezbollah, terrorist group in 2012. we are putting out messages all over the world to syrians don't do this. to the syrians, make public statement saying if you do this is going to be big trouble. in one case obama uses the phrase redline. it has an implicit meaning. but again it's an incident we appeared to promise help we were not truly prepared to deliver. we did it provide a lot of help. he did end up coming on later on in covid agent. we had a billion-dollar

we also had the civil war going on against the assad regime. and then the russians showed up about one one week after i did. getting back command and control structure enabled us to have a more unity effort. isis was not constrained, they viewed themselves as one single caliphate.s they had the advantage and we were on the periphery around them. getting unity of effort, unity ofs. command was essential to making progress. once we had that, we were able to round out a campaign plan. three very clear lines of effort with one of which was a priority which was defeating isis. the second most important was building partner capacity in iraq and syria and then there was leveraging coalition effects as best we could get of those 29 true contributing nations they came with their red cards and caveats and so forth. if you looked at air and ground operations in iraq and air and ground operations and syria, at the intersection of those you would probably only find one flag at first. we would all recognize. so, you know, we try to bring more into the center

and it is moscow that has a well documented history of using chemical weapons and shielding the assad regime, which has repeatedly used chemical weapons from accountability. colleagues, russia is right to claim this council has the power to investigate violations of certain international obligations. and that's exactly why we believe there should be an investigation into whether russia illegally procured iranian unmanned aerial vehicles or you avi's. but here's the difference. and it's a big one. we have ample evidence of our claims. all russia has our bazaar conspiracies, conspiracies that are no more credible to day than when they 1st brought it to this council 6 months ago. so while i believe this meeting is the colossal waste of time, and we should decide just how much of our time we allow russia to waste, i'm glad this council has the chance to see russia's disinformation campaign for what it is. an attempt to distract from the atrocities russian forces are carrying out in ukraine and a desperate tactic to justify an unjustifiable war. it doesn't matter how many meetings russia t

involvement in the syrian civil war, as they both promote the interests of the syrian dictator bashar al assade had ties before that, as well. and, as russia has gotten more isolated on the international stage and run out of its own munitions, it's had to look to partners such as iran to replace those losses. most notably, now the russians are getting supplies from iran, as well as north korea, and they sought various support from china earlier in the war that they haven't really gotten. in terms of these actual drones, the russians are using them to replace their own advanced precision missiles, known as the iskander and caliber, most notably. early in the war, this is the main way the russians struck ukrainian rear areas, civilian targets, and that sortf thing. but the war has gone on much longer than the russian military anticipated, and as they're running out of their own missiles, they're now having to supplement those with these iranian-provided drones. geoff: well, question about that, because could the increased flow of weapons from tehran offset the huge losses in russian military equ
