it's already clear that iran is meddling in bahrain, in yemen, in lebanon and in afghanistan, and the president's deal will only strengthen terrorist proxies like hezbollah, the houthi insurgents in yemen and the assad regime in syria. iran is working to prop up and protect assad's regime in damascus. it's working with shia militias in iraq to expand its influence even further, just as iran once supplied iraq's shia militias with the weapons to maim and kill our soldiers and marines. iran has a long history of employing terrorism as a tool for defending the regime, not just against its neighbors, not just against israel but also against americans. on september 20, back in 1984, with support and direction from iran, the shia militias of hezbollah carried out a suicide car bombing against the american embassy in beirut. 31 years ago. two dozen people died that day. among them chief warrant officer kenneth welch of the u.s. army. his son brian has lived with that loss ever since. and i want all of our colleagues to know he's sitting with us in this gallery this afternoon. he's right here

with the gulf cooperation council states bahrain equates arabia, and markets, they outspend iran on arms factor of eight. it is an imbalance that goes back decades. in the report observes further the air gulf states have acquired and are acquiring some of the most advanced and effective weapons in the world while iran has been essentially forced to live in the past, often relying on systems originally delivered at the time shaw 40 years ago, which are essentially obsolete. and the imbalance is greater with israel, which along with the most advanced u.s. weaponry and its role as a virtual offshore military base of the global superpower has a huge stock of nuclear weapons. there are, of course, other threats that justify serious concern and can't be brushed aside. a nuclear weapons state might leak nuclear weapons to jihadis. no joke. in the case of iran, the threat is minuscule. not only are the sunni-jihadis the mortal elements of a rant, but the ruling clerics, whatever one thinks of them, have shown ,o signs of clinical insanity and they know if there was even a hint that they were the

the king of bahrain was also supposed to show up. he didn't.ed a statement on the day the meeting was supposed to be saying that the king was unable to attend at camp david because he was attending a horse show in britain. that shows you. that's not exactly subtle. but this is how the arabs react. not like the israelis who go haywire and try to block the bill, fail. this is all part of a charade arranged by the administration to try to show the most minimal support by our allies in the region who are absolutely apoplectic over this deal. everybody who has talked to them in private knows it but their style is not to oppose it in public. as we saw, the king is now playing footy with the russians, with an invitation to go to russia. putin to go to sad did i arabia as the egyptians are. they know this president has left them high and dry. i think what they are going to do is simply hang in there for the next 16 months and hope that the next chief of state in this country is going to help them, although the deal will be done, and impossible to undo

the king of bahrain was also supposed to show up. he didn't. the palace released a statement on the day the meeting was supposed to be saying that the king was unable to attend at camp david because he was attending a horse show in britain. that shows you. that's not exactly subtle. but this is how the arabs react. not like the israelis who go haywire and try to block the bill, fail. this is all part of a charade arranged by the administration to try to show the most minimal support by our allies in the region who are absolutely apoplectic over this deal. everybody who has talked to them in private knows it but their style is not to oppose it in public. as we saw, the king is now playing footy with the russians, with an invitation to go to russia. putin to go to sad did i arabia as the egyptians are. they know this president has left them high and dry. i think what they are going to do is simply hang in there for the next 16 months and hope that the next chief of state in this country is going to help them, although the deal will be done, and i

in 2011, revolution spreads through the arab world from bahrain to algeria to yemen.ext in a very unlikely place, libya. citizens there live under one of the longest-ruling dictators in the world, colonel moammar gadhafi, who's held power for 42 years. >> libya was one of those countries people never imagined it would see the revolution spread to. because gadhafi was so in control. but i'm a revolution junkie, and it succeeded in tunisia. it succeeded in egypt. i wanted it to succeed everywhere. >> for decades gadhafi was one of the world's most eccentric leaders, known for his flamboyant outfits and his all-female bodyguards. but he was also an open supporter of international terrorism, with links to the lockerbie bombers, the i.r.a., and other militant groups. >> he kept libya under very, very tight wraps. he would disappear people. there was no freedom of any kind. massacres in prison. so he was a horrendous, horrible, brutal dictator. >> anyone who spoke out against him at all would be arrested immediately, sometimes tortured, sometimes killed. >> tracy shelton is

you look at saudi arabia and qatar and bahrain and all of the other states, you know, the other countries over there. they are not taking any. they won't take one. i can't believe how germany has opened its borders because i'm not sure that that's going to end up being politically popular. buff on a humane basis, it's amazing what merkel is doing. i think this: we have tremendous problems in our country. we have our own border problems. europe is europe. and you know what? they should take care of that situation and they should do it well and they should do it humanely. we have tremendous problems in our country. we owe $19 trillion. we are a total mess. we have to take care of our veterans. we have to take care of our own people and i think we shouldn't be in a position where we, on top of everything else, are going to be adding tremendous -- now, 10,000 people. >> let me ask you though. if the perception is that we want to be the exceptional nation, there are ways to or spending a dime. it's called leadership. one idea was to create a safe zone in syria many nations. these people with r

in yemen, 45 soldiers from the united arab emirates and bahrain were killed today, fighting shiite rebelsals said a missile struck a weapons depot near their post, about 75 miles east of sanaa, the capital city. the attack was the deadliest yet on the gulf arab coalition. it's being led by saudi arabia, in a kind of proxy war with iran. president obama welcomed saudi king salman for his first visit to the white house today. the president reaffirmed u.s. support for stabilizing yemen, while acknowledging the costs in human lives and suffering. >> we share concerns about yemen and the need to restore a functioning government that is inclusive and that can relieve the humanitarian situation there. >> woodruff: mr. obama also sought again to reassure the saudi king about the nuclear deal with iran. the president secured at senator's support from colorado democrat michael bennett. 38 u.s. senators now favor the agreement, three short of what's needed to block a republican resolution disapproving the deal. same-sex couples in rowan county, kentucky began receiving marriage licenses today. deput

very rich, saudi arabia, qatar, bahrain, they take nobody. they don't want to have anybody.ou have europe, all these places. they've got to help. what i do like is a safe zone, you know got a lot of sand. a lot of sand in syria, right? i do like the concept of a safe zone where you put them there, you build it out, you have security, you create a little bit of an environment until they can ultimately go back to their homes, which most of them really want to do. they're great people. they're caught in this horrible conflict. but the concept of safe zone is something that really make sense. probably they even like it better. they stay and we help them. but we have to help europe. and the gulf states have to contribute. saudi arabia was making so much money, beyond anything and bond anybody's comprehension. all of these countries have to get together and they have to fund it. we can do something. but we have to get other people to help us. we can't be the patsy. every time there's a problem and then in the meantime our airports are third world, our bridges are falling down. you

we've got saudi arabia bahrain, the uae and not much else, kuwait in that region. barack obama is being outsmarted at every turn. he is being undone. the soviet empire is being rebill before ther before our very eyes. we are weak, they are strong. this is obviously, ukraine as kts with saying, also look to the baltic states for some kind of movement there against the weaker smaller nato listen, putin is on the march and barack obama is not up to the task. >> leslie, do you agree with that? >> oh, no, not at all. although, some would say what we heard from defense secretary ash carter was wishy washy, it would seem the united states were blindside -- >> he isn't on this show. ash carter has an impossible position trying to defend what's going on here. >> i agree. >> the leader of the free world, president barack obama, what is his role right now? his whole policy for seven years has been disengagement from the middle east. what is he going to do now? because it appears putin is running the show. >> well, it may appear putin is running the show. he's running the show

in bahrain they enforce the law where a woman's testimony is worth half that of a man's. and rapists avoid punishment if he marries his victim. here is dr. benjamin carson. good to see you, sir. let's talk about the interview and what you said specifically about a muslim president. do you stand by the comments? >> absolutely, i stand by the comments. you know, what we have to do is we have to recognize that this is america, and we have a constitution. and we do not put people at the leadership of our country whose faith might interfere with them carrying out the duties of the constitution. so if, for instance, you believe in a theocracy, i don't care if you're a christian, if you're a christian and you're running for president and you want to make this into a theocracy, i'm not going to support you. i'm not going to advocate you being the president. >> i spoke with dr. zudijossart, a moderate muslim. i asked him if he could name a single country that treats women the way we do in the united states. he couldn't name a single one. is that what you were thinking in your mind

. >> woodruff: why don't we see countries like saudi arabia, the u.a.e., bahrain, qatar, taking in refugeesat's going on there? >> that's a good question. a lot of criticism has been pointed at the gulf states, but some is misplaced. may have paid inordinate amounts of money to the cause of iraq and indeed syria and have taken in vast numbers of people. the key is they're not offering them citizenship or asylum status. refugees know what they want, and they want a secure place to be in the future. so i think they're voting with their feet going in elsewhere, though it's culturally different for them perhaps. it's an indictment to have the welcome they're getting from the united arab states and it's been a wakeup call for them, too. >> woodruff: does it matter how we refer to these people, who we call them migrants or refugees? how do you see that? >> it is, indeed, important. you have the refugees who are a specific category, those fleeing war or human rights abuses and are entitled to asylum under international law, the gee neva convention. it's an international compact. the if everyone is

saudi arabia, quatar bahrain, these are tremendously wealthy and powerful from thstandpoint of money. they're not taking anybody. russia's not taking. nobody is taking. we're supposed to take? we have to straighten out our own problems. we have millions of people potentially. if obama would have gone across the line he drew, the artificial line in the sand he drew, you wouldn't have this problem in the first place. >> let me ask you about this letter that you sent jeff zucker over at cnn, that his rates will go up because of the next debate to $200,000, either a 30 or 60-minute ad. you said to donate it to charity. have you been heard from him? >> have i not heard back from him. i don't want to donate it to charity. i want to give to it the veterans. i want to give it to lots of different veterans groups. they're rates are going from $4,000 to $250,000 an ad. i hate to say because of me. because the numbers were always very low for the debates. nobody watched the debates. it was a poorly rated thing. i hate to tell that to you. but you know that. fox had 24 million people watching. an
