discussing those issues today we have former cia officer michael scheuer he was in charge of the bin laden unit tracking him for several years and he's really going to help us break this down and understand it christine all right certainly very interesting and a very good points for us here that's going to do it but for more on the stories we covered how do you tube dot com slash r t america or r c dot com slash usa you should definitely follow me on twitter also i'm christine for south and we'll be back here and a half hour. shows that she must be a huge musician and. the more we can see in the middle east and what is the condition of the spring or humanitarian interventions or first is what about the. feel. i passed. the. mission free accreditation free comes for chargers free. range month free. free spirit child free. download free blog just plug in video for your media projects a free meal gogarty dot com.

the subject his former cia intelligence officer he spent years as the chief of the osama bin laden tracking unit and he wrote a book on it too on on osama bin laden it's right there called osama bin laden and he's going to really help us understand this so i just first want to say thank you so much for being on the show thank you for having me nice to get the chance to speak to you so obviously iran is such a hot button issue right now i just want to know what you think the reality of an attack on iran is going to be it's likelihood because just to put it in context i mean we heard bush talking about this when he made the axis of evil speech it came up again after the u.s. attack iraq a lot of people thought that if there was an attack on iran it would come when bush was president so does that in some way mean that hot if it's gone this long without it that it lessens the chance i don't think so i think they're going to go to war with iran because it's really not an american choice anymore it's and this really choice and the choice of the american jewish lobby you'll notice when obama wanted to

aran said afghanistan is not threat to the united states. osama bin laden is dead and than 50 al qaeda border withong the pakistan. >> the federal emergency says they willcy give $3.8 million to the louisiana school board. money is slated to pay for construction and other damage related cost. more than $3 million to help rebuild thomas jefferson elementary school. >> conditions remained much theer than normal for week in a row. shorts have replaced coats outdoors. thepact ond a cherry blossoms. we are live at the tidal basin. >> the cherry blossoms and e something in common. early bloomers. this aomers like to see nice and shiny. >> normally, he would have to watch where he stepped while in mid-march.r springs early entrants means not form underfoot truck driver. >> it is 75 degrees. spring is coming. >> the temperatures inspired the cherry blossoms. revealed their glorious much sooner than expected. visitors are packing the tidal basin, a scrambling to set their iconic flowers. >> great weather. >> he tried and failed to times last time he came, -- this ti

. >> i think bin laden does not understand the united states. if the president in a heinous act if something happened to him we would mourn him and comfort the family and unite behind the next president to bring him to justice. so let been rot in hell and he can take it down with him. >> separate from the idiotic things he was saying attacking our president and vice president which is moron nick, was how we had this approach to his own organization. he was like the ceo of terrorists. he was like, i need a deputy and annual reports and i need to rebrand the al-qaeda name because it is antiquated with evil. well you picked a name that was longer than the u.s. alphabet. who will use that name? >> to commit acts of terrorism and then they wonder why they have a bad rep reputation. what will they do to turn it around? have bake sales? start contributing to charities? that will somehow turn it around? >> i am waiting for him to hire somebody to re-do the brand. >> it is weird. some of the things they said about fox news is also said by the left. the l

new details on usama bin laden's plot to murder the president of the united states. the late terror leader's own words, united states officials now tell fox news the documents from inside bin laden's secret compound suggest he wanted al qaeda operatives to assassinate president obama and the now retired general david petraeus. usama bin laden reportedly wrote and i quote: obama is the head of infidelity and killing him automatically will make vice president biden take over the presidency. he goes on to read: biden is totally unprepared for that post, which will lead the united states into a crisis. as for petraeus, killing him would altar the war's path. those writings said to be among piles of documents and videos that navy seals found during last year's raid that killed usama bin laden. catherine herridge has some details for us from d.c. tonight. we haven't heard about these plots before or have we? >> well, we have, shepard, in fact, they were reported last july. what's key here is the first time the reporter has seen the bin laden documents and the translations.

and you know the laboring is a very unfortunate mystery of the united states and bin laden they have struggled to overcome many races. behavior and actions but they are by the public so it's a little bit of a different context and i'm a much more entrenched and certainly has been going on for years however it's the same kind of people saying bigot and they're exploiting the ignorance of the public or people who don't know anything about a particular community and using fear here in the black man and going you're the local management side bomber here's a muslim woman in her headscarf that represent her being an open we're going to a are in a better someone who helps parents engage in terrorism and not the united a not loyal and again needing to be dislocation of morality in other words is no longer a moral principle that if you are a moral self-defense just like them or men in the trayvon martin a. single ludicrous. defense in light of what we heard on the nine one case and similarly a lot of people may think well you know she was wanting to have he gone she did her all right very int

him and iman al zawahiri, they have different views of where they should attack, bin laden wanting to attack in the unitedtriking is a beleaguered movement and a leader that has to realize he's losing control over quickly. >> there's also this. we have not had an attack in ten years. part of that is good police work. how much of it is their inability to mount the kind of mission that bin laden wanted to? >> they came very close. if you look at the british planes plot where they were going to place bombs in liquid containers, the reason we can carry only three ounces of liquid today on planes, that was a plot with a dozen airliners that really would have killed up to 2,000 people. that would have been on the level of 9/11. and because of great intelligence work on the part of the british, joined by us and some other partners, that was prevented, but it was certainly viable. it was well in progress and it could have happened. or the case here in new york city, 16 backpacks on crowded subways on a 9/11 anniversary. all of these things were in progress, directed by al qaeda and came close. and if you look at

bin laden focused on rural mountainous regions of pakistan. but according to the wife's account to pakistani authorities, bin laden outwitted the u.s., by choosing to hide in populated urban areas. >> so the united states was doing what came easy to it, why he was in nice homes in big cities. >> reporter: over his years on the run, bin laden lived in four different pakistani cities in five different safehouses, even as pakistani leaders repeatedly denied he was in the country. >> we don't have any information of that sort. there is no proof whatsoever that he's here. >> reporter: amal and the two other wives shared the crowded abbottabad compound where bin laden was ultimately found, a place where he spent his time watching satellite tv news and trying to keep peace among the wives and at least eight children and five grandchildren. >> i can only begin to imagine that that looked like american reality tv. that he was living in some version of the kardashians in abbottabad. >> reporter: amal was the clear favorite, the one who shared his bedroom and was shot in the leg trying to protect her husband during the u.s. navy s.e.a.l.s raid last year. >> that kind of self-sacrifice was something often d

the united nations estimates the syrian government crackdown has killed more than 9,000 people. >>> osama bin laden five safehouses and fathered four children in pakistan in the time it took the united states to kill him after the attacks of 9/11. so reports bin laden's youngest wife or widow now. her leaked interrogation report indicates two of bin laden's kids were born in pakistani government hospitals and some pakistani family helped arrange everything during their time of hiding. the report did not implicate any pakistani officials. the pakistani officials handled the interrogation. he was killed in the home city of pakistan's equivalent to westpoint. >>> we have seen the video that seems to many observers at least to contradict george zimmerman's claim that trayvon martin attacked him before he shot the teen dead. one supporter says zimmerman was is who are injured than he looks and claims he can prove it. >>> why a judge now says virginia tech did not break the law during the deadliest mass shooting our country has ever seen. joe'll show you why, in just a[ moment. to roll over my old 401(k)

bin laden. how would that have united the country. >> sean: there's some truth to that. >> every president inheritsthings from the previous plate, including a recession. president obama happened to be worse than the one president bush inherited. but president obama has not been able to get beyond the blame game because that's how they won the election in 2008. -- >> sean: bob beckel is mad at me. >> he gets mad at everything. >> sean: that's a good point. >> he just lives mad. >> sean: when i play -- we just made this -- this is a new one. we put this together in the vetting of obama. we are going to do it every night. beckel is mad because i say, he's president cry baby. i think he needs to man up, put his pants on, sit at the table and take responsibility. >> he's president divisiveness, that's divisive. if you are constantly pointing the blame, that's what you are doing. >> sean: we have to come back and dana said i would not get an interview with obam a. we will get to that. but governor romney who won in illinois is taking to the stage. we'll see what he has to say. >> thank you, guys. so many

to be held of course and his work on behalf of the effort to take down bin laden was in pakistan's interest as well as the united states'. we have made that view well known, and we will continue to press it and it will be continued to that i account as we move forward. >> let me put everyone on notice here, i believe we will with be watching this closely. there is nothing that could suggest that pakistan is cooperating with us in the fight against terrorism when they have the man who helped us get bin laden being held in prison. that is their decision. there are 3,000 irani exiles tht are in iraq, these members who are members of the mek are in great danger. our designation to their organization as a terrorist organization has been a major stumbling block in efforts to resettle them and take them to safety. are we going to wait until there's a another slaughter of these people, they are unarmed before we act to get them resettled? something as taking that designation off of the terrorist organization would help dramatically and we can do that unilaterally? >> first, we are deeply concerned about the security and

country, and perhaps even the return of the taliban, the very people who allowed bin laden to use afghanistan to attack the united is some of that conversation going on it would enable president obama to accelerate, and perhaps the win-win, you could try to seek in a very difficult situation like that, could be achieved through an acceleration. >> that's right. i do think certainly many people after the rogue soldier killed the men, women and children in afghanistan, there was this sudden new talk about pulling out. i don't think that's the way to make american foreign policy. the day before that soldier did those dastardly acts we had reasons to be in afghanistan. to make sure it doesn't immediately return to a civil war, that we are able to hand off successfully most of the security forces to afghanistan. we can still do that. we have to manage this crisis and other unfortunate and down right stupid things that have been done by soldiers the burning of the karan, for example. but we can't run our foreign policy based on these acts. >> i would say a lot of families who have soldiers who have been deployed for th

bin laden, but he was hiding. but even in hiding bin laden was still actively, whether he had the wherewithal or not, planning to do something to the president of the unitedand the general that was over the forces there in afghanistan. so this was not a man who was somewhere hiding just trying not to get caught. he was still actively pursing a strategy of terrorism, according to these documents. >> he was, reverend sharpton, trying to run his organization from in hiding. but you can see in these documents, how difficult it was, how pinned down he was. it would take as long as three months for him to get answers to these messages he was sending off by couriers to his key contacts. so in that way, some of this planning was really fanciful. the organization was on the run and had trouble communicating with itself let alone figuring out a way to figure out how to organize these plots. it's fascinating in the excerpts that you quoted to see how in one sense how connected he was. he obviously spent a lot of every day watching the television news. >> right. >> but how disconnected he was. vice president biden has had a lot more experience on the foreign affairs

. >> the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden. >> one of the storiesr was not reported by journalist initially. it was reported by someone who we would describe as the accidental reporter. >> not going anywhere. so forget about that. and then there this what this is loud bang. >> sometimes it happens accidentally or without you wanting it to happen. we see that all the time. >> can you please tell me who it happens to accidentally? who is on top of the celebrity chart that happens to accidentally? who is the person that oh, i can't believe this is happening to me? i have 12 million followers? >> i agree with you. it's not an descent. >> it is calculated. >> the kardashian family, i have never seen a family collectively who work harder. they work hard. >> why is that? >> thanks again, you guys. really great of you to come out. i hope this was interesting. thanks again. have fun at the grill. h's gravil and hurtle us all into space, which would render retirement planning unnecessary. but say the sun rises on december 22nd and you still need to retire, td

i think his work on behalf of the effort to take down bin laden down was in pakistan's interest as well as the united states's interest. we have made that view very well-known. we will continue to press it. it is going to be taken into account as we move forward. >> if they do not let dr. afridi go, we'll be watching this closely, there's nothing to show they are cooperating with us in fight against terrorism when they have dr. afridi in prison. that is their decision of noncooperation. another group in danger, 3,000 iranian exiles residing in iraq who you're fully aware of because they are enemies of the mullah dictatorship. these exiled members, members of the mek are in great danger. our designation to their organization as a terrorist organization has been a major stumbling block in efforts to resettle them and take them to safety. are we going to wait until there's some kind of another slaughter of these people? they were already slaughtered -- they are unarmed -- before we react to get them settled, something as easy as take that designation off of the terrorist organization would help dramatic

about foreign policy specifically one of things he said recently was that united states should not have gone in to kill osama bin laden that's an extremely unpopular position i got to give ron paul credit he's got integrity he's consistent he never supports any wars or any military action unless under the constitution united states there's a declaration of war according to congress that's in the constitution but his his views on this are way out of the mainstream of american garden mark in washington what's wrong with the american government if you're into the american constitution what's wrong with that i think you know i think the american government should adhere to the american constitution i really do i think though that ron paul takes the constitutional pettish a bit too far and finds further restrictions in the constitution that are there i mean he ignores clauses like providing for the general welfare and other clauses that congress has used for generations of course congress has had military actions as opposed to war for for two hundred years so i just think it's clear that his views on this are out of step w

approach of war made our policy for looking, to try to stop people like osama bin laden and terrorist groups from attacking the unitedtes before they could attack. the second lesson i would draw from the last 10 years, and also helps us to look forward, is that after 9/11 we treated intelligence and information differently. we tried to broaden the scope of intelligence available, and to deepen it. so to take one example before 9/11, because of civil liberties concerns which i think were quite valid other time that they're put into place, we intentionally prohibited our intelligence agencies are in our law enforcement agencies from sharing and communicating information. if you read the 9/11 commission report carefully, some of the commissioners believed that that wall was actually instrumental in preventing us from identifying the identity of two hijackers who were known by the cia could be in the country before 9/11. things like the patriot act, enhanced interrogation of

united states. this secretary of defense didn't ask anybody's permission before they sent trouped in to kill bin ladeny of the united states is guided by what's in the u.s.' best interests. what panetta was trying to say is that when we want, when we engage in a war like we might engage in with syria, we want to build an international coalition, we want help doing it. i agree with senator sessions, by the way, in his concern that he was voicing that the department of defense and the president have not come to congress to ask for permission to conduct these combat operations like they should have in libya, like they should be doing if we're going to conduct operations in syria. only the congress has the power to declare war, not the president. megyn: brad s that so controversial? if what the secretary of defense meant to say is we are better off getting an international coalition and getting the blessing of nato or the u.n. or some international body before we go into syria and start bombing or whatever we're considering doing, arming folks militarily, we're better off as americans especially in the mu

there is a reason why osama bin laden and his lieutenants are not in a position to be able to execute plots against the united states or great britain. >> reporter: as for the timing the reemergence of the bin laden strike in the campaign narrative and the media may be calculated according to a former member of the bush team who served in the white house. >> a fine line between taking credit for something and then exploiting something. this president has suffered almost the most dramatic drop in his popularity and the white house is desperate for good news. >> the white house is u. k. working to declassify and make public as many of the documents as possible adding that it could take month. the question is whether the timing could bump up against the election. >> bret: several democrats and advocacy groups want a top regulator fired over his refusal to rescue troubled home owners. edward demar co-is resisting calls to use fannie mae and freddy to underwright a multibillion dollars bailout. he says it would not be fair to taxpayers. we will tell you about some folks who do not love us here at fox news. that is

hording to a poll by ohio state university has reached an all time high in the united states since the killing of osama bin laden and it's at all time highs among liberal democrats so it's been warm allies and whether or not this was in fact a hate crime committed by a right wing extremist people are are likely to believe that it was because they're just waiting for someone to actually act out their rhetoric they're hearing on fox news and they're hearing from political candidates now a real we recently heard the at the story of the n.y.p.d. targeting muslims and monitor and muslim mosques muslim students anyone simply based on the fact that they are muslim but are not there is probable cause that they're related to any kind of terrorist activity so this shows that police are now profiling people based on religion so would you say that discrimination is now shifting toward the muslim population. let's assume that a right wing extremist killed china in my lower body. and compare it to the trayvon martin case then in both cases you would have citizens mimicking to some degree the behavior of law enforcement offici

osama bin laden to kill general petraeus and president obama so vice president biden could become president. and bin laden felt biden was totally unprepared and it would lead to a crisis in the unitedal petraeus would alter the war in afghanistan and intelligence forces tell fox news the plot was taken seriously but determined to be purely an aspiration. some question the timing of the release since president obama is running for re-election. coon any in -- clooney in cuffs after leading a protest outside the sudan embassy in washington, dc. he is a critic of the humanitarian abuse and crisis in the sioux dan and is talking about it with chris wallace. >> would you like to see the united states involved in having a know fly zone or bombing. >>guest: the truth is this: you will understand this. if you are standing there and you see a kid with both his hands missing from some jerk, you know, 10,000' in the airdropping bombs, on innocent people you would like to see a nato plane take those guys out of the air. that is your gut reaction. in the real world, what we are talking about, we will not see nato in there. >>alisyn: he is talking about the war on its own people in the sioux dan,

bin laden and others have been removed. al qaeda remains the top terrorist threat in the united states. core al qaeda operating out of pakistan remains committed to high-profile attacks against the west, and meanwhile all kai da affiliates here have attempted attacks in the united states. such attacks include the failed 2009 bombing and the attempted bombing of u.s.-bound cargo planes in october of the same year. we're also concerneden the threat from home grown violent extremists. as you pointed out, madam chairwoman last month. the fbi arrest add 29-year-old moroccan immigrant. khalifi allegedly attempted to detonate a bomb in a suicide attack on a u.s. capitol building. over the past year we have seen similar attempted by home grown ssachusetts, texas, and washington. these cases exemplify the need to continue to enhance our intelligence capabilities and to get the right information to the right people before any harm is done. turning to foreign intelligence, while foreign intelligence continues their traditional efforts to maintain military secrets they also seek technology from int

the united states went in for example and. be killed osama bin laden. the cia man who killed i think three pakistanis on the street and he was whisked away and so on there are many many examples in that region and throughout the world so yes they don't they don't treat it with any respect at all i think if you just take the karzai government it's hardly true that. anymore credibility now than he did ten years ago if you remember that the united states picked him he wasn't. they picked him in. shortly after september eleventh and they declared him to be the head of some kind of local administration and it's true that later on he was elected president but then he was the only person who could actually travel around afghanistan in united states helicopters so these rivals didn't really have much of a chance. quarter past the hour here in the russian capital still to come this hour on r.t.e. that have punished for jeans. for example. you know another. party and i said i'm sorry you can't come in here because the. outcry roma community is in britain in the s
