from centcom for several reasons one is that it's an independent party it's a. friends of both parties the u.a.e. and qatar saudi have not taking sides so far and one and two this is a credible source i mean this coming from centcom or has military strong military presence in the gulf region and watching the like nonstop so to say that they have not received any reports confederate event assumption i think this this statement needs to be considered or let's put this into context this economic and political blockade that egypt the u.a.e. saudi arabia and bahrain have put into place against castro has been going on since june carter has very recently complained to the u.n. security council about fighter jets coming into its airspace hasn't it could this be linked this complaint from the u.a.e. that they say that this category fighter jets of intercepted a passenger plane could that be could but could they be linked we definitely need to take a look at this in the context which is the context that two. violations that happened so far in the past week by. fighter je

today on a battlefield they know what to do with it so they came up with the idea through centcom which is central command decided to create burn pits to burn the trash that was being accumulated. a purpose as were the military during the war collecting all or waste in one central location and for this burying it they decided to burn it and they burn everything that because we think i wanted to. learn. why we would bring with human waste. crash. plastic medical. supplies. anything that they wouldn't use anymore they would burn. at times baleful. body pipes. plastics chemicals paint batteries tires literally anything that could be disposed of the stronger. knowing it we wouldn't be so. naive. and then later that. there was a blue smoke and the he's looked like the san francisco fog the smell was extremely toxic very very putrid it burn your eyes burn your throat burn your nose i mean it was just nasty dirty stinky. some days it's in talking of the smell of the burn p.x. and this image pierre would literally make you. would drop you to your knees and you'd vomit i mean it was it was that

centcom which is controlling country air space the u.s. forward central command in qatar has not really shown any evidence that country a country military jets were there to intercept. commercial airliners if this is the case and by issuing the statement despite i mean how is the u.a.e. trying to persuade the international community that their version of events is correct because as you say no commercial airliner has been. a member do this interview just what few days ago with another analyst and yet he took any sort of social media photographs from within the plane and when these planes apparently landed in bahrain bahraini state television ignored this there was no record and no interviews regarding any sort of interception so what is the a u.a.e. trying to do here. so as a alluded to earlier i think the country's made quite a substantiated. accusation against the u.a.e. for penetrating their space which is going in front of the un which has the backing of the united states who control country as pows and now that you are you're trying t

of trash a day on a battlefield they know what to do with it so they came up with the idea through centcom which is central command decided to create burn pits to burn the trash that was being accumulated. a purpose as were the military during the war collected all or waste in one central location and said as i bury know they decided to burn it and they burn everything that because we think i might get to the bank. and. learn. why we would bring live human white. trash. plastic medical. supply. in. anything that they would in use anymore they would bring. at times.

the leader of centcom was close by but not hurt. "i saw pieces of a vehicle on the road and it also created a crater on the road. the incident happened five meters away from my car." this has become a familiar scene. paramedics and bystanders desperately trying to save who they can. getting people to hospital by any means. ambulances ferrying the wounded, many limping to safety and assistance. local hospitals have seen many days like this. even so, they're overwhelmed with patients, many being triaged at the blast site. some not even making it into the building. the taliban said they carried out the attack, their second in a week. last saturday storming a major hotel at dinnertime, going floor by floor. hotel guests using bedsheets to try and escape. 22 were killed, including four americans in that attack. >> ian who has done extensive reporting. joins us live. the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley said earlier this month, the taliban are moving closer to peace talks and "u.s. policy in afghanistan is working." >> reporter: th

head of the commander of centcom central command in afghanistan general joseph votel was here in afghanistan the presidential palace saying that the general and the president and his delegation discussed the u.s. commitment to afghanistan to a stable secure afghanistan to training afghan troops to doing what they can to fight but already the fight has been quite fierce the taliban control or contest nearly forty percent of kabul as you heard the analyst say in my in my story just a little bit ago you just have an afghan military that's that's fairly young they're taking punishing casualties they are doing what they can here in kabul today their military all over the streets checking cars things have been very tightened and just in the last few minutes the president's gone he has announced a day of mourning and you can see behind me the national flag they are flying at half staff today is a day of mourning tomorrow a national holiday and tuesday will be a nationwide prayer service for the afghan people to sympathize condole with the the dozens of people killed ninety five people killed more t

professor at the heinz tatoos he joins us now live in the studio has denied that this ever took place centcom said that it didn't see anything happening it's early days yet of course what do you make of it all i think i mean this could be added into is the first way is that it could be just as simply a response to the cut that he complains to the security council about the regulations to him about the fighter jets that are of the company in a space that happened during the past week so it could be like one way to respond can he get action against that he can action and it could be also that. comes with a lot of policy on a strategy you know as a as a development of a crisis we know that this crisis has been taking place for the past seven months and this could be just annoy development that this guy killed that our actions or other possible scenarios will photo of this and this could be if this is the be that is then this could really be a dangerous development this is this is playing very big at the moment in the u.a.e. media i mean wall to wall coverage it's getting of this of this incident

se centcom commander said earlier this week their complete defeat in syria and iraq is a matter of weeksmonths, and credited the changes in operating procedures brought about by the trump administration. i suspect he's going to lead with that and point out a year ago it wasn't so good in syria and iraq, it's much, much better today. >> right. unfortunately, unless americans are getting attacked by isis-inspired people, they don't care. what can the president do to connect with -- i care. i mean, i care deeply, and i think that's a success, but what can he do to let average americans know that things are going well for him? i -- stretephanie and i are alw saying the stock market talk is not useful because more than 50% of americans don't have any connection to the stock market. >> i agree with you 100%. i never quote markets. i talk about capital investment, i would talk about what paul ryan said. mitch mcconnell today said last year was the best year, 2017, the best year for conservatives in the 30 years that he's been in washington, d.c., citing the courts, the tax cuts, the regulatory

this special forces group from , united states academy, centcom, aspects warfare -- the impersonality of all of this, i wanted to strip that away and this story somewhere else, to the hearts and minds of all of us. i think after 9/11, i know where i was, you probably do as well, i was getting coffee. getting out of my truck, and i stopped. thisand i thought, how do i tel this to my children? is no way soldiers," is a way for me to articulate my century.e, in how was it created? how was it stopped. -- too you do to need a neutralize it? host: you do that, very well. do you remember where you were in 9/11? i am sure everyone at home watching us remembers. for these group of people, the afghanistan when the invasion was not in the hundreds of thousands, but in the hundred. their lives were about to change, where were they on september 10 to september 11? what was going on in their lives? what were those days before they deployed like for them. doug stanton: it is a great question. it is really what we are reading about now, and where our tax dollars are going. likeay things "unconvention

lea: i recently spoke with a source at centcom who told me that a lot of the air assets that were workingve moved over to take the same strategy in afghanistan. in syria they were going after the oil, and in afghanistan now they'll go after the drugs that's creating revenue. what do you think of this. >> i overall agree with the trump strategy on afghanistan, they made a decision to stay and that's totally different than the previous administration. secondly, they've decided to increase the resources as you indicated, more lethal resources and also, a policy change. you know, afghanistan's the largest poppy field which leads to heroin in the entire world and now they have permission to go after the distribution centers that drive that outside the country and populate the world with that horrible drug. so, yeah, that's a major source of income for the taliban. but the real problem, lea, in afghanistan, even when we do all of that, nothing will actually change to our favor unless we eliminate the two safe havens that the taliban have in pakistan. and cutting off the money with pakistan is a
