there are still some mainstays, and elliott mentioned those. the counterterrorism cooperation is actually quite strong on some levels but worrisome when you talk about syria and other things. and that is, i think, we could talk for the whole session about this. the weapons relationship, the military relationship is quite strong. if you noticed earlier this month, another sizable anti-tank missile delivery from the united states, from raytheon. the differences are, we'll get into. iran, quite clearly, i think why have they've been stating publicly their various concerns in saudi royals. but with, again, you ask them if they've accepted this interim agreement and whether they've accepted secretary hagel's recent visit to the region, i think strip away all of the rhetoric, you'll see there's a pragmatism that's there. syria, big divide. and i hope we talk a lot about that. egypt, again, serious differences, but i think can be navigated which is where i'll close. i think despite sort of the tensions, i think there's common interests. i think a dive

elliott gotkine is keeping an eye on things.tem on the agenda. >> very much the focus for this trip it seems. john kerry arrived late last night. he has met with benjamin netanyahu and his meeting with my mother boss -- with mahmoud abbas in ramallah. he has within the former commander of nato in afghanistan , a retired general. he is due to present not concrete plans but ideas about security arrangements that would assuage any concerns that israelis have about what a post- independent telecine and stable look like. israelis want troops on the west bank-jordan border. palestinians say that is a dealbreaker. may be there to talk about the palestinian problem. netanyahu likes to talk about iran, as well,. . a biggerm, iran is priority than the palestinian issue. he has described the deal as a historic mistake. interestingly enough, the expiration of that deal six months down the road and the self-imposed deadline for peace negotiations between israel and the palestinians imposed by john kerry 10 to coincide. if you're an optimist,

and it seems to be in lots of ways a problematic relationship insofar as elliott was describing it, a lot does have to do with oil or security. and historically it's been a lot of times the saudis are screaming at the americans from the side do this, do that. and as elliott was saying about bandar and bush, it's best to lead them, guide them, influence them. but at what point when the saudis are saying, as elliott was describing, at what point are they right? it's either we need you as the superpower leading, or you're wrong on syria, you're wrong only iran. so how do we distinguish the noise from when they're correct? >> look, i mean, you could argue -- and be they would certainly argue -- they're already right in this regard. and i would just respond in terms of, again, back to u.s. strategic interests and how, again, having a clear plan of then how does this end and where does this go. can -- if you wanted to go into an all-in strategy in the way that, again, i don't think -- it won't happen. i almost, can almost say for surgeon just based on my own assessment. from the u.s. side.

he was speaking to our middle east editor, elliott gotkine. elliott joins us now. ,espite the downturn in europe he does not seem to be that put off. >> he is not. in fact, he seems to be eyeing major european cities. barcelona, paris, even athens as locations for such an individual integrated resort. his expectations for europe are more modest than what they were when compared to the metro -- the megaproject in spain. largestwould be the resort development under taken on a commercial basis. i cannot, neither can any other company, afford to bet that kind of money. u.s. dollars or even euros. a new government could come into power and change everything that is part of the agreement. i needed some sort of indemnification. that hes also concerned would not get guarantees from theeuropean commission, european union itself, as well as spain on an individual basis. with that in mind, he ditched the whole project. he sold it, if you would like. >> in addition, he has been lobbying against online gambling in the u.s. >> he is a serious opponent to on

not to reclaim sole super power status. >> where is he bolder, elliott abrams?s he make a difference? >> i don't think he's going to be bolder. i think his main concerns are still domestic. and i do think there is a leadership gap here. if we look at what our middle eastern friends are saying, and some of those who are surrounded, really, by china, they're saying, where are you guys? you used to be the biggest power here. what are you doing? i say we see this in syria. in the middle east that's the thing they point to. the president stepped up and then he stepped back. >> the question, though, how well did that work out? how well did it work out for the united states to essentially believe it had the right to try to direct events in the middle east? i would argue that there is at best a mixed record, and i think president obama would argue that it didn't work out that well, that, in fact, we have to find a different road that doesn't, you know, make us the boss of everybody. >> two-thirds of americans in three recent polls indicate that they thought the afghan w
