in what you might call the foreign-policy security venue. like many in this room i grow up during the cold war and yet i got to this point. what did it was really two things. if i had to sum it up in a sense because the united states has overreached abroad and we have underperformed at home and i'm worried as a result. i think we overreached abroad over the last few decades first in iraq and then secondly in afghanistan when we tried to remake that country. and as i watched some of the debates going on about syria i'm concerned we seem to have lost that, we haven't seemed to learn that lesson indeed as recently as today in the new york times people are saying it's time already to get over iraq. i don't want to get over iraq. i want to learn the lessons of iraq and apply those lessons so i'm worried that the united states has seriously over reached and it has allowed its foreign-policy with this emphasis in particular on the middle east and particularly remaking the middle east. that is not i believe either's possible or strategically wise an

his foreign policy became much more assertive. he also realized when trying to engage with international public, it was very difficult -- it was proving to be very difficult for russia because the negative image that the world had of russia. so they decided they had to do something about it. we should also remember that the international context of getting a little more -- a little more hostile, if you may, you know, for russia because of the extension of nato. because the war in afghanistan and iraq which was not too far from russian borders. and the -- spreading and moving across the space. and a lot of russians saw that as being a western mastermind sort of project, you know. and they realized they have to do something. they have to revamp it or actually start it in term of improving their image abroad. so what a did they do? i'll provide some examples here, and there are many. i'll cover a couple and focus mostly on what the government has been trying to do specifically the government you talked about, you know, other comings

president's foreign policy is a quick preview. i think when we compare like nixon to bush or obama there's really not much of a comparison we do have something like an imperial presidency now where i don't know if i'd go that far i would say obama you know he was swept into power in two thousand and eight as a you know on change on hope he was really idealistic so originally he had foreign policies that were very different from what what what had happened in the past you know he was saying we shouldn't gauge with so-called rogue states he was saying that we should make this huge effort to engage with the muslim world and so he gave a very famous speech in cairo even went into the very same crossing of the u.s. policy on israel by really pushing the israelis to do more and on and on settlements and he wanted a big strategic deep relationship with pakistan but all of that basically didn't work out i. mean you can watch that entire crosstalk discussion in just over an hour's time right here on. they also had to come up u.k. industry

but did not spoken on the question of foreign courts. one point, the d.c. circuit, had a case in which they said a plurality of the judges on the court said that they thought it was all unconstitutional by the finding was not that. the funding was narrower and did not touch it to you couldn't appeal to so then the question is what does the president do, what does the attorney general to? do you just stop doing all this electronic surveillance and permit the soviet agents to do whatever they want without impunity? or do you continue to do warrantless surveillance is under strict rules? edward established and president ford established a very strict procedure and a set of rules governing this, and continued to do the surveillance is. i reviewed every one of them, made a recommendation, which led to a lot of dark humor between edward and i about how i'm closed cases we would have a long time a joining cells to discuss -- [laughter] how we have made the wrong judgments of facts in the case. but it was against that setting and the movement of the court and the c

for a reaction from the russian foreign ministry on. later statement by john kerry and we know that the russian foreign minister and the u.s. states actually had a conversation over the phone today about the peace conference which is due to be held by the end of this month but the biggest question in the light of the statements by john kerry in amman is whether this peace conference would be held at all. this is r.t. the body of an afghan man whose feet had been cut off has been discovered near a former american special forces base in the country and the man who disappeared last november was later seen in a video being tortured by an afghan american identified as and zachariah kandahar chief interpreter for us special forces are being trained a couple claims kandahar he was also in charge of a so-called death squad operating under the control of the u.s. investigators accused the group of torturing and killing at least seventeen people and washington denies any accusations a middle east expert said bega believes it would perfectly fit i
