hezbollah suspects israel believes that while hezbollah is busy fighting among the syrian army, israel can hit its position inside lebanon, and hezbollah can afford to retaliate. hezbollah says it carries out the attack to prove to israel that that is not the case. >> it was a direct and clear message that these cannot be breached or even think to change the game. >> many of the villages seem confident that the israeli government won't retaliate for the recent attacks. they calculate hezbollah's response, and they will not do it. the government in israel asks the u.n. to take measures against hezbollah. u.n. peacekeepers are aware of the tensions. they are trying to keep an eye on the borders but acknowledge their limitations of how much they can do to prevent either side from escalating. >> talks to end a crisis in venezuela brought more violent protests. here the country's national guard firing tear gas and bullets in caracas, a protest march organised by politicians who refuse to take part in the talks with the president, brought the crowds out and dozens of protesters have been kil

it's important to realise his recent victories have been a result of substantial support by hezbollah. many of the heavy fighting on the ground is a result of hezbollah fighters coming across the border. the balance of power favours bashar al-assad, it suggests that if the balance of power were to shift, the tide of the work could turn. >> is there any way it would shift. it's not like you are going to get 18,000 troops as what is alleged to have happened with respect hezbollah crossing the border it help with the rebels. >> that's the big question, and that's a decision that can only be made in washington d.c., because without the leadership needed to shift the tide of the war, that's what we'll continue to see. bashar al-assad's hand strengthened in this conflict. as i indicated, he's claiming to be strong, he's claiming to be winning the bar, but is making the claim because the other side is not receiving the same support and sustenance that he is getting from conor trainor and moscow. >> is there a chance that russia is trying to help. we see pictures of antitank measures. we don'

what changed that was a big increase in hezbollah assistance. i did not imagine hezbollah was to 7000 send 5000 soldiers, and now they are all the way up into aleppo and damascus. is something we did not predict and that has bolstered the regime. iraqi militias are now going in larger numbers. russia has increased its existence as well. so what that has done from my point of view is it has given the regime a longer lease to hold the space between damascus, latakia.s, and over to circumstances in the short or medium term where the armed opposition is going to be able to change that. in the short to medium term. what that means, what we are seeing is the country is little the armed- groups that hold the area in the northwest are the armed groups aleppo are not necessarily the same groups, so you get a situation where different factions have different territories. that goes to a situation on the iraqi border. i cannot foresee circumstances where hezbollah is going to march hundreds of miles across the syrian desert to go fight in raqqah. the defect

it was not entirely successful because hezbollah's rap -- weapons remain in the green revolution in iran in june of 2009 against the ayatollah. now the arab spring had its own experiments and to answer your question they jihadists who have been removed from afghanistan have re-created hubs over the region. they are back in iran. they are in yemen, in somalia and what is happening in syria where al-nusra has expanded into lebanon. egypt is fighting them in sinai so statistically speaking to defend a one point guess we may have taken out bin laden and al-awlaki but this is the generation of the ancestors of al qaeda and now we are talking about a third generation. .. >> please turn off your cell phones. we will be on c-span today so this will be recorded. i'm a staff writer for the la times and we are talking about the realities of war with three distinguished writers that have attacked the subject from very different angles. america's been at war now for 13 years and the statistics are the 22 veteran said they are killing themselves and of the 2 million u.s. veterans who've been to iraq o

frankly, i did not imagine hezbollah was going to send 5-7,000 soldiers.and then now tear all the way up to aleppo and into damascus. this is just not something we expected, and that has certainly bolstered the regime. iraqi militia are going in in larger numbers from shia communities in iraq, and russia has increased its assistance as well. so what that has done from my point of view is it has given the regime a longer lease to hold the space between damascus up to homs and over to last kia. and i can't see circumstances in the short or medium term where the armed opposition is going to be able to change that. in the short to medium term. and what that means, what we're seeing is the country is little by little being cantonized. the armed groups that hold control of most of the northwest are the armed groups that control aleppo are not necessarily the same groups and so we are getting a situation where different factions hold different territories. that also applies to the east. i was just reading about a city on the iraqi border, and there are six opposi

this regime is now suffering from major manpower shortages which is why the hezbollah intervention and intervention by iraqi shia militia is becoming more and more important. but facing manpower shortages the regime doesn't have enough troops to actually go in for a full-scale us also to surround committees and try to recapture and they basically shut all traffic in and out. what that has created in just the last few months has been in some media reports, are efforts by people inside, civilians were literally starving to death, for local cease-fires whereby in return for armed opposition elements in making their case turning over heavy weaponry, the regime blood food supplies in. in some places, some places these local cease-fires have been respected, have been observed for time. in some places had collapsed almost immediately. but i think what's important for people here to understand, these blockades are conscious government tactic of war and it is not going to change, i do not think, as long as the regime is fighting for its life. even in places where the regime has allowed cross-bo

about millions of arabs who have been living in refugee camps that are controlled by al qaeda and hezbollah and hamas. and they would be coming into the west bank of the jordan river and into jerusalem that would be a partitioned city. would they be sitting quietly? what they say are we really want to do is look for work? of course not. their intention was not be to split at a defensible border. but to the contrary, that is the existential threat to the demographics many fast. that is the demographic threat to israel. so i just want to briefly talk about the united states and what this means for america. david gave a very good tourist view of the world as an american, seeing the collapse of american power throughout the world as a result of the current administration and their misguided one of the witches of raised on the proposition that one should be good once enemies adapt one's friends. so as i show in my book, it has been a bipartisan solution of the administration since nixon that the way forward is to moderate this. the plo that arafat ordered of the first african-american u.s. ambas

foreigners coming in to join these in northern syria in the assad regime, and the fight against hezbollah inside iraq. there is this centrifugal force because they know this is where the action is. >> frightening to see all those al qaeda people all together in one place, and seemingly sending some message to the united states. brigadier general mark kimmet, great to have you with us. >>> are the numbers lying, chicago magazine has just published the first of a two part investigative report that contains explosive charges. after a year long investigation the magazine says the city has used various quebility techniques to artificially -- questionable techniques to artificially show numbers. joins us from chicago, we asked the chicago police department for a statement but have not received one. elisabeth good to have you with us. big cities doctoring crime statistics has been an issue before. this is an especially big deal because this has become the murder capital of the country. >> it gave chicago quite a black eye on the world stage. getting those statistics down is a pretty major deal f

it was not entirely successful because hezbollah's weapons remain in the green revolution in iran in june 2009 that also try to rise against. now, the arab spring had its own experiment and to answer your question, she hot is to have been removed from afghanistan, al qaeda in particular have re-created hugs all of the region. they are back in iraq in the sunni triangle. they are growing in yemen, in somalia. i won't even begin with opera seria where they have also expanded into lebanon. each is fighting them. statistically speaking, at one point we may have taken out how lucky, but this is the generation of the ancestors of al qaeda. now talk about the third generation. >> apart from al qaeda is that your point the islamists are winning in the region. certainly they were winning for a time, but then there's been pushback. what is the pushback in egypt and tunisia. what is your sense of the state of play now? >> guest: absolutely. we are in a delayed understanding of what would happen. when we want the islamists are winning, mr. dancers were no the rebels are winning. now in reclaimin

fact that lieberman speaks russian has not stopped moscow from shipping arms to iran, syria and hezbollah through syria. india should want to make a closer relationship with washington as it forges a relationship with china. but do these countries want to live in a world ruled entirely by the interplay of national interests? since 1945, there have been increasing efforts to put in place some broader, global norms, for example, against annexations by force. these have not always been honored, but compared with the past, they have helped shape a more peaceful and prosperous world. over the next decade or so, as new powers rise, these norms will either be strengthened or eroded. and that will make the difference between war and peace in the 21st century. for more go to cnn.com/fareed and read my "washington post" column. and let's get started. >>> the sun will soon set on a tumultuous day in eastern ukraine. today as in recent days a pattern has emerged in this area that borders russia. in city after city, police buildings and city halls have been stormed by militants, taken over and declare

that in good faith sh, they continue to wreak havoc in other places of the world, major funder of hezbollahow this, which is a real slap in the face. the iranians should withdraw their nomination and should send somebody else, because this -- all of us that were alive at the time remember that hostage crisis and not something we can turn a blind eye too. >> is this from president rue waw rouhani or the supreme leader ayatollah? >> we have no way of knowing. obviously the supreme leader is the final decisionmaker on things like this. i've always said that rouhani, it's not clear to me that heck make any of these decisions without the blessings of the supreme leader. it's just very, very troubling. it's a slap in the face to americans. and it ought to be withdrawn. and, you know, it's very difficult for us to block a diplomat from coming in. but if it's proven that he was part and parcel of it, i would urge our authorities to deny him entry into the country. >> i was looking at the rules, we have a 60-plus-year agreement with the united nations that we have to let anybody in but they are limi

and they were waiting until 5000 hezbollah. a step up of arms iranian. the revolutionary guard.t was his plane on the nose on your face that it was going to happen. we watched this thing turn into a regional conflict. extremist groups in syria and iraq. if you have looked at iraq lately, it is in chaos. so we are now, i'm reading, providing more weapons to the free syrian army, but i'm telling you, these -- big canisters with all kinds of shrapnel in them that are just killing people indiscriminately. >> also reports of the use of chemical weapons. >> would it surprise you if he was using chlorine gas, which is not technically part of the agreement? i believe that history will show that the president's decision on syria not to strike was a seminal moment that reverberated throughout the world. that's why i can tell you i've talked to many foreign leaders who they would say that was really a seminal moment, and they cannot rely on us. >> that is the point. they said you true the red line and you let somebody crossed the red line, then your credibility -- and the saudis and others

there's a congressional report in 2012 that says hezbollah and other terrorist networks are working with the drug cartels to bring things into this country and they can do it at will. at will. and these politicians, i listen to them. an act of love? an act of love? you know what an act of love is when a veteran goes over fights for this country and then can't get his benefits. these politicians, once you say president to them, automatically it becomes what can i do for tilg alien. you want to be president of the united states look in the camera and say you know what i'm going to take care of your job and your life before i take care of any illegal alien. that's not happening. >> this guy -- obviously some people slip through the cracks. that's what the administration defenders say, people who want to see some accommodation of these illegal immigrants. some will slip through the cracks. obviously this is a bad case. but in defense of that argument they say a lot of these folks are loving law-abiding citizens who aren't defined by these terrorists. >> we have a legal program for those peop
