and -- under saddam hussein and the struggles. this story was about connecting with my roots. about going there and seeing it for the first time and seeing you know the places that my father spoke of. that little alley that he grew up in. his house, my ant -- aunts and uncles, it was a wonderful, wonderful experience. >> for anyone who hasn't been to the place of their roots it's filled with i think almost a romanticized version of what it's going to be like. there's this huge buildup for you, this huge buildup your entire life. did that happen and what happened when you arrived there? >> that's exactly what happened. when i arrived i remember being in the airplane and as the airplane was approaching the airport, so many different emotions were going on inside of me. i was wondering what am i going to see? i was both excited and nervous at the same time. i was excited to experience what this country -- but i was afraid that the headlines that i've been reading for so long had poisoned my head to the point that i will confirm it by

after the we captured saddam hussein. this took the wind out of the sails of the very early baathist led insurgency. my contention that had we reached out to sunnis at this point with the reform of de-baathification decree and some of the political outreach, that we could have brought them back as a way forward. they period from january to march 2004 was peaceful. there was a down turn in peaceful in iraq but we didn't take advantage of it. instead we create a transitional administrative law that was crafted built without a lot of sunni input and, therefore, they resisted it. this period ended with the april 2004 uprising across south-central iraq. uprisings that were in the case of the south-central iraq, was put down by the first armored division, a unit of which i was brigade commander. and we dealt the army a significant blow. in fallujah the marines were on the way in giving a blow to the insurgents when they were told to stop because the press, era press conference from it against what was happening and there was a

we killed two hussein boys, right after that we captured saddam hussein. and these three events in succession really took the wind out of the sails of the early insurgency. and it's my contention that had we reached out to the sunnis with the reform of the debaathification decree and some other political outreach, that we could have brought them back into support of way forward. the period from january to march of 2004 was fairly peaceful. there was a downturn in security incidents in iraq. but we didn't take advantage of it. instead, we created a transitional administrative law that was crafted really without a lot of sunni input, and therefore, they resisted it. this period ended with the april 2004 uprisings in fallujah and across south-central barak. uprisings that were this the case of the south central iraq were put down by the first armored division, the unit of which i was brigade commander, and we dealt with the army a fairly significant blow. in fallujah the marines were on the way to dealing a blow to the insurgents when they were told to stop.

. >> when we look at south africa, if we look at iran, iraq during the era of saddam hussein, there wereretty tight trade sanctions put on, and they dipped. they really hurt and they have affected, in this case, iran's willingness to negotiate on the nuclear program. doing that to russia is more difficult. russia is now fully integrated into the global economy. $460,000,000,000 worth of commerce between the european union and russia. so once you start tightening a noose in terms of trade, everybody gets hurt, including the russians but, also, including the united states and the european union. >> of course, back to your earlier point, the european union is going to be less excited about this concept of trade sanctions, largely because russia has some leverage over the europeans with natural gas that it doesn't have over america, for instance. >> yes, which doesn't mean it won't happen. there are a lot of very wealthy russians with apartments in new york and apartments in london. they would not be happy if they found their assets frozen. so, i am not saying it's out of the range of possib

told by the bush administration leading up to the confrontation. >> there is no doubt that saddam hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. there is no doubt that he ace massing them to use against our friends, against our allies and against us. >> the united states knows about iraq's weapons of mass destruction as well as iraq's involvement in terrorism, which is also the subject of resolution 1441 and other earlier resolutions. >> the problem here is that there will always be some uncertainty about how quickly he can acquire nuclear weapons. but we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud. >> smoking gun, mushroom cloud, the good old days. the lines and the scare tactics took us to iraq. now, to this day, our nation is still struggling to recover from george w. bush's war of choice. now, 11 years later, the united states is facing a serious problem with this guy, vladimir putin. different motives, maybe not. the invasion of crimea is something that should not be taken lightly by any american. you don't know where this is going go. president obama, i think, is playing this cl

if you remember back too the first gulf war when saddam hussein invaded could you kuwa kuwait, the first george bush said we're fighting for oil because kuwait is not a democracy. so yes, it does change our relationship. but i have to emphasize we're not leaving. we just put $600 million there in bahrain because we do want stability. europe, our allies, do rely on that oil, and we would like to see them wean off of russia's energy. >> it looks like they're thinking about sending in advance anti-aircraft weapons in, is this a step in the right direction? >> absolutely. for priority president obama fighting terrorism is a problem. but for the saudis this is definitely syria is a make or break the relationship. it's very clear that this point arrive in riyadh that syria and a major change in the u.s. policy towards syria is acquir acquired. otherwise it would not revert from the present crisis. i think if mr. obama is not going to offer a major change, especially changing the balance of power on the ground, i don't think this visit will be considered a success. whatever achievement, this is

gone in anddone is got hussein and gotten the heck out. >> there are good arguments to make about how difficult it is to remake a country like afghanistan. anybody who had hoped that we would be in for a long-term true commitment has been severely disappointed, not just by the fact that we have decided to move away from that i did was never as successful as they might have hoped. that is effectively over. --are debating the team between 10,000 forces in the continuing training mission that may or may not hold together. in a relatively time-limited cents or a zero option that is isly out very rapidly, which more likely to lead to a rapid acceleration of violence and instability in afghanistan. it is something that we may be able to avoid. the larger question about the u.s. role in the middle east. this is something that has been a critical aspect of the debate in afghanistan. beis going to continue to debated by politicians and historians. what contracting firm is benefiting the most from staying in afghanistan? guest: i do not know. there are lots that have been buildingin some of the

foresee the decline of the soviet union and do not get the weapons of mass distraction from saddam hussein but the record overall has been extremely successful. it is a source we do not use enough. one of the basic frustrations is in adequate or in complex -- or incomplete. i work with the current director of national intelligence. a veteran of the intelligence world. he once turned to me and reflected on experience and said 50 years of experience in the world, there are two outcomes in national security affairs. one, and operational success. the other is an intelligence failure. when it goes wrong, it is probably because of intelligence. you do not often use intelligence the way you should. you can go back to the strategic arms treaty. they had a delegation of 12 u.s. senators to complete the ratification. he was the chairman and i was the chief of staff. i was the guy who took the note and so on. before we left, one of the u.s. intelligence agencies came around and met with the senator. you're about to meet someone you don't know anything about. cold war. this was a candidate member of t

. >> during "the daily news" conference, malaysia's acting transport minister hishamuddin hussein said their feelings were completely understandable. >> i completely understand their feelings. this is something i discussed with the president this morning. -- also how to manage emotions and appease the families. sending another high level team and i hope and i appeal to everybody that we are trying our very best. >> one of the main points of that daily news briefing from the acting transport minister, he started by saying the international efforts in the search for the missing plane are, of course, continuing. he said some reports the aircraft was spotted close to the maldives islands in the indian ocean had been investigated and they have been rejected. he said the police investigation into crew, passengers and ground crew is on going. analysts are trying to recover data which was apparently deleted from the pilot's personal flight simulator at his home. >>> well, what about that report from maldive now rejected and said to be untrue by the minister in kuala lumpur? the bbc's charles h

we talked to hishammuddin bin hussein, the defense minister, today. he was involved in a melee with the media as he came into the hotel, trying to make his way to one of the upper floors where they have meeting rooms, before they give us the press briefing. and you know, he said there is nothing new to report. but that crush of journalists really tells the story of how desperate everyone is, the families, the media, and yes, even malaysian officials, for the last scrap of information that might tell us something about flight 370 and how it disappeared that night 14 days ago. poppy, john? >> jim, you bring up a great point here. i think the hope associated with these two possible pieces of debris has obscured what had been an investigation into the possible causes of what happened to this plane. you say they've been going back over every piece of information. that flight simulator from the pilot's home for a day or two had been one area where they really wanted to delve in and get some more information. the fbi reportedly thinks it can get some of that

and america found out about saddam hussein's invasion of kuwait on cnn. but after all this, congress keeps pouring billions of dollars into that big sinkhole called the central intelligence agency. i say with a track record like that, congress doesn't need a budget committee, congress needs a proctologist. i think the record's real clear. congress should fire the cia and hire cnn. maybe we'll learn what's happening in the world. >> i still don't know what he meant by the proctologist thing, but that's kind of just the way he talked. that was congressman james traficant, democrat of ohio. he sadly is not even having one of his best hair days in that clip. james traficant's toupee, itself, is a thing of legend. james traficant was ultimately expelled from congress after convicted of bribery and false tax returns and racketeering and other corruption charges. he ended up serving seven years in prison. some of it without the hairdo. back in 1997 when he was talking about firing the cia and hiring cnn he was still a member in good standing of congress. and con

going back to saddam hussein.ut also continuing currently with iran, sanctions that arguably have had a great deal of success. it is early admittedly in this game, but do you see any signs at this point that the sanctions against russia are working, are changing puttp's behavior? >> thank you, jim. i do think these are the kind of sank shngs that work will work but likely in the long term. the premise behind these kinds of measures is to unplug russian banks, businesses, key business leaks, from the international banking and commercial world. that is what has been at the heart of the isolation of iran and other sanctions of processes that we've put in place. what you've seen with the naming of banker, the 17th largest bank in russia, the first salvo in beginning to unplug the banking system from the global system. that's why you saw a shiver in the markets, which i think is a good indicator, and also in the investment community. i've heard from a lot of them where they're very concerned about the instability and u

good days, as he would say, when he was growing up, and the stories of the struggles under saddam hussein, the deterioration that iraq suffered. so this trip was about connecting with my roots. it's about going there and seeing it for the first time. and seeing the places that my father spoke. you know, that little alley that he grew up in, his house, my aunts and uncles, and it was just a wonderful experience. >> homecoming for anyone who has never been to the place of their roots, it's filled with you think a romanticized version in your head of what it's going to be like. there's this huge buildup for you, your entire life, and did that happen in and what was it like once you arrived there? >> that's exactly what happened. because when i arrived, i remembering in the airplane, and as the airplane was approaching the airport, so many different emotions were going on inside of me. i was wondering, what am i going to see? i was both excited and i was nervous tainment. i was excited to experience this country, but i was afraid that the headlines that i had been reading for so long had pois

that saddam hussein would somehow build and fly a nuclear weapon to the united states and then drop itwe could obliterate him and his country? i never believed that argument or the bush/cheney crowd believed it. it was a selling piece. i believe the war was fought because bush and cheney and the neocons wanted to fight it, overthrow and kill hussein. just as they wanted us knocking off every other leader in the region from iran, to libya, to syria who didn't play ball with us. i think knocking off opponents is in dick cheney's brain suit, how he thinks. bush agreed with the way cheney thinks. the second reality that comes out of rachel maddow's title for thursday night's documentary is the iraq war was this country's war. we decided to fight it. we decided to invade another sovereign country. we decided to go in and knock off the government and kill anyone who got in our way. it was us, all the way. and now the same people who blew the bugles for us to invade that country, iraq, are blowing the bugle because some other country, russia, did something a little bit like it. the big differ

bush to push saddam hussein out of kuwait.oday, if that happened today, do you think they would blame george bush? probably not. but they're blaming obama. this guy attacked one of our allies. well ought to unite behind our president and do what we can to force him out of there. >> beyond blaming the president on the ukraine situation, joe, they actually started praising the macho of putin. they actually started acting as if putin were some invincible macho man, and that obama should learn leadership from him. >> yeah, well, tell that to bin laden. and all the other people that the president has captured. i mean, it was -- he is sitting up there tweeting about the fact that the president was wearing jeans on a saturday talking to putin on the telephone, as if putin cared what the president was wearing. i mean, this is childish when you really think about it. you know, he -- so putin's bare-chested. obama is fully dressed, but he is wearing jeans. i mean, how silly can you get when two super powers are about ready to square off
