to believe that there would be no need for nation building after the united states deposed saddam hussein, because there were a lot of people just waiting in the wings to create a functioning democracy as soon as saddam hussein was removed from power. - i was stunned really by the degree to which we knew a great deal about saddam hussein's weapons programs and military. and about the bath party, and very little about the tribal or religious make up of iraq. that meant that when we went into iraq, we didn't have intellectual basis we needed to do proper planning. - [narrator] as us defense capabilities expand, so do concerns over the militarization of american foreign policy. - clearly, the center of gravity had moved to the pentagon, where it remains. that, i think, has become even more true under the trump administration, where the state department is not only having its budget cut, but it's being downgraded in more subtle ways, as being just a rather sort of useless tool in an outdated world. - now there is an emphasis on downgrading soft power. the trump administration is talking about

what if the american come to topple saddam hussein, they will be happy and would not say no.t the american scenario in permitted now and they are waiting for that. do others think that is a likely scenario? i take your point about sanctions as far as the people and a popular uprising but no way under trump is he going to repeat the george bush invasion, toppling regime change, that is not go to happen. he is an isolationist and a protectionist, he... even withjohn bolton as national security adviser? they want to pull america out of the world, that is the point. oddly enough, so did obama. he was an isolationist of sorts. he wanted to pull america's commitment to defending the free world... hang on, israel is now talking to putin. there is much more going on on the back channels, much more to be cynical about as i said before. i don't think, frankly, because i am a cynic and not an optimist, that there is going to be a war, a proper war in the traditional sense in the middle east. there is going to be a rather nasty, sordid carve up and that is all is going to happen. present

david: subsequently president bush decided to invade iraq to topple saddam hussein. light of hindsight, had you known there were no weapons of mass instruction, would you have still gone forward? condoleezza: i say to people what you know today can affect what you do tomorrow, but not yesterday. believed as all the intelligence agencies around the world did that he had weapons of mass to and was reconstituting them quickly, and it was on that basis that we decided that you finally had to do with the international community had been threatening to do to have serious consequences. in retrospect, i don't know if we had known what we would have done. i still think the world is better off without saddam hussein. he was a cancer in the region. through anwent extraordinarily difficult time, and the thing i would do differently is how we rebu rebut iraq. i would rather be iragi than syrian today. iraq has a chance to be a stabilizing element because they have an accountable government, the kurds and baghdad are finding some way of dealing with one another, and it is a very d

noura hussein was forced into marriage at age 16 by her family. she escaped the marriage and fled to her aunt's home, where she remained for three years before she was tricked by her family into returning home. she was then forced to return to her husband, who recruited his family members to hold hussein down while he raped her. when he attempted to rape her again the following day, hussein fended the man off with a knifi, stabbing him to death. noura hussein's case has drawn international attention, with the hashtag #justicefornoura trending on social media. back in the united states, a new survey finds sexual harassment is rampant in the airline industry. the association of flight attendants survey found more than a third of flight attendants experienced verbal sexual harassment within the last year. 18% said they'd been subjected to physical harassment or assault. novelist junot diaz is stepping down as chair of the board of the pulitzer prize just weeks into his term, as the board said thursday it has opened an independent review of sexual abu

i will say this, i still think the world is better off without saddam hussein.cancer in the region. and well in iraq went through an extraordinarily difficult time, i think we made a lot of mistakes postwar, in rebuilding iraq. but i would rather be iraqi then syrian today. iraq has a chance now to be a stabilizing element of the new middle east, because they have unaccountable government. the iraqi kurds and baghdad are finally findings some way of dealing with one another -- they have an accountable government. think iraq would have made syria look like child's play. so you never know what you have prevented. you will never be it were to bring back the lives lost, and never be able to deal with that, but i think in the long run, the long arc of history, iraq will turn out ok. and i wish we had not left in 2011. the one thing that might have made me think differently about it, was to think that we would have not stayed with a few troops there to help make the transition. david: president bush reelected and you become secretary of state. what was it like to go a

when i was on the national 19 91,y council staff in saddam hussein invaded kuwait. at the time there was a company that was developing, under a contract with the defense department, a new capability. it was a boeing 707 aircraft planned with electronics in the back and about 30 people. they built this on to the belly of a boeing 737, a synthetic aperture radar that looked sideways and could see 200 miles off the side of the aircraft. the idea was that they would fly around in an oval, overhead of the army on the ground, and look out in front of the army to see who was out there, and to be see whocall in strikes, is in front of the united states army. the intention was to develop this for the north german plai n, at a time in our history when the biggest threat we faced was the soviet union coming across the gap, and to be able to see where they were so that we could call in air power to destroy them before they moved. it was a revolutionary, new capability. it is hard to imagine now, but at the time were facing saddam hussein in kuwait, one of the things we were mos

well, the president was barack obama, his middle name was hussein... anti—muslim sentiment. business owners with signs saying "muslim—free zone". you cannot say islamophobia is an oxymoron. anti—muslim sentiment exists, yes. too many activists in muslim committees have used islamophobia to shut down debate. any criticism of them and their activities is seen as islamophobic. that is a problem, using that to shut down debate, for me as a muslim, i believe how can you have a phobia against something like that? there is a perception in the west the only good muslim is liberal, someone who does not wear a headscarf, who is not homophobic. ordinary people do not have a problem with ordinary muslims. they just do not. hijab—wearers are free and abound in europe. it is the terrorists that bring on that phobia against ordinary muslims, and we have to put out the fire in the house of islam and get rid of the terrorists in our midst. ed husain, thank you for coming on hardtalk. thank you for having me. thank you for coming on. hello. good morning. the distribut
