isis was defeated and the caliphate was defeated however, isis did not go away.sis today is where al qaeda needs to be and they would regroup as long as the conditions allowed isis to happen in the first place isis will come back and we will start seeing afghanistan and became the isis province in west africa and they have it in mozambique and east africa so they are doing terrorist attacks and they are regrouping and they have a global network and i think they were able to recover $300 million before they have money and operatives and they have people in jail but eventually the western countries and the nations and putting them in jail and eventually people start to escape and get out of these concentration camps in refugee camps or whatever you call them and, you know, isis can recruit so isis is still there and dangerous and we see every day more and more terrorist attacks in syria and iraq which indicates the resurgence of the islam state so this is from the sunni perspective but from the shiite perspective iran they came up with the idea of basically copying

however isis did not go away. isis is what al qaeda was after 911 print they will regroup. as long as the conditions that allow isis to happen in the first place still exists, isis will come back. we will start seeing parts of crisis and afghanistan and the isis providence in west africa. we have i sick in east africa. we are doing a terrorist attack. and they are regrouping. they saved a lot of their money. they were able to recover $300 million. so they have money they have operatives. they have a lot of people in jail but eventually it's a western country and they will prosecute them and put them in jail eventually these people will start to escape and get out of these concentration camps or refugee camps whatever you want to call them in syria. isis can regroup. they are still dangerous. we see every day more and more terrorist attacks in syria and iraq. which indicates the resurgent of the so-called islamic state. from the shiite perspective, iran and under soleimani they came up with the idea of basically copying see what they did was very successful for iran so they

isis can recruit . so isis is still there. there still dangerous. we see every day for more terrorist attacks in syria and iraq. that indicates the surgeons. so this is from another perspective. and in another perspective iran another countries in mind, came up with the idea basically copying the saudi's. and we see what they did. they were very successful. so they are trying to copy the model in yemen and in iraq. and they have successively copied it. and now, even after they spend a lot of money, it seems politically that the iranians have more control of what is happening in the country than the united states just using state hackers. some a lot of these groups that actually also in syria has done. [inaudible]. and in lebanon, he became a very important card in conflict. in the same thing with huma yem. in the southern peninsula. i think we have a violent exchange of groups is very active and popular among a lot of people. in the middle east and they dance to the tune of regional powers or two terrorists. and this makes the region even more dange

however, isis did not go away and as long as the conditions that allowed isis to happen in the firstace did exist and isis will come back. in afghanistan and boca around and in north africa and they have isis now on mozambique in east africa so they're all doing terrorist attacks and they are grouping and [inaudible] i think they were able to recover $300 million before they started losing so they have money and people in jail but eventually these neck nations won't prosecute them or put them in jail but these people started to escape and get out of these concentration camps in refugee camps or whatever you call them and isis can recruit so isis is still dangerous and we see every day more and more terrorist attacks in syria and iraq which indicates the resurgence of the islamic state. this is from the shiite prospective iran and they came up with the idea of basically copying the saudi's and we say what they did with hezbollah and it was successful so they are trying to copy that model in yemen and in iraq and they appear to be successful at replicating it in both of these countries

they just didn't call themselves isis. it was, they hoped americans would do their job for them won't be no resistance. so i agree, absolutely. with what george just said, that what you said, these policy is going to be more aggressive because it was just an american nationalist, unpleasant, cruel, you know, radia for cruelty. but he was, he wasn't ideological, you know, or his ideology was very simple. you know, i know israel, i support israel, i don't know we're on. i think we should, while we're on, you know, i think what the deep state was so much opposed to tromp that they didn't go along with his idea or take in iraq. and now it's just very fine to see how james to regis is sane or trump is dangerous. you mad? they could rendezvous? have i want you to pull constantly since in 2000 they had been a bomb, a pool, and of the same idea. there were no doubts about it. you know, people like james 3 just said, oh yes, yes, we should do something about iran and there was no problem. but you remember how people were actually t

they just didn't call themselves isis. it was the whole americans would do their job for them won't be no resistance. so i agree absolutely. with what george just said that what you say the sports is going to be more aggressive because trump was just an american nationalist, unpleasant, cruel. you know, radio for cruelty, but he wasn't, he wasn't ideological. you know, his ideology was very simple. you know, i know israel, i support israel. i don't know. iran, i think we should bomb iran, you know, but i think was the deep state was so much opposed to trump, that they didn't go along with his idea overtaking iraq. and now it's just very fine to see how james the regis is sane or trump is dangerous. he may take iran that will have a number of useable consequences. in 2000, they're going to bomb a point of the same idea. there were no doubts about it. you know, people just the bridges said, oh yes, yes, we should do something about iran and there was no problem. but you remember how people were actually to emigrate in from i

efforts to combat isis in iraq and syria. posted by the middle east institute, live coverage on c-span2. >> we created back in june of this year, and it's a platform where current and former military and defense literature both the united states and the region are able to discuss some of the most important policy issues facing the two sides we were fortunate to inaugurate this series on june 10 with a conversation with the command of centcom frank mckenzie. since then we have the honor of hosting some of the countries of brightest most seasoned leaders in the defense space including former u.s. dp michele flournoy, current director grant, current centcom directory commander malloy who just transitioned into that role having served earlier as the commander. we also hosted u.s. dp former u.s. dp jim miller, former socom commander, the current security chief duke, former national security affairs derek, and, of course, former lebanese armed forces commander or i should say rear admiral joseph. let me take this opportunity to tha

forces, or if the taliban is cooperating with isis or ok, there is no evidence of started on it doing any of that. but nonetheless, the military is ignoring the president and the same thing is happening in syria where we learned the other day from jim jeffrey, who was the trumpet ministration point man on syria. that basically has been lying to the president. he has been misleading the president just of the actual troop numbers in syria. and although it was going to get about 200 forces there, it turned out that if you know it's at least 900, maybe even more off. and what is so shocking about all of this is that he was very proud of having misled the president and the media were clapping and cheering. oh, this is wonderful. that there's the deep state, or who or the national security state, is simply misleading. the elected commander in chief, so it is very troubling, as you know, given in just under what george just said there. i mean, and there's no consequences for obstructing your your superior the commander in chief here. i mean, if this i jeffrey's character, i mean, they applau

that created isis. the president promised to destroy isis. leaving iraq and afghanistan with 2500 troops it's more of a focus on the number than the mission. that's a huge concern. if you have troops in peace keeping operations, the numbers should not be what you concerned with. the mission is your top concern. >> dana: tell me isis and is it reconstituting itself? they had some success finding pockets in afghanistan to rebuild. >> that's the big thing to keep in mind. isis is not just a caliphate. we get focussed on the territory they control. isis is an idea. when you give territory, it gives credence and strength to this idea of isis. they can go out and recount. when you give areas for them to plan and to build and to grow and to recount through, you have a real risk of reconstituting isis. if you think about the fact that the prophecy of these extremists believe they will face peril but some day rise up and destroy the west, this is like the perfect recruiting tool for them. they can say we pushed the united states out. i don't understan

removing our troops let's isis reemerge. isis reemerge.rump is making all the things he said come true without joe doing it. and removing our troops let's isis back. -- lets isis back. this is to cause joe biden trouble in his presidency. i think now is the time that all americans, republican or democrat, should be wondering what was said in all the secret meetings with the russians, with putin in the russians -- putin and the russians in our oval office? one more thing i would like to say before i go. people are wondering, why the spread of the covid across our country has popped up? it is simple. it is trump's super-spreader fears he see had across the country. thousands of people not wearing masks. host: a couple headlines i want to share this morning you might be interested in. the wall street journal -- election security watchdog is fired. the president fired the top election security official at homeland security. in recent weeks, he disputed unsubstantiated claims of fraud advanced by mr. trump. that in the wall street journal. also

, the same rag-tag army that beat back isis on the ground.ident trump opened the door to an incursion by turkey into this area. quickly followed by russians, who moved to this base after the u.s. military withdrew. it has led to direct confrontations between american and russian forces, an outright chaos which could provide an opening for isis, according to this spokesman for syrian instabilities. >> it is the best environment for jihadists to prosper. >> reporter: across the border in iraq, the number of u.s. troops was almost half, to 3,000, in september, and this month the pentagon announced another cut of i by january. >> as we kind of scope down force protection measures and smaller footprints -- >> reporter: the general told us it won't impact operations, but critics say that the cuts give a boost to malitia groups in iran that are backed by them. including in baghdad this month. >> they just simply want to stay in charge. they simply want to continue to have power and money and control. >> reporter: with the american presidency in tran

isis has meaning effectively defeated to the syrian government claims in syria . we actually asked on this program president about the roots of the syrian conflict, the discontent, economic inequality in syria that sparked the uprising in 2011. in this book,, you talk about elites in afghanistan, being educated in the u.s., and coming back to afghanistan and the dangers in that new liberal economics creating more inequality than there already is. and there are a lot of graphs in this book about the economic situation in afghanistan, leading to yet more tension. maybe even more islam is to support as the money rises to the top or the money there is, there has been a problem will solve our economic policies of for instance, the farmers will probably make such or of production of poppy harlow have told senators that if he wanted to if we wanted them to shift away from opium poppy, we should provide subsidies for the growing. it's because they used to be a big center for growing cotton. but cotton, if they grew it just for the free market, it will be profitable. and o

>>'s home was destroyed by isis. >> it has been damaged by the bombing of the neighboring houses. they are renovating the place and they are doing a good job and i think they will finish their work in a week. >> nrc said they face many challenges. >> there are a lot of shelter needs and also job opportunities. lack of basic services such as electrical, drinking water. >> in addition, there are isis may be gone, but it has been replaced by competing forces. some affiliated with iran, others with the pkk. a group fighting against turkey but also occupies territory in iraq. >> i don't know who to point to. there are so many forces, so many political tensions here. the security situation is not good enough these days because of the forces that are here now. people are scared because of the tensions between the forces. >> in october, an agreement to return control of security in the iraqi state was returned. this is the advisor to the kdp government. >> the aim with disagreement -- resistance to the forces which are outlawed organizations. they are outlaws they came from other countrie

and thanks to our more than 80 partners in the defeat isis coalition. we have destroyed the isis caliphate and we will ensure they never again gain a foothold to attack our people. in closing, we set out to accomplish three goals in 2001, first go abroad and destroy the terrorists, their organizations and their sanctuaries. two, strengthen our defenses against future attacks. and three, prevent the continued growth of islamist terrorism to include working with allies and local partners to take the lead in the fight. today is another critical step in that direction and the result of president trump's bold leadership. with the blessings of providence in the coming year, we will finish this generational war and bring our men and women home. we will protect our children from the heavy burden and toll of perpetual war and we will honor the sacrifices made in service to peace and stability in afghanistan, iraq, and around the world, and celebrate all those who helped us secure freedom over oppression. god bless our women and men in uniform. thank you very muc

has always funded al qaeda and then learn isis in more recent times. given what it feels like on the ground in afghanistan from the provinces to the cities. but i don't know if i call the ideas about conspiracy theories, orientalist isaacs, no country in the world is as it has as many conspiracy theorists right now as the united states. we are suffering a great deal from that. so it's not, it's not something that is unique to afghanistan or the global south. you know, that 80 percent of the republicans in the united states believe that the presidential election was so all of, of course, when people are powerless and unable to control votes and things don't seem to make sense. they try to come up with serious records, which they do make sense. and often the way that they seem to make sense as to posit that there actually is some secret power that is controlling everything for malign ends. but unfortunately the world is much more chaotic. so that, well, in fairness to our current president, and i know the book ends before the peace deal, he did succeed i

he founded isis and he was trying to rebuild it again. we eliminated isis. som -- soleimani is dead. iran is not doing well. they had a 27% g -- p decline. the first -- 27% gdp dough klein. p -- decline. the first call will be from the supreme leader. i would love to make a deal with him. we can't let him have a nuclear weapon if that's okay. obama paid $150 billion. it's not even considered. these are people who don't have any clue about life. can you believe it, cash. exactly, where is that beautiful plane we came in. somebody stole air force one. planes like that. i recognize the capital of israel and opened the american embassy in jerusalem. i also recognized israeli sovereignty over the golan heights. 52 years they have been negotiating. people would fly in, fly out. have dinner, have hundred, fly in, fly out. i did it in two hours, maybe a little bit less. instead of endless war we have peace in the middle east. no blood in the sand. no cost would be nothing. after all these years frankly we said what did obama do? and i heard. you know what i did? i d

you see with the fbi. 11,000 fighters died fighting isis for the united states in a

she had at reputation. representations of isis is what we call the "isis laans"; that's isis sucklingd of iconography that appears to have been terribly determinative in the early iconography of mary and jesus. >> narrator: worshippers of the age-old persian god miras gathered in secret chapels throughout the empire. they would eat sacred meals togeer and celebrate their god's bihday on december 25. >> the egyptian cult and mithraism were twof the great religious movements of the time and certainly would have posed some of the most difficult competition for christianity. >> most people who stu the origins of christianity are curious about how this unlikely movement wou have succeeded in such a powerful and dramatic way. sy and it's not an uestion to answer, why this movement succeeded when others did t. s if you think about the g the ancient world and you think about what they looked like, they looked like the emperor anr his but this religion is saying than every pe man, woman, child, slave, barbarian, no matter who-- is made in the image of god, and is therefore of enormous value in

which fueled the rise of isis and a new round of global terrorism. it would be reminiscent and humiliating for an american departure from saigon in 1975. we'd be with our partners in afghanistan. the brave afghans are fighting the terrorists and destroying the governments leverage. in their talks with the taliban, are designed to end the fightin fighting. our tree would bold in the taliban. especially the deadly and plunge women and girls back into what they experienced back in the 1990s. i would have a weekend and scattered al qaeda a big, big propaganda victory. in the renewed safe haven against america. it will be welcome news2 iran which is long provided arms and support to the taliban. explicitly seeks our retreat from the middle east. a disorganized retreat would jeopardize a track record of the major successes this administration has worked hard to compile. as a number of former investors stated the spectacle of u.s. troops abandoning facilities and equipment leaving the field and afghanistan to the taliban and isis would be broadcast around t

sisterhood and offers them a pathway to purpose and meaning i've talked to multiple people who want to isis to join who went to syria to join eyes that are almost were and the one thing they said is what you want to do become a become a bagger in a grocery store or go potentially be a revolutionary was going to go change the world they're being all they're being offered the opportunity to plus press reset on the video game of life and to come back as a better character with a whole new life and so i mean you can't like completely offer exactly that to just normal things and but if you leave start funding civil society organizations and n.g.o.s and so forth who are at least are trying to offer people in these local communities think about this the majority of people who went to syria to go join isis came from just 10 neighborhoods in france you don't need to do and nationwide program here why not invest a little bit of those efforts in france i was in lu know the city that had the highest per capita rate of people who went to syria and i was going around talking and there was police. and the

in the middle east so as isis retreats retreated then. we i was expecting some kind of. reprisals in europe itself perhaps though. more germany than austria but austria itself i believe the number is something around through had something around $300.00 plus. people who. fighters in isis over the past decade so it is possible number the 2nd thing that surprised me or at least that is very key to understanding these attacks as opposed to the ones in france these attackers were. targeted a mosque. and they were armed with guns and they were multiple at the same scene this family suggest some kind of planning and organization also the timing of the attack on the last day before a lockdown. clearly trying to take advantage of. some crowds still in the streets or walking around as cover perhaps or maybe even. wait to get more victims but. these elements do suggest some kind of organized attack i'm less convinced of the ones in france which seem to be rather. makeshift using knives and so on why i just want to ask you do you know the poor up front. of the wider picture nearby

and thanks to our more than 80 partners in the defeat isis coalition, we have destroyed the isis caliphate and will ensure they never again gain a foothold to attack our people. in closing, we set out to accomplish 3 goals in 2001. 1st, go abroad and destroy terrorists their organizations and their sanctuaries to strengthen our defenses against future attacks. and 3, prevent the continued growth of islamic terrorism to include by working with allies and local partners to take the lead in the fight. today is another critical step in that direction. in a result, the president trumps bold leadership with the blessings of providence. in the coming year, we will finish this generational war and bring our men and women home. we will protect our children from the heavy burden and toll of perpetual war, and we will honor the sacrifices made in service to peace and stability in afghanistan, iraq, and around the world. and celebrate all those who helped us secure freedom over oppression. god bless our women and men in uniform. thank you very much thought we're going to do what your listeners are goi

. >> to trust taliban to police al qaeda and isis is insane. korea is a buffer against china and keeps north korea in check. >> the other thing this new group that's been inserted at the pentagon have in common is they are iran hawks and could be supportive of a military strike against iran before january 20th. back to you, dana. >> dana: jennifer griffin, thank you. let's bring in dan hoffman former cia station chief and fox news contributor. dan, because our election has been kind of all-consuming we haven't heard a lot about what's hang in afghanistan. i know that there had been talks ongoing between the taliban and the new afghan government. is it possible time for us to consider withdrawing our troops? >> well, i would think of the obama administration precipitous withdrawal of our troops from iraq which certainly enabled the growth of isis and its so-called caliphate there. in afghanistan, we have got roughly 3,000 isis fighters as well as al qaeda, including their most senior leadership zawahiri at large. and i think the concern that we

military, al qaeda and isis enclave.it would men hezbollah getting much stronger in the country than it is now. it would mean a flow of refugees, both lebanese and syrians into cyprus and into europe. so a whole bunch of problems. the u.s. has an interest in shoring up and trying to stabilize lebanon, which is not easy to do, particularly because the lebanese ruling class is not helping itself. the trump administration, i think this will be continued under a biden administration, has been quite positive and supportive of lebanon. a lot of support for the lebanese army. and this will continue. a lot of support for hosting over 1.5 million syrian refugees, likely to continue. lot of promise of serious economic support both directly and through the i.m.f. world ank. if lebanon undertakes need red forms that everybody agrees need to happen. i think the policies are there, but lebanon is still falling apart because of a political class that is hopelessly corrupt and hezbollah, which has its own agenda, which is not for the we

the ill canning of isis leader, and stripping the isis streamists of their last pocket of territory inthey say president trump has exaggerated. we defeated i eed isis. we have defeated 100% of the califate. >> that is not true. it's still there. >> president trump has moved the u.s. even closer to its long-time ally saudi arabia, a dangerous policy according to amy pope, who is securitier adviser to president obama. >> he wants a more transactional relationship. they connect with the saudi arabia crowned prince was less important for military sales. we are not giving up hundreds of billions of dollars in order. >> do you think that saudi arabia is worried about a post trump middle east in. >> i'm sure they are. i believe they love this relationship with president trump. >> the opposite is review for saudi arabia's arch enemy, iran. president trump pulled out of the iran nuclear deal and squeezed the country with more sanctions. though experts say it backfired, provoking iran. >> we saw it specifically where iran attacked tankers in the persian gulf. >> joe biden said if he is elected h

this was a must for jesus and get going this isis lot of a much to quote for, but that this is going to test of biased to mobile 1st 2 or 3, certainly for diesel. and i'm only because you go givaudan businesses and give us a faas of the these problems to really zooms to 50 in few days. pass it off to hose the pacific on the fault in the way you flushed it in because a few 1000000 should be gone. bust out a hint, dusty. this is me having visions of it come from the suspected desh, but desh up. that's just what's the cost to missing the scans, fairly stiff seen on the talk seat. so i was a study and it's the end of the day after the finish. bear is in high end a nice on the visits in the club and he's a hip and kind of on the hip issue and it was as hard as of a welcome guest. i was about through a bit of it to view life stuff and the stuff in this, in the other place, the moment of crisis i saw in the seeing it was going to be able to read when the whole father walked or and was a died this would all facts, since i was consist of sons as the so i leave i was the author of ox and i was

which view will fuel the rot of isis and a new round of global terrorism? we heard mcconnell there speaking of this peace deal with the tele bond. what are the short comings here? well, there is a lot to talk about here as specially this peace deal was signed between the u.s. and the taliban. and basically the plan was a gradual withdrawal of u.s. troops until the end of 2021. now the taliban in turn committed to peace talks with the afghan government and those peace talks began september. but they later stalled just a little while after they began. and now with these news, with the planned, with the plans of president trying to withdraw the american troops from afghanistan and from the rock of course. but in particular, talking about afghanistan, that certainly would not be a big incentive for the taliban to put any effort in continuing these negotiations . and as you said earlier, this is take you please in the last weeks of the trip presidency. do we know what president elect soon to be president joe biden would do once he takes power in january or the a

that was a big blow for the kurds at the time that we're a partner in fighting isis on the ground. now it happens again in afghanistan and in iraq and analysts have called this move already a huge gift for the taliban in afghanistan. also, nato secretary general stoltenberg said that afghanistan could become again a platform for international terrorists. so essentially throwing the country back for years. but we do have to keep in mind clear though, that it takes time to withdraw. troops from an assignment like this in time is exactly what the outgoing u.s. administration doesn't have. it's just a little bit under 2 months left until president elect joe biden takes office. and that's right, and you mentioned some republicans are unhappy about this decision. we know that even trump's close ally mitch mcconnell, the republican senate majority leader, opposes the idea. let's take a listen to what he had to say. erupted with the role of u.s. forces from afghanistan, now, would hurt our laws and the light. you're like, the people who wish us harm violence of fucking afghans is still ram

france is involved more than any european country and more battlefields fighting groups like isis. i think they also see it as a particularly vulnerable population. they, if they were to look at a country that they think they can divide and fragment and turn against each other . that's the point of these terrorist attacks. the point of these terrorist attacks is to divide and conquer the. the blast radius of a terrorist attack is not the physical blast radius. it's the virtual blast radius in terms of what it does to society. that's the reason why people carry out terrorism. they don't have anything against people specifically at the concert. what they want to do is create the right the right wing, create lots of tensions. and through through that tension, they hope that more people who are maybe sitting on the edge of joining a group like isis will get pushed over the edge by a backlash. that's very interesting. we thank you for joining us from international russia, brazil and mexico are among the few remaining countries not to have congratulated, u.s. president elect joe biden, a

and they supported isis and al qaida, through turkey and saudi arabia and other regional allies. so there isn't an extraordinary amount of difference between trump and biden. we don't have great expectations, but it is possible that since by then sees himself as the office that have trump, just as trump saw himself as the opposite of obama, since he wants to be portrayed that way. biden may be more flexible, but at the same time, i have no doubt that biden is not going to condemn murder and assassination in iran, just as he never condemned the sanctions. the brutal sanctions that trump imposed upon the iran, which has led to the deaths of children, cancer patients, and people who could not find necessary medicine in this country over the past 2 years, no one in the democratic party and damned these violations against human rights. these cross violations against human rights. so there may be a connection, but again, there's no necessarily, but i should add one final point to bet. it's interesting that whenever a spy is that arrested in iran or a terrorist is arrested in iran, imme

so syria increasingly is being forgotten once isis has the spread of isis has been tamped down. increasingly, it's unclear what the country, what europe and united states and the rest of the, the western world's policy is towards syria. i want to talk about just how difficult it is getting aid into northwestern syria and not just now. i mean, even before this pandemic, it was extremely difficult. could you, could you talk our viewers through the logistics of trying to get such much needed supplies to such a desperate population as your i.q. pointed, it has always been difficult and it has gotten virtually hot that since july of this year, when the cross-court it is lucian to move to one of 2 border crossings that we could have used the falls live in humanitarian aid. now we're looking at supplies that could come from anywhere from the west, but they need to go or only through one border crossing that's we are allowed to use. so the u.n. security council resolution, if you look at today to deliver aid into areas in live for example, study into a leper, for example, that a bit fat
