somebody else could fill that vacuum in iraq as we've, you mentioned with islamic state for example. well, if the song state does filled that vacuum, that will be certainly due to the fact that the us invasion of 2003 created fertile conditions for the rise of the so called islamic state. i think one of your previous guest mentioned that inevitably one u. s. catastrophe leads to another. and you certainly see that in iraq where the overthrow of saddam hussein and the expenditure of blood and treasure and iraq only led to the rise of the islamic state. just like you can say that the assassination of fuel money the, are running a military leader by mr. trump, has not provided some sort of holiday for us forces in iraq. because what that is meant is that mr. sula, money successor does not have a firm grip on the running and back forth was in iraq, as mr. sula money did. so, the united states just stumbles from one catastrophe. once we ask, go to another 01 historian and african american study. thanks for joining us. in the program, good to have you on today. on a lighter notes, a certain

and of course, at a certain point, al-qaeda and the islamic state will reestablish sanctuaries there. i don't see a threat to the homeland in the near future, but needless to say, we'll see what they're capable of doing, and we are going to have to play very close attention. i know that the intelligence community is vastly better and vastly better equipped and much more capable, both in terms of systems and capabilities and also processes, than prior to 9/11. nonetheless, that could emerge as a threat, because the taliban has shown no signs that it is going to cut ties with al-qaeda. and we'll see where the islamic state, which now has an affiliate in the afghanistan-pakistan region, ends up as well. david: explain to our viewers who may not have any familiarity with this terrain what the military importance of these interpreters is for a commander like you. what do they do? why are they so essential? gen. petraeus: well, they do much more than just translate from english to pashto or dari or whatever language dialect and so forth and vice versa. they're also, in many cases, your eyes
