as they did in kuwait. >> well, it's an area of critical importance. the oil resources, reserves impacts on the global economy. despite the increased production in the united states the tapping of the gas and the shale oil. the middle east will retain and the gulf region in particular a tremendously powerful role in how the global economy is going to be working these coming years. years, decades, i would say. >> as we mentioned before saudi arabia proposing a ceasefire in yemen, it could begin on tuesday. five days, a truce, to let humanitarian aid get in. mr dew shorn, do you believe the ceasefire will hold? >> frankly i'm not optimistic considering what i have been witnessing, like most of us in the media and in the public at large, in terms of their developments in yemen. and the unwillingness of the houthis and the followers of ali abdullah saleh the previous president of yemen to play the diplomatic side of this equation. i think that the ceasefire will go into effect at 11:00p.m. on tuesday. but, again, it was conditioned by the fact that the dif

saudi arabia, kuwait, united arab emirates all attended the summit at camp david although only kuwait and qatar have sent their leaders. and said it would try to make those happen quickly. we are really looking at what we can do to expedite the provision of support, and capacity building to the g.c.c. in areas like missle defense and maritime security. counter terrorism capacity, border security. these are the types of capabilities that i think are directly relevant to the threats across the region. to include not just destabilizing but also terrorist groups like isil. >> in maryland and as we had expected this particular focus on iran has been all about trying to reassure the countries but it is okay to go ahead with the nuclear plan. >> what they are saying and what we would expect to see in the final communique, of course, they talk about there being a formality. an exclusive interview on al jazeera on wednesday said that simply wasn't going to happen. they can improve training and special forces. they can improve maritime security. that is very important fur the countries there, a

bush's intervention into kuwait which retrospectively looks reasonable. he voted for the war in iraq. hillary clinton and joe biden. the reason it's simple in my judgment and it's not a predictor how it will go in the future. by the '80s and '90s there was a view among all kinds of political experts that for a democratic liberal to get elected president he or she had to show toughness on the military field. so you look at who voted for the iraq war on the democratic side, the major supporters on the side you would expect them to vote no were those running for president. i wish i hadn't done that. now the country has shifted, so i don't see them doing that again. >> isn't that an indictment? gloss it over and say, well, the reason they did it is because they wanted to be president. >> yes. it's an indictment of democracy, it is true. >> no, i'm sorry. don't let them off the hook. it's an indictment of the people who made that vote. >> yes, it's an indictment of the people who made the vote but what does it say about the future? it says when people are very

two other states will not be there, the emirs of kuwait and qatar, but often the heads of states could not travel when illness effects them, and that's happened with two other leaders. this is not perhaps the gathering that the white house wanted, and perhaps there is a question mark why they would denounce a gcc summit when they could not guarantee all six heads of state could not be here, that is slightly embarrassing but when they talk detail they have people that they have around the table when they talk at different at the white house on wednesday and then of course at camp david on thursday. >> should we expect anything concrete out of this? >> it might mean more military operations together and it most certainly will mean the clearing of the way of more arms of the c gcc. when it comes to arms sales there won't be a huge influx of arms because in u.s. law israel has to have the advantage over those who would seek to do the country harm, and the gcc would come under that, even though the gcc and israel are very much on the same name when it comes to how the u.s. approaches iran a

the gcc was established in 1981 and formed by the middle eastern nations of bahrain kuwait, cut tar tarnsions between the gcc and america are nevertheless obvious king salman turned down his invitation. why? because the gulf cooperation counsel worries that president obama allowing iran to become a nuclear super power and they doubt his commitment to their security. they issued stern requests. they want mr. obama to allow them to import high technology and u.s. military's equipment. until now it's been limited in the region. but the gcc also wants america to establish a ballistic defense system that would protect them from potential missile attacks. as indicated by on going gcc military operations in 'em men they're warning without america's support they'll take aggressive destabilizing action alone. president obama at camp david president obama: it will detour and confront any threat to the going gritty that is inconsistent with the charter. >> should they give the gcc what it wants? some of what it wants. if he's going to pursue its nuclear strategy and wants to have influence he has
