talking from north to south, east to west, from the banks of the tigris-euphrates up to muzzle -- mosul. it tells you the rockies have a long way to go before the contract into the networks that pull this off. >> it is not be diminished force. >> i would suggest the networks are in place. they have revealed themselves. i w would see is an immediate repeat of this in the near future. when you have an event like this, you have exposed yourself. i would hope the iraqis are digging in to what cracks exist as a result of this. >> the americans have offered to keep another 10,000 u.s. forces beyond the december 1 deadline for withdrawal. not a very big number. the think it would make a difference in the security scenario? >> it depends on what those forces look like. i would suggest, without having an inside scoop, there are intelligence forces that would be able to share access to u.s. and national systems. also, you will have lift capabilities, quick reaction capability, and special forces to do something against those targets. >> is the discussion about u.s. forces a red herring? this also

we are talking from north to south, east to west, all the way up to mosul. this tells you the iraqis have a long way to go in terms of their ability to crack into the networks that exist that can pull this off. >> networks are clearly still there. it is not be diminished force we thought it was. >> i would suggest the networks are in place. they have revealed themselves. i doubt you would see an immediate repeat of this in the near future. when you have an event like this, you have exposed yourself. security forces and military forces are digging in to what cracks exist as a result of this. >> the americans have said they have offered to keep another 10,000 forces there beyond december 31. not a big amount. will it make a difference in this kind of scenario? >> it depends what those forces look like. i would suggest -- without having an inside scoop, i will tell you intelligence forces will be able to share access to u.s. and nationals just a mouse -- national systems. you will have special forces capability to do something quickly against targets. >> is the

spirit of corporation was also on display yesterday afternoon as i toured a combined command center in mosul where iraqi security personnel respond to and oversee side by side with their kurdish counterparts all security operations in the province. this was once bloody ground fought over viciously, sacrificed for greatly by iraqis, americans and others in our coalition. and today it is peaceful and prosperous and petroleumed skillfully by citizens of this great country. it is a model both of iraqi sovereignty and of the very transition to iraqi responsibility that we have all been pursuing. i give great credit to the general for his leadership in that regard and i thank general austin for his terrific work as well. regardless of whether or not your government asks us to stay, regardless of whether or not my government does so if asked, we have proven together through hardship and through bloodshed that leadership can be yours and should be yours alone. nothing changes about my military's dedication to that goal or my nation's dedication to furthering our long-term strategic partnership. we h

afraid and came to moscow full of desire to fight and we're hoping to win we had a few chances in mosul and i hope we'll have enough of them here to lead gaze coming off a two one home defeat in a match where it was considered a hot favorite in the latest round in the polish league that could mean several things including the fact that the team finds it hard to cope with two matches a week well it's either that or leg it was conserving energy as head of the europa league play off against spartak moscow because i don't think lego lost that match because their team as we couldn't get a particular opponent a match against them in poland was very emotional and took away a lot of their energy the polls admitted that match against spartak was their best performance in the recent years. well sports drew in their last away match in the russian premier league against their namesakes from niger where it seems that sport socks performance doesn't fall into certain pattern after all before their two two draw in the first leg against the red and whites thrashed one of russia's most promising sides a

forth by the african union and the united nations as you know there have been several meetings in mosul with representatives from both tripoli on benghazi a russian presidential special envoy travel to tripoli on benghazi we also maintain contact with the various third parties for the humanitarian situation in libya you are right signaled that it is a matter of serious concern for the entire international community in recent days we have provided additional. aid shipping food medicines and other humanitarian items to both tripoli and benghazi. as we discuss events in this region we can't avoid touching upon it's a key problem i mean the palestinian issue generations of israelis and palestinians have been assured some of the middle east peace process was one we still haven't seen any feasible progress in negotiations would you say this is a bad luck or is there a way to get the peace process on track and what would it require. like you said the palestinian issue is a key issue for the entire region i believe that regardless of the out of spring and the developments in particular countrie

the 144th military police company, a michigan army national guard unit, are traveling from tikrit to mosul do throughout the deployment, they videotape the journey. specialist ron dickinson is driving the armored humvee. it's a trip he'll never forget. >> nobody would believe us if we didn't have it on tape. >> three other members of his unit are inside the vehicle, including sergeant jason daw. >> if you slack off and don't pay attention, that's when they get you. >> they've been in the country for several months and seen their fair share of improvised explosive devices, or ieds. >> ieds are the number one threat as far as i'm concerned because you don't know where they're going to be, what they look like or when they're going to go off. >> they're traveling a long, dusty road through the desert, eager to get back to their base. everything is going fine. then, without warning -- >> whoa! >> -- the road in front of them erupts like a volcano. >> whoa! >> when it first went off, it was like -- it was that split second we think this is probably the worst one i've been through so far and this

he calls uncle tom a dirty batt mosul to read every novel he calls it including the real subversive dangerous nature and turns it into a kind of sentimental thing that denies humanity when it is the opposite to read it doesn't deny that humanity at all and it affirms the humanity. that view was very angry at james because of that.

, you had said that uncle tom's cabin was primarily a firming humanity, and then you mentioned the mosul tread which was a more violent aspect, and you could say that over the long run it was the affirming humanity that more not even if it took the violence to catalyze or create the immediate change, but i think that for me particularly reading uncle tom's cabin is the affirmative parts of it, the humanization of the slaves of uncle tom and eliza crossing the river that compound of the justice with the affirmative parts of their personality that created the power of eight. i get your point that it might take violence, but when you can step back over 100 years and look at it, you realize the stronger power of the affirmative affirmation of humanity. >> on p.m. and the eternal optimist. i happen to be a pacifist myself what is unusual about uncle tom is that there are not that many novels you can read but they're both powerful and very dramatic and exciting and when uncle tom gets them and get their affirmative. there are so many characters that basically even a few of the slave holders ar

the same spirit of cooperation was also onities play yesterday afternoon in mosul where iraqi security personnel oversee side by side with their counterparts all the security operations in that province. this was once bloody ground, sacrificed for greatly by iraqis, americans and others in our coalition. today as peaceful, prosperous and patrolled by citizens of this great country. it is a model both of iraqi sovereignty and of the transition to iraqi responsibility we have all been pursuing. i give great credit to the general for his leadership in that regard and general austin for his terrific work as well. regardless of whether or not your government asks us to stay, regardless of whether or not my government does so if asked, we have proveen together through hardship and through bloodshed that leadership can be yours, and should be yours alone. nothing changes about my military's dedication to that goal or my nation's dedication to furthering our long-term strategic partnership. we have given over thousands of our young lives to achieve it, as have you. it is time to continue to se

fiction for pleasure because i spent so much time working in a nonfiction area, and i always read one mosul at a time and i'm totally in greece and i love it. well, i was going to paris, and i was reading quote coat the paris wife," i was halfway through it on my way over and i downloaded a movable peace because i thought i should read that, too, and then on, a friend of mine was riding a book that's about to come out about seduction in france, and that was in a pds form. haven't been published yet and she sent it to me. and the person whose apartment we were staying in had done a book about restaurants in paris, so i downloaded that. and then i was going on a walk and i didn't want to carry my ipad, it was a little heavier than i would like. i had the first one. and so i went into shakespeare and company and i bought a copy of the paperback so i would have something to walk around and just sit in a cafe and read for a little bit. but by the time i got that i realized i had read about eight books, but i was going back and forth, and it was a very interesting experience parent i'm not sure i

we went to mosul, kir kikukirku. >> you were on bus with other western tourists which actually probablyn't. >> it was actually interesting because some people were there for interesting reasons. a woman was there because her iraqi diplomat lover died and she was there to see her grave. the only way to get into iraq was on a group tour right now. you can't get a single iraqi visa. and then there were some people who just like dangerous things. and there was a german guy who liked to jump our famous things. >> two tour companies, as i understand, that go there. >> yes. >> this was the one that was the american tour company. it's interesting because of all the billions of dollars that our government has spent, are you seeing that the rebuilding efforts are actually taking hold? do you see a country that is now starting to pick up and starting to thrive? >> let's put it this way. the roads are paved and that's nice. however, i will say when i came back they came out with these $6 billion number and i was not that shocked. it was -- one of the reasons i went is it was interesting to see beca
