he's a man who call themselves the mujahideen say they're on their way to fight a holy war against our song. in washington senators asked the head of america's intelligence james clapper i think what happens if false are we prepared for the situation of a possible field state were al qaeda enjoys a safe harbor in refuge. from which to coordinate attacks his response bears no optimism there would be a kind of a vacuum i think that. would lend itself to. extremists . operating in syria which is particularly troublesome some has had different question is the u.s. on the same side as opining on syria and whether its policies are indirectly aiding the terrorists or american strategists would have to be fools not to see what al qaeda is doing not to ask the question if you. good for al qaeda can it be good for us in not to look. he may be a ruthless dictator and what he's doing but what comes after him when he falls i think your kind of goes it's best work or it works best when he finds a country that is fundamentally for you this is why i'm against plan putting weapons in and aiding the ant

before you know t they'll be marine mujahideen. we have seen the footage of their training camps.y speak in code. >> stephen: i'm pretty sure that's arabic. and need i remind you we dumped osama bin laden in the ocean. it's only a matter of time until he recruits young impressionable male dolphins by promising then an eternity in paradise with 72 herring. we must abandon this dolphin program before it's too late. and they declare jeee-eee-had. (applause) didn't realize-- didn't know i spoke arabic, did you? (laughter) >> stephen: finally, alarming news out of the u.n., in that the u.n. is news. jim? >> police in new york say somebody delivered 35 pounds of cocaine to the united nations last week. they say the coke was stashed inside these two white bags made to look like diplomatic pouches. the head of the securities united nations said somebody probably used the logo in order to bypass inspection at the u. is is mexico border but never intended for the package to actually be delivered to the united nations. >> stephen: which brings me to the number one threat in america, coked up

[ female announcer ] more people are using wireless devices in more ways than ever. and our networks are getting crowded. but if congress frees up more wireless spectrum, we can empower more people to innovate, create jobs, and put momentum behind our economy. and a spectrum auction could raise as much as 30 billion dollars to help fund the payroll tax cut. it's simple. more spectrum means more freedom. for everyone. . >> back to our top story in spotsylvania county, a check wishing -- kirk employee found hims

history of arming radicals afghanistan one example that it was a placing itself in alliance with the mujahideen including osama bin laden and these people who now of course it is lately been deploring as fanatical fanatical enemies that the united states said these these alliances. totally cynical and totally opportunistic there's not a shred of prince william you know but despite the hawks outcry the obama administration is taking a more cautious stance with regards to syria we don't think more arms into syria is the right answer some analysts say arming the very much fractured syrian opposition would contribute to its for the radicalization and would make a political solution virtually impossible a number say washington might support arm supplies in directly so its arab allies as if now the administration denies having such plans but will that position hold. down reporting from washington our team. michel chossudovsky from the center for research in globalization says foreign intelligence operatives on the ground are helping to start a political chaos in syria i certainly know it's the fact t

mujahideen not his real name has been fighting the assad regime for months he went to all protests and spent many days in jail and now he says the crisis has gone too far. as for me i give up actually because it too is not just because not just. war we are losing. by these evil regimes this engine. is and you give me i'm ready to give up. in the waiting for the for the promises but not everyone is ready to compromise with the death of the two journalists and homes an american war reporter and a french photographer pressure from overseas has become more tangible we need to be international community needs to do more to help the syrian people but the wrath hears that is helping hand may also be carried to our friends we should consider every option ranging from sanctuaries to seeing their weapons are brought to the hands of those who are resisting us so they can defend themselves here in syria the home of position seems to strongly oppose the idea of foreign help. we don't want any interference from abroad these countries may think that they can use this for the real interest of the syri

we haven't really had the best history of working with radical islamists say for arming the mujahideen in afghanistan and our fights and against the soviets. created by during the reagan administration. is is the washington created and to see. in the and an ally issues is an ally to get a stand. about how to use as an ally. i'm sorry how about how do you have an ally. with the soviets in afghanistan and that was the ally but rhetorically. al qaida is demonized is an enemy but al qaida is used bin ladden when he was alive was used to realize who's being used to pakistan's interior services intelligence is i.s.i. this is always america great but america has no qualms in the slanderous government but it's only arabia the stream of the radicalized is not as close u.s. ally it would be very happy to a civil government in syria and libya anywhere in the region what america wants is any regime whether it's islam as secular or whatever radical not so radical is simply want to regime that supports western interests maybe washington's what's going on in syria you've got to up decision groups you
