campaign to get osama bin laden was started under george w. bush and continued under president obama and i'm. i think any president in his shoes given the information that he had from the cia about the whereabouts of osama bin laden you know about a bad pakistan would have done what he did but that doesn't take away from the fact that it was a successful raid and we did kill the most wanted man in the world and so yes that's a positive but that's one tries it of out of hundreds of negatives and what about has promise i say end of the war in iraq well he ended the war in iraq by. not doing what any sane president would have done which is to keep some of our troops there after we withdrew in order to maintain a presence and make sure that iran was not going to move in and become the leading foreign influence on iraq which it has since become so i don't think that was a success at all now your book average is coming out at a very convenient time i mean it's kind of the crunch time six months left until six months left and the president saying i m

laden or was the mission to kill osama bin laden? >> that is a great question and i'm not want to answer it. >> and he did not. so back here in the bay area, the 49ers say that they want a $30 million that is currently being held by an independent oversight board. state senator from santa clara is getting involved, offering a new bill to try and force what was formally redevelopment money, back into the stadium. the forty-niners sued the board last month and a judge froze the money to prevent the board from using it for students and teachers in their districts. voters approve the money in 2010 specifically for the construction of the stadium and that board will now vote on this issue in august. >> a guilty pleasure for you. the hill in a publication from capitol hill from washington d.c. has issued their 50 most beautiful people list. it is also known as the hottest on the hill and there are six people from california turning heads including four with bay area ties. they are all congressional staffers. apparently is not that easy to

laden from a live osama bin laden.o do anything they could, and they did. they couldn't do very much. >> what is the biggest national security threat facing the united states now? >> our biggest threat i would say is failure to use our position of great power to establish some rules of international conduct which will make it the kind of world we want to live in. we are the big leader. we've got to set the rules, get everybody to go along. we have ability to do that. that will take care of individual threats as they come along. >> good starting point for the next conversation in "the situation room." >> okay. >> admiral, thanks for coming in. >> good to see you, wolf. >> appreciate it very much. >>> happening now, mitt romney upsets the british in london, gets an earful from the prime minister. the admiral that planned the radon osama bin laden shares details with me that he never revealed in public before. >>> and learning about the lab technician accused of infecting thousands of people possibly with hepatitis c. i a

is that consistent with the values that americans say they represent that are different from osama bin laden and that kind of behavior. i mean i wouldn't really want to answer that question as a person. i would more investigate it as a journalist and use it as a chance to understand and help other people understand. >> can i ask you a question? where did you say you heard this? you were watching -- my hear'sal not very good. >> a phillies game. >> where? >> a philadelphia phillies game. >> a baseball game. >> it was a crowd reaction and people were already assembled in respect may be some sort of mob element to it, but i don't know. i think there's a good responses to that and reaction is figure out why you have to take a pretty broad survey and reflect on it. i'll give you my answer's my experience was different than yours. i was in the middle of a siege, getting shelled. i say, "we" really i immediate the mean of misradha. they weren't shelling me, the people of misradha. i happen to be sort nf that postpost postal code, if you will, where it was happening, and i woke up and we were

and i cannot imagine the courage it took for him to go and try to help us to get osama bin laden, whenladen was living comfortably in the middle of a city in pakistan next to or close to a military academy and he had the courage to go in there and help us get him when the pakistani government was not doing much. he lived there for years and years but to put him in prison after helping us get one of the world's worst mass murders. >>neil: if you are not up on the story he knew this was a doesn't possibility and probability giving this information over, but having said that, it is almost $2 billion we give pakistan, billions we give egypt, and we have a map of the world and can you not see it from where you are and everyone in red shows money we give out. it is virtually the whole world. i don't know how canada got shortchanged but that is the wait world is going, all getting money from us in one way, shape, or form, and tens of billions a year, why don't we reassess this whole relationship? >>guest: well, here is the complete insanity of this, we actually borrow money from china but we

we've also taken out osama bin laden. the united states is proposing to spend $88.5 billion again this year in afghanistan. we're going into our 11th year of u.s. involvement in afghanistan. 11 years ago afghanistan was among the poorest and most corrupt countries on the face of the earth. today it is still among the most corrupt and poorest countries on the face of the earth. we've lost 2,000 american soldiers, 16,000 wounded. last week the u.s. government decided to spend $105 billion rebuilding the infrastructure of this country. less than $53 billion in each of the next two years for a nation of over 200 million people. you just spent $78 billion rebuilding the roads and bridges of afghanistan, a nation of 30 million people. it's time that we do nation building right here at home. of the 34 provinces in afghanistan the spiritual and financial harm of the taliban is in kandahar province. because that is disproportionately where the poppy fields are that finances the taliban. the literacy rate for women in kandahar prov

without those, you don't have the intelligence to get osama bin laden? acknowledge that president bush was right and he was wrong? >> why do we have the information? information that, again, this is a culmination of years of operations. this culmination, you look at the capability of the force. seal team 6 and the special operations family, they didn't happen overnight. i mean, this was a long process. we have been in sustained combat operations, the longest period in our nation's history. and these guys are war-hardened veterans. when you -- when you say that this is a specific team to a task like this, you know, you put the team, you put the dependence, you put the whole community, i think, in jeopardy. what is happening overseas, when you negotiate the ability to fight at night and the ability to have independent operationsia we have to take a force that's known for ops. they put the troops at risk. enough's enough. >> sean: how much are you looking to raise? and is this going to be the ads, i assume the super pac will put out? we only have a few seco

right now. >> and he has got, some would say, quite a tough opponent in obama, because he did kill osama bin laden. he has ended the war in iraq. where can mitt romney actually score some points here? >> it is very difficult. this is not jimmy carter he is up against. this is a man with a very considerable foreign policy record and one that is robust, to say the least, but i think there are some areas where he can score points. he went on about intelligence links, and i think that bothers a lot of people. whether it bothers the electorate, i do not know. and afghanistan, that is something that causes a great deal of concern in military intelligence circles, but we wonder how much the people care, because most just want to get out. i think it is a legitimate case to raise as a matter of concern. he did say he would order a full review. he did not report that line. that may be getting a little too close to 2014 to begin telling the allies," we are changing everything." >> what to achieve? >> a pretty formulate trip, particularly when you compare it to the barack obama barnstorming tour four ye

is the killing of osama bin laden justified? could they have taken osama bin laden prisoner?f they could have but they killed him on the spot, there are lots of questions to go with it. >> cenk: people may not recognize that we're purposely killing these guys rather than capturing them. that seem to be the case. >> sure. >> cenk: a lot of people would ask, why, why would we do that? >> well, i mean there is--i talked to a lot of people for the story. a lot of republican leaders that i talked to would say that we're killing them really as something as a matter of convenience. since we have shut down the detention and capture and interrogation program, we have really no choice. we have nothing to do with them but to kill them. the obama administration has rejected that outright, but they have good reason to. the numbers are pretty startling. there really has been no high-profile captures. this has been one high-profile capture of a reputed terrorist under the obama administration. there have been literally thousands of killings. >> cenk: it seems clear that this is not an accid

forces in conducting dna tests to help locate osama bin laden. we have learned that the president of the united states personally decides the human targets of drone strikes in other countries by looking at mug shots and brief biographies of targets, and that we have been told resembled the high school yearbook layout. we have learned that the united states in cooperation with its ally israel sabotaged the iranian nuclear campaign with the sucksnet virus. we have learned that obama expanded the assault even after the virus accidently made its way into the internet in 2010. we have learned that the united states sabotaged iranian computers with the flame virus. we have learned that the cia takedown of an al qaeda plot to blow up the u.s.-bound airliner involved in international sting operation with the double agent tricking terrorists and the handing over of prized possession. a bomb reportedly designed to slip through airport security. we have also learned that the double agent belonged to another ally, saudi arabia. we didn't learn of the secret

are new questions this morning about how long president obama waited before pulling the trigger on osama bin laden. you see a new book claims that the bin laden raid was repeatedly stalled and nearly derailed by top presidential advisor valerie jarrett. >> the author alleges jarrett's constant worries about the impact of the failed attempt began to fray the operation. the white house shot don the reports. >>> there are dire warnings about looming military budget cuts. >> virginia, d.c. and maryland could suffer the most if lawmakers don't stop the cuts. fox 5's tom fitzgerald has the story. >> reporter: in a crystal city ballroom, defense contractors rally warning they are under the gun. >> we are worried about jobs. we are worried about our country. >> i personally worried about the whole industry. >> reporter: at issue are automatic spending cuts. that means the military is staring at a half trillion dollars of automatic cuts all because congress' supercommittee couldn't reach a deal to shrink the deficit. >> this can be avoided and we have to come together to stop it now. >> reporter: nat

if it leaks, we can't wiretap osama bin laden and sources get call in the kremlin and killed. how to balance those, equally vital values pulling in both directions, it's impossible to say in the abstract. that can only be resolved in the context of a specific case. in the new york times case, what kind of information is at stake there? as it turns out the information though classified wasn't that embarrassing anyway. it was embarrassing but it wasn't operational details. it was a history of the u.s. involvement in southeast asia. when balanced against the compelling interest and free speech, it's easy to see why information of that minimal sensitivity, why the balance tilts in favor of the press. but on the other hand, information about the name of the pakistani doctor who assisted us in tracking down osama bin laden and now in jail much more profound harm to the national security. the first amendment equities this that case may look very different. >> i would add i think this ties in with the colloquy with mr. wainstein. i think it's also there to protect the government becau

not one man came out to say that we know osama bin laden is there. of drug baron living there so they wanted to keep away. so this is the reality. and such things happen. after all, 9/11, there were 19 people under training for six months. they hijacked four plains from four different airfields. they left the flight path and went to the world trade center. how come cia didn't know anything about this at all? these things happen. it is negligence. >> let's take a break. i want to talk to you about american politics. the election is coming up in a few months time. also about the situation in the middle east, a fascinating conversation with tony blair about how exciting and yet also potentially dangerous the transformation that is sweeping through the middle east could be for that region and for the world. ♪ [ female announcer ] pop in a whole new kind of clean. with new tide pods. just one removes more stains than the 6 next leading pacs combined pop in. stand out. than the 6 next leading pacs combined well another great thing about all this walking i'

navy admiral who planned and executed the raid that killed osama bin laden. our discussion was extraordinary, candid, and at times even funny. we're going to play part of it throughout the hour. admiral william mccraven may not be a household name, but as you're about to see, he's a genuine u.s. hero. we always think of, in recent years, of course, at least in the past year, with admiral m mccraven, as the orchestrater, the architect of the raid that killed osama bin laden. and you know, we've all read a lot about it. i know peter bergen is here, he's written a whole book about it, an excellent book about it. but this is the guy who's sitting right here, who had the guts to tell the commander in chief, we should do it, let's do it, and when you ordered that raid, and when you said, you think -- you didn't even know for sure that bin laden was in a abbottabad in that compound, did you? >> let me make one thing clear, i didn't order the raid. >> but he told the president of the united states that he thought he could do it. >> and this is not a small point. the

laden but hopefully any president would have gotten osama bin laden.act of the matter this president has said to a meeting with jewish leaders he prefers to have daylight between the united states and israel and we believe very strongly there should be no daylight. this president has used the harshest diplomatic language in our diplomatic arsenal to condemn israel's policy of building in its eternal capital of jerusalem. this president has also changed the entire paradigm in the middle east peace process to the point in which "the washington post" in a scathing expose the other day put the blame for the collapse. peace process at the president's feet because he is determined and laid out preconditions for israel which is going back to the 67 borders with land swaps as a precondition which has stalled the whole peace process now. so by forcing israel to have preconditions in the peace process which will result in israel being weaker and less secure in terms of its border, by condemning its policies in jerusalem, and by wanting daylight between the unite

have no objections with an apology when someone does something that's a mistake but they housed osama bin laden right next to their major military base and he was there for years and they knew it. to think they didn't know it is idiotic. maybe they should be apologizing to us. we've been feeding them billions. they were housing psychologically our worst enemy. maybe they should apologize to us. >> >> greta: apparently it's cost us $2 billion to go through a different supply route for our troops going through russia. it's cost us a lot more money because of pakistan closing down their routes. we've gotten into a squeeze. either we apologized or didn't. saves us a lot of money. , on the other hand, we haven't heard an apology for them at all for housing and giving safe haven to osama bin laden. >> they don't apologize to us, because they don't respect us. it's very simple. i didn't know it cost us $2 billion. i heard a different number. let's deduct it from their foreign aid. it's easy to solve. if we should be giving them foreign aid at all. i'm looking at what's going on over there and th

it's called "the finish: the killing of osama bin laden." and then i've been waiting 11 years for a novelrom lawrence norfolk, and he delivered a book to me called "john satter knoll's beast." it's about a young boy, john, who is a prodigy of the kitchen andecomes a cook, the most renowned cook of his time, falls in love with the daughter of the lord of the manor, the english civil war intervenes, and the puritans don't like fancy cooking. anyway, it's for the audience who loves -- each chapter opens with a recipe, and i commissioned 13 original illustrations, and i'm going to make the most beautiful book, and i'm excited about it. that's coming in the fall. >> two more questions. what's it like now to have amazon as a publishing competitor in i mean, obviously, all the publishers like amazon to sell their books, but -- >> well, you know, reporters have asked me that question, and i'm not particularly concerned by it. in fact, i've had competitors who are 100 times my size for 25 years, so now here's one that's a thousand times my size, what

this is a man who made the call to go after osama bin laden. it was a bold decision, a bold decision with profound risks for our warriors as well as his presidency. but he made it and he made that decision on his own.

[ applause ] >> this is a man, this is a president who has a character of his convictions and almost during his entire time did the republican congress reach across the aisle to help. on the recovery act, which kept us from sliding further into a depression, only three republican senators and not one house member voted for it. on the affordable care act, no republican in the senate and none
