everyone was really attracted to the osama bin laden osama bin laden rate but it wasn't actually very. we did 11 similar raids that night in afghanistan and the ability of special operators combining fusing intelligence collection and going after targets is exponentially and everyone you talk to in the special operations world will tell you this. i can go into some detail if you are interested about a case study that i studied carefully in the summer of 2002 the bush administration almost authorizes strike incur mall in northern iraq which was against al zarqawi which later became the head of the sunni terrorist groups in iraq. they almost went after him and it was a complete disaster. they had months to plan and they never had confidence in the capabilities and the risk associated in the mission. now conducting is similar raids would be fairly standard. the third capability is cybercapabilities and as we learned from one of the recent leaked edward snowden documents in 2011 the u.s. conducted 231 offense of cybercapabilities. these are beyond just stuxnet but the ability to disrupt a

policy was going to fail at the same time he lauds president obama saying the decision to go after osama bin laden in pakistan one of the most courageous things he had seen. >> these laws on biden had been used by republicans before, but is it surprising to hear it coming from robert gates? >> reporter: well, it sure is, and for a lot of reasons, gates has never seen as a partisan. he was a republican serving initially under republican administration. he was known as more low key obviously a very competent manager, a very competent secretary, obviously discrete considering the resumÉ he had as defense secretary and director of the c.i.a. also comes as a particular surprise, i must say because there are still american troops in combat and here gates just taking after congress. but goes after the civilian leadership while the american military is still in the field and still in combat. really extraordinary on any number of fronts and it really has dropped like a bombshell inside the beltway. >> mikmike viqueira for us. thank you. >>> new poll numbers of what voters think of the president. 41%

there is a different picture from two and a half years ago when osama bin laden was killed. the west was getting the upper hand over these organizations. very bad sign for iraq as we move into the 14th. 2013 was an extremely deadly and unstable year. years the deadliest since 2008. sayingunited nations is more than 1000 members of the security forces were killed in 2013. box,an see that last blue the highest level of violence in five years, approaching 2008 levels. below the height of the civil war, which was in 2006 and 7 -- and 2007. >> not long ago, the u.s. was claiming victory. in violence happens after 2006 and 2007. it happened in the same province were al qaeda now claims to be in control. what happens was that, at the the u.s. cooperated very closely with the iraqi authorities and with sunni to tryshakes -- sheiks to flush al qaeda out and deny them a safe haven. the u.s. has withdrawn. trust is broken down between the shiite led government in baghdad and the sunni tribesmen. >> and money has a lot to do with that. iraq were paying ks to keep theshei peace. woundiit

first, janet napolitano joins us on this gift to osama bin laden's suspected bodyguard jud judge, who says he has now been cleared for eventual transfer, he is eligible for transfer subject to inhumane conditions. what say you. >> the law is pretty clear, the constitution guarantees a fair process called due process to everybody affected by the government. the supreme court has ruled five times since 9/11 that the constitution applies since guantanamo bay. that means if the president wants to ensure they are there until time of trial, if they don't have enough evidence they have to let them go. we need to know what the evidence is, the context of doing this in secret and then reverse in secret smells of a political deal rather than a judicial decision. >> it is separate and apart from the nature of the proceedings, judge, in the first part you know there is a war going on, in war, generally we capture or kill. why isn't this guy just thanking his lucky stars that he was not killed and enjoy gitmo. that is what the critics argue, when you are actually trying to win a war, the goal is t

osama bin laden is dead, i think, but the rest isn't true. we have to state vigilance on al qaeda.tell you more concerning to me is what happens in afghanistan. if we start to pull out of afghanistan without having defeated al qaeda, what do you do? do we end up with another country that we spend billions of dollars and thousands of lives? >> how long are we going to stay in these warms? if we had troops on the ground this wouldn't happen. this war has been going on for ten years now. the american people have every right to be tired of it. look, you're not going to get american soldiers back there. iraqis were trained. we spent over a billion dollars to train them to fight their own battle. kerry is right. it's their own battle. anything we can do to help them, fine, short of committing american troops is the right thing to do. here's a place to use drones, i guess. but the idea that somehow this is an endless war between afghanistan and iraq is crazy. it's al qaeda in iraq. it is not the original structure that brought us 9/11. >> kimberly. >> new coke, old coke, same thing. the b

osama bin laden is dead and al-qaeda is on the run. and even recently when he sat down with "the new yorker" and asked about the splinter groups as off shoots, he describes them as jv. and now mr. clapper says the threat is as great as it ever was. >> the obama administration tried to define the meaning of terrorism less. al-qaeda has never been a government bureaucracy, they don't hang organizational charts on the cave walls in waziristan. it operates through affiliated groups. there is simply no question empirically, that the al-qaeda/terrorist groups have grown. so clapper is actually understating the seriousness, in my opinion. perhaps not as capable as the 9/11 attack here. but remember, they are in control where the radicals live. the attack on us was part of a broader strategy. >> when the president was talking about jv, he talked about whether or not there would be an attack on the homeland by the splinter groups. and clapper was talking about that, the homeland security, and said we couldn't tell if we were any safer now. do y

it was the old zarqawi organization that osama bin laden disliked.tion and it has taken advantage of an unfortunate vacuum in iraq because unfortunately president maliki i think makes an adequate efforts and some parts of this country but also in syria for obvious reasons. so the terror threat has changed but ranking member thompson is also correct that to defeat this threat we need more than kinetic force. playing waccamaw which we have done pretty well and which we should continue to do in some parts of the world using drones and other activities will it eliminate individuals but it won't defeat the threat. we really in and have to win the argument and that is why a whole of government approach is so important and that approach is embraced by our defense department by the way which has done some of this as a defense department by our state department, by public-private partnerships, by ngos and by many in this body and around the world and we need in addition to applying the strategies to project the american narrative and i think all of us agree o

champion the success of killing osama bin laden and many of its leaders, but the fact is, as we have testified, it is clearly on the rise. it is clearly a threat to us here in the home when. it is part of the plan. the al qaeda has always intended to take territory and gain control of people they bring foreign fighters to that scene. but is being played out and fuss part of our overall strategy, and we have severed the command-and-control of that strategy to a large degree. they did not maintain operational control because of the pressure we have put on them that is a good thing. does that answer your question, mr. chairman? okay. >> i think so. again, it al qaeda on the run, the war on terror, i've personally experienced with the state department and other agencies traveling overseas it attempts not to even use these words to change the vernacular. and i'm about as bipartisan as they come, but it concerns me that this language is taken out of the vernacular. >> i agree. listen, i had problems with the bush and administration in at educating the american people to what this movement

osama bin laden is dead, and now it's core al qaeda on a path to defeat. it's interesting, the semantics. i want to play a sound bite about syria and the concern they have over foreign fighters in syria. >> syria has become a huge magnet for extremists. we estimate at this point, in excess of 7,000 foreign fighters have been attracted from some 50 countries. many of them in europe and the mideast. we're seeing now the appearance of training complexes in syria to train people to go back to their countries and, of course, conduct more terrorist acts, so this is a huge concern to all of us. aspirationally, the front, to name one, does have aspirations for attacks on the homeland. >> now, whatever you call them, core al qaeda, al qaeda, make up another name, he's saying they're training those fighters to go back to europe and the u.s. for attacks on those places. >> well, there's no question, and whether you favor u.s. intervention militarily or an intelligence cupast in syria or not, it was always a myth that was just going to be a war where the regime forces

osama bin laden is in fact dead, i think, and al qaeda is actually not on the run.y're resurging throughout the middle east, not just in fallujah, iraq. we have to be kafrl how we state it. we have to be vigilant on al qaeda. more concerning to me is what happens in afghanistan. if we start to pull out of afghanistan, without having defeated al qaeda, what do you do? do we end up with another country we spend trillions of dollars and thousands of lives and having to divert back to al qaeda? >> how long are we going to stay in the wars. the implication is if we had troops on the ground, it wouldn't have happened? the war is going on for ten years now. american people have every right to be tired of it. you're not going to get american soldier s back there. we trained them to fight their own battles. kerry is right. it's their battle. anything we can do to help them, fine, short of committing troops is the right thing to do. here's a place to use drones, i guess, but the idea that somehow this is an endless war between afghanistan and iraq is crazy, and it's al qaeda

today al qaeda is on the run and osama bin laden is dead.feat and osama bin laden is dead. i kept that promise. >> the fact is that danger remains. what we've put al qaeda's core leadership on a path to defeat the threat evolved al qaeda affiliates and other extremists take root in other parts of the world. >> that is not the same message. >> the big difference is that al qaeda is resurging in an an american ambassador is dead. most quotes you were showing is, i believe before benghazi. that is during the lead up when he was campaigning on the fact he had put al qaeda n ot run and on the path to defeat, then, benghazi happened and all of a sudden he can't say that anymore. because the terrorists are still trying to attack us his solution is to close guantanamo bay. >> mark good, to see you. >> thank you. >> you know they say highest form of flattery is imitation. >> i guess so. >> see you soon. >> thank you. >> president obama had some of the biggest applause when saluting one soldier at this speech. up next an iraq vet said there was anothe

one of them is this man, a body guard for osama bin laden, taking part in military training. he has been in prison at guantanamo bay for 10 years. on thursday a panel agreed to release him, saying he was no longer a threat to the u.s. he's eligible for transfer to git mow if a country will accept him. it's the first in a series of review hearings in an effort to speed up closing the bring. five years after promising to close git mow president gamma signed a provision to make it easier to transfer detainees to other countries. a lopping process. in the meantime even the former chief prosecutor at git know says the reputation is suffering. >> guantanamo has been a plaque eye for us, with our allies and adversaries. >> critics say detainees are likely to turn to terrorism. and releasing them makes them look week. >> guantanamo sits on land leased from the u.s. by cuba under a 1934 treaty. virginia's government took the oath in the capital office. bill clinton and former secret i state hillary clinton were present. the expansion of medicade mass a primary goal. >> dozens of touri

knew that guy. >> you know what we know more about, is if we had more of the documents from the osama binaid that lay out, allegedly, the connection between al qaeda core and those affiliate groups, but we don't have those. >> that's true. >> jonah? >> i think the reason why some people are focusing on the affiliated/al qaeda stuff is that the narrative that came out of the white house, and out of the state department for a long time, was that this was a spontaneous movie review from a bunch of jihadists and it had nothing to do with terrorism whatsoever. we know that that's not true, so the fact they're related to al qaeda, why that's relevant is it shows this is a terrorist attack, which the president denied in a presidential campaign, and it was something serious that could have been prevented. i don't think it's whether we care if they had membership cards or not. i agree with steve to a certain extent that this is a much tougher report than i would have expected. it's by no means -- i don't want to say it's a white wash, but it's a very political document. it's an amazing thing to ha

about the realities of war, and he admitted that he at first was opposed to the raid that lead to osama binaden's death in may 2011. >> former secretary gates is above the fray. first of all he knows he'll never serve in washington again. he sifshed honorably for a number of administrations on both sides of the isle. maybe who investigated robert gates before he was selected for these jobs knew what they were getting. >> reporter: he called biden one of obama's closest advisors, but given that gates is almost 70 years old and officially retired, it is possible he doesn't care what anyone thinks. rosiland jordan, al jazeera, washington. >>> our white house correspondent mike viqueira is in washington. mike what is the latest response from the white house. >> well, you heard rosiland jordan say it appears that gates is about settling scores, we might add he was a cia chief under bush 41. so a long time grinder, known as a team player, and all of that just being smashed. settling scores, or utter rage, and scorn for not only what happens in washington as a whole, but for congress, describing h

the highlight, of course, for the president was the capture and killing of osama bin laden, however, crisis that sparked the most volatile week for financial markets since the 2008 financial crisis and the president hit his lowest poll numbers at any point in time. number three on our list, 2010. mixed bag, president obama signed his signature health care reform legislation and dodd-frank wall street reform and consumer protection act. very productive year, however, of course, his party lost a record amount of seats in the house, almost lost control of the senate. doesn't make it into the top two. top two, we're starting to get to the positive side of thing, 2012. it is hard not to call winning re-election a success. what year at that point, he may not have gotten a lot done, but think about it, after winning re-election he also fulfilled four years later his promise on the bush tax cut. what was the most successful year, easy call, 2009, his most productive year on the books. the affordable care act was passed in the senate, a stimulus package, also a focus on foreign policy, we had

he admitted that he at first was opposed to the raid, leading to osama bin laden's death in to 11.ome observers say his frankness should not be a surprise. >> former secretary gates is about the fray. he knows he will never serve in washington. everyone that selected bob gates knew what they were getting. joe biden called gates one of obama administration's closest advisors. it is possible that he doesn't care what anyone thinks. even a president whose intel ect and judgment, gates says he demirs. >> security forces are on high alert in egypt as the trial against their first democratically elected president mohamed morsi began an hour ago. mohamed morsi and 14 others of the muslim brotherhood are accused of inciting the killing of protesters. egypt's interim government classified the muslim brotherhood as a terrorist group. >> with play-off football in full swings, it's a season for chips and dips. kraft food is warning of a cheese shortage. the product is flying off the shelves. some stores are reporting no shipments until february. kraft is not giving a reason, suggesting that th

. >> the killing of osama bin laden as being, a come back is hard to perceive, however we see a resurgence of al qaeda and affiliated groups. and on facebook, aisha says this new group is undefined, a lot more dangerous to peace everywhere. they don't have national ties anymore. and ayman al sawihiri, u.s. createa monsters, they have all heard it. social media's role very topic topical. syrian electronic army which is loyal to the assad regime. three years al qaeda has been destroying the syrian state and so forth. this is very topical, very relevant. >> i think created a monster, i'm sure a lot of people are asking how, and we'll get into that. with bin laden dead and its top ranks on the run, president obama says al qaeda' al qaeda'ss been decimated. said the organization was on the path to defeat but many analysts are highlighting a resurgence of al qaeda. some note that the organization is in more places than ever before, particularly syria and iraq. does it still constitute a serious threat to u.s. national security? david gurstei nrveg ross, and brian jenkins, sr. advisor to the rand

he was wrong about osama bin laden which according to what i read he does admit in the book that he didn'tto go in and get him. >> i think that if gates wants to come forward and start analyzing everybody else's record he is going to get a lot of that. one of the most peculiar, bizarre criticisms apparently in the president is the president had misgivings about the war in afghanistan. surprise. the vast majority of the american people shared those misgivings. the fact the president was in touch with the feelings of most americanst that this war was not in our interest anymore, why he was elected. do you think it is a fair criticism of president obama that he is getting us out of these land wars? >> well, i suspect president obama wasn't terribly in favor of the afghan war in 2008. the issue is his constancy. i am very much in favor of the iraq war and afghan war, so was hillary clinton and most democrats in the senate. i think the president has been a little jaden spaced. i think it is hard to look at the record and not have very strong suspicions that the president chose this dichotomy be

in the saudis were sharing the cost to fund the war in afghanistan against the soviets and osama bin laden was a key figure in that and so he was dealing directly was part of the essential part of the saudi royal entourage he he later broke with them to some degree but the saudi the saudis have through their intelligence services have continued to help some of these very radical elements especially in syria they've been and they've been behind a lot of what's happening there in terms of the most extreme elements seizing parts of syria and carrying on this war against the assad regime as the most effective elements of the rebellion so the saudis are playing a very dangerous game and until they are convinced that this is not in the interests of the region or themselves it's hard to see how this gets back under control and there are other players who are with the saudis as well are they're not right with some of the current goals. and the israelis have been supporting this they both in terms. both politics and in terms of their shared strategic vision the former of the former u.s. ambas

at the end of our time in the situation room we know osama bin laden has been killed, he is back in july abide, he is on his way to a watery grave and we are about to break up as the president is going upstairs to address the nation and tell them about this extraordinary success and i said look, before everybody goes, we used these tactics and techniques every night in afghanistan in going after taliban and al qaeda leaders so it is important that everybody agreed that all we are going to say is that we killed him. and not get into any details about the operation and how we did it. and as you say i right in the book that lasted about 5 hours. everybody agreed after i made this little pitch everybody agreed like little kids, did our think, we wouldn't do this and it lasted about 5 hours. i believe the leaks primarily came from the white house and cia who just couldn't wait to brag about how good this had been. and then i think about two weeks later defense probably started judge i-man. >> host: but you right there was a significant operational downside to doing that because -- the raids a

i met osama bin laden. i met bigger than them also. afghans are worried about the lack of jobs, corruption, insecurity. what will happen when foreign troops leave. many of the choices facing them as presidential candidates are stuck in the politics of the past. these men areing great at, defeating the russians, and should be respected for it. others think they should go to jail for war crimes. whos not only the taliban wants control over women in afghanistan. i asked if women should live independent lives as in the west. men,s long as there are those rights are not given to the women. work infor the women to the areas that are proper for them tot we don't allow go to the engineering. them we don't want women at the top of the mountain. fall ofars after the the taliban, democracy still has shallow roots. you are watching "bbc world news america." come, hundreds of thousands to sending on new york city for the super bowl. authorities warned that the big game could be a magnet for sex traffickers. today marks ben bernanke's last day in of
