we were seeing what was going on overseas, terrorists like osama bin laden in afghanistan were doing all these things and we couldn't pass that information on to our authorities here in america. we had this firewall that prevented us from connecting the dots. that was the big phrased we he used back then in the early 2000's. you pass the amash amendment, you bring that firewall right back up. you pass the amash amendment and defeat this underlying bill, we go back to those days when we are flying blind on protecting our country from terrorism. let me give you an example. this program has not only stopped many attacks, let me tell you about one. a plot in 2009 to blow up new york's subway system. this was used to understand what people were planning overseas and what they were trying to do here in america so we can connect the dots and stop that particular terrorist attack. that is why this has to be renewed. that is why among many other reasons why 702, a program designed to go after foreign terrorists on foreign soil is so essential. if this amash amendment passes, it kills the prog

president obama was never accused of cuddling up to an enemy of the country like osama bin laden. president obama had osama bin laden killed. john kennedy was never accused of cuddling up to castro. he confronted castro. we have a situation now where the president of the united states wants protection, rather than try to protect us. and can't make a distinction in his mind between the situation he's in and any other president. we've never had a president accused of this kind of stuff. which is why it doesn't make sense that the attorney general will save him from it. >> i think eric holder was a great watchdog for president obama, he -- >> what was obama accused of? >> he was the only attorney general in history, to get accused of contempt of congress. in fact the only cabinet member, he held the line on things like fast and furious. >> let's not relitigate the obama hearings. >> let me say this, if the administration, if the president was looking for something on james comey, the easiest place to look would have been on harry reid's letter, where he accused him of violating the ha

al qaeda, particularly in pakistan and we decapitated their leadership particularly with the osama bin laden rate and we did a good job and interrupted a lot of their planning for attacks as a result, but the reality is al qaeda developed in yemen, isis developed etc. and you have to continue the effort in these other areas, you have got to be able to target the different forms of terrorism that are developing. i think the obama administration in the last few years began to recognize they couldn't just ignore what was happening and counterterrorism capabilities began to be established not only in yemen but north africa and other places to try to make sure they take on what happened here but the reality is if you don't stick to it, if you suddenly declare victory which nobody should do when it comes to terrorism, you commit yourself to going after each of these elements, as different as they are, that is the only way we are going to be able to win at terrorism. it is going to take a long time. it is not going to happen overnight. we learned there have been mistakes made, we learned a lot from

president obama was never accused of cuddling up to an enemy of the country like osama bin laden. president obama had osama bin laden killed. john kennedy was never accused of cuddling up to castro. he confronted castro. the problem is you have a president that's not confronting our enemy in russia, but seems to be trying to cuddle up to them, through the campaign and after, which is why he's under investigation. so we have a situation now where the president of the united states wants protection, rather than trying to protect us, and is -- can't make a distinction in his mind between the situation he's in and any other president. we've never had a president accused of this kind of stuff, which is why it doesn't make a lot of sense for him to be hoping that the attorney general will save him from it. >> congressman? >> let me say this. as a republican, i think eric holder was a great watchdog for president obama. >> what was obama accused of that -- >> let me just say, he was the only attorney general in history to get accused of contempt of congress. in fact, the only cabinet memb

they became, one of the men, helped them in the house, osama bin laden and this became the house waslled the base. al qaeda means the base. what we today call al qaeda. they both came out of that cauldron if you will of afghanistan. another man who was there was the man who beheaded nick berg. and he came -- made his way back carrying his jihad with him which he wanted to bring to jordan where in 2002 he killed an american diplomat in the us invasion in iraq. he went into iraq to create al qaeda there. one of the men who worked for him in this group of mujahedin they called themselves was the name he chose to use, our baghdadi, the founder of isis. it is what started in 1973 is now added point where they are all almost the same. there is no distinguishing -- >> the children of al qaeda. >> children or stepchildren of al qaeda. the taliban, when i was in captivity, i had to listen to hours and hours of taliban suicide tapes and in those recruitment tapes they would talk about a chance, a hunting vienna boys choir, a chance about afghan poetry, afghan, past tune, two main ethnic groups

i'm sorry on osama bin laden's son.ho is conveniently enough and been shielded by the pakistanis and iranians. neil: is that so? >> oh, yeah,. neil: so he's of age and angry. >> 28, i think. 29, something like that. well, i mean, his brother was khalid was angry on the stairs and that didn't last very long. it didn't turn out too long for khalid, muhammad. neil: do you think the same of that? >> and he also knows that we have people, men and women in our intelligence services when we find him, he'll get the same fate. regardless if it's a nighttime raid like we did or a drone strike or whatever it is. neil: there's always the helicopter crowd that has come out since you killed osama bin laden that he's not really dead that he was never thrown into sea. >> of course. well, i mean, we have the pictures. part of me now -- well, i don't really care it's hard to be in a position where one person saw something happened. neil: i don't think pictures are going to come out. >> they will. and they're graphic. neil: war all over a

and osama bin laden and other people like that have made explicit statements saying this is what they're trying to do. so whenever they do something that's spectacular, and then whenever somebody on our side says, this is just like the tet offensive, we're really playing into their hands. so part of what i wanted to do in this project was get people to stop doing that. because it doesn't help us, number one, and number two, it's not really true when people compare things to the tet offensive. most of the time, it has nothing to do with the tet offensive. now what most educated people know about tet, and what you see in most history books, is that it was a surprise attack by the north vietnamese and vietcong against largely symbolic targets in vietnam intended to turn the american people against the war and drive lyndon johnson to the bargaining table. and of those four things, i found out that none of them are true. so let me just go down some of those with respect to the tet myth, for example, that it was a surprise attack. it certainly took a lot of people by surprise when it happened,

as i said if we killed osama bin laden in november or december 2001 we would be out of there. so i see this much more as a quagmire, and it's in place we're stuck politically. it's going to be very difficult to get out. quite frankly, the islamic threat has been worldwide right now. afghanistan is not going to be the reading place. the point is, if you go in you want to win. the question of how to define victory. it should've been a more stable country with some symbols of the rule of law, nothing more than that and we've not been able to achieve that and quite. i don't see how it's going to be achievable for the next god knows how many more years. >> i got far too many questions. i'm only going to be able to take three more. one there, there and here. i apologize. if the questions kemalists fast i i might be able to get to a fourth. we will wait and go back to you for a final round. >> thank you very much for this terrific book. i haven't had the chance to read it but i say as americans we tend to be a bit smug and i think your shot a big hole in that smugness. my question is

in 1997, very few people had heard of osama bin laden. and harry potter was also an unknown name. at the time, computer programs were yet to seriously threaten human jobs. in 1997, google was yet to be launched in cyberspace. and in 1997, if you had done a search on the internet for the word amazon, most of the results would have been about a river or a thick jungle. at that time, tweeting was done only by birds, not by human beings. that was the last century and now some two decades later, we live in a world, we live in a society that is a networked of many complex networks. at that time, diverse was ahead of the curve -- davos was ahead of the curve and this meeting was at indicator of the future. today, it's much ahead of the time. this year, the theme is creating a shared future and a fractured world. this means, in a world full of shared shifts, the balance between economic inability and political power is changing a great speed. because of this, we can see and foresee far-reaching changes in the nature of this world. with respect to peace, stability, and security. the world

if osama bin laden had been tilled in tora bora -- killed in tora bora in november as he should have been be it had not been because of the incompetence of a certain general who i will not name, it would have been over. there was a brigadier by the name of jim mattis, you may have heard that name, with a then-navy captain seal named steve harwood. no, bob harwood, who had a plan based on how geronimo was run down by the army in 1867 in the sierra madre to capture bin laden. the finest altitude fighting force in the world, by the way, is the u.s. marine corps who trained at fort drum at 600 feet. so if we had gotten bin laden then, it would have been over. once we went in, the taliban were toppled, we were focused on iraq, iraq, iraq, and afghanistan was a secondary war. regardless of who started it, we used afghanistan as a pretext to change the geostrategic landscape of the middle east. regarding shock and awe, unfortunately, it has a bad name because it not necessarily a military instrument. this is out of sun tzu, and it pays -- pains me to say who is the best example of shock and

whether it's deciding to pull the trigger on an operation to get osama bin laden, when president obama did at great risk, or decision to go to war or using weaponry, a decision to invade. that i why questions of emotional fitness and erraticness become so important. given the fact you wouldn't have a ink which cal take on this, because the privacy concerns outweight -- he doesn't have to disclose anything he doesn't want to, but i think it's -- ron, correct me if i'm wrong, you're doing the president a bit of favor masse this about mental illness and capacity. you're creating a standard you almost will not trigger the 25th amendment and you wind up overshadowing what is so apparent, which is this failure to surrender the me to the we, the obsessiveness of taking care of himself. the tweet path is the only thing you need to follow. only two out of last 10 to 13 deal with caring for the people he swore to help. >> everything for people to assess is in front of the curtain, not behind. the way he does the job and even his intellectual curiosity as well, as opposed to his i.q. is the centr
