he went so far as to violate pakistan's sovereignty in order to kill osama bin laden.sident obama may not have favored the words "radical islam," but he significantly increased president george w. bush's drone attacks in the war against terror. and he never did close gitmo. the list could go on and on. obama didn't violate gun rights the way that conservatives feared. and he was the deportation president on immigration. by nate silver's measure, this political record made him a completely middle of the road democrat. the group estimated obama was actually the least liberal democratic president since 1945. now one can debate whether obama was a true centrist or whether he was a standard left of center democrat. but radical? he was not. and maybe this is what they mean when they say a picture is worth a thousand words. let's check in on your tweets and facebook comments. what do we have? smerconish, a picture of obama farrakhan. context, please. a picture of trump with russian spies in the oval office with no other americans present. patsy, i just gave you the context. t

for any response if it comes to protecting their own to create an infiltration by terrorists ok osama bin laden assemble thank you just seeing on the news wires here the president has been on the phone to that amir persian as well in russia of course an ally of the syrians and warned again the syrians will face consequences if they reach a deal with as he says kurdish militants that is coming through turkish. television the president on the line to vladimir putin in russia now before we move on and speak to our next guest want to show you another quick map to help understand the sort of weapon web of rivalries enough specifically here's a map as we go in the red areas. the kurdish y p g including those areas around after in that sort of green the blue area the fighters supported by turkey's it's much smaller area there in advancing though on a free and under what the call operation olive branch president assad's government controls all those areas to the south the ones in gray the syrian the wipe the syrian government weapons we have mostly avoided direct conflict we have to say that they have

know this area very well and they are putting up stiff resistance ok thank you for that update osama bin laden killing and. so as you can see and we said at the start of the show of syria's war goes on it's going into an eighth year now the most acute situation as we showed you before is what is happening near damascus in eastern and we're going to talk to thomas keller awful about this he is the middle east director of public affairs at the international rescue committee which has a medical operation on the ground in eastern so thank you for joining us from amman today give us whatever you can that that that everything you hear from the ground of what your teams are trying to do and everything they are encountering and he's in good at the moment as they are trying to help people. yes thank you it's very much as your initial report laid out it's a horrific assault right now worse than we have seen actually throughout this whole period of the siege where now you've already reported over three hundred deaths. we are supporting the international rescue committee is supporting five different healt

that same year, the soviets invade afghanistan and the mujahideen rose to power, allowing osama bin laden to become a force to be reckoned with. now, 39 years later, the threat landscape remains serious. my committee has been laser-focused on the threat of foreign fighters leaving the caliphate and identifying gaps in u.s. government information-sharing and vetting procedures. i established two task forces to address this issue, specifically. and we enacted, as frank mentioned, over 20 bills to make america more secure. john catco led that task for us. mike gallagher led it the 60 times. and we passed over 60 bills this congress, many of which are just sitting in the senate. these two recent terror attacks last year in new york, i believe, underscore the threat that we face from a determined enemy that does not sleep. our homeland, our allies, our partners, our friends, are confronted with this stark reality and it will be for many years to come. since 2013, we've had 150 home-grown jihadist terrorist cases in the united states, and 179 isis-linked incidents in europe. i would argue that

most famously the one that was placed upon osama bin laden. the bounties have led to the disruption of terrorist activities, but also the prosecution of terrorists like ramsy youcef, who was convicted in the 1993 bombing of the world trade center. our bill would bring the war crimes rewards program into conformity with that standard, by explicitly listing violations of u.s. law as a basis for issuing the reward. not just the conviction by an international tribunal. it would also allow the u.s. to work with our allies to issue joint rewards, another provision in the terrorism authorization that the human rights provision lacks. this bill would leave important safeguards already incorporated into the current program in place. these safeguards include the ineligibility of government officials, consultation with the attorney general, and congressional notification of the awards. finally, mr. speaker, national governments are sovereign and the u.s. government shouldn't be neglecting their proper role by offering this tool solely to tribunals. curre

parade could end up being a national security nightmare, coming up rob o'neil, the man who killed osama bin ladenat he call it is planned parade bs, he will make this case later in the hour, more varney after this. ashley: higher profit at home depot, the chain drew in more shoppers who spent more on average. good stuff. >> yes, wal-mart is dragging down the dow preearnings, look at home depot, up 7 and a half percent in fourth quarter of january. this is the sixth straight quarter that home depot beaten sales. basically housing starts at best in year or two years and home builders one year high in home building going out. this is an interesting story that's happening with homing -- home depot, it's about the economic growth and wages going up. >> it's also, we were talking about the amazon effect, the amazon effect, home depot has proven that they are immune -- ashley: lucky them. >> immune because of the way they service customers and the fact that a lot of what people buy at home depot does not translate very well to the internet. when i walk into home depot i generally don't know what i want.

had dismissed claims of al qaeda's responsibility as a hoax and said that he really believed osama bin laden'se if he saw the attacks primarily as a political embarrassment to be minimized rather than as a national security threat to be combatted. imagine if he threatened to fire the investigator trying to find out what happened. that's roughly where we stand after the second-worse foreign attack on america in the past two decades. the russian subrerversion of th 2016 election did not, to be sure, kill nearly 3,000 people, but its longer-term impact may be even more corrosive by undermining our faith in our democracy. and that's one of the clearest most concise assessments of what's happening now with this presidency that i've ever read. >> i personally think it was -- >> except your columns, of course. >> that was garbage, my three-year-old could have written that. i'm kidding, max, it was great. perfectly put. max i want to ask you after that garbled introduction by me what have you noticed over the past week? do you have more hope over the past week with the intel chief standing up and sayi
