in terms of reaction, in was no reaction when osama bin ladin was killed. we're four months after bin ladin's death. the idea that we should get hysterically worried about awlaki's death -- the fbi and dhs have put out a statement. >> it's a little cya, right? >> part of due diligence. does it mean something is imminent? of course not. >> fran, when you look at it, it just seems to me that this man's basic tool, al awlaki's basic tool is the internet. he's still alive on the internet. what do we really have here? >> that's right, candy. and he has these tapes, these millions of tapes especially in the u.k. -- >> that sell well. >> and they'll sell better now. i think he had become more than just that, more than a charismatic figure. he had become a leader, which led to his targeting. he not only inspired and encouraged nadal hassan, but he also had the christmas day bomb he and the cargo plane attempted bombing. >> who at least drew inspiration, at the very least? >> what authorities are saying, he was recruiting them, organizing these plots, he had become t

it could've reacted very differently it could've tried to capture osama bin ladin at that time that wasn't the priority it declared a war on terror which what does that mean a war on a tactic which is a very stupid thing but it did provide cover for basically a new global vision which was to project american power american imperial power around the world and create a culture that precisely legitimized war on anyone and i think as well as the issues that came up in your your package was played earlier one of the things that is happening now in the west is that war is just accepted as normal after the horrors of the second world war in vietnam even though the nations went to war only when there was a very very serious reason now it appears that western politicians quite loudly go to war and the domestic audiences seem to accept that because they are told about this very general threat to their lives and to everything we find important to us because of the war on terror well looking at what washington actually did i mean the methods were in some way successful you said earlier they could have

i have to say about the president going to judd speech this year and of course that's because osama bin ladin was killed in a so last year there was no reference to that but nonetheless as you said it was a little bit something of a ground hog's a little bit of a groundhog day now speaking of groundhog day you got down with ahmadinejad again this year i believe this is the third time that you've sat down for a one on one with and you guys again pretty tight there. but what did you hear that you haven't heard before it was worthwhile one on one. you know lauren a lot was very similar president ahmadinejad comes and brings the same message every year he even admitted to that but the one thing that was slightly different was the fact that at the previous interviews he was so he always seemed to be waiting for change and hope that he said u.s. president barack obama was promising as he was running for president and when he stepped into office and he said now that we're nearly three years into the presidency of barack obama and after listening to barack obama speak at the general assembly yesterda

and i'm sure he took note of her osama bin ladin was corruption and i'm sure he took an order of saddam hussein was captured and i'm sure he's avoiding those mistakes but he will make a new slew. of chinese prime ministers warn you that it must tackle its economic problems it comes just days after a time when officials reportedly attempted to convince the chinese delegations of by italy's debts finances learn from investments company linseed holdings ltd please europe should we just hope for china to come to the rescue. yes precisely seeing is europe's problem speech sought by europeans alone don't think love china last. last resort. in china and they're right europe's. politicians have. their budget deficits by charging your future so no. you can't charge them in two thousand and eleven is a year five of the catcher. several european countries like greece and italy so they got to put their houses in order they have to spend. a half but not spend more again they have. all this guns that needs pushing a highly unpopular cage a series of tax hikes and spending cuts designed to say seventy

assassination of osama bin laden and that continuity you say between george w. bush and barack obama. the killing of osama bin ladin is an interesting case it was done. in such a way as to infuriate the pakistanis which is extremely dangerous that's the most dangerous country in the world and go into it but you have a professional army committed to the sovereignty of pakistan pakistanis were already overwhelmingly the american this shoots through the stratosphere the army is bitterly angry not only at the invasion of the country and the murder of someone on their soil but also that they're being pressured forced to take part in an american war in afghanistan some of the conservative military have a list soon wrote about the bin ladin assess nation i quoted some of them pointed out quite accurately that there's a shift between bush's policies and obama's and this bush bush policy was to kidnap people. whatever you thought about them. take them to guantanamo or bob graham or some other torture chamber and try to extract some information out of them we know what it was like to describe it obama's policy is just to kil

assassination of osama bin ladin and that continuity you say between george w. bush and barack obama. killing us on that wasn't an interesting place it was done in such a way as to in europe pakistan which is extremely dangerous and it's the most dangerous country in the world on the border but when you have a professional army and committed to the sar including of pakistan pakistanis were already overwhelmingly at the american this front kind of the stratosphere. the army was bitterly behind a great army at the invasion of a country on the order of someone that worked so well but also that they were being . pressured or forced to take part in an american war in afghanistan some of the conservative military on the list sort of wrote about them in the us as a nation and i quoted some of them pointed out quite rightly put up with a shift in tweaking the bush is part of what he was and obama doesn't want us to push bush's proposal was to kidnap people. what everybody thought about them. i put them to one phone about over about a gram or some of the pork from foreve

reach has been found stopped and defeated washington's military reach began with the hunt for osama bin ladin america strikes back afghanistan is home to put bombs and missiles from the air in the sea then a preemptive pounding into iraq. in the decade that followed america's fight for freedom has been stained by torture secret detention and rendition human rights violations symbolized by landmarks like one tom obey grave and the bob graham airbase prison we had garnered the empathy not only of the world but the muslim world and if we had the courage to be vulnerable we would be far safer and more secure than we are today instead we drank deep from that very dark licks are of nationalism journalist an offer chris hedges says america's terror unleashed throughout the middle east has opened a pandora's box of evil estimates are over a million iraqi dead since the invasion. you know hundreds and hundreds of civilians killed in pakistan thousands killed in afghanistan not to mention millions of people displaced in the refugee camps and the terror that we have unleashed will not go on paid it is a

generation of young muslims around the world to fight in the jihad i think you'll remember sir that osama bin ladin his generation the generation of iman's are we here and of others was galvanized into a belief that islam could prevail by their success in driving the red army out of afghanistan. when the united states and its allies leave afghanistan the governments in the west and in washington will dress up. the retreat to surrender as if it were some kind of success but in the muslim world it will be seen for what it is which is the united states leaving afghanistan without accomplishing any of the goals it set out to accomplish and in fact it will be leaving in defeat and just as the soviet withdrawal galvanized the muslim what the young muslim world in one thousand nine hundred nine the american defeat in afghanistan will galvanize this generation of muslims when we leave in two thousand and twelve or twenty fourteen or whatever date we do leave well then what about the war in iraq was it a mistake to from your point of view i mean i mean did it do good for the anti terror war. no it was a com

to respond to their primary justification for the war being achieved which was the killing of osama bin ladin that has lent credence to the taliban argument with the local people that the united states has its own purposes in afghanistan that has given the taliban even more recruitment abilities be able to say that what's happening is the united states is occupying afghanistan my prediction is if united states doesn't change course they're going to see continued slide instability in the country kind of rise of local instability and local power brokers who are going to further destabilize the country we're actually generating a situation in afghanistan right now that was much like the situation that led to the political rise of the taliban so unless the united states gets serious about political negotiations with the leaders of the taliban we're not going to see an improvement a situation there while the fact that such a bold attack was even possible highlights nato's inability to when the hearts and minds of khalid abdalla pass pakistani lobbyist half met. this is no longer about just old and

he's a north that's managed to survive for forty five years and i'm sure he took note of how osama bin ladin was captured and i'm sure he took note of how saddam hussein was captured and i'm sure he's avoiding those mistakes but he will make a new mistook. a full interview with steven rambam is coming up in around fifteen minutes time. so the u.s. and remaining have sealed a deal under which america would station its much debated interceptor missiles in eastern europe under the agreement the us will build a network of military facilities in the country over the next four years but this is only the first stage of a plan with more bases to be set up around europe the stated intent of the program is to the fan you are up against attacks from rogue states such as iran and north korea but according to pierre gill and professor at paris west university the fact that there is no real threat to america or its allies puts a question mark over just who the shield is aimed at. i don't think it's really a military necessity no one really believed to do was a possibility iran europe its besides did not r

different to the whole axis of evil thing which was a lot easier for example how they killed osama bin ladin you don't see that as anything gained no i think i think if it was again it would be trying to develop a relationship of mutual respect and friendship with the rest of the world but what we're saying seeing now with libya and syria and other countries to follow is the progressing on this war path by slightly different media propaganda that means ok let's talk about that the invasion of iraq is continuing and that it was never cited by the u.n. i may have turned out that there were no weapons of mass destruction essentially under false pretenses there a sense that someone should bear responsibility for the war i mean that cost thousands of lives here. absolutely this is this the onus is on the global self to hold and pie and the west accountable the attack on iraq like the attack on libya is an attack on the forward positions of the global south so the responsibility is on the global south to defend itself and in so doing and i'm a little friend of the global south we failed in that ch

american soil and the spark that ignited the war against al qaida but despite the killing of osama bin ladin the scars of the bigger will remain to this day is already half of us found out who she spoke to the people of new york. i take it after the horrible nine eleven terrorist attacks on the us how is the world change this week let's talk about that there were i would say more dangerous but it's more like our tick saw things are predictable you know what what's going to happen next to life is much intense i think so no. every day can can be the last and you think people around the world feel this way. i think in europe in america i think so i don't know you kind of more aware of a threat just more on the lookout do you think that people around the world still keep that a chill and ten years later probably not as much as we did five years ago do you think that the amount of lives lost in the name of the war on terror has been worth feeling safer i think it's a difficult thing the common answer be honest i have a lot of friends that have fought over there and i would say it's hard every tim

evidence of the success of the bleed until bankruptcy plan with all its permission this is what osama bin ladin said his goal he also said that every dollar of al qaeda defeated a million dollars by the regime of allah the sight despite the large loss of a huge number of jobs besides the other words what bush did is what bin laden did and for ten years now america has become a different nation we need to wake up from that and go back to the noble nation that we once were. it's time for a daily poll your chance to tell us what you think here's today's question ten years later can you name anything important and good that came out of nine eleven your choices are yes they've posted this good thing as a comment or no i've posted while i'm disappointed that it's on arbonne dot com to vote and leave a comment about what you see as a positive legacy of nine eleven or why you're disappointed by how we as a country have dealt with that tragedy the hole will be open until frome. just. the. time of the good the bad of the very very screwed to the sport of vividly ugly who could argue desmond tutu and the

might not be able to grow jobs or the economy but it sure can harvest muslim fears so with osama bin ladin out of the way and the u.s. military spending higher than ever who's afraid of the big bad muslim bogeyman and immigration detention facilities can be cold as ice especially when it comes to making money that's because the more illegal immigrants they lock up the more green they have lining their pockets and lawmakers across the country to come up with new work tougher anti immigration bills so that they can keep their prisons full so we'll speak up for the people who have no voices these are just a few of the stories that we have on tap for you next week along with more news and in-depth interviews so stay tuned but for now that is going to do it for more on the stories that we covered go to our c dot com slash usa also check out our you tube page you tube dot com slash r t america you should also follow me on twitter at franzi want to thank you so much for watching lots to talk about hope you have a great weekend and christine president. what drives the world the fear mongering used

criticize nato very much so and and in addition to that he also brought up the assassination of osama bin ladin and asked a lie is a legit perpetrator of this that toxin was murdered and thrown into the sea and sort of brought to justice so there was a lot of things that were said even after so many delegations did walk out that are interesting and worth listening to right now you thought. you had his ear and had it you know very explicitly what did you hear that but that you felt really stood out. but what i thought was interesting was when i spoke with the iranian president on on wednesday yesterday and i asked him what he's planning to say to the international community and said the same message i say every year and i said well how is it that you know if you say the same message every year and the united states continues on its path and and it's fair to point how will there ever be a reconciliation between the u.s. and iran because u.s. president barack obama spoke to the international community yesterday he said in iran we have seen a government that refuses to recognize the rights of its o

muslims are terrorists or terrorists or muslims and without the rise of american islamophobia so if osama bin ladin is out of the way and the u.s. military spending more than ever closer for either of the big bad muslim man. it's tuesday september thirteenth seven pm in washington d.c. i'm christine retching r.t. well the sixty sixth session of the u.n. general assembly may have officially kicked off today but all eyes are focused on next week and the prospect of a real diplomatic crisis over the palestinian bid for statehood is expected to steal the show so we thought i would be good to talk about what we can expect next week what and who will dominate the headlines of course r.t. will be on the ground with exclusive coverage of the news that shaking up the world as well as those stories that will remain underneath the mainstream media radar but for a quick preview i'm joined by r.t. senior producer lucy cash and our viewer in studio you know lucy i want to talk a lot about some of the different aspects of this we cover this every year but this year looks like some actual news could come out of it

wasn't all that long ago that washington was criticizing al jazeera for things such as running osama bin ladin videos but the white house has certainly changed its tune now the white house praising the network after their coverage of the arab spring and after allegations of a cozy relationship we've even seen a surprise resignation from al-jazeera chief our chief correspondent and he said now we've looked into why. right now al jazeera english is seen through million american cable households al-jazeera or the island is not in isolation anymore the channels in your face coverage of the violent turmoil of the middle east and libya's emerging civil war has grounded cousy prime time slot with the u.s. and recent week uniques claim how dizzy or is now resigned director general had ties to the cia but the detail is. the u.s. government has been monitoring. the putting michelle and. well he went to the web. and the. inappropriate. or simply that he didn't like. what he was. stepping into the open seat a member of the royal family fueling fears joe months voice will get him out or the arabic service

establishment if you come under fire true like congressman ron paul who is running for president osama bin ladin and i am tired i have been missing. they have been explicit and they wrote. that we are can act we attacked america because you had bases on our holy land in saudi arabia you do not give palestinians a fair treatment and you have been bombing. i didn't say that i'm trying to get you through i understand what the motive was behind the bombing at the same time we have been bombing and killing hundreds of thousands of iraqis here near would you be annoyed if you're not annoyed by who got in there some problem booed and labeled on patriotic by some just like tony bennett was when he spoke his mind it's not so much about what these people say that led to them being booed or even being fired from their jobs but rather about the fact that in a country that prides itself on freedom of speech that freedom often comes at a hefty price i'm going to check out reporting from washington our to. of course if your tongue is a little too loose you might sometimes end up mincing your words as president

we're marking what has indeed been a remarkable year osama bin ladin has gone that mubarak out of power. we're counting so many changes in the world what did you make of the speech was it effective well i thought it was three different speeches the first was a statement that things are going very well in the world. i think you and right now president obama and israeli leader benjamin netanyahu with their schedule to discuss palestinian statehood and how to stop it. but but what about the fact of the president said that the tide of war is receding now in the case of iraq and afghanistan in particular yes we will be drawing down our numbers of troops out of the one hundred thousand there in afghanistan at the moment there's only going to be an easily seventy thousand left by the end of next summer and despite the fact that all of our troops are supposed to be out of iraq at the end of this year only three thousand are now going to be spain but just because the number of our troops is going to be here i wouldn't exactly go as far as saying of the tide of war is receding especially not when

looking back it was shortly after the height of the arab spring just weeks after the killing of osama bin ladin and in the midst of the u.s. involvement in the war in libya but the speech was also a day before his meeting with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu we believe the borders of israel and palestine should be based on the nine hundred sixty seven lines with mutually agreed swaps. so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states so you remain remember that comments drew sharp criticism from many u.s. lawmakers pro israel supporters and of course the prime minister of israel himself has a yahoo responded immediately by saying if israel did return to the pre nine hundred sixty seven borders it would be left quote indefensible but fast forward to today and the u.s. and israel seem to be back on the same page as president obama at least at this point abandoning the notion that this would be the year that there would in fact be a new member of the united nations an independent sovereign state of palestine kalen pointed out some of what's behind those changes in her

respond to their primary just for cation for the war being achieved which was the killing of osama bin ladin that has lent credence to the taliban argument with the local people that the united states has its own purposes in afghanistan that that don't match their publicly stated purposes in afghanistan the justification the united states use for launching the war in afghanistan in the first place was to get osama bin laden and they targeted the taliban because that taliban were shielding him and that they were turning him over but now that he's dead in the united states and didn't immediately respond by saying we're going to begin withdrawing troops that has given the taliban even more recruitment abilities to be able to say that what's happening here is the united states is occupying afghanistan the conflation between afghanistan sorry the taliban and osama bin laden was always the wrong thing to do from a military perspective first place by not withdrawing troops the encouragement of the given to the insurgency is that they have this ability to continue to recruit people against a foreign
