the remnant of al qaeda central are basically positioned between afghanistan and pakistan. the u.s. t success in breaking the backbone of al qaeda central there both afghanistan and pakistan. most of the damage that the united states has been able to achieve is basically by relentlessly attacking al qaeda central lieutenants in both afghanistan and pakistan even though a nerve center. the most dangerous theaters now are no longer -- i know this might come to you as a surprise. it's now yemen where al qaeda in the arabian peninsula and other branch of al qaeda in iraq and syria libya now, the so-called islamic state or isis has a this ises where the fight is now. yemen, iraq syria somalia and to a lesser extent now libya. so the reality is the complexity of the fight, the struggle itself, because you have so many raging fires and you have civil wars and, again, al qaeda and its supporters basically are nourished in conflict zones where basically civil wars and sectarian struggles and social and political struggles tend to unfold. >>> professor, i want to with your permission read the

and our disengagement, as i indicated earlier, from afghanistan and indeed from pakistan after the soviet defeat is instructive. we can look at iraq for a parallel, but we find the example right there in afghanistan decades earlier. and as zal and ron have said, this is in our national interest. but there's something else too. and the argument i think for moving from a calendar-based timetable to a conditions-based timetable where i've long argued we've needed to have been in iraq and certainly need to be in afghanistan, this is the intersection of american interests and american values. and we i think are unique after major states as a nation founded on values, interweaving them with our policies. it is very, very difficult at times, as we all know. and we're seeing some of that of course today around the world. iran cited the newest greatest generation in afghanistan. the afghans who have come of age post-taliban exemplified by the graduates of the american university of afghanistan. they are like no other generation afghanistan has ever produced. open to the world. plugged in. wired up

drone strikes along the afghanistan-pakistan border. cnn's chief congressional correspondent dana bash is on capitol hill with senator john mccain, who's been very vocal on the u.s. drone program. dana it will be interesting to hear what he has to say. >> that's right. thank you so much jim. you're the chairman of the armed services committee. you obviously are very well versed in the drone policy. given what happened should the drone policy be revisited? >> i think what happened should be revisited, obviously, because a terrible thing happened when two innocent people were killed one american one italian. so the whole process has to be revisited and reviewed. but to do away with the drone program, of course would deprive us of an enormously important tool that we use to take out the leaders of these terrorist organizations. >> given the fact that it seems as though our intelligence clearly failed us this time -- >> yes. >> the u.s. intelligence didn't detect there were two american civilians. >> yes. and so what went wrong? why didn't

i cannot deploy troops on someone in afghanistan and pakistan.o that point, sir. as we know we have killed lots of al qaeda leaders via drone strikes. we have cost ourselves a lot of anti-american sentiment that we have galvanized throughout the middle east. so is it worth it? >> well i think, first of all, i myself as an american i don't think it's worth it. it's illegal. the united nations says the attacks are illegal. human rights organizations, i mean amnesty international, all of them, they say they are legal. hundreds of civilians have been killed. anti-american is deeply embedded now in pakistan, in yemen, and other places. yes, technically they're effective. but the question is you have also to balance the legal and the political and long-term effects of such attacks. yet really to me it's very surprising that the president stood up and took responsibility. one has to respect this president for doing so. yet i mean many people in the world where i am and other places in the world, they say the administration has been basically buried its

much embraced by him when he came in 2009 heavily used around border area of afghanistan and pakistanld point out not clear if it happened in afghanistan or pakistan. he certainly allowed grand expansion of much of this program and recently has begun to review it tightening of the rules. one of the key issues i think, which has come under great scrutiny something called signature strikes where behavior, military age males in areas known to be high al qaeda presence often enabled a strike to be used. they have been much that remains confidential. the question will be given he has said neither of these two american al qaeda members or leaders were in fact specifically targeted by this strike what was it that led them to believe this attack was necessary and exactly what did they know in full about who was in that compound jake. >> that's right. good questions. if they didn't know these two high-value targets -- being targeted were going to be in the strike zone who did they think was there. those are questions that undoubtedly we'll be asking the white house and national security offici

pakistan border. we are getting conflicting information about exactly where it may have occurred but it was certainly along the rugged border between afghanistan and pakistan. the first strike the american warren weinstein was killed along with an italian aid worker giovani laporto. also an american who had turned al qaeda. according to the president and others we are talking to the u.s. had no idea that those two americans and the italian were at that location. in a secondary strike not clear which was on the 14th or the 19th adam gadahn who served as al qaeda spokesman for years and was very adept at getting al qaeda's message out to the western world because he was an american who spoke english and was long considered a target by u.s. military but american officials are saying they didn't know that gadahn was at that location when the cia drone strikes were launched. and the president said the u.s. was confident in its intelligence that this was, these were in fact legitimate al qaeda targets but that these four individuals who we find out today were killed, it was not known that they were at these locations. >> the cruel and bitter truth,
