our number one priority is protecting the populace above all the things. so the important for us is to provide protection, but the way we go about it is by working through our partners. so it is not as providing something they need. it is not us a helping build a speed bump in their village. it is us setting conditions to allow the afghan security forces to do that. >> what about the afghan security forces in baraki barak? how are things? >> the army is doing well. they live right here with us. the police are here as well. pretty much everything we need is in one spot as far as governments -- army and police. the army are very capable here. we are just getting into the warmer months, so we expect activity to increase from an insertion perspective and from a security forces perspective. -- they can communicate. they can provide security. their leaders plan pretty well. >> what do they still need from you? >> what they really need from us is kind of the next step. what we can provide them that they are not as good yet is, for example, is planning and logisti

warning people of possible extreme weather and terror attacks a move some analysts say will make the populace more fearful and not a more informed chip will be placed me should american cell phone meaning users will get the alerts whether they want them or on. coming up with all the journeys of four veterans that explore how being a good soldier became synonymous with being able to pull the trigger without hesitation special report coming up. paneled on this moment prompted you. to be a soldier was a very important thing in a young man's life and to be not just a soldier but to be a damn good soldier and to be in combat in. the komi. granted that's where you belong. and that's the southerner in me in time of war that's where you belong and you think. i had left mr sethi. probably join my junior year because of the anger i had a girl whatever i needed to get out of mississippi or probably. take a mob here and then harbor michigan to work on the harvest and that work i couldn't do i couldn't make money at it so i came back to. thought i was in jackson i wanted to live the induction center and s

unilaterally gloating taking a heavy hand one of the risks that is run is a alienating the palace of the populace and entrenching support within the military intelligence establishment i think this is not the goal i think the endgame in fact of the obama administration is to try and preserve some of the larger structure of the alliance while again shifting some of the internal support a way from the most unpredictable and erratic elements of the military intelligence structure. towards other elements in the pakistani establishment again it is a very tricky policy and i think the reflection of this good cop bad cop approach to the problem shows that the obama administration is trying again to lead from behind trying to push its leverage in certain ways without inflaming the situation further but again it's a very difficult role to play i come back again to the case of egypt where in fact let me. let me just we're going to go to war break and after the break we discussed afghanistan r.t. . if you look at. if. he. says. the british. market find out. find out what's really happening to the global eco

yet, do you do things like that, like try to win over the local populace? >> what we try did is facilitate the army and the police doing that. our number-one priority is protecting the populace above all other things. the way we go about it it is by working with our partners. it is not us helping to build a speed bump in their village, is us setting conditions to allow afghan security forces to do it. >> what about the afghan security forces like the army? how is the army during? >> the army is doing well. they live right here with us, just on the other side of the compound. the police are here, pretty much everything you need is here in one stop. the army here is very capable. we are just now getting into the warmer months of the year, so we expect activity to increase from an insurgent perspective and from a security forces perspective. they are capable, they can communicate and provide security and their leaders planned pretty well. >> what do they still need from you? >> what they really need from us is the next step. what we can provide them that they a

whatever the case may be it's simply discarding a war on terror boogey man who is no longer scaring the populace ok so you have your point of view about what went on today and certainly you're entitled to that but what do you think this will be you know about the presidential elections coming up twenty four hours around the corner do you think that obama can claim this as a victory leading into a reelection campaign. there's certainly no doubt that this is going to give a market boost to obama as people rally around the flag as they usually do in circumstances like this so i think this is going to have a positive effect in that way and also it it once again. endures the public and yours the public i should say to the idea of extra judicial assassinations just days after nato's attempted to assassinate and ended up killing his son and grandchildren once again we see another type of extra judicial assassination going on which of course is an international war crimes in this case it's a it's ok because it's the beginning and everyone loves to hate so once again makes it ok in the eyes of the public

do you do things like that, try to win over the local populace? what we tried to do is facilitate the army and police during that period -- doing that. our number one army is to provide the protection that they need, but the way we do it is by funneling it to our partners. it is not as providing them something that they need. it is not us helping them build a speedboat in their village. it is us setting conditions to allow afghan security forces to do it. but what about the afghan security forces in braki barak, for instance, the army? >> the army are here with us. the police are as well. pretty much everything you need is in one spot as far as army and police. we are just now getting into the warmer months of the year. we expect activity to increase from an insurgent perspective, also from the security forces perspective. the people can communicate. they can provide security. and their leaders plan pretty well. >> what do they need from you? >> what they really need from us is kind of the next up -- next step that we can provide them that they ar

government is to see what we can do to help the pakistani government provide the type of lifestyle for the populaceture. >> given that bin laden was found in apparently comfortable conditions in pakistan. and there are big threats to the u.s. in yemen in terms of yemen, undercut the strategic rationale to have 100,000 troops in afghanistan? >> the basis for the presence in afghanistan is to bring that country the security that it can have and to not allow al qaeda to ever again use afghanistan as a launching point. this is something we are in ongoing discussions with the afghan government. we need to make sure that part of the world which has given rise to a number of groups, al qaeda, others, that they cannot use that area with impugnity to carry out attacks. we are as determined as we ever have been to bring the security that these countries and these people need and deserve because of what we can in fact help them with. >> i note we didn't let any other countries know before the strike. has the president has any contact with the leaders of nato countries? >> the president has had many conversati

ultimately, the populace on the right and the left are not a majority and there is a sensible, centrist compromise that could solve the problem and end illegal immigration. now one of the questions why the facts do not penetrate the debate is there such a fundamentally different diagnosis of the problem. many of us who support comprehensive immigration reform see immigrants as decent people who were trying to make better lives and have -- and add value to america. and others the iigrants, particularly those who enter the united states illegally, as bad people. from the start, is it basically good people subjected to a bad system, or is it basically bad people subjected to a sacred law? i am big on the rule of law. don't get me wrong. i am so big on the rule of law that i am glad our founding fathers created legislatures to change laws when they are no longer working. and that is what those of us to support comprehensive immigration reform want to see happen, for congress to fulfill its constitutional responsibility to modernize our system so that it works better in our national self-int

we are doing is to see what we can do to help the government provide that type of lifestyle for the populacee future. >> osama bin laden was found in such a comfortable position in pakistan. there are obviously big threats to u.s. interest in places like yemen in terms of terrorism. he could still have 100 dozen troops in afghanistan. >> the basis for the presence in afghanistan is to bring that country the security that it can have, and to not allow al qaeda to ever again use that as a launching point. this is something we are in ongoing discussions with the afghan government and the pakistani government. there are groups and we want to find they cannot use that area to carry out attacks. we are as determined as we ever have been to bring people what they need and deserve because we can. >> i know we did not let any other countries know before the strike. was there any contact with the leaders of nato? >> there were a number of conversations with foreign leaders about this mission. i am not going to go into individual discussions we have had. clearly, this is something of international sign

and i think they absolutely have a responsibility as ralph said to protect the populace which they govern but i don't think that, what i do honestly believe is you can't protect a community without that community's involvement. so what i think is, you've got to get the people in the room to design the right program. you need to do it right. if you leave that to government to do in and of themselves i'm not sure you're going to get the kind of program you really need. i support it. tsa, when it was, ready to start, and people in this room i can see even with the bright lights there as well, you have to understand understand, you walked in the door and there was small group of people, very small, sit in one room, answered all the phones and you had to decide, okay, we have to have how many security officers in the field? where are we getting uniforms and who will design them? you don't have time to do that. who has something we can get today and in volume of 380,000 uniforms. so it is not like you could build an organization from the top down with a lot of thought. the real tsa didn't start

we're trying to do is to see if we can help the pakistan government to provide a line staff for the populace. populace.

makes you want to engage with citizenry and more practical economics to have a more educated populace? and the other question is i will get the book but i would love to hear your perspective on the role of women. i guess that is a broad question but i am grappling with this kind of rhetoric that has been emerging with the need of investing in women that it feels as if it has such a capitalist agenda behind it so women could be more productive workers in the work force. and jpmorgan and the big multinational corporations have the efforts to bring women to business schools there seems something very suspect about that and also wisconsin. what do you think about what is happening in wisconsin and? >> [laughter] i am grateful you appreciate my effort to communicate with the general public. some of my colleagues get worried. [laughter] i do not want to suggest even for a second that what i am doing here there are some technical sayings that can do well that is not what i am trying to do but to tell you that, but you can make a judgment. it is strange because when it comes to drug safety, nuclear po

know, try to engage citizenry in more practical economics to have a more educated populace engaging in that. and then the other question i had was i'll get the book, but i'd love to hear your perspective on, like, the role of women. um, i guess that's a broad question, but i'm just kind of grappling with this, this kind of rhetoric that has been emerging about the need of investing in women. it feels as if it has such a capitalist agenda behind it so that wick can be -- women can be more productive workers in the work force. and, you know, jpmorgan and all these big, multi-national corporations have these, you know, efforts to bring women into business schools. i don't know, there seems something very suspect about it. [laughter] so if you could address those things. and also the last thing is wisconsin. what you think about what's happening in wisconsin. >> right. yeah.
