u.s. military presence but also u.s. trained policemen and u.s.trained soldiers now an ordinary american working in afghanistan today doesn't know whether he should expect a bullet from afghan taliban and al gun policeman or not gun soldier whom he might have treated earlier so this is a very unique situation now two things we need to keep in mind number one even after ten years it seems the americans don't know who they're dealing with they don't know the get on very well and number two another very important thing is that it just seems that. this incident indicates how u.s. soldiers and how u.s. military are increasingly trained into what i would call anti islamists and they're constantly sort of indoctrinated into into into treating islam disrespectfully and we've seen of course stories this year about how new york policemen were trained into you know watching movies that were anti muslim and so forth so so. so these two observations are very important the prevalent disrespect toward islam in the in the us official culture including the u.s. mi

u.s. and e.u. with israel threatening military action but u.s. intelligence has reportedly said there's no evidence to support accusations tehran is pursuing nuclear weapons raise a mirage here from the national iranian american council and a former u.s. state department official says a new approach is needed to solve the crisis. the american intelligence agencies and for that matter the israeli intelligence agencies and many other foreign governments intelligence agencies are saying that iran is not made the political decision to pursue weaponized stations and that leaves time for diplomacy to be pursued to find a peaceful solution that's beneficial to all parties involved the primary sticking point the primary tropp problem that we see is that nobody trusts one another people in the p five plus one don't trust each other iran doesn't trust anybody in the p five plus one so in an effort to try and move things forward and shift that paradigm from the negative to the positive you know we need to get creative and international leaders need to find

u.s. and the wiley's or other threatening military action however u.s. intelligence has reported it now said there's no evidence to support accuse ations that iran is pursuing nuclear weapons and can't hide in an economist at foreign policy in focus magazine says the west is going to send over iran's nuclear program is merely a pretext to take control of its vast and interest sources. i think a nuclear bomb is really in many ways a smokescreen this is not about nuclear weapons is a long word to use a nuclear weapon safe or against israel it would be an act of national suicide i think this has a lot more to do with the politics of the middle east and the politics of the control of energy resources of the nine hundred seventy nine revolution in iran essentially removed the second largest oil resources in the third largest natural gas resources from direct control by western oil and gas companies and essentially made it independent now the west would love to get those resources barack and they would love to also not have that kind of independent force in th

u.s. military began to employ mobile speaker systems. were the perfect example they were just playing music day and night over there it almost got to be a gag like at like a musical show the loudspeakers were playing music and of course the. and the insurgents who were in fallujah a playback they from their mosque a loud speakers on a bus they played music back they played various religious music. heavy metal against islamist. it was a little slow i demonstrate the perceived superiority of western culture the u.s. military believes that the musical bombardment helps on the mind the mirage of the insurgents the psychological war operations and our except at the point where ever you want to board for so if you have what's three or four groups going in with a deeper tie and the reds report of a game in a certain area each of those units night call for a team and then that will come down here in fort bragg will be tasked with we're sending a loud speaker king so it there's much more command. the technology of these loudspeakers is becoming m

u.s. military that really drive the war in afghanistan if the u.s. military and according to internal studies that report that came out itself knowledge that we're essentially losing the war to the taliban we're now concerned though sharing with the taliban exciter out if that's not the overall focus of that conflict there then why continue a policy on you know flushing out these insurgents from the house that that's no longer the objective i think the answer to that is that the military leadership has been very successful in selling to the american public and i'm afraid the news media as well the success narrative that general petraeus particularly initiated in two thousand and ten which has continued since then no that can break down i mean i think it will eventually it will break down but so far they've been very successful and i think they're counting on that to sort of carry them through some of that they don't have to admit the truth essentially now there's other policies that the u.s. has in place that sort of sort of further this globe back of

u.s. military with six hundred thirteen police. afghan soldiers who were asked for their opinion about u.s. troops in afghanistan and this was the single biggest issue that they cited as the cause of ultra cations serious water conditions between afghan troops and u.s. troops i mean it just seems to me that there is a contradiction in the policy if we're supposed to be fighting the taliban there and these policies are essentially helping to radicalize the population and perhaps helping the population see more support for the taliban isn't there a blowdry effect will be and i think what this shows is that the real sources of policymaking are not objective interests or their objective situation in the country it's the bureaucratic needs and interests of the u.s. military but really drive the war in afghanistan if the u.s. military and according to internal studies that report that came out itself acknowledge that we're essentially losing the war to the taliban we're now considering though she hadn't with the taliban exciter and if tha

u.s. military. but christopher wants to meet the band for a different reason music was also used to torture prisoners he wants to marry from the band just as upset about this as he is today drowning pool plays next to one of the largest naval bases in the united states but there is a problem. actually i'm a little nervous about this interview because we got an email this morning from drowning pool's manager saying that they weren't supposed to about guantanamo or we weren't supposed to ask them anything about that and after all that's why i came here so how can i possibly find out what i want to know about. the use of this music charts. prisoners if we're not allowed to talk about. absolutely crazy. it's a problem usually it's everything you think about. going to hell yeah. maybe when. they say support our troops you know what not enough people do. he went on a different side of let's. just curious you guys have a lot of military fans too these guys ever tell you why they like your music so much wha

have that capacity and have that and want to move the goal posts a lot closer to military intervention you also have the u.s. election coming up and the republican candidates are saying that the moment ministration is weak on iran that it should take military action against iran that it should draw red lines in the same and there should follow up on them except i think there's a very hawkish kind of view point out there it's unclear exactly what the israelis will do to try and pressure the obama administration or whether they're keeping that alexion in mind. well israel has repeatedly threatened to attack iran's nuclear sites saying that western sanctions aren't working but coupled with accusations that iran is behind the attacks and its diplomats abroad israel could already be committed to military action parties earlier this comports. israel's leaders are actively drumming up the military rhetoric. iran is the biggest terror exporter in the world the israeli government and its security forces will continue to act forcefully systematically and calmly against international terrorism dating from iran. a pote

u.s. military has been in the but has done for the first time even to smaller places in provinces and towns wherever there is u.s. presence ordinary afghans are laying siege to these places until now the americans were facing a very serious resistance groups the of gun taliban but now after this incident we're see the ordinary dance of force pitched against the u.s. will be present but also u.s. trained police men and u.s. trained soldiers now an ordinary american working you know what is done today doesn't know whether he should expect a bullet from afghan taliban and afghan policeman or not gun soldier who he might have trained earlier even after ten years it seems the americans don't know who they're dealing with they don't get on this very well u.s. military are increasingly treated to what i would call anti islamists and they're constantly sort of indoctrinated into into into treating islam disrespectfully i fail to see how the u.s. military personnel and the of the east end of gun army personnel would be able to restore the level of trust that existed let's say five days or six days a

also criticized iran for not allowing inspectors into a key military site the country is facing tough u.s. any new sanctions on threats of an attack from israel over its nuclear program that it insists it's peaceful conn hallinan a columnist of foreign policy in focus magazine says the west concern over iran's nuclear program may be a pretext to take control of its energy resources. i think a nuclear bomb is really in many ways a smokescreen this is not about nuclear weapons even if iran were to develop nuclear weapons that would make little difference if iran were to use a nuclear weapon say for against israel it would be an act of national suicide israel has between two and three hundred nuclear weapons that could literally exterminate iran as a country we were on is not a nuclear threat i think this has a lot more to do with the politics of the middle east and the politics of the control of energy resources than one hundred seventy nine revolution in iran essentially remove the second largest oil resources and the third largest natural gas resources from direct control by western oil a

u.s. european sanctions israel has repeatedly threatened military strike despite calls from washington and london to allow new sanctions more time to work but israel which also accuses tehran of attacking its diplomats abroad could already be committed to military action. reports. that israel's leaders are actively drumming up the military rhetoric. iran is the biggest exporter in the world the israeli government and its security forces will continue to act forcefully systematically and calmly against international terror from iran. a potential israeli rather clash looks more likely than never there is speculation a preemptive strike against iran's nuclear sites could happen as early as spring or summer although that's not causing undue concern in israel i think possibly people you know they make their plans for a vacation you know pass or a vacation summer vacation possibly people are beginning to wonder well is there going to be a war is something going to mess it up or i think they're probably going ahead with it we sort of thought we're back it would be nice if we could get a flight th

u.s. military is staying tight-lipped for details but what we hear, this was a member of the afghan police force that was working with u.s. troops in kabul sand very angry about the burning of the quran. this type of violence is unheard of in kabul. we have other cases where soldiers have been attacked by afghan soldiers and police officers, two other u.s. troops were killed earlier in the week. this violence has been building and building. more than 30 afghans have been killed in protests across the country. there is a lot of anger among the afghan population among the security forces and frustrated with u.s. and international forces. this anger does not appear to be going away. there were hopes this entire crisis would begin to fade away. this latest incident in top commander john allen has pulled out advise frers the ministry. it doesn't appear to be going away anytime soon. >> gregg: thanks very much, conner. >> heather: another fox news alert. final hideout of terrorist leader being reduced to rubble. the demolition of osama bin laden's compound. they are using the backhoes to tear do
