>> its the washington, d.c., for the kurds, the curbs help us destroy isis, 60,000 arabs were mostly kurds went into raqqa, they died by the thousands, we owe it to not abandon them. if we abandon the kurds and they have to fight turkey, these 10,000 isis fighters will break loose and that will be on president trumps watch. if we can get turkey to stop and get them out of syria, we can protect the turkish interest between the kurds and turkey and we can keep iran from coming in. what i worry abo...

Area where sunni arabs could live. they are terrified, often running away from situations where they feel theyre about to be under attack. we see the ground here constantly changing. people packing up to leave from homes where theyve been for years. its terrifying, really, to see a new chapter in syrias civil war unfold here and the possibility of yet further blood shed. u.s. troops are kind of caught in the middle of this, precariously caught between these different emerging factors. the possib...

This from today on syria from the president. very smart not to be involved in the intense fighting along the turkish border for a change, he writes. those that -- they have no idea what a bad decision theyve made. why are they not asking for a declaration of war? last comment on that, general. >> well, i think we have all the reason to be in syria as i discussed. what we do not want is those 10,000 fighters getting out of those detention centers joining the other 18,000 and eventually isis hoist...

Arabs that are in turkey and plop them in the kurdish area of syria. that obviously raises immediate issues about local tension as well as the fighting between the kurds and the turks. this would be a deportation, effectively, against the will of the people, against the u.n. and other regulations. >> whats extraordinary to me is that this had been such an example of the limited but effective use of american power. a few hundred american troops seem to have been able to maintain the peace. >> tha...

They are of all ethnicity but vastly kurds and fleeing from the turkish invasion. as simple as that. theres great concern about the humanitarian situation in that zone and more widely if the fighting spreads. >> the other thing thats happening is that the turks are trying to use the space that theyre conquering to resettle a whole bunch the syrian refugees but that is fraught with complications. explain why. >> turkey has done an extraordinary job over the last seven or eight years, 3.7 million ...

There is another more controversial element. erdogan wants to take part. probably near half of the 6.5 syrian refugees who are currently sheltering within turkey and put them back into syria within this peace corridor. of course most of them are syrian arabs, not syrian kurds. thats why you keep hearing this ethnic cleansing being bantered around. >> we have several of my colleagues throughout the region. we will be checking in with them throughout the next couple hours. thank you very much, mat...

Most of two or syrian arabs. it is thoord see howhard to see demographic change is not taking place. this sf a conflict not likely to remain neatly contained. there are potential consequences to it that were aware of like the reemergence of isis and plenty of consequences that were not yet aware of at this stage. >> all right, barbara star, arwaday moarw arwadarw a damon. help us understand this potential opening for russia. the u.s. saying in that document that the -- the u.s. saying that you d...

Kurds and arabs and said we have a common enemy, itsize and we want to root them out larly of the caliphate and were gooing o give you advice and counsel but were going to need you on the front lune 378z and we shook their hands and they went and fought. and while americans lost their loves in syria the number is less than ten. i believe its six americans, which is tragic but comparathat to them. they lost upwards of 10,000 people. so the next time we fight somewhere and we dont want american me...

More than 12000 suspected of as fighters and their families in so-called 7 prisons and camps this is a big and so tended to christie nobody knows whats going to happen with them if they could can flee or if if the reshape of the eye is terrorism can raise again the problem is that that this invasion in this respect creates a lot of inside tenet. these reserve the the i as fighters and their families on the one hand but also refugees in the total on the other because the main objective of the one...

Turks, and in demand a dictator turning democracy into something else and the iranians and vladimir putin and russia? how is it not a gift to those three? >> you could argue that actually this will create differences between iranians, the russians and the turks because they dont agree on this and it might threaten territorial integrity of syria. but what this does, it is a huge boost to air to one who was not only concerned about these kurdish fighters in a raid along the border but also a growi...
