Believed to be scud missiles. we saw kim jong-un presiding over special forces operation where commandos were simulating attacks on south korean islands. the message we got in pyongyang from officials is that north korea is not done with trying to prove to the united states that they are serious when they say they will not tolerate these regularly scheduled, perfectly legal, joint exercises between the u.s. and south korea. now word from south korea that perhaps preparations are underway in the ...

South korea and all of metropolitan seoul. this wasnt the type of provocative flight path that would put them down so close to all of those military assets down in guam wit united states has indicateded would have crossed the line and been a very severe provocation. weve seen dozens of north korean missile launches and saw kim jong-un overseeing special forces training exercise. that video just released within the past 12 hours or so showing commandos simulate agattack on south korean islands. n...

Rhetoric from north korea over the last month. we are now seeing something very different we havent seen since the end of july when they launched that intercontinental ballistic missile. we are seeing actual military activity. you mentioned the three ballistic missiles that were launched. you mentioned they are short-range. two of them traveled about 250 kilometers, just over 150 miles, but that puts all of seoul, potentially, in striking range. key u.s. military bases in south korea. even thoug...

Have more afghan commandos and more trainers. >> shepard: and to what end? >> a very good question. for president trump, this is more of a legacy issue. nobody wants to be known as the person that lost the car in afghanistan. each president has kicked it forward and let the next. deal with it. >> shepard: there has to be more to it than that. we cant just be fighting with no end game. just a world without end. >> well, we went there because al-quaida had a safe haven and the taliban gave them sa...

Ive done missions with afghan commandos and u.s. special forces. youd be very impressed. theyre good, solid troops. they need airlift, support, medevac, all those basic things. afghanistan has an urban counter terrorism group that i read about in "recoil" magazine. theyre extremely efficient. so i give full marks for the troops we have trained. they want to double the number of commandos a rapid reaction force, this is a very good way to prosecute this war. sort of a rapid reaction for it. >> th...

Terrorism war, a stabilization war and also fighting a political war, which is maintaining the centralized government run by the afghanistan president. the bottom line, when you support afghan commandos and go into a village and take out the taliban, you cant walk away. the afghan government is bankrupt. they rely on foreign donors for its existence. there will be some diplomatic or political activities going on. weve always had a disdense between the state department activities and military act...

And still, the same problems seem to exist year after year after year. >> well, yeah, the afghan commandos, which are about 20,000 in number, are doing disproportionate amount of the fighting and dying. to add what general hurtling said, another thing coming out of the speech is a line ive heard from inside the trump administration is their biggest criticism of the obama administration in this regard was the fact that when president obama announced a surge of troops into afghanistan december 1st...

Argument? >> no. i think its ridiculous. look, at the end of the day there is a problem in afghanistan, were trying to create a centralized federal government and group of warring tribes essentially the pashtun against the rest of them. there isnt going to be a win in afghanistan. the question is do we sit in there and try to prevent it from going down the tubes and become a terrorist haven or do we withdraw? and i think you know, to be blunt, no political system has been willing to step forward...

This country, it probably is very close, no state has been fair and no group has gone untouched. this is not a problem of young or old, black or white. of rural, urban, or suburban. it really has affected all of our communities in various degrees. it is also a nonpartisan issue. in search of bipartisan support. bipartisan solution. we do hope that those in a position to help with the decision-making and advocacy and solution commandos charged with covering this issue as well. will agree that it ...

Towards the cockpit. >> when all the passengers were trying to get out, as they were exiting the aircraft, a lot of them were actually being shot by the egyptian commando teams. it was such a chaotic situation. >> rezaq starts to run off into the darkness. he is shot through the chest by commandos. >> once this scene has been secured, the extent of the damage and death becomes apparent. >> at least eight passengers were killed by gunfire. the other 51 were killed by the fire and the smoke. >> th...
