Have been killed. no information on the fourth wife, siham sabar, who is believed to have four kids with osama bin laden and just disappeared during the bombing in afghanistan. the fifth wife, amal al-sadah, married a year before 9/11. she was 18 years old and he was 43 when they got married. this was seen by many as a political alliance between bin laden and the yemeni branch of al qaeda. this is the one that defended osama bin laden in the compound. she was shot in the leg when the s.e.a.l.s went in there. passport was found and she had also she is in custody with pakistani authorities and telling them she was in the hideout, in the compound for five years and didn t leave. carol? i can t even imagine that. do you think he shared i know. it is unlikely the way he felt about women that he would share any important information
It s not that well known, but a lot of bin laden s family has lived in tehran. i m not going to tell you that the regime in tehran are allies, but they cooperate and collaborate. we should be strategic about how many forces we deploy to that battlefield as well as the other one. but i don t think you want to get out. you could not even have taken out osama bin laden as we did if we were not deployed deep in afghanistan. we used bagram air force base, jalal la bad. i think most americans understand that. what is confusing now is what america s mission in afghanistan
Street journal, whose side is pakistan on? it says circumstances over bin laden s death are a game changer. for u.s. relations with pakistan. americans are angry demanding to know how the world s most wanted terrorist spent years unnoticed in the heartland of a supposed al ally, but this could thing the disadvantage to an advantage. not only that, but we found out american spies spent months in that same pack tanny neighborhood and nobody found out. lots of things maybe for pakistan to be embarrassed the. something else. when the u.s. conducted that raid, they used this stealth helicopter and that certainly says something about the trust level that america had with pakistan, right? carol, i m really sorry, i
Human ops team instead of bombing the compound at abbottabad. but i think the way you can follow this up and show that democrats have really made a really good turn is to stop the investigation into the cia members who are interrogating detained terrorists. at the same time, while you re celebrating the vick toe of the death of bin laden achieved by this interrogation. i m going to first reject dana and i m going to ridicule the premise of this. if we re defining being tav as going into war that we can t afford and can t pay for costing thousands of lives and putting our country in debt, no, we re not very tough. wimpy means a measured, thoughtful response when our national security calls for it, then yeah, we re peewee herman if that s the way we re defining it. pete. yeah. i think how we define the toughness is how we will we kill people or how our president orders our military. if we re going with that premise, president obama just
Happened, but hoping that people in the states wouldn t think that the troops here should just withdrawal and go home. this is not just about killing. it s about making sure that there is infrastructure in place here, to make sure there are schools, to make sure afghanistan is more security than its past has been. we got a funny reaction. we spoke with one soldier who was on patrol when he heard news. it was basically messaged to them and he said they didn t believe it. he said they got the news one day after may 1st. they were wondering april 1st quarterback maybe it was an april fools joke. then they got more messages. he got back on base yesterday and was amazed that it actually happened. mohammed jamjoon, thank you. but the question remains, should the u.s. pull troops out of afghanistan altogether now that bin laden is death? let s talk more about that. let s talk to cliff may.
