Ground. >> they did the fighting. fighting its a myth that the united states was doing the fighting. we were advising them for artillery and air support. for a modest investment, we got a huge payoff, destroyed the calcaliphate, pushed back the organization to a terrorist network, protected america, protected europe. huge, significant payoff for that investment. the se second thing thats happening is the iranians are massing on the western side of the you river. we own everything on the eastern ...

Ideology. we have millions of kurds living in turkey, syria, iraq. we have good relations with all of them. we have no intention to harm them in any way. our fight is against a terrorist network, just as we fought about daesh and isis, we have to fight against other terrorist networks in syria. let me also underline that this safe zone will in no way affect negatively or diminish the fight against isis. we fought against isis and eliminated more than 3,000 of their tear rivets, and we have captu...

Perhaps others. i dont want to get into that. its more internal american politics. what really i think will be of benefit to everyone is to make sure that we have this safe zone for everyone, including the kurds themselves. the idea that somehow this safe zone will turn into an incursion or oppression of the kurds is simply not in tune with the facts on the ground because there are thousands of kurds in syria who do not describe to pkks marxist lennonist ideology. the fact is the united states h...

Terrorist network to follow. there is no link chart to follow. so its hard to target these guys. all right. they are radicalized via the internet. and, again, it is one reason why we cant take our eye off the ball. isis is not yet defeated. they still have a presence around the world. and we need to be rooting them out because they are very capable of spreading their propaganda and radicalizing people here in the united states. steve: all right. you know, when i heard the first news reporting ab...

Many believed his son was a rising figure inside the organization and that he had already at the age of 30 started to reach out to some al qaeda franchises and branch network groups to sort of start correlating operations, maybe help plan some. there was a legitimate concern that this was a future star leader of the organization. >> when osama bin laden was killed in 2011, items seized in the navy s.e.a.l. raid indicated he was grooming him to replace him as al qaeda leader. what is the status o...

Terrorist network. regardless of whos leading it, they still want to be powerful. they still want to conduct attacks. theyre decentralizing much more than ever before. theyre still dangerous. back to your point about the peace talks and camp david. this is a good reminder for the trump administration that the taliban still has not renounced their association with al qaeda. they still have a relationship there. and its not a monolithic organization, and its not very clear that even if you get a p...

Their capacity to conduct external attacks has been made much more difficult. we have taken down significant risk, not all of it, but a significant amount. >> isis lock on vast areas of iraq and syria is largely gone. often celebrated by president trump. >> and we have won against isis. we have beaten them, and we have beaten them badly. we have taken back the land. >> but the pentagon has always warned that a victory on land is not the defeat of isis ideology, which has spread to afghanistan, n...

Displaced persons in camps, this becomes very fertile recruiting ground for isis to regroup. what the generals have been saying for the last several months is you are going to have gore ril la attacks, suicide bombers and isis migrating into north africa where its been operating for some time and in recent years up in afghanistan. so this is going to be the challenge that the u.s. faces. can isis stage a 9/11 type attack on u.s. soil? hopefully not. but they can destabilize an awful lot of terri...

Is continuing to betray us. he is supposed to be going after al qaeda but over years now not only have we not gone after al qaeda which is stronger today than they were on 9/11, our president is supporting al qaeda. >> reporter: gabbard elaborated that the presidents alliance with saudi arabia is providing direct support to al qaeda but the numbers show the terrorist network lost some territory. the islamic state emerged out of al qaeda in iraq after the us led invasion in 2003. at one point ice...

Usama bin ladens son is believed to be dead. in an individual tells fox news the us played a role in killing the emerging al qaeda leader. rob: aishah hasnie joins us with what we know about this operation and how the white house is responding. >> reporter: donald trump was asked about this yesterday but would not confirm or deny the report. he was thought to be 30 years old and the emerging as a leader within al qaeda as recently as february, the state department offered a one million-dollar re...
