sees yemen as the most dangerous al qaida outpost and he's planning to step up drone attacks on the country establishing a. they sing the persian gulf specifically for that purpose especially now when bin nonce replacement iman also ari is not to be building obl quite as already significant presence in yemen. the u.s. had been cooperate ing with yemeni counterterrorism forces in targeting al qaida but they've since left the field preoccupied instead with a nation wide turmoil against the sollie regime that means the americans are likely to have a freer hand going it alone with the cia to take a central role because the agency is not subject to the accountability the us military is legally under expect more bombs to fall on yemen when the us starts to hit people who are members of al qaeda new arabian peninsula then i think the real worry is that it expands this war to the point where so many people join up with al qaeda their security in yemen over the killing of scores of civilians by the drone strikes in want to tack there the american military presumably ming at an al qaida train

vacuum there in yemen is supposed to be giving al qaida a chance to take power would that not be a very good argument in comparison to libya and syria for foreign intervention. nothing that would strengthen the hand of al qaida and promote them a western intervention in yemen particularly the west who supported presence for all these years sold him large numbers of arms and weaponry and now seem to be opposing him in all that to try and create some of the settlement i think the western role should be to try and promote a political dialogue between the various factions which is not impossible to achieve that and try to bring about some kind of resolution and peace there but if the west goes in with our. starts bombing on behalf of. who then i think that will make the situation markedly worse yemen has huge poverty and social issues it's the poorest country in the region its median age of population is less than eighty and it has the greatest social discrepancies of any country in the whole region the last thing it needs is more bombing what it needs is peace what it needs is people comin

the rationale for the war in afghanistan which is that we are preventing al qaida from coming back to have a safe haven in afghanistan is failing to come to grips with the reality that al qaeda is already well ensconced in pakistan that is the safe haven that they have carved out over the past ten years it's extremely secure much more secure than anything they ever had in afghanistan there is absolutely no reason to believe after that is interested in going back to afghanistan the real problem is pakistan the united states is essentially denying that again because of the political interest and i would have to jump in here we've run out of time so we'll see if the americans and its allies will ever leave afghanistan many thanks to my guests today in washington and in london thanks to our viewers for watching us here darkie see you next time and remember rastafarians. hungry for the full story we've got. the biggest issues get a human voice seems to say so with the news makers. civilians in libya feel the brunt of violence from both nato airstrikes and bombs and pro and anti-government

reese says that no matter who's in charge of al qaida washington will still use the perceived terror threat as an excuse for military action. he was the main fear a titian osama bin laden thought in broad strokes it was a means of quarry was involved in the nitty gritty and some people even said he was the brains behind the movement so in that sense they'll be a continuum i think the west was it was wrong footed by what was going on in the middle east and i think they're very keen to have a foothold there now certainly al qaeda in the arabian peninsula is one of the most active ideological groups there but the yemeni president ali abdullah saleh who was injured recently he used al-qaeda as an excuse to get funds from the united states and then he used those funds against another group in a local dispute and in the same way that i think that the united states can attack you know drone attacks in certain areas and claim that's fine we going for al qaeda so our influence there shouldn't be questioned so i think we should be slightly cynical about those claims. israel is also using it te
