war on terror so what is the u.s. do now focus its efforts more on somalia or yemen or places where it knows or believes that al qaeda is training well i think the most fundamental thing that the u.s. has to do is to reconsider a strategic framework for dealing with the kind of which right now is to attack and occupy a country so we can fight a counterinsurgency campaign and try to divide them from the people i mean it's also drone attacks thank countries like pakistan and yemen sure and that has had an enormously destabilizing impact on pakistan as well so i think you know when you look we've been telling this story for a while now that we think afghanistan today and there's a research body of research done by the rand corporation that shows what in sterile scripts what the ins insurgencies and terrorist groups is usually not military operations it's more law enforcement techniques it's counterterrorism operations but it's not just military first strategy where you send hundreds of thousands of troops into a country

china owns almost $1 trillion of u.s. government bonds. >> the u.s.'s interests have turned to asia and latin america for the future. that means the u.s. will clearly have to invest more resources in building partnerships with states in these regions and will be sure to invest more with them because those countries are more important and europe has shown little support for u.s. policies. >> we still have a massive amount of investment in europe, and we will always have that for the foreseeable future. i think the question will be the united states will look east and west simultaneously, and it is not something that is an elimination game. we have to play both sides. we have to play in europe and asia, but we need both perr. >> europeans have received serious competition. >>> earlier, i spoke with the head of the berlin office of the european council on foreign relations and asked her what we can learn about obama's approach towards europe after his speech to both houses of british parliament. >> i think what we can observe is he had a truly internation

the u.s. agency for international development is doing along the outside -- alongside the military. we are looking at a substantial increase in the number of state department offices and u.s. aid offices from roughly 300 to 1200. we have seen the state department working very closely with the military. problem in thehe political environment lies with our civilian agencies. i think it lies with afghan officials whose interests may be differently allied with ours. -- aligned with ours. >> i think the relationship between the military and civilian agencies has definitely improved our the past two years on this front. organizations like the u.s. agency for international development or oti is working fairly closely with special forces teams on bottom-up initiatives. this was an international issue for a long time. the military probably moved earliest on this around 2009. most everybody is now on board. the biggest challenge is probably when you get to rural areas of afghanistan, the military footpr

the u.s. administration now of course hail so some of the lodges death is a great victory on the war on terror front but the bigger question is how much more terror has that war instigated ever since the u.s. has a track record of policies that backfired like arming and training the afghan mujahideen in the nineteen eighties and you know in their fight against the soviet troops subsequently the same guy who the militants turned their weapons and training against the u.s. among those supported by the u.s. was also on the bin ladin who's been potentially involved into al qaida but like i said i said there is a lot of cheerleading going on in washington right now and it seems many find it more comforting to think only in terms of justice is being served an evil punished rather than also look at the other side of the double edged sword which is america's war on terror and turning to a nice and now russia is no stranger to al qaeda linked terror movements tell us more about that. matter russia most

here in the u.s. working to discover, produce, market, and deliver through consumers today's energy and tomorrow's energy technology. thank you for the opportunity to speak to you today. i'd like to address right up front the issue that's on many americans' minds, the rising cost of energy, particularly the cost of gasoline. because fuels are refined from crude oil, the biggest impact is the price of crude oil. everything from weather to politics and the global economy determines the price of oil a the fuels made from it. weak economic conditions in 2008 and ninth -- 2009 lowered demand, which helped push prices down. now with world economic recovery on the way, demand is on the rise, sending prices upwards. in addition, because oil is sold in u.s. dollars throughout much of the world, when the dollar becomes weaker, it takes more dollars to buy the same amount of oil. oil is a global commodity. so while we can't predict or control the price at the pump, we do know that we can increase the stability o
