i'm out of iraq. the american people wanted out of iraq. >> because a lot of people are wondering, the president of the united states did not have enough strength, enough power, to tell al maliki, you know what, this is the deal, you should do it. al maliki felt strong enough he could tell the president of the united states, not happening. >> or he said he couldn't dlooifr his own congress. the argument, can anyone deliver someone's parliament for him. the answer is no. >> all those shiites in iraq don't want any involvement. thank you. >>> the republican presidential candidates aren't the only ones raising red flags about the u.s. withdrawal from iraq. i'll talk to a leading obama critic in the senate about her worst fears. in the chaos of gadhafi's capture, how did he really die? we have new evidence calls for an international investigation and the vice president talks about rape and causes a fire storm. the link he made between crime and politics. way ♪ ♪ it's just how i want to do it ♪ ♪ c

we will develop a partnership with iraq but obviously iraq is sovereign. it has made a decision that we can't agree on the conditions of a continued u.s. presence. so we will work on support a different way. >> in terms of where we go from here, i want to turn for a moment to the other big story this week, of course, which is the dead of moammar gadhafi. i think there is a case to be made. i don't necessarily hugh to this case but there is a case to be made that this week represents a kind of app pargy of barack obama's foreign policy. this is two great defining moments in the foreign policy. the first is the final end to the gadhafi regime in a liberal internationalist intervention that was approved by the u.n. security council with the arab league on board and the other is drawing to a close as he said he would in the campaign, the end of the iraq war. what is your feeling about the performance of the obama administration's foreign policy and what this week says about it. >> it is a fascinating contrast as you just detailed. we will have spent somewhere

the president of iraq, the talibani, the prime minister of iraq, mr. maliki, has spent years in iran. they were funded by iran. they speak fluently. they have close relations with the leader of the qods force, so the idea that they would not have some kind of close connection and the way in which the united states entered this almost plindly assuming that because we were the liberators and we were getting rid of a bad guy, all of iraq would rise in our support. just shows that there was both a strategic and a tactical level a game very badly played and now we are reaping the rewards of that or the consequences of that. i don't think there was much the obama administration would do at this point, because -- and there were many forces within iraq that did want to do the deal with united states, just not enough. and so we face a situation where we will have to redouble our efforts politically and diplomatically. but i tell you something, in this part of the world, wolf, there's nothing -- nothing helps soft power more than hard power. in other words, if y

from libya to iraq. where do you think the republican presidential candidates will be going as the campaign progresses in these subjects? >> you've had both romney and huntsman making speeches on the subject and frankly they didn't answer all of the questions that people have because they were in conflict. at least romney's statements have been in conflict. somewhat ambiguous to his debate answers on the withdrawal pace where he suggested the president's withdrawal pace would be too precipitous and based on i don't know what evidence saying we should be ending the war and focusing on home. so there have been differing statements from the various republicans along the way. i think one of the things that rachel was pointing out was that barack obama became the nominee of the democratic party precisely because as a senator in 2002, he opposed a war that hillary clinton voted for. and if that had not happened, he might not have trounced her in iowa. and that then led to, yes, he fell behind in new hampshire,

of iraq with their help. proud of their success and knowing that the american people stand united in our support for our troops. that is where it is notorious for its iraq war and this isn't largely a result of iraqi leaders refusal to give us troops immunity from prosecution in iraqi courts the americans have refused to stay without it now there has been talk that of the forty thousand or so troops in iraq about three or four thousand would stay to help with training but iraqi prime minister nuri al maliki told president obama just want enough votes by the iraqi parliament to allow this to happen getting out of iraq certainly a promise made by candidate barack obama won many people say propelled him to pass hillary rodham clinton back in the primaries who he constantly reminded people voted to authorize the war in the first place so we want to dig deep into both the history of this and look ahead to the future and what this means on a global scale earlier i spoke to michael bryant he is the author of america

"nightly news" begins now. captions paid for by nbc-universal television >>> good evening. i'm kate snow in tonight for brian. after nine years of bloody war costing thousands of american lives and hundreds of billions of american dollars, president obama says it is ending. the last american troops in iraq are packing up and getting out by the end of the year. home, he says, in time for the holidays. it was march of 2003 when president george w. bush announced the start of the war against iraq with shock and awe. saddam hussein's rule soon collapsed. the pres

and the end of the iraq war. now libya, gadhafi has had an end of his life almost as bizarre as the life that he had. he was beaten up yesterday by -- by rebels. he was shot by the rebels, ultimately executed by the rebels. today those rebels have put gadhafi's body in a refrigerated meat locker in a shopping center and are allowing people in in small groups, 10, 15 at a time to view his body which has been put on a bloody mattress. he was pulled out of a drain pipe and now put in a refrigerated container. this is the person who ruled libya for 42 years and lived in palaces. so, it has been a remarkable turn of events, one that sends shockwaves across the middle east. in searya, tyria the protesterst on the streets today saying the syrian president is next. >> obviously the reaction from leaders is to clamp down because they know whether won't be a fire trial or justice for a deposed dictator. >> they don't want to end up in that refrigerated locker. >> exactly. incredible events. the politics of this, we are in

troops from iraq. perspective from fareed zakaria, in tehran, preparing for an interview with the president of iran, ahmadinejad. a simple question up front, u.s. troops leaving iraq by the end of the year. iran has to view this as a victory. >> iran's views, whether happening in iraq from a geopolitical prism. the u.s. and iran are competing for influence in iraq. they have viewed it that way from the start of the fall of the regime and they have had -- iran has long ties to many groups in iraq. many of the kurdish leaders including the current president of iraq was in iran. many of them speak fluent persian. as he fines things get dit for him in iraq he head backs to iran. so all of these political officials have been sustained by iran and as american troops draw down, iran's influence can only increase. >> and this sounds incredibly crass, but is this a fair bottom line? that after almost nine years, billions of of dollars in u.s. money and 4500 lives lost of brave u.s. servicemen and women, that ir

troops in iraq home by the end the year, and only a handful of troops will stay behind to assist iraq in arm sales. >>> in iraq we've succeeded in our strategy to end the war. last year i announced the end of our combat mission in iraq. we've already removed more than 100,000 troops and iraqi forces have taken full responsibility for the security of their own country. thanks to the extraordinary sacrifices of our men and women in uniform, the iraqi people have the chance to forge their own future. and now the rest of our troops will be home for the holidays. >> president obama's decision to end the war in iraq means the next couple of months will be filled with welcome home ceremonies. here's what some of the troops and military families are already saying. >> not only is my son coming home safe and sound to us as a family, our family is whole again. and i'm very thankful for the job that him and all his fellow soldiers have done for us. >> time to bring our boys home. it's time for them to come home to their families. they shouldn't have to be over there. >> coming home over the holi

wasting its cash in building a false democracy in iraq. i. were sitting down with peter van buren state department foreign service officer who a few years ago had it anyway raqi reconstruction team then he came back home and wrote a book titled we meant well how i helped lose the battle for the hearts and minds of the iraqi people and now he says the state department one team fired because of the book what what's in the book that they don't like so much stuff i'm sure when you throw parties the clowns they sometimes get angry state department is a lot like the mafia you don't talk about the family outside the family and the state department was i think bothered by the fact that i told the true story of what happened in iraq which contradicts what they've been putting out through the media for almost eight years now tell me a little bit more about the projects that you were involved in as part of this nation building a team that in the sponsored by the united states why do you think those projects failed around two thousand and seven number of

christians and others will lose interest in iraq? >> i do think iraq is going to stay in the news. they have gotten so chumy with iran. that spells a bigger problem down the road. gary, we may have accidentally recreated the persian empire if iran and iraq get back together. for believers in america, pray for the iraqy believers and iranian believers, they need it. >> what do christians and others need to do for iraqi brothers and sisters? >> intercession is important. they can get online and help church planters that have very little resources. i heard from an iraqi leader, they are all the sudden doubling the rent. he maybe out on the street with his family. lots of financial needs, they can get on websites, e-3 partners reaching out to people in iraq. >> tom doyle, thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> you can find out more information about how to help iraq's christian, go to our website cwnews.org. >>> libya's transitional leaders say sharia law will be the basis. mustafa abdel-jalil declared libya a liberated nation three days after the death of moammar gadhafi. the

that is how america's military efforts in iraq will end. >> for as long as there has been an iraq war, for as long as there have been people arguing in favor of starting a war in iraq, there have been people on the other side of it arguing against it. one of those people arguing against it in very early stages was the man who announced today that that war was ending. and when president obama said this afternoon that it was ending, quote, as promised, he was talking about himself. about his own promise to the american people that he would be the president to end the war in iraq. president obama's opposition to the war went back years, to the beginning of it. to a now famous 2002 speech he gave as a state legislator in chicago. >> i don't oppose war in all circumstances. when i look out over this crowd today, i know there is no shortage of patriots or patriotism. what i do oppose is a dumb war. >> five months later, president george w. bush ordered american forces to invade iraq through kuwait. because we were told over and over again iraq was responsible for 9/11 and iraq had weapons o

what does it mean for iraq? >> well, i think the iraqis made it inevitable by resisting any legal grant of immunity to american troops. that's self-evident. i do think that it has very ominous implications. i think a tripwire of a few thousand american troops, combat capable, if not actually engaged in combat, could make the difference or could have made the difference in offering a sort of stabilizing factor for iraq at a period which is going to be fundamentally unstable. i think it's worth remembering that nothing politically has been resolved in iraq. all or almost all of the sectarian geographic, regional, religious, political, ideological disputes that have plagued the american presence in iraq remain unresolved. without american troops there as a guarantor of at least a final degree of stability, i think you could see a descent into instability pretty quickly. >> robin, do you agree with that? and also, why wouldn't the iraqis grant immunity to a few thousand troops? >> well, immunity is a big issue, and

america's war in iraq will be your. next two months for troops in iraq tens of thousands of the packet there deal. you just saw that we showed you again so here's another question what happened to nato as a original purpose in libya to protect civilians not to kill gadhafi so is the libyan leader dead will the new government be there what external forces had in mind r t is live on the ground in tripoli. there's a bad state of civil liberties and strange a state some say is even worse than under the bush administration so well the former president sent prisoners to one ton of mowbray where they were often tortured is this president stepping up the game by skipping the torture and just only straight for the kill. it's friday october twenty first four pm in washington d.c. i'm christine and you are watching our team all our top story today the united states will withdraw all troops from iraq by the end of this year president obama says all troops other than about one hundred sixty active duty soldiers attached to the u.s.

in iraq we'll have more troop in honduras than iraq. and it is dangerous because iran is waiting in the wings. they are looking to have a dominate influence in iraq and it will not be good going forward. >> chris: as secretary clinton said in the program. we tried to create a sovereign country and at the end of the negotiations the malaki regime decided they wanted us out. >> guest: i heard what the secretary of state said and that's true. they are a sovereign nation. but again, any time the united states has done this historically. we left troops behind to secure the peace. this was done in the insistence of iraq. they didn't want a american presence it is clear to all. because iran doesn't want an american presence. if america is there they can put up resistance to iran. there is no resistance and iran will have a clear hand and field to exude their dominance and influence in iraq. that will not be good in the region and this will allow them for forays in the area and that is dangerous. >> chris: congresswoman, from the very start you

with iraq. here's what we are hearing according to several different media reports, that the president will come out this just a few moments and announce a complete drawdown of troops out of iraq. now, a little background on this. over the weekend we heard about some disagreement between our country and the iraqis, and what it seemed to be about is the iraqis saying they were not going to give immunity to any of our soldiers that were left after the end of this year. now, remember, those reports of how many would be left vaird from thousands to tens of thousands. but if iraq was not going the give you our troops immunity ouf our court systems, then our troops could be very vulnerable, obviously, if they stayed in this country. so, again, here's the news reports, and we don't have confirmation, though we're working on this for you right now, that the president will announce today that the u.s. will completely withdraw it troops there iraq by the end of this year. we'll have that statement live wh

how is iraq going to defend itself? >> reporter: well, one u.s. military official said "we'll find a way." and he specifically mentioned sending civilian contractors to iraq to do the training, bringing iraqis to the united states to train, and even sending u.s. troops back into iraq to conduct exercises. >> pelley: david, thanks very much. that disagreement over immunity allowed the president to say today that he kept his promise to end the war. few would have expected it early in his administration, but most of the president's successes have come as commander in chief. we asked norah o'donnell to look into that. norah? >> reporter: scott, the president's announcement today to end the war in iraq, one day after the death of libyan leader moammar qaddafi, is just the latest in a series of foreign policy milestones. it is remarkable for a president whose own foreign policy credentials were repeatedly questioned when he was campaigning for the job of commander in chief. >> i pledge to bring the war in iraq to a responsible end for the sake of our na

announced the end of the iraq war. >> after nearly nine years, america's war in iraq will be over. over the next two months, our troops in iraq, tens of thousands of them, will pack up their gear and board convoys for the journey home. today i can say that our troops in iraq will definitely be home for the holidays. >> but we're not leaving because the pentagon strategically decided it was time to get out. iraq is effectively kicking us out by virtue of their refusal to authorize u.s. troops' immunity in their country beyond the end of the year. beyond that point, iraq refused, and so, hey, it sounds like the war is over. president obama says the u.s. is moving forward in a position of strength, but come january 1st, literally, when it comes to iraq and particularly iran's ambitions to project its power into the vacuum left by the loss of saddam hussein, the training wheels will be off. we start with nbc news foreign correspondent, ayman mohyeldin, and retired army colonel, medal of honor recipient, jack jacobs. it's an honor to see both of you. your gut reaction on the news, jack?

we went to iraq, afghanistan, then iraq, which i never understood going to iraq, logically. do you think the pattern was wrong, led by george w. bush? too much aggressive foreign policy? too hawkish? do you think so or not? >> don't need to relitigate. when it follow ours key national security interests like afghanistan, absolutely. what have we done in afghanistan? we've routed the taliban, we've dismantled al qaeda, we've killed osama bin laden, we had free elections in 2004. i say we've achieved our objective. it's time to come home. >> was iraq smart or not? >> i don't want to relitigate that, chris. a lot of us felt that it wasn't a good thing. and here we are. you make the best of it. you have to clean up the mess. you have to move on and secure our interests. and that's where we are. >> i look at this campaign and the way it's gone to the republican side and i find a disconnect. i look at romney getting big numbers and i see no love for him in the party. i so no love for him among the other candidates. i see a guy who may well be the nomination the way nixon did in '6

part of iraq. are you suggesting that if iran were to try to take advantage at this moment, the u.s. would still have a military commitment, the message to iran being what? >> well, i think iran should look at the region. we may not be leaving military bases in iraq, but we have bases elsewhere. we have support and training assets elsewhere. we have a nato ally in turkey. you know, the united states is very present in the region. but let's also admit that iran has influence in iraq. always has, always will. but the iraqis themselves are a very proud people. they are proud of their nation. they're proud of their own future. prospects. so i don't think anyone should be mistaken about america's commitment to the new democracy in iraq that we have sacrificed so much to help them achieve. >> final point on iraq. this was cast as the president talked about this as a victory for the united states, as we withdraw troops. looking back now, as this war is coming to an end, you stand by your vote authorizing

leading off tonight, out of iraq. barack obama's campaign for president began with his opposition to the war in iraq. well, today, without the embellishment of a self-serving "mission accomplished" banner, president obama announced all american troops will be out of iraq by the end of the year. >> after nearly nine years, america's war in iraq will be over. >> wow. well, the president made the announcement one day after the killing of moammar gadhafi. that strengthened his bona fides on foreign policy and allowed him to say to the republicans, essentially, go ahead, try to oppose me on this one. plus, castro convertible. maybe we now know why senator marco rubio keeps insisting he's not a candidate for vice president. rubio has dined off the story that his parents fled fidel castro's cuba. now we learn they fled batista's cuba, years before castro took power. rubio's explanation, such as it is, simply doesn't pass the sniff test. how does he survive this bit of revisionist history? >>> also, herman cain is against abo

commander in iraq wanted upwards of 15,000 troops in iraq next year. the white house talked about three to five thousand. why is president obama pulling out of our troops out? >> chris, i think we should put this into the appropriate historical context. first of all, president obama said that combat troops would leave iraq by the end of this year. but before he ever said that, the bush administration also committed to withdrawing all troops by the end of this year. so you have a bipartisan commitment to withdraw combat troops and that was viewed as appropriate given the development of the iraqi security forces. but we always made clear we were open to discussions with the iraqis if they wanted some kind of continuing presence. and what we have agreed to is a support and training mission similar to what we have in countries from jordan to colombia and we will be working with the iraqis. we will also have a robust diplomatic presence and we will fulfill what are the requests that the iraqis have made to us. >> chris: if it were the general order of busin

troops in iraq. one of the ways pallicy did it, he put in the poison pill and said we are not going to allow, the question you asked your guest, the iraqis were not going to allow legal immunity for our troops. that is a nonstarter for the americans, some american troops gets involved, involved in a shooting defending himself, does he submit to an iraqi court, so that was a way for the iraqis do not make a deal. >>trace: and putting this yet up that just came in from speaker boehner saying and i quote, "american forces not only freed earthquake from a vicious tyrant but under the strategy developed and implemented by the generals and the leadership of president bush and president obama ended a violent terrorist insurgency that threatened the iraqi people and provided an opportunity fort iraqi government to build the capacity needed to effectively meet the needs of the country." so he is saying that he thinks, okay, well, maybe iraq is secure and the question people are asking, what about iran? how do

troops out of iraq. you said he should go back to the negotiating table, sit down again with the malicki government. to do what? >> well, president obama's team says that they got what they wanted in iraq, chris. they got absolutely nothing. they got their hats handed to them. here weed a extended over $800 billion. worse we have expended over 4400 american lives and we have nothing to show for it. we have essentially been kicked out of iraq by the people that we extended our blood and our press and toil to liberate. we don't have any troops left. interesting any time that we ejected a dictate ernie where in the world we left troops behind. after iraq we will have more troops left in honduras than we have in iraq. what is more dangerous is the fact that iran is waiting in the wings. they are looking to have a dominant influence in iraq and this won't be good going forward. >> chris: as secretary clinton said, i hope you heard it at the beginning of the programs one of the reasons we did what we did in ir

troops leaving iraq. as we heard the president say, being home for the holidays is certainly good news for folks here at home. but explain to me, though, we know that the u.s. and iraq didn't exactly see eye to eye with regard to an immunity issue because the u.s. wanted to have several thousand troops remain. >> that's right. there was a split, on both sides. there were some iraqi leaders who wanted a security of having a small u.s. force there. but ultimately it mainly came down to this issue of legal immunity. and what that means is, right now iraq and the u.s. have an agreement that american troops are not subject to iraqi law. they would fall under the uniform code of military justice right now. well, that agreement expires at the end of the year. and to set up a new agreement or to extend that agreement, iraq would have had to have agreed to grant that same immunity going forward. the iraqi politicians and parliament were not able to okay that or to agree to that and the u.s. government and by exten

minister of iraq. he said they in total agreement moving forward. republican have warned a draw down could destabilize iraq. >> i think there's a greater risk of renewed violence, continued iranian penetration into iraq that is already happening in southern iraq. >> reporter: the president said as of january 1st, the u.s. will have a normal relationship with iraq. military training and assistance may continue as it does in other countries. >>> congressman barbara lee said she is pleased with the decision to withdraw from iraq. after today's announcement she said we should follow the lead of the people of iraq and the united states who overwhelmingly agree that it is time for the remaining u.s. armed forces to return home. >>> u.s. officials say an american predator drone took part in the airstrike that hit the convoy carrying muammar gadhafi. it is not clear who or what killed him. gadhafi's body is in a commercial freezer at a shopping center as libyans figure out where and when to bury the dictator.

combat mission in iraq. we already removed more than 100,000 troops, and iraqi forces have taken full responsibility for the security of their own country. thanks to the extraordinary sacrifices of our men and women in uniform, the iraqi people have the chance to forge their own future, and now the rest of our troops will be home for the holidays. >> more criticism coming from senator lindsey graham of south carolina. i feel all that we have worked and fought for and sacrificed for is for nothing. i fear this decision has set in motion events that will come back to haunt our country. >>> a look at stories making headlines. look and listen to this. this is heavy fighting that continues in syria. security forces continuing their crackdown on armed civilians this is youtube video of a neighborhood and homes well known for their opposition to the assad regime. the syrian military is believed to be firing on homes in this neighborhood. >>> the man first in line for saudi arabia's thrown has died in a new york hos

on day 3,139 of the war in iraq, president obama announced it's over. american troops will be home by the end of the year. the war began as a hunt for weapons of mass destruction which were never found. then the u.s. found it in the middle of a civil war, caught between two branches of islam. on this historic day, we have reports from david martin and norah o'donnell. first david who's at fort brag, north carolina. >> reporter: good evening, scott. fort bragg is the home of the 82nd airborne which currently has 3,500 troops in iraq. they'll all be home for the holidays because today the president pulled the plug on negotiations that could have kept some american troops in iraq past the end of the year. >> the rest of our troops in iraq will come home by the end of the year. after nearly nine years, america's war in iraq will be over. >> reporter: for better or worse, the military operation which began with shock and awe in march of 2003 and descended into the mayhem of civil war is really going to end. even though both americans an iraqis agree there ar
