time the likelihood that you re going to come back and say wow, i made a huge mistake, is lower. that s chance he s just sitting there saying i joined the right group. don t talk to me, i believe in what i joined. he s not a viable source there for information. but daveed,ky sleep better at night knowing he s off the streets. absolutely. i mean i think we can be glad about that. there s an interesting series of events with him being basically sent back to texas after, being apprehended in pakistan. there s some cooperation that was taking place there. he has valuable intelligence. and one other thing i would point out is that the u.s. has gotten quite a bit of valuable intelligence within the past few months. net it s helped to loop in other big fish in the al qaeda chain. gentlemen, we appreciate you joining us on this good friday thank you for your intelligence and your colorful language as always. chris, i ll send it over to you. as an easter gift to mudd. he does not want t
clown phenomenon. we go from bit players, daveed let s talk about the situation in texas it sounds like they netted a top al qaeda operative. a texas native he is going to be a valuable resource for intelligence will he not? that s something which i m a little bit more skeptical of unfortunately. the reason being that look he s in criminal court. and once someone gets mirandaized, everyone knows you stop talking. this is one situation where once you get someone into criminal court, they stop being a valuable resource unless a plea deal can be struck whereby he gives up valuable information for a lighter sentence. boy this is a lottery ticket for the intelligence folks, i would die to hear this guy talk. the problem is as soon as he lawyers up you know what that lawyer is going to say. stop talking. there s another psychological piece to this. he s been gone since 2007 in the midst of al qaeda. when you become ideologically turned for that long a period of
so this is an effort to get a target set, that s a little bit from their perspective, a little bit more legitimate than just a an innocent civilian. where do they stand as far as you re concerned, in terms of a threat within the organization these two? chump change. chump change. chump change. there s two sides to this coin. there s the good side of this. if you look at the criminal complaint and i ve read it these are no-talent clowns they made every mistake you could make. i feel like i should run a seminar for terrorists on how not to get into the claws of american security service. the problem with this and the reason people like me cringe is this is a volume business as daveed said there s so many of these people they can be low-talent but if you get hundreds of them and you miss two of them you got to do 100%. these are not serious players, but you got to worry when you get hundreds of them. when this goes to press later, his words not mine on the
we ve seen kids in the street. we ve seen men and women. the same day, people were spontaneously in the streets, demonstrating and shouting against terrorism. against isis. because we think most people think this san isis operation. and there is a will to stop this plague from invading the country. we re glad to see that show of support is coming from within the country. to his point, daveed let s talk about the claim that isis is saying yes, we take responsibility for it. yesterday i know you were sort of on the fence a little bit. what are you hearing from your sources? what have you come to determine? do you believe they re behind it? i do believe that they re likely behind it. the percentages tip favorably to them being behind the attack. they haven t dpalsly claimed an attack. there are few irregularities that give rise to questions. one is that isis is well known for putting together statements that are produced quite well.
to do with her time at state. her last campaign or her time at senate. she s been a very strong friend of israel particularly when she was a senator from new york and on the armed services committee. it s unlikely that in the bibi divide bibi/boehner divide is she there was strain between president bill clinton and bibi netanyahu at that time. the bad relation between obama administration and netanyahu is not exclusive to him. there have been tensions between that particular prime minister and other presidents in the past particularly bill clinton. let s talk about the speech and the timing. this was hillary clinton s last paid speech which essentially means we re in the run-up to the announcement she s running for president. not that we haven t been in the agree of run-up for years. what do you think it s going to mean for republicans? how do you think they re going to treat the former secretary of state in the next few weeks? they re going to treat her as a candidate. if
