everything john kerry said was right. everything. and some of it was even a bit visionary. the part about quote, engagement in the middle east economically, socially, culturally in a way that we haven't embraced. that carries more than a hint of seeing the possibility of the arab spring uprisings in thank you knee sha, yemen and syria that we are now so desperately trying to find a way to engage and embrace. as a president kerry would have had us begin doing six years ago. sunday night after a decade of nonstop war that has left us over 49,000 dead and wounded u.s. soldiers, costing in real economic terms something on the order of $4 trillion and the diplomat of our most sophisticated 21st century weaponry, osama bin laden was caught using the basic tools of police work interrogation, detective work, following up clues, piecing evidence and hunches together. eavesdropping, surveillance and finally, with over 100,000 troops in the neighborhood ready for action, sending only a couple of dozen of them to get the most important target in this decade of war. those navy s.e.a.l.s

senator john kerry yesterday said that he believes it's fundamentally unsustainable to keep pumping ten billion dollars a month into a war with no end in sight but he also said that he doesn't know one single serious policy person who thinks that a quick withdrawal is the right thing to do what's your take on that you think that we should draw it out over the next couple years or we should move past them i mean is that my friend john kerry may need to expand his group of advisors because there is no way the united states can continue to put one hundred to one hundred twenty billion dollars a year into afghanistan and when you look at the rate of withdrawal they're talking about now they may withdraw ten thousand troops or within the next year if you use that rate of withdrawal that means we'll be there for at least another ten years we can't afford there we can't afford spending another trillion dollars in afghanistan plus the added cost we have things to take care of here at home the adventure in afghanistan has long passed the time when it was proven to be a disaster we have to get ou

senator john kerry criticized bush for letting bin laden escape. john kerry actually had real experience making kill decisions in combat in vietnam, the war that rush limbaugh and george w. bush exercised their cowardly prerogatives of avoiding service in. john kerry did not exactly end bush's political career. glenn beck has now grown impatient. glenn beck thinks president obama should have taken one bow for killing osama bin laden then left the stage. here is beck from his radio show today. >> president obama is going to visit ground zero. george bush is not going to go with him. george bush turned down obama's invitation to go to the site because he wanted to stay out of the spotlight. i would think that maybe it's because you would need hand sanitizer afterwards because you'd feel so slimy after doing this. this is the first visit to ground zero that obama has made since he was a candidate. what is the occasion other than u.b.l.? is it just to sop up some more glory and take a victory lap? it's disgusting. >> i know. i know. you're thinking bec

you know, john kerry had one simple message to pakistan. he said, you need to decide what sort of country you're going to be, whether you're going to be a haven for terrorists. it's almost a moot question. pakistan is a haven for terrorists. osama bin laden was here. pakistan has hosted militant groups for decades now. it's part of the very fabric of the country. and at various times pakistan has either attacked or accommodated those groups depending on its circumstances and its capacity. what john kerry's looking for here, though, is support from pakistan to meet america's ends. and that is across the border into afghanistan. he wants pakistan to be able to disrupt the leadership of the militants here, to block off that border, to make america's efforts in afghanistan easier and eventually be able to draw down the troops. but anderson, it's so difficult because pakistan immediately after the osama bin laden raid, rather than look at what its own culpability may have been, was pointing the finger directly back at the united states, accusing

we're joined by senator john kerry. you've been to pakistan, you've met with the officials, you've helped sponsor the aid for all of the good reasons, but americans now want to know, what did we get for that, because it seems as though we could not risk informing them because we couldn't trust them. >> well, andrea, all of those are legitimate questions and i think they're going to have to be answered over the course of the next days. let me just begin by expressing my own admiration for the s.e.a.l. team six and the cia effort and the military efforts and the judgment here. this was a gutsy decision bit president. a lot of things could have gone wrong. they didn't, but all of us in america are unbelievably proud of what that s.e.a.l. team did and what all of the coordinating clandestine intelligence and military forces did to pull this off. secondly, i think it is really key to understand that this does have profound impact on a lot of things. and we're not sure yet exactly what all of that impact is on afghanistan, on

senator john kerry said he'll be meeting with president karzai. >> the question is, can we perform that mission more effectively? can we do it in a way with less troops, less footprints in afghanistan? >> reporter: back on meet the press, former cia director hayden argued now is not the time to ease up. >> our tempo should increase. this could be a we should press the fight. >> reporter: how we got to bin laden hotly debated and whether controversial interrogation techniques are justified. former secretary of defense rumsfeld. >> it's clear they worked and to have taken them away i think was mistake. >> reporter: and dick cheney with praise for president obama. >> you have to give him a lot of credit for making the decision to have the seal team 6 conduct the raid that got bin laden. no question that was his responsibility, and i think he handled it well. high marks for making that decision. >> reporter: melanie alnwick, fox 5 news. >>> coming up, redskins' former executive director weighs in on the draft. >>> mother nature is working for us. no shortage of sunshine in the week ahead. w

john kerry said that pakistan shares in this fight. pakistan has lost tens of thousands of people to terrorism. and he wants pakistan to decide what sort of country it wants to be, whether it wants to be a healthy democracy or a haven if for terrorists. but still no specific answer on what pakistani officials did or did not know about osama bin laden actually living inside the country. squon kerry said there was no evidence to suggest they knew and he wouldn't speculate either. for the moment, they're putting that to one side and just trying to get this relationship back on track. >> and the taliban is involved in this. there are stepped up talks with the taliban. tell us what that means. >> reporter: yeah, will is intriguing. reports coming out that the u.s. has been holding secret talks with the taliban to try to discuss ways of bringing them back into the fold particularly in afghanistan. now, apparently some of the discussions have already taken place in qatar involving one senior taliban official who is close to the taliban leader
