For decades, American policymakers have come to view the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as an indispensable ally in the Middle East, committing billions of taxpayer dollars to support Jordan's budget, economy, and military. Indeed, Jordan's Peace Treaty with Israel; its strategic position between Israel, Iraq, Syria, and Saudi Arabia; and its pro-American military and intelligence services remain critical to U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. And yet, challenges inside this relationship are reaching alarming levels. From harboring one of the FBI's most wanted terrorists and inciting violence against Israel, to a member of its parliament facing charges for trafficking guns and gold into Israel, Jordan's recent behavior has U.S. policymakers considering their options. Filling in for host Cliff May is Rich Goldberg, senior advisor at FDD. To discuss U.S.-Jordan relations, he's joined by FDD Senior Vice President for Research Jonathan Schanzer and Joe Truzman, research analyst at FDD's Long War Journal.

One year ago, the U.S. military, under orders from the White House, allowed the Taliban to re-take control of Afghanistan. The withdrawal was poorly planned. The evacuation of Americans and American allies was chaotic and, for some — including 13 American service members — fatal. One year later, what's the status of Afghanistan? What's the status of the Taliban's ally, al Qaeda? What lessons have we learned? What lessons have we not learned? Joining host Cliff May to discuss: LTG (Ret.) H.R. McMaster, former White House National Security Advisor who now serves as Chairman of the Board of Advisors at FDD's Center on Military and Political Power (CMPP); Bradley Bowman, senior director of FDD's CMPP; and Bill Roggio, FDD senior fellow and editor of FDD's Long War Journal.

BioThomas Joscelyn is a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and is senior editor of FDD's Long War Journal, a widely read publication on counterterrorism and related issues. His main focus is on jihadism and how al-Qaeda and the Islamic State operate around the globe. He has served as a consultant for the FBI's Counterterrorism Division and has testified before Congress on more than twenty times.He has constructed dossiers on hundreds of terrorists during the course of his work. He's been described as one of “the most trusted authorities on the al-Qaeda network because of his encyclopedic knowledge of terrorist biographies.” In 2017, as a result of Thomas's efforts, the CIA declassified and released the vast majority of the files captured in Osama bin Laden's compound. Times1:00 - Intro to Tom2:00 - Bin Laden files & al-Qaeda intro7:15 - What was Bin Laden working on at the end?9:45 - The narrative that Bin Laden was “retired”15:30 - What is al-Qaeda?19:15 - Rationale for 9/1122:00 - Abdul Azzam23:15 - Ayman al-Zawahiri's role and is he still active?27:00 - Media exposure of Zawahiri31:00 - Day to day operations of al-Qaeda & Its history w/ ISIS37:00 - Would al-Qaeda leave us alone if we got out of the Middle East?43:00 - Congressional authorization of war48:45 - What would the world have looked like if we got Bin Laden at Tora Bora?51:15 - Challenging the narrative of “2001 invasion of Afghanistan was a success”52:45 - The Taliban in Afghanistan57:00 - Does the Taliban have the appetite to sponsor another Bin Laden?60:45 - What's the goal of al-Qaeda?1:02:30 - Final recap of narratives1:06:30 - American elites & leadership LinksTom's Long War JournalTom's twitterJeff's twitternarrativemonopoly.com

In recent weeks, the pandemic – the global spread of a deadly virus that originated in China – has dominated the news media, and therefore most of the public's attention. Among the important stories that have been marginalized: the on-going conflict in Afghanistan, as well as America's diplomatic attempts to end that conflict, or at least reduce America's participation in it. Discussing these and related issues with host Cliff May are Tom Joscelyn, FDD senior fellow, senior editor of FDD's Long War Journal, and a regular contributor to The Dispatch; and Bradley Bowman, senior director of FDD's Center on Military and Political Power. Brad served more than 15 years as an active duty U.S. Army officer, including time as a company commander, Blackhawk pilot, congressional affairs officer in the Pentagon, and staff officer in Afghanistan.

America's conflict with the Taliban in Afghanistan, now well into its second decade, is not going well. The U.S. military has called it a “stalemate.” During his farewell speech in early September, General John W. Nicholson Jr., who first oversaw the military effort for President Trump, said: “It is time for this war in Afghanistan to end.” But most wars don't end – they are won or they are lost. Has America lost this fight against a jihadi group closely aligned with al Qaeda? If so, what are the consequences? To answer these and related questions, FDD president and Foreign Podicy host Clifford D. May is joined by Tom Joscelyn, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and senior editor of FDD's Long War Journal, and Bill Roggio, also a senior fellow at FDD and editor of FDD's Long War Journal.        

Cliff May is joined by Bill Roggio and Thomas Joscelyn of FDD's Long War Journal to discuss their exclusive look into the Osama bin Laden documents, and how their findings could impact the future of counterterrorism strategy and policy.
