if you're just joining us a very warm welcome military life here in the russian capital top stories this. is handing out billions of dollars to egypt's temporary government just months after praising the financial growth under the previous regime the loan is meant to revive the country's economy but people there say it's unlikely to end up where it's needed. on a mediation mission to libya russia's envoy meets the opposition in a bid to put an end to the civil war because it comes as nato intensifies attacks

on the capital tripoli to pressure on colonel gadhafi. and it's the final countdown for an international trio of astronauts before their trip starts in less than four hours from now the russian soyuz rocket will propel them into orbit from the remote baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan. with a summit on the new stores in about fifteen minutes from now in the meantime america's eye on iran. echo of what happened over iraq that's the view pulitzer winning writer seymour hersh he's been telling r.t. that washington's ignoring its own intelligence because it's hell bent on finding nuclear weapons that it knows exist as a special interview next. pulitzer prize winner and legendary american investigative journalist seymour hersh is bust known for exposing the my lai massacre in vietnam and since then his investigations have continued to shake up washington from uncovering torture at abu ghraib to

exposing secret u.s. military operations overseas to his latest piece which pokes holes in the commonly held assertion here in washington that iran is developing a nuclear weapons program mr hurst is down with r.t. to just bust his latest story in the new yorker magazine were here he says the obama administration allowing fear and not facts are potentially disastrous foreign policy towards a wrong mr hurst thank you so much for sitting down with us based on your investigation is the united states wrong to assume the worst when it comes to iran if the fear is based on the notion that you know that some of our iran has a bomb or is going to get a bomb that's ridiculous because every bit of evidence they have it from their own intelligence community. that the people who talk with bieber go but no there's no weapons there we've known that for years we've been looking for years after years after years we support the sanctions program that's designed to stop the punishment

is it's aimed at stopping the iranians from doing something you know we know they're not doing for me and i wrote the article the analogy between what they're doing with obama's doing with iran is very close to what bush and dick cheney the vice president that did to iraq that is they they wanted to punish they wanted to make a case against iraq for probably six. and so we made a case about nuclear weapons we were they were talking about mushroom clouds make a case to go to war i don't i'm not suggesting these guys want to go to war i mean there are elements in america so big elements in israel that would would love to see us attack iran but that would be suicidal and. there's no actual evidence of the iranians developing a nuclear weapons program but why why the the fear mongering and the rhetoric whether it's the administration or the mainstream media there's no evidence that our weaponization there's no evidence anywhere i went you could you go to london you go to you go to you go to the french you could have been germans they are also the same thing we thought we still think they might want to go but we don't have

anything it should be open and shut we should move what we're not and so what you're seeing is them are knowing me and what i wrote and they're ignoring it up to a point there's always a group of pros that ignore stuff but the mainstream press basically they have their narrative. and they don't want to change the narrative i've been writing about the secret operations we've had inside iran in new york for about five years because they started in late zero four maybe zero five vice president cheney was convinced it was a secret facility somewhere underground in iran and so our special forces units were going in and we went in through herat in afghanistan we went into baluchistan . in pakistan we've been going into iran covertly with money and chemicals and support chemicals and i mean that price the family explosive materials we've been dealing with the chandeleur we've been dealing with the iranian kurds is you read dissident groups inside iran with the goal of trying to

trying to find. neutralizing their with their weapons program and finding their secret program we found nada nothing and now it's going to internal what i wrote about in the magazine is that in two major internal studies that's known as national intelligence estimates so the most echoes my documents we have in our government in terms of an assessments and they both said nothing there were the obama administration disagrees with you. i mean big deal i mean you know. i'm doing my job when that window in the white house is mad at me i could care less and by the way. from my point of view these guys are no more no more then no more straight with them than the bush white house was and that's a shocking thing to say but they're pretty much the same right as the mainstream media not reporting i get a lot of stuff from colleagues around the world were more open than american press is to its criticism of america but i asked somebody one of the guys from the boston

globe and i just said something a semantical got to write about you know pick you don't have to write my story pick up on it he said but we're not going to give two thousand words to the new yorker. so you do talk about there is now a sense with with the internet and everybody competing for the fewer and fewer dollars that are there is a sense of. economic competitiveness to but that's only part of what the real issue is the underlying main the is the white house controls things in a way that they always do and this white house is just as interested in controlling things that when somebody like me comes out you just kick me around there so and it's easy to do because everybody's very eager what you don't get now is you get perfectly professional stories representative you would be ministration but they're marketing anybody on the inside is telling them a different story and so we're stark we're stuck with the major newspapers reporting pretty much what the administration wants and so when somebody like me goes up against them. it's the same story that happens and this story is happening

every story i've done since nine eleven really every good one what so why didn't you come out with a piece that says iran is not the threat it's made out to be and you're suddenly considered a heretic it's not about me it's and was the institutional as i said they have a narrative and a narrative is iran is bad they are making bombs even if we can't find it we know it must be they're evil people and so what's the consequence for the american public if they're not aware that most american public is right there with twenty four hour cable more interested you know. stupid things from congress and. with the internet which is chronic and goes all the time has the united states taken the right course in responding to the so-called arab spring you know we have such a we view everything to an american prison you know everything's done and it's polemic . you believe that the sun revolved around us and we didn't regard that anyway.

look if you're an iranian going to middle east and you know what's going on in bahrain and you see the white house. iran. and criticize the run at the same time everybody in iran and everybody in the middle east is watching what's going on in bahrain and we think nothing how do you think that index will be. perceived. for us in the middle not the gulf anymore because we certainly betrayed the trust. in the streets of egypt when obama finally came in support of them there was there was who you know they were done with us they wanted him to board early and so. we've missed the boat on that those movements were probably the best tools we've had certainly better than the use of force that we've been using the night raids and all that stuff for the you know the renditions and yet he's you know we've marked that up so it's a it's a true mess this administration is focused on iran is the source of all the evil

iran is helping is it's helping the syrian mccardell right do what it does syria as if the sunni macabre in syria needs any help from anybody to get tough you know how to do it but president obama was elected because he was supposed to represent change response to chart this country down a different course than the bush administration oh come on come on don't get serious i mean come on through the election he's going to be reelected the only hope a lot of us have is that in a second term in such a break that a second term he'll be anybody could become but we could be thought he might be but he's got he's got he's got a you know he's got a real action. you could argue that he knows that getting some of it was great but he's going to be elected and the price of oil and jobs and when the oil for this heidi come against thinking becomes thinking right now because we're being we're paying for to have dollars for oil for gasoline a bit a gallon and so what's his big issue his big issue is he's clearly could be. it's

going to make nice to look the other way as they mutilate people around the middle east and spend their money because he wants two million barrels more a day of oil what's your assessment of the obama administration's handling of the afghanistan war yesterday. can actually be the double minus i mean you know everybody i'm told even the most committed hawk with the exception of general petraeus and other people have to see what they have to say i know nobody thinks we have any future in afghanistan the first three get out of there i was talking to somebody the other day. a very conservative very pro war person saying i just thought of another american life or only that we see in terms of america but in terms of the afghans. are you crazy no more it's not worth it. and what's going on there is ghastly just ghastly and it's so out of control those leaderships forward when you have a bunch of boys running around in fear of death you know from the land or the rock

of course is still unraveling or iraq as well as we talk day by day we're actually going to be probably obama's biggest problem next year and it's going to be a very tough call about whether he stays or goes with the troops and feet if you keep troops there you've got my card etc and those would be more extreme shia going after us and it's going to be bad you've reported on the vietnam war even porton conflicts throughout the years throughout the decades what happened to the learning curve the whole. journey to america. why there is no learning curve we don't learn from the past mistakes we have you spent your life exposing this but i'm also a realist the fact that a better is. that we could go into another country which we knew very little with no way in which i think we could change a society. going into it we think we could do that i mean was there a learning you know what they would learn what we learned from vietnam we went in there grenada we could even win that went very well you know that was sort of silly

when. there was an improvement in the press so i think when ronald reagan went into nicaragua salvadorian it was more criticism so i thought maybe we could learn something from it but the last ten years showed me nine eleven. part of it was america want to pay back we were scared but. we said we you know i would argue that the american press totally failed after nine eleven we became george was bush's cheerleader and it's part of instead of looking critically at things and that's happening now to mr hurst thank you so much for your time. in one thousand nine hundred two dr ralph main street university of pennsylvania said what if i can take the gene responsible for growth in human beings and put it
