international trio of astronauts before their trip to the stars and that's in two hours the russian soyuz rocket propelled them into orbit from the remote baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan. about another sunday for you in fifteen minutes from now in the meantime americans are in iran as a warning echo of what happened over iraq and that's the view of put it so willing right up seymour hersh he's been telling r.t. that washington's ignoring its own intelligence because it's hell bent on finding nuclear weapons and it knows and exist especially into the next. pulitzer prize winner and legendary american investigative journalist seymour hersh is gus known for exposing the my lai massacre in vietnam since then his investigations have continued to shake up washington from uncovering torture at all the grob to exposing secret u.s. military operations overseas to his latest piece which pokes holes in
2:32 pm
a commonly held assertion here in washington that iran is developing a nuclear weapons program mr hurst sits down with r.t. to discuss his latest story in the new yorker magazine were here he says the obama administration of allowing fear and not facts dictate a 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 they fear is based on the notion that you know that's our iran has the bomb or is going to get a bomb soon that's ridiculous because every bit of evidence of it from their own intelligence community. that the people that talk of bieber go but no there's no weapons there we've known that for years we've been looking for years there for years and years we supported stations program that's designed to stop the punishment is. aimed at stopping the iranians from doing something you know we know
2:33 pm
they're not doing to me and so i wrote the article the analogy between what they're doing what obama's doing with iran is very close to what bush and dick cheney to vice president have been good to iraq that is they say they want to punish they want to make a case against iraq they didn't like their politics. and so we made a case about nuclear weapons we were if you remember they were talking about mushroom clouds making 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 at all of weaponization there's no evidence anywhere i went you could you go to london to go to you go to you go to the french you go to germany they also they say we thought we still think they might want to go but we we don't have anything it should be open and shut we should move on but we're not and so what you're seeing
2:34 pm
is they're mamai me and what i wrote and they're ignoring it to a point where there's always a group that those that ignore stuff but the mainstream press basically they have their narrative. and they don't want to change america i've been writing about the secret operations we've had inside iran in the new yorker for about five years because they started in late zero four maybe zero five vice president cheney was convinced there was a secret facility somewhere underground in iraq and so our special forces units were going in and we went in through herat and in afghanistan we went into baluchistan. in pakistan we've been going into iran covertly with money and chemicals and support chemicals by name by plastic bombing explosive materials we've been dealing with john della we've been dealing with the iranian kurds the easier sitting groups inside iran with the goal of trying to trying to find. neutralizing their with their weapons program and finding their secret program
2:35 pm
we've got nothing and now it is going to internal what i wrote about in the magazine is the two major internal studies that known as national intelligence estimates sort of the most secular state documents we have in our government in terms of an assessment and they both said nothing there but the obama administration disagrees with your assessment oh yeah i mean big deal i mean you know. i'm doing my job when the white house is mad at me i could care less by the way but from my point of view these guys are no more no more they're no more straight with us than the bush white house was and that's a shocking thing to say with they're pretty much the same lie as the mainstream media not reporting this i get a lot of stuff from colleagues around the world were more open than the american press is to its criticism of america but i have somebody one of the guys from the boston globe guy. who just said something nice to me is that why don't you write about it you know you don't have to write my story but pick up on it he said we're
2:36 pm
not going to give two thousand words to the new yorker. so you do talk about there is now a sense. with the internet and everybody competing for the fewer and fewer dollars that are out there there's a sense of. economic competitiveness too but that's only part of it the real issue with the on the line i mean 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 when somebody like me comes out you just kick me around and so and it's easy to do because everybody's very eager if what you don't get now is you get perfectly professional stories representing the view would be an illustration but they're marketing anybody on the inside is telling them a different story and so we're stuck 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 on this story it's happening every story i've done since nine eleven really a good one. so why didn't you come out with
2:37 pm
a piece that says iran is not of the threat it's made out to be and you're suddenly considered a heretic it's not about me it's almost it's a confessional as i said they have a narrative and the 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 of this most american public is right there with twenty four hour cable more interested you know the latest stupid thing some congressman did. 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 prism you know everything that it's polemic you know for me who believe that the sun revolved around us and we didn't revolve around that anyway. but look if you're an iranian and you in the middle east and you know what's going on in bahrain and you see the right house.
2:38 pm
and criticize the rot at the same time everybody in iran and everybody in the middle east is watching what's going on a more rain and we think nothing how do you think it effects have to be a partner. for us to build not the gulf anymore because we simply betrayed the trust. in the streets of egypt when obama finally came and supported him there was there was hooting you know they were done with us they wanted him to the border 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 and. you know the renditions and yet he's you know we've knocked it out so it's a it's a true mess this administration is focused on iran is the source of all evil with iran it's helping it's helping the syrian what do we do what it does in syria as if
2:39 pm
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 told c'mon c'mon don't get serious i mean come on. election we're going to be reelected the only hope a lot of us have is that in a second term you such a break i had a second term so we need to have become the link of the story maybe but he's got he's got he's got it you know he's got a real action. you could argue that he knows that getting some of the guard is great but he's going to be elected with the price of oil and jobs and when the oil is this high the economy is tanking because he's thinking right now because we're paying for it after i was for oil for gasoline a gallon and so what's his big issue is big issue because he's got to convince the saudis that it's going to look the other way is the people around the middle east
2:40 pm
and spend their money because he wants to million barrels more a day of oil what's your assessment of the obama administration's handling of the afghanistan war ghastly. the double minus i mean you know everybody. i'm tell you 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 who 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 the thought of another american life or only we see it in terms of america is that in terms of being here afghans drives you crazy no more it's not worth it was one more life and what's going on there is gas like there's gas like it's it's out of control it's you know it's good leadership forward when you have a bunch of boys running around in fear of death you know from a landmine although iraq of course is still unraveling or iraq as well as we talk
2:41 pm
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 if you keep troops there he's got i thought a starter and those would be more extreme shia going after i think it's going to be reported on the vietnam war even foreign conflicts throughout the years throughout the decades what happened to the learning curve hole. when you mary. what there is no learning curve we don't learn from the past mistakes we have you know your life exposing that but i'm also a realist the fact they were better instead. that we could go into another country which we knew very little with no language and think we could change a society. going into it we think we could do that i mean was there alone we could you know what could we learn what they would learn from vietnam we went in the grenade or we could even win that one very well you know that was sort of silly so when. there was an improvement in the press i think when one of the reagan went
2:42 pm
into nicaragua salvadorian there was more criticism so i thought maybe we'd learn something from you but the last ten years showed me nine eleven. part of it was america want to pay back we were scared but. the reason we you know i would argue that the american press totally failed after nine eleven we became george's bush's cheerleader and his partner 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 minster at university of pennsylvania said what if i can take the gene responsible for growth in human beings and put it into a mouse. on main risk issues
