the old fremont video store your media project medio gone to r.t.c. dot com. plan. to. bring you the latest in something instance technology from the realm. of the future covered. silly. silly. old weapons inspection process we will more than we can take and see all denied to see return of inspectors would provide no assurance whatsoever to a limb an eight by inspection is quite frankly a fool's errand on the contrary there is a great danger that it would provide false comfort that saddam was somehow back in

his box we had all of us that between the original unscom inspections and the unmovic inspections you destroyed with those inspections ninety two probably ninety five percent of the iraqi arsenal the first gulf war destroyed almost nothing. and you know post-war u.s. battle damage assessments confirm that weapons inspectors were a fact if they for saddam to get rid of this stuff. they had that country under control by ninety ninety eight at the latest those inspectors had discovered most of the weapons of mass destruction and the. iraqi programs at that point were essentially at an end before the war in iraq the united nations inspectors told us. that that i've been saying. did not have nuclear weapons capability ironically the major effect of the invasion of

iraq in terms of weapons of mass destruction as to has been to show that the inspectors were right all along the inspection regime worked. it was the most intrusive inspection regime histories and it worked and formed the day that's another reason why we went to war for. these maniacs the courage of our enemies and weakening our troops' result and confusing the american people well you should listen to these protests because they're obviously hoping saddam hussein who would have guessed that you could build a massive international peace movement on the protection of sadam hussein and media is culpable for the misleading of the american public they bought into the bush

administration's rhetoric they don't understand that there was moral violence and immoral violence we use moral violence god bless this president he is truly a great man reducing troop morale confusing the american people involving our enemies they are absolutely committing sedition or treason as far as i'm concerned there's a huge difference between personal opinion and opinion which the grades and the bases are military in a time of war it's a disgrace i don't believe that mainstream media acted responsibly in regards to iraq you know i was be little i was called a traitor i was called crazy palos on of c.n.n. accused me of drinking saddam hussein's kool-aid for making accurate statements from response to aluminum tubes people out there accusing you of drinking saddam hussein's co i thought i'm an idealogue and i'm a republican idealogue i'm actually a fairly conservative person who voted for george w. bush but i don't allow my ideology to get in the way of the facts and the reality of my duties and responsibilities as an american citizen the media is supposed to

be the fourth estate but they decided to completely climb in bed with the administration on this in a way the administration constructed a box were and that was that box had all the information there there was no discretion wanted to or the media and the public and congress care what they would do is you to have the iraqi national congress. taking bogus defectors the information from them getting them to the pentagon and the iraqi national congress then giving them to the journalists and they said if you don't believe us iraqi national congress call the pentagon so you have the circular reporting and you had the new york times admitting that it was using one source for all of its information and weapons of mass destruction and it was as you know self affirming by going to the pentagon which to put the stuff on paper it was a lot of exaggerations partial information sometimes little information but on balance a very one sided view of a rockstar program and

a lot of these stories the journalist didn't want to look into because the editors told them to run with wouldn't be supportive of the administration it's a patriotic thing to do i think that there was an early media too much of of in a sense getting into the upcoming war and not enough look eric do we really need to go there were some journalists out there raising the alarm bells the seymour hersh is the walter pincus of the world but unfortunately those great investigative reporters there are usually exiled when the heat is on and it's only after the fact that they end up being praised and given the pats on the back and the excitement was to make the case to go to war you know to show that you know now was the controversy to the media parties you know it was the titillation of wm d. here it's not that not there to the ration of or the conflict of tacky administration both the washington post the new york times could very conservative

bettors that support of the white house on its. please the people of the united states and the friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an hour regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder his regime has an active program to acquire and develop nuclear weapons and let there be no doubt about it we know for a fact that there are weapons there. there are a group of people who for many years had advocated going after saddam hussein and they pushed us hard and of course raw intelligence data can be interpreted in a lot of different voices i'm sure experts who talk to you and so there were a group of people i think that were adamant that this was the right course to pursue the.

eight. elite. elite. please please keep. the so. please keep. elite. elites. so some least sleep.

why did the administration so dramatically underestimate the cost of this war we did not have perfect foresight and two we were going to find in iraq. with the costs of the war rising and the search for weapons of mass destruction going nowhere the administration turns to david kay his work is being carried out into the direction of dr david kay a respected scientist and former u.n. inspector was leading the weapons search in iraq we are determined to take this apart we have a tremendous group of dedicated american men and women involved in this with the best assets of the intelligence community and provide to dr kay and his team are

making progress we have had found a large body of continuing activities and equipment. we are surprised by new advances that we're making network of laboratories and safe houses controlled by iraqi intelligence and security services and unlike pre-war intelligence we don't require someone just to say something we actually need the physical evidence equipment suitable for continuing chemical and biological weapons research. david kay is not going to be done with this for quite some time david kay wants more time and he says it could take another six to nine months to make a definitive finding ministration is asking congress for hundreds of millions more six hundred million dollars to fund a continuing search we have not yet found shiny pointy things that i would call a weapon before we can draw from conclusions we need to let the iraq survey group complete its work. we were all wrong probably in my judgment.

and that is most disturbing. it's inevitable that there will be an outside commission appointed on an issue of this gravity public hearings and we will get to the bottom of this and we will let the chips fall where they may democracy you have an obligation your obligation is to speak truthfully to the public that's the basis of civility and our belief in our system of government it is going to require an outside effort probably through an outside commission to deal with some of these very serious problems is i think explanations are important in a democracy this whole episode has caught the white house completely by surprise they've become so fearful of admitting error that they stand up and defend things that only are face to face are untrue for president bush is being counted with calls for an independent investigation into how u.s. intelligence so badly misjudged iraq's capabilities before the war that the

president holding all the cards pointing all the people of your way accountable to him is a very fair if i would care to try to operationalize some a common side made about what was going wrong in iraq and so i said if you among other things that if you're going to do this you've got to treat it like an intelligence problem and that is not go looking for hidden weapons but going looking for the people who would be associated with hidden weapons one of the first things that worried me was we had a big army running through iraq and march and april. d.m.d. was not used against them. nor was it found that's sort of remarkable if they'd had large stockpiles i really believe in the jungle telegraph put the word out on street let people know what you're about to watch out offer and usually you'll get people coming to you around a weapons program if a weapons program exists you're going to find people people engaged in the production of technology engineering design people involved in protecting the

weapons people involved in moving them and people involved in preparing to use the weapons we found none of them we were running into fewer and fewer leads but look profitable and a lot of evidence that stacked up to explain something other than large stockpiles of weapons this committee has a special responsibility to the men and women of our armed forces to look at the prewar intelligence because planning for military operations is policymakers take data they interpret threat they assess risk and you talk about other deeply and how much more precisely at least it's left out of the public white paper of the sea any of us feel that the evidence so far leads only to one conclusion. what has happened was more than a failure of intelligence was a result of an appeal ation of the intelligence to justify decision to go to war secret societies have their own rules and. secret societies generally don't feel an

obligation to openly and democratically communiqué prime minister blair has set up a set somewhere a commission in great britain at his is going to report back in july right here is not going to be until march two thousand and five five months after the presidential election should the american people have the benefit of the commission before the election well the reason why we gave the time is because we didn't want to be hurried this is that this is a strategic look at the big picture look about the intelligence gathering capacities of the united states of america. if there are no weapons of mass destruction which there aren't if there are no ties with al-qaeda which they were and which they aren't maybe now there are. then why do we go to war. well all you need to do is go on the web and download

project for a new american century there you will find the video logical and the strategic underpinnings for this policy which was rejected by george bush the first which is really kewl out of town in those days became the devout policy of this government and was implemented starting with the war i felt in my last year in the pentagon that i felt it was a great deal of contempt for the constraints on a government that constitutionally is out. and i also felt that it was a contempt for the constitution and i only absorb this sense of contempt by association with with some of the so senior appointed civilians who are all neoconservatives who all believe in dominance who believe in preemption i believe in the military option as the first resort rather than the last resort they have very fixed indeed almost obsessive idea that in fact iraq is

a major actor in the world and a probable threat possibly a deadly threat to the united states this is a group of people who are essentially believe that might makes right. that the united states at this stage of history has unchallengable power and therefore responsibility to use it to. make the world over. the manner that we. think it ought to be made over i think behind the basic neoconservative philosophy is a considerable are against that american interests are the primary. goal of all american foreign policy and they seem to have a really serious added i'll not be interested in listening to what other people say about this subject so i don't think it's an accident at all. so much of the

justification turned out to be fallacious. misleading deliberately so they thought they had a place in history they were going to bring dad obviously a very dysfunctional arab peninsula as well as a rat and it will change history they believe they won the cold war. and they said right we won the cold war because we were tough with the soviet union we get tough with these people and they have become like us it is fair to say the iraq war was a diversion from. from the war on terrorism it certainly meant the tepee weren't paying as much attention to afghanistan as they should have and the resources that might have going into afghanistan ended up being focused morning if you if you attack another country with no justification people going to say women this is a war on terrorism this is a war on. this period was and this is colonialism you know and this is why it's

a distraction because you need the help of these people to get the view that the cia and the f.b.i. are lurking around the bazaars in the since the middle east and handcuffing people are assassinated just doesn't work you've got to have to help the locals to dan a fire these people and either put him in jail or remove him from the only person saddam was a threat to at this point as we saw in the army collapsed was to iraq he didn't have weapons of mass destruction he wasn't scaring anybody certainly wasn't scaring the iranians or the turks or the saudis or anybody else it was a state that was on the verge of failure now it is a failed state failed states because terrorism you know you can name afghanistan levanon somalia any time you think you create a vacuum where people flock to discontented to fight wars and some of the loddon

have been saying for years america wants to invade an arab country and i'll keep quiet and oil rich arab country. he's been saying this is part of his propaganda so what did we do after nine eleven we invade and the oil rich and occupy an oil rich arab country which was doing nothing to threaten us the only real connection is that having invaded iraq. we are very likely to make it a focus of terrorism we're likely to produce what the president has said iraq represents namely the central battlefield in the war on terrorism why because we sent a lot of americans into a place where they're sitting ducks for people who think the only good american is a dead one. iraq cannot be governed by americans ok what the intention is i don't care if

we truly want to build a democracy they cannot be ruled by foreign powers the only tool in the tool box the bush administration is military force military force is a very blunt instrument it just doesn't work we've created more terrorists in iraq and we haven't even solve the problem afghanistan one of the more ironic effects of the attack on iraq was. to buttress other countries in the conviction of the famous remark by any indian general after the first gulf war when he said listen this war is that if you if you have to fight the united states you better have nuclear weapons you don't want your president to be seen as a hot dog and when when your president gets into a job suit gets in the back of a jet and lands on an aircraft carrier and then waddles out with this little straps between his legs and that's not when you want a sign of kind of maturity and testosterone breasting through when you're talking

about. things so fundamentally important as something of a shock the war in sending young men and women to their deaths there is a sense in washington now that you can't raise. objections to this because you're not supporting troops in the field i would i would rapidly point out that unlike almost anybody i know that holds office in this country i've had two sons in uniform both of whom have been in combat and so i don't have to take any nonsense from anybody nor will i mark twain's definition of patriotism and patriotism is supporting your country all the time. and your government when it deserves it no i don't think it's patriotic to stand by and remain silent while your country stumbles into disaster of patriotism is the last refuge of sky. interests and i think these are scoundrels they have no argument now they have no defense for what

they did the country is in a terrible international security situation and i think it's terrible so they're attacking the patriotism of others. i know that the insiders have it all right mr b. is more likely the interstates it's more likely to be destroyed and if there is no criticism it was jefferson who said bad that our kind of government is not based on trust it's based on in fact suspicion to suggest that if you have a different viewpoint than any given an administration and or if you are not supporting the president and policies that may be highly erroneous i don't see that as patriotism at all in fact i would argue that. any patriot with integrity is going to speak out if he or she feels that that we're on the wrong course it's not unpatriotic to demand congress uphold its constitutional responsibility and guard

that corporation of war it's not unpatriotic to be very upset vocally upset when congress abrogates this constitutional responsibility by transferring the war powers authority to the president ited states as they did in october of two thousand and two thousand when you guys were working aspect of the dot coms i was out in iraq trying to get rid of saddam and almost got killed for it and besides i was going to jail so it doesn't take a whole lot of courage for me to come out against the war and i did at the beginning but i was studiously ignore when we did the first gulf war when i came out of baghdad in one thousand anyone i met with the president of states i met with the senior leadership of both parties and one thing that sticks with me to this day is extent to which each one of them. explained to me and their emotional terms the extent to which they had to plan their consciences. to come to the. solution how to vote on the use of force authorization it had been

a moral decision on their part it had been one that had kept them up at night is a thought their way through the us we owe our soldiers our sailors our airmen and our marines nothing less before we send them and sometimes the true patriot takes the unpopular course but helps their country avoid the stakes and even if they can't persuade that we thought right for me and america here is this amazing land of opportunity beauty of idealism hope it is a beacon to the world it's a place of fantastic people and what infuriates me more than anything else is that this administration has systematically slandered why all the black and the image of america to our friends and allies around the world having the authority and the ability to go and wage war is a very very solemn thing and we need to be done with care and we deliberate and

with genuine forethought and i think that none of that was present in a beat up to this entire what we now call enduring freedom. when going up or has no clothes you have to have the presence of mind and the courage to stand up and say emperor has no clothes. regime is seeking a nuclear bomb. is attempted to purchase a streeton juice for me you weapons production.
