and the argument was that whatever could come out of a negotiation with the iranians. even more could be achieved by simply removing the regime me. in a way to sum up the argument however a principle in the bush administration said that we simply do not talk to evil. and as tony zinni said former central command commander if you like the rock you'll love the wrong that is a 10 to 14 year 3 to $4.00 trillion dollar invasion at the end of which the world western asia will look not much different than it does right now it'll still be in turmoil and still be in chaos and 70 plus 1000000 iranians will hate our living guts. i was in the pentagon and i wanted to see your inner circle very different the ideas that wolfowitz shared with me in surgery cheney in 9192

packages retool and want to know why dallas briefed people like president america needs a new strategy or force a regime change. so here this idea springs back on 2001. i went through the pentagon in the ember of 2001 and one of the general said sure i got this memo on. we're going to go after 7 countries in 5 years. i said is that a classified memo he said to her start with iraq and then we're going to move to syria lebanon libya somalia sudan and iran. i think it's highly probable the administration has already made the decision to go to war against iran there are already u.s. troops inside iran want to repeat that there are already us. groups inside

iran the u.s. has long had its eyes set on trying to impact regime change in iran and much of what you've seen the u.s. doing with regards to iran has been on a covert level we've seen a report in a new yorker by seymour hersh that a u.s. source told him that u.s. marines who are operating in the blue key missouri and kurdish regions of iran have you ever heard of that report i've never heard of the report i've never read the article nor do i intend to have any interest as to whether or not as the u.s. ambassador i don't have any interest as to whether or not u.s. marines are actually operating in iran right now and i said i had not heard of the report and i didn't intend to read the article in the new yorker if i gave you this article right now walked it over would you look at it i don't think so honestly congressman because i don't i don't have time to read much fiction. we have teams inside iran and these include joint special operation forces most elite

commando unit it has been given executive authority by the president as many as 12 countries to go in and kill we're talking about high value targets. they're operating they go into a country outside of the war zone side of afghanistan and outside of iraq telling the american cia station chief for the american ambassador they go in sterile and they kill people. we have to work sort of the dark side if you will spend time in the shadows. a lot of what needs to be done here will have to be done quietly without any discussion of methods that are available to our intelligence agencies. the doctrine that has endured from bush. to obama is that the world is

a battlefield and that the united states has the right to go into any country around the world to conduct what they call kinetic operations lethal operations regardless of what international law says. what is president obama's response to that how is he going to deal with it he embraced the very covert shadow forces that a decade earlier had only been talked about in hushed tones in the pentagon not just as the implementers of a policy that said we should decapitate terror networks and engage in preemptive strikes but they became the policy itself. president obama's administration have built up something called the disposition matrix is an algorithm for determining who should be killed or who should we seek to capture and one of the more sort of grotesque aspects of this is that there were actually meetings on tuesdays in the white house that have been nicknamed terror tuesday meetings where they're going through rosters of names to put on or take off the list maybe someone within that group has been in contact with someone that the

u.s. is watching they went to the mosque say mosque is someone they keep ordering pizza from the same place as a taliban leader and you decide these guys are probably up to no good and so on this particular day we're going to remove them from planet earth now we're getting into minority report into this sort of side 5 world of p.j. did where it's justifiable homicide even though it's for an ad that might take place in the future it's ok to kill from a distance without a warrant without a trial without a jury and the execution takes place off screen. where appropriate we will bring the terrorists to justice. and. when we. do you why answer. and.

we went all. right. on the date there were. the most of the woman. is worth paying attention to obviously i do not agree with much of what you said the president is not implementing policies that we need to see change for example that he would stop the authorization of think interest rates which means killing people on the basis only of suspicious behavior that's led to the killing of many innocent people the question on my facebook page and asked them what they wanted to ask you when a lot of them said that you were hurting your own cause because one you appeared rude to the president of the united states and 2 you just seemed. a little crazy

well i think killing innocent people with your own says rude i think not apologizing to the families of innocent people who are killed is rude there are a lot of rude things about our policies i want to make sure that people understand actually drones have not caused a huge number of civilian casualties for the most part of they have been very precise precision strikes against al qaeda how do you expect to be put up by the star not to have an american sentiment in india how do we hear about doing it act. more innocent. and. well i do not believe that. there is any basis for your comment maybe you need us money. go. my money to live above auto. bus moment of blood

dumped them in the astral collaterally. yet he does feel the make yet holy get give you don't let us. leave because god took. new york. on the. drawing board and they said lockheed martin boeing dime corp international computer scientists corporation and aero vironment all told eric about 70 companies are interested in this $1000000000.00 contract as we look out for 35710 years this market remains a very much a growth market. this

the disease a permanent war the destroyer the battle waste. islam and fundamentalism. to empower all of those who profit from a more politically economically and militarily. make no mistake a nuclear armed iran is not a challenge that can be contained it would threaten the elimination of israel the security of gulf nations and the stability of the global economy. at risk

triggering a nuclear arms race in the region and the other raveling of the nonproliferation treaty. and how close is iran to getting. well let me show you. brought a diagram for. here's a darter. this is a bomb. this is a fuse. where should a red line be drawn. a red line should be drawn right here. the threat from iran is a political football what was interesting was that many israelis including people from the military said as long as there is an extensional threat somewhere somehow that is certainly helping us expand our budgets in ways that it's not possible to do in the absence on anything that can be defined as such as if you were iran what

would you do i mean israel has what 3 to 400 nuclear weapons they're the ones who started the damn arms race in the middle east anyway they didn't sign a non player for asian treaty they built this program in secret. india and pakistan then went on to do the same thing and iran would you did sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty looked around and realize they'd done screwed bomb administrating wants to sell bunker buster bombs which can penetrate 20 feet of solid concrete to the u.a.e. the deal is the latest us arms sale to members of the gulf cooperation council 6 nations that neighbor iran a foe it could be in a homicide case but i called. my studio and i asked him what the war has become a commodity for several reasons one is because you need somebody to buy the stuff you bring us another. u.s. arms deal with saudi rapiers of the point the biggest of. this deal of loans to posses the tonic global obscene already 57. solitary rick does this enormous

so is a recycling dumb street. but it was also a business in another sense this is a business that uses war to get its hands established this is george orwell's $1904.00 always going to be in battle and guess who's making out really well of course of the weapons bilas and the people involved. well you know the fires they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in this small boat sniffs in a hard pool of ships and it's standing. on top and.

the limo self to big cold fish already 90 percent of the dot and it won't be calmer . cons of 15 scoops 75 tons to not do it several times a day with the big fleets and no you get an idea on why the ocean is full of fish. we have to understand we could not stay still and just. be within this the deal for you because you are. i'm doing this because i want the future world to the future can generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have.

ultimate manifestation of the national security state is that it not only seeks a perpetual state of war it will even go to all aeons to create that perpetual state of war i'm always reminded. of it long time ago. and that book has a beautiful sentence. i am going to visit with. noble because they go to this but because you choose not to see. the you know the family this is ironic and eighties if you remember we had been on stage who were supporting the mujahideen to . afghanistan from the so gets. bled and came to thank

me for my efforts to bring their americans our friends to help us against the atheists he said the communists. went on and also been locked in this camp high in the mountains of afghanistan with an air raid shelter built into the living rock of amount to 2530 feet high. camps built by the cia later they tried to cruise missiles and of course they knew where it was they built it. no wonder but love kept smiling up no wonder he did. the american sol review put $1000000000.00 each to get the. training equipment we are the ones who cleared all those people to go we had you. there must be something wrong with the way we think that we can say that the

grandmother of the boss is operating today we have been pumping money a great deal of money without. congressional it's already without any congressional oversight prince bandar of saudi arabia is putting up some of this money for covert operations in many areas of the middle east where we want to stop the shiite influence they call the shiite question i think the arabic word is not civil war we're in a business right now of creating and some place in sectarian violence. situation because we're trying to destroy it. in mali have a crime to give all the training. area. it really has the world gone mad but not enough. to realize how mad. you really are coming out why. americans are living under a kind of. no relating to where i'm.

sitting. today there are good and bad the bad terrorists those in yemen who the united states deems to be a threat the good those who are in syria the joke here is we've been there before i mean if you consider the of the honest on story they have learned nothing. today if i see this some of these are giving money to groups in syria that are not

only a looser out but also. if you want a conspiracy theories or what i'm just trying to. in the moment of the condemned pretty. dangerous. sounds insane. so what appears to have been a conspiracy at the time. when. we must address the cycle of conflict especially sectarian conflict has to end terrorism meanwhile this drive. on getting involved in conflicts still is the part which produces can it. appear to become. which is reinforces the public narrative and then makes things like intervention ok.

good morning everybody. last night on my orders america's armed forces began strikes against targets in syria #. just ahead of airstrikes in syria defense firms lockheed martin northrop raytheon and general dynamics corp all set stock price records their shareholders are making money off the unusually large number of conflicts around the world. every 2 years or so the early military attacks the gaza strip and right after there is a trade show in which israeli weapon companies show their technologies. all of these israeli companies which are becoming increasingly important and very significant are these ready on a me depend on those wars the 1st thing that they say when they try to market we've already used i don't actually going to be. making that claim they're able to

compete with weapon manufacturers some of the. united states is the biggest supplier of military aid to israel this attack also tradeshow for the united states arms industry in. iran in our faces are competing for the crown of militant islam one calls itself the islamic republic the other calls itself the islamic state. both want to impose a militant islamic empire 1st on the region and then on the entire world they just disagree among themselves who will be the ruler of the. in this deadly game of

thrones there is no place for america. today after 2 years of negotiations the united states together were international partners has achieved something the decades of animosity has not a comprehensive long term deal with iran that will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon this was a very difficult negotiation. part of it is because of. compounded mistrust that we have between ourselves for. last 34 decades but i'm happy that the reason for the rate of diplomacy pretty great people exercise great the look restraint and patience and discipline and we are going to be automatic hope this will be a good beginning. as this nuclear deal goes through we're still dealing with the problem that the states of this region are collapsing and avoid that they will fail you will see more violence and you will see more weapons just important to

understand that that's not a result of this deal that is a result of the paradigm not shifting towards demilitarization and collective security soon enough the saudis in need israelis are on the same page they worry about iran and then they do anything that's not new they've been worried for can they do anything about well they can get their own weapons. this is a region that has more arms per copied our than any other region in the world much thanks to the defense industry israel and some of the arab states are going to be able to buy more weapons and more advanced weapons. if the nuclear threat from iran is decreasing why should these other countries get a chance to actually arm themselves more pakistan is a friend of saudi arabia pakistan has nuclear weapons are you in discussions with pakistan about perhaps getting a nuclear bomb from pakistan wolf we've known each other for 25 years you don't really expect me to answer this question. we're

not going to have a truly demilitarization in the region unless israel's nuclear arsenal also is addressed. the significance of this peace seal is that it is a game changer in the region and it's going to be a question about the political willingness of leaders to whether they will pursue these opportunities or whether they will fall into the patterns of the past. and once you start a war. you open a kind of pandora's box you don't control it and control geo. the use

of that kind of violence has unforseen consequences that no one can predict and it propelled you. in directions you never thought you got control or guts. so the images. are very carefully controlled and counter by the lies that have to summon aided through every institution in society schools government entertainment the press. when you shatter the myth and when you understand especially what techno war industrial war is about which is really about murder out slaughter people would be so repulsed it would be very hard to wait for.

5th. we was a cattle republic because we think it would be fair to our people i want to contribute to the welfare of europe into the european values of democracy of equality of dialogue of peace and we think. that we are ready to contribute on our own to this new europe but as part of the euro meet the european community and constituency what's the big deal what's the problem why can't we accept that possibility in the 21st century. and the big pain years and across started 10 years i think it's time to shake

things up maybe change the branding maybe the format here is what i've been thinking about next season related episodes filmed on an island 10 experts fight it out for a trophy what do you think ok a more affordable option $25.00 text birds. and one red rose another suggestion geopolitical jeopardy parity no political cookout where we will literally wrote the elites. late night show it's a rare format these days and it's cheap all you need is an old microphone in a printed banner but actually meet with one of my guest i can do this candle after politics gone wild like music. ok crosstalk is not about hype it's about meaning 10 years of talk and still going strong. peter if you want to change something why don't we get rid of the bow tie no that

making headlines today the u.s. continues its strong anti iran rhetoric now accusing toronto of attacking saudi oil facilities despite the rebels saying they did it as the accusations as a lie. while washington that stands on their own doesn't soften even after u.s. national security adviser john bolton was fired this week by donald trump. also in the stories that shaped the week an american t.v. network sues the top presenter of another channel for describing them as paid russian propaganda we look at the track record of the n.b.c. host and question when it comes to making claims about the plan and.
