are was when i did exactly you know i did have a comedy show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents. so saudi arabia's oil fields were attacked and the debris proves iran was behind it or rather saudi arabia wants to go to war with iran says iran was behind it. but also 7 the united states who wanted to go to war with iran says iran was guarded. yes call me crazy but does it matter if the debris is a rani in may they don't countries sell arms to each other even though it's a damn stupid idea don't they do that all the time i mean when we do it a lot in fact israeli soldiers often hit palestinians with tear gas canisters marked 7 made in the usa. you think. they take that time to put
2:28 am
a little sticker on there that says. made in russia. they were not. meanwhile buried quietly at the bottom of a lot of this week's reports that. the rebels have said they are behind the attacks so rebels in yemen who have been mercilessly genocide by saudi arabia over the past many years with the help of uncle sam factions in yemen have claimed credit but exam as n.b.c. will tell you. for some reason stop or only refusing to take responsibility to review the phish shows right now or outlining what they call added instead last weekend's drone attacks on its oil refineries were 'd in fact supported by iran that of course is a belief that shared by the united states iran for its part continues to deny it
2:29 am
was behind the attack he then brings in another expert and he tries to set her up for some good propaganda but she accidentally grabs a true turd unlike the middle of the segment i want to bring the best for wendy sherman now former undersecretary of state for political affairs now at harvard's kennedy school she is also a mess in d.c. global of fears contributor what's your assessment is there any reason to believe that are wrong is not behind the attack over the weekend. well there certainly are lots of indications that iran was behind this attack but we find ourselves in a very difficult place for a lot of reasons given the assassination of jim shogi and saudi arabia's other actions particularly in yemen their word and their credibility is questionable donald trump the president of the united states is known to fabricate all kinds of things on his tweets and when he gives his rally speeches so his word is.
2:30 am
questionable and of course our run which tries to do things behind a cloak of the regime their word is questionable so finding the facts here and having the world community believe those facts is going to be quite a challenge. from still liar saudi arabia's a liar she just brought some truth to m.s.n. b.c. that is not cool all right. she just caused thousands of mindless suburban dads around the nation to spit their coffee across the room. you mean the murderous horrible regime of saudi arabia has a reason to lie and the murderous horrible regime of donald trump has a reason to la i know i'm not as n.b.c. wants you to believe trump is a habitual liar and lies he's saying something we want him to.
