and 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 living. in the pentagon and i wanted to see undersecretary difference the idea is that wolfowitz shared with me in surgery cheney in 9192. retool and want to know why dallas briefed people like president america needs a new strategy or force a regime change. so there's ideas brings back. i went through the pentagon in november of 2001 and one of the general said sure i

got this memo on. going to go after 7 countries in 5 years. i said is that a classified memo to your start with iraq and then we're going to move to syria lebannon 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 u.s. troops 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 new yorker by seymour hersh that a u.s. source told him that u.s.

marines were 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 do you have any. as to whether or not you 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 now and they go into countries outside of the war zone side of afghanistan and outside of iraq without 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. and 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 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 musée 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 that 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. do you want to. we went on. you're right. there we're going to.

the most of a woman. is worth paying attention to obviously i do not agree with much of what she said. the president is not implementing policies that we need to see change for example that he would stop the authorization of signature strikes 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 journalists is 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 their been very precise

precision strikes against al qaeda how do you expect to be put up by the star not to have and the american sentiment in india we had about doing that act. more innocent than militant. well i do not believe that. there is any basis for your comment. so it's. my money to live above. us moment of blood from the the astral. yet he does feel the make yet ollie get good the last week i. took from. new york i get up. on the. drawing board and

they said lockheed martin boeing dime corp international computer sciences corp 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 better 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 un 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

a new if you let on plan for a treaty looked around and realized they 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 an atomic i mean what i call bomb out you know when i asked him what i mean why 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 arabia is in the fight the biggest in history this deal of months apos is the time of global already $57000000000.00. there he really does this enormous so is a recycling. but was also a business in another sense this is a business the news is war to get its hands established this is george orwell's 1942 paul is always going to be in battle and guess who's making out really well of

course of the weapons neela's and the people involved. and we're going to fulfill the repeated promises. to the people and promise to be you know we've all pots to. be. pretty. much. pretty good. now you want to 1st correct that. you know.

paul. i can link up my. new year's worth. wow i'm feeling it 2020 should be a whopper. but if she warned you posted by you than i do would be sure that there was more in those jeans nudist beach and you see me. as and about that when you guys you. mean is i mean guys without infringing balls. a lot of you will see sawing as if i it's about 2 kids each other both are the most called. discipline but as in the adults to me as if.

these but out. here in chief. cabinet 5 days doing this in. english medium for people who simply knew she would include in total.

ultimate manifestation of the national security state is that it not only seeks a perpetual state of war it will even go to all the ins 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 a man not because they don't exist. 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 liberate afghanistan from the so gets.

bled and came to thank me for my efforts to bring their americans our friends to help us to get us the atheist he said the communist. went on and also been long in this camp high in the mountains of afghanistan with an air raid shelter built into the living rock of a mountain 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 crescent. the arabic word is fitna 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 coming out and why. americans are living in this kind of world of no relation. where i'm.

sure. there are good terrorists 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. the saudis are giving money to groups in syria that are not

only a looser i would also. if you want a conspiracy theory as to what i'm just trying to. in the moment the. danger is. what appears to have been a conspiracy at the time. when. we must address the cycle of conflict especially sectarian conflict that creates the conditions. in public we have to end terrorism meanwhile this drive. of getting involved in conflicts is the part which produces character. 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 military. there is a trade show in which israeli weapon companies show their technology. is ready companies which are becoming increasingly important and very significant. depend on

those wars the 1st thing that they say when they try to. by making that claim they're able to compete with weapon manufacturers from other countries. the united states is the biggest supplier of military aid to israel this attack on gaza also trade show for the united states arms industry in. 7 iran and i says 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 that in for. 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 negotiations and part of it is because the. entrenched uncompounded mistrust that we have between ourselves mutually for the last 34 decades but i'm happy that reason at diplomacy pretty great people exercise restraint and patience and discipline and maybe 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 they're void 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 card i'm not shifting towards demilitarization and collective security soon enough the saudis and the 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 with. russians with pakistan about perhaps getting a nuclear bomb from pakistan with their 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 significant of this peace deal 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 or control geo. the use of that kind of violence has unforseen consequences that no one can predict and it propels you. in directions you never thought you got control or does. so the images. are very carefully controlled and counter by the lies that are to some unaided 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 water people would be so repulsed it would be very hard to. wait for.
