i've seen a man of far sighted courage put america on a war footing. and protect us against a brutal enemy in a dangerous conflict that will shape this new century no formal response was given to the iranians at all i'm grateful to have been witness to history. 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 in iraq. 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 iraq. 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
11:31 pm
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 charge or cheney in $9192.00. retooled went to the white house briefed people like president america needs a new strategy. so here's an idea springs. i went through the pentagon in november 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 to your. start with iraq and then we're going to move to syria lebanon libya somalia sudan and iran.
11:32 pm
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 who 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 and never read the article nor do i intend to do you have any. 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
11:33 pm
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 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.
11:34 pm
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 of build up something called the disposition
11:35 pm
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 same mosque as 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
11:36 pm
appropriate we will bring the terrorists to justice. and. when we. do you why answer. do you want to. we why are. you. 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 think interest rates which means killing people on the basis only of suspicious behavior that's led to the killing
11:37 pm
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 off 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 maybe you need.
11:38 pm
to go. that it wasn't. my money they apparently live above. us moment of blood. in the astral collateral. yet he does feel the make he did ollie get good don't let us leak i. took from the moment up i knew what i did have. grown bored 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

11:40 pm
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 dark room. 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
11:41 pm
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 nucular non-play 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 at least what i call bomb out i see when i ask them what i mean why has become a commodity for several reasons one is because you need somebody to buy the stuff
11:42 pm
you bring us another. u.s. arms deal with saudi arabia is. the biggest of. this deal of most apos is the top global obscene already 57. saw that it would does this enormous so there's a recycling. but 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 is always going to be in battle and guess who's making out really well of course of the weapons dealers and the people involved. there's a lot of here is economy where china has caught up or surpassed us you know the mobile payments market 50 times the size of the us or over here still writing checks our banking system is not innovated 5 g. we've kind of recently woken up the last couple years and while we don't even have
11:43 pm
11:44 pm
just insecure still holds that it's a bit silly. there's. just a little bit. 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 thought exist but because you choose not to see. the you
11:45 pm
know the family this is ironic and eighties if you remember we and being on stage were supporting the mujahideen to. afghanistan from the so gets. bled and came to thank me for my efforts to bring the americans our friends to help us against the atheist he said the communist. 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 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
11:46 pm
put $1000000000.00 each to. 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 authority 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 fit not civil war we're in a business right now of creating and some places sectarian violence. situation because we're trying to destroy it. in mali of a crime to give all the training. area. it really has the world gone
11:47 pm
mad but not enough to really. coming out why. americans are living under a kind of world of no relating to. where i'm. sitting. today 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
11:48 pm
mean if you consider the of the honest on story they have learned nothing. today if i see the saudis are giving money to groups in syria that are not only a looser i would also. if you want a conspiracy theory is what i'm just trying to. in the moment of the condemn pretty . dangerous. sounds insane. so what appears to have been a conspiracy at the time. to be true. we must address the cycle of conflict especially sectarian conflict that creates
11:49 pm
the conditions the terrorists prey upon in public they say we have to end terrorism meanwhile this drive. of 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.
11:50 pm
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. israeli companies which are becoming an increasingly important and very significant part of the israeli army 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.
11:51 pm
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 negotiations. part of it is because of. compounded mistrust that we have between ourselves for. last 34 decades but i'm happy that the reason people diplomacy pretty great people exercise great the look restraint and
11:52 pm
patience and vision beyond 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 paradigm not shifting towards demilitarization and collective security soon enough the saudis and 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 out 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
11:53 pm
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 but you know 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.
11:54 pm
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 protect and it propelled you. in directions you never fight you got control of your guts. 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
11:55 pm
11:58 pm
they put themselves. they get a show that will reject. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go to be 1st this is what before 3 of them or can't be. interested in the waters. there should. thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military and the decision. every song came to a complete. the day that i was right. you know what they'd kill me and i see how it destroyed. any screamed at me and he made me come in and he grabbed my arm and he raped me with his birth thinking if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is
11:59 pm
a very very traumatizing have happened but i've never seen trauma like i've seen women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished and be offended and almost 20 year career or chose very invested in and i gave a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an hour in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there whether that's men or women.
12:00 am
