a 10 to 14 year 3 to $4.00 trillion dollar invasion at the end of which 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 charge or cheney in $9192.00. want to know why dallas 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. i'm going to go after 7 countries in 5 years. i said is that a classified memo to. 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 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 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 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 using sources and 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 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 implementors of a policy that said we should decapitate terror networks and engage in prayer.

strikes but they became the policy itself. president obama's administration have built up something called the disposition matrix is like 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 are 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 mosques a 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 that 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 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 and 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. that it wasn't. my money they apparently live above. us moment of blood from them the astral. yet he does feel the make yet ollie get good don't let us make i. took from them all and up and i knew. they had. grown bored and they said they 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

is the disease a permanent war the destroyer the battle waste. aslambek fundamentalism. in power 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 budget in ways that it's not possible to do in the absence on anything that can be defined as such as if you were a rand 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 realized they'd done screw 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 enemies but i called my mouth 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 as of the point the biggest in history this deal of months apos is the tonic global obscene already $57.00. saw that it would does this enormous so is a recycling. but was also a business in another sense it is a business that uses war to get its ends 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 bilas and the people involved.

medical use downs to leak leak out to. you when you. present that it could look at that is to close most of the book but.

it's going strong still it's about seem to me there's. just too little. there's a lot of it here. the economy has caught up or surpassed us you know the mobile payments markets 50 times the size of the us or over here still writing checks our banking system is not innovated. kind of recently woken up the last couple years and go wow we don't even have a company that can make 5 g. equipment it's been a win win for china and it's been a lose lose for the us. a 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. and that book has a beautiful sentence. i am going to. not because they don't exist. but because you choose not to see. the you know the family this is ironic eighty's if you remember we envy the states who are 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 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 late as they tried to

cruise missiles and of course they knew where it was they built it. no wonder. 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 see 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 crescent. the arabic word is fitna civil war we're

in a business right now of creating and some place in the sectarian violence. they were trying to give mom a number and i mean no one area. it really has the world gone mad but not enough you got to realize how mad. you read the news coming out and why. americans are living in this kind of time to think world of no related a lot of where i'm. sitting . i say.

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 war 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 the saudis are giving money to groups in syria that are not only a looser i would also. say you want a conspiracy theories or what i'm just trying to say is in the moment of the contemporary this grammar. of dangerous politics sounds insane.

to what appears to have been a conspiracy at the time. when documents appear. to be true. we must address the cycle of conflict especially sectarian conflict that creates the conditions the terrorists prey upon in public we have to end terrorism meanwhile this drive. of getting involved in conflicts still is the part which produces kind of. forces in 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. right astern there is a trade show in which israeli weapon companies show their technologies. israeli companies which are becoming 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 human being. 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 to a joke with the united states arms industry.

right. iran and isis 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 force 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 of this french and compounded mistrust that we have been between ourselves mutually for the last 34 decades but i'm happy that reason at diplomacy pretty great people exercise you look restraint and patience and reason and. 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 demilitarize ation 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 the region that has more arms per copy to 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 which 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 demilitarize asian in the region unless israel's nuclear arsenal also is addressed. the significance 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 consequence 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 encounter 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 ups water people would be so repulsed very hard. wait for.
