the soviet and the american empire and the people who suffered were the afghani people. >> there's no doubt that what you're talking about is absolutely true. in fact, our first book, "invisible history: afghanistan's untold story," goes into great detail about the true nature of the activity that the united states was involved in preceding the soviet invasion. in fact, actually, the original activities that the united states got involved in was as early as 1973 through pakistan. that's when leaders were being paid and used to invade and to try to destabilize the regime at the time. so you're looking at a very, very -- that's why we call it invisible history, because it is an unknown history to most americans about how the soviets were, in fact, drawn into afghanistan. president carter's national security adviser actually went public with this in 1998 in an interview where he stated very clearly that the intention of the black project started at least six months preceding the soviet invasion, they at least acknowledge that the intention was to draw the soviets into what brzezinski des

obviously if he was responsible for the nine eleven attacks and all the above this is the way the american empire operates their foreign colonies remember room and britain left behind vast you know infrastructure projects america just goes and blows apart their infrastructure projects and then shakes them down to make them pay them to pay the united states to rebuild it. the same a logic does not apply to israel i mean we've dumped hundreds of billions a hundred billion into israel we haven't seen a penny back to pay back now i happen to be the us taxpayer that means that. they're now benjamin netanyahu he personally in the state of israel owes me five or six thousand dollars back worth my friggin money so the iraqis are also asking for their money back iraqis we won't repay us so the head of iraqi parliament's foreign affairs committee called. boxer's comments stupid and said quote this provokes us and the iraqi people as well to demand compensations for losses iraq suffered during the invasion again you know the united states chose this war it wasn't a war of necessity to go into iraq they chos

gruesome find the deputy attorney general under president ronald reagan and the author of her book american empire before the fall welcome to the program thank you so much for being here. in the white house did a response to congress today and they sent a nice little letter saying that basically they're not in violation of the war powers act because libya isn't really a war so we don't have troops on the ground nato is leading the operation so it can't possibly be in violation of the war powers act what's your take well it's an example of orwellian speech the obama administration when the secretary of defense was testifying for congress mr gates and was asked if you throw a. missile into a new york city is that what he basically said of course i mean if libya was doing what they were going to live yes yes of course they would understand that was war also they're there they're caught in this kind of legal paradox if it's not war then we are committing murder because it's only war that makes on the side legal so if we're not fighting we're there we're killing people without justification we should b

why did he actively pursue a kind of american, what i call an american empire without colonies which is to say american power around the globe, um, but without necessarily acquiring real estate the way the europeans tended to do? and i think the answer comes from biography. franklin roosevelt was born in 1882, the united states in the immediate post-civil war, i mean, the united states has never been a deliberately imperial nation. we never have set out to create a map of the world that's colored red, white and blue in various places like the british, the spanish or others did. but we have a kind of, we've kind of become imperial is a bad word these days, but i can't think of an alternative. we have become a global power to some degree through inadvertence, but also -- and when i say inadvertence, partly because of the vacuums of power we have filled especially after world war ii, but also deliberately. in the period after the civil war when franklin roosevelt was born, the united states became very much an economic superpower, competitive with the british. we didn't have the strategi
