designation -- iranian delegation. look at what happened in tunisia. people took to the streets. quite quickly, the administration responded in a positive and supportive way of those voices of democracy, voices of change. unlike iran, the military did not come to the assistance of the president. for whatever reason, they stayed on the sidelines. the administration applauded the move, the effort to bring democracy and freedom to tunisia. it was fairly muted after the fraudulent elections in iran -- fairly new to -- fairly mute after the fraudulent elections in iran. the mek is not looking for money. they are not looking for arms. they just want the freedom to speak and take action into their own hands. we need to do that for them because time is running out. in the late 1990, the u.s. declared the people's mujahedin to be a terrorist organization. a good gesture at the time. many people have said they were about in that decision based on a strategic goal of entering productive talks. goodwill gestures have no impact on

iranian nation.what i have in mind is calibrating our official statements so they do not inflame iranian nationalism or allow mahmoud ahmadinejad to exploit statements to solidify his own power. efforts to expose corruption at the highest levels would be an example of what i have in mind but more broadly the obama administration needs to talk up and take out the batter of human rights and democracy and at the very least give greater rhetorical support to the opposition movement. [applause] substantive support for the opposition would also be welcome. in the past the obama administration appeared reluctant to support iranian opposition efforts for fear it would complicate their nuclear talks. i disagree with that decision. aaron spent a large part of my career in negotiations with some pretty bad actors, supporting the opposition would give any american negotiator more leverage, not less leverage at the negotiating table.

that relate to the current iranian nuclear program. it's not for nothing that the international community and un security council adopted a set of resolutions on this particular issues and what is need. good to remove sources for this concern on which i'm talking i think is perfectly clear bulls for radians and for everyone else. issues on how. international community treats situation with other countries you know other countries or wherever you might. you know point to i think it's a separate one since each and every country has its own record in this area and history is very different in all these situations so i would be very cautious to draw all that to grow these type of parallels on a separate issue now russia's state duma is set to hold their third meeting off the strategic arms reduction treaty with the united states. what does this do for moscow's relations with washington now that ratification is as close as ever definitely it's a huge boost for. our joint efforts to establish a more stable and constructive fundaments in our

any nuclear military that mention of iranian nuclear because tehran continually says that its nuclear program is only for peaceful energy purposes what he said is that if i may there's a story that just happened very recently what do you think about iran's recent invitation to certain members of the u.n. security council to come and inspect their nuclear reactor as we know they didn't invite america russia said no. so what do you think of this invitation to suss is a very good question because what can i say about this first of all the iranians who actually made up this invitation to any country including nuclear physicists who would like to iranian nuclear. facilities iranians wouldn't risk anything because the open part of nuclear program what they mean by saying new nuclear program the open facilities. on the land but not on the ground they are open to any expectations as well as to inspection so iran doesn't risk anything but as we know that the officials there in moscow their reaction was that they said that such an invitation should not be used as a substitute for international

this iranian nuclear program is >>, so, this program remains a threat. the are an ins are much closer to a nuclear weapon than the more optimistic estimates. in any of them, that is not the only test. part of the tests is the breath, scope and depth of the nuclear infrastructure, and that is proceeding along with the construction of the heavy water reactor in iraq. all of this is continuing while we are still waiting for negotiations to begin, let alone 60. i think iran's terrorist threat is now even more obvious as well. the press this week, of course, is filled with reports about the overthrow of the government in tunisia, the challenges of the government in egypt and yemen, but let us not forget that at the same time iran is doing its best, and i'm afraid with considerable success, to subvert pro-democracy progress in other countries. in iraq, i am very concerned that is by the end of this year in fact american oaks forces are withdrawn, that we will see iranian influence growing, and the government or a successor will basically repress the opposition

we now know what they think privately about the iranians. they are forced into strange public demonstrations of friendship, as u.s. forces moved to complete withdrawal from iraq to re-head -- . turkey is moving away from the american camp. it had improved relations with iran, too, but seemed intent on carving of a role for itself as a regional player in its own right, hence its bid for nuclear talks. elections in july should provide an opportunity to test the strength of political islam in turkey and to see whether they are keen on the idea of joining the european union. influential turks find the long waits for membership humiliating an increasingly see europe does -- let's go east to afghanistan. the american drawdown had been scheduled for july, and now we are being told to expect some more symbolic reduction, with afghan security forces. americans will search for indicators that things are getting better, but they have not appeared yet, and it may not be until the u.s. takes a back seat in operations that american casualties go down. at

today the iranians are building nuclear weapons. they practiced twice in the caspian sea launching a ballistic missile from a ship. the iranians practicing in the caspian sea launching a ballistic missile from a ship which could someday be off of our coast. when they practiced this in the caspian sea the missile was not used to go up andrea peron -- reenter the atmosphere to simulated nuclear warhead. the dummy warhead was exploded in the high atmosphere to simulate an electromagnetic pulse balm. it is not a secret. the iranians are practicing this. in the face of this two things can happen. you can build a missile defense or hardened the system. i would advocate that you do both. you can build a robust missile defense because he will defend us from not only the iranians but defend us from the war north koreans. also hardened the system. there may come a time when we need technologically more robust electronic system. it seems like such common sense. if you have enemies practicing to destroy you why wouldn't you figure out ways of p

in 2009 the uprising of the iranian elections was the last twitter revolution.ial media fill the gap, but did it spread the protests? >> what we have learned from iran is that they spoke and twitter helped organize the iranian opposition. those who were already motivated to take action to go on to the streets and share information about their experiences. twitter is good in organizing those who are already energized. it is not good in creating a mass movement. >> in the case of iran, proclaiming a twitter revolution did alert the iranian authorities to social media. a senior u.s. state department adviser contacted twitter to ask them to a proposed -- postponed their planned maintenance. after that the i iranian regime became convinced the internet was an arm of the u.s. government. the man who made that request was jared cohen. >> i look at the 60% of that part of the world under age 30 and see the window that will not last forever. these kids will be the adults soon. i look at the digital age and think this is the first time ever won from education institutions

it goes across the entire spectrum of iranian society. it represents every aspect of society that feels the pressure of this regime. lack of freedom of speech, lack of the ability to fulfill their destiny. lack of a voice in their own political system. lack of fairness in the way they're treated because of their ethnicity. and so we have a broad-based opposition movement, which usually means they would be most successful because the entire society is displeased with the oppression they face. the opportunity was there and still is there to bring light, like happened in poland to this movement. who are they? what is there suffering? pressure from the world begins with putting a blight on the kind of oppression that occurs and the opposition movement, the courageous action to resist it. we've missed that before. and we've got to change our policy and our attitude. what was strange about the dual containment policy is how much we emphasize supporting the opposition in iraq and the iraqi community outside iraq. and i would offer to you sometim

we handed iraq over to the iranians. why the iranians? in the eyes of many, portia are not arabs. they're turning it -- persians. the they are iraqi nationals. many have a strong shi'ite identity as well as the iranians. they sympathize with them. . they didn't lose the american surge. they love black and decker. what do i mean by that? he had his head cut on. if you find a corpse in iraq marking power drills, a signature of portia militia. then you have a strong cooperation with iraqi police. they pounded and punished cenis neighborhoods to the point where sunnis began to depopulate baghdad. in 2007 it was totally empty. thousands of homes. the kitchen full of potts. they were in syria and jordan. this was important to stress six months before the surge when they realized they had lost. increasing rhetoric from d.c. about america's pullout. debates between republicans and democrats. it was a lost cause. and the violence of occupation suddenly panicking that the american leads would be slaughtered. and signals from saudi arabia saying americans leave, they will come in to protect

if i thought i was a future of the iranian nuclear program do you see what's around to do and the end . you know we hope that the countries which committed a historic mistake them involved the year one and that will admit to this fact we demanded they should stop talks in the north as soon as possible so there will be able to be no corporation with the height of the topic they're discussing there is a fiction about a laptop a line to be the west we hope that our friends including about shock will assist freezing detoxed a moment let us think that i am a prisoner and of america will not going to but i spat political organization as a responsible state we are ready for all kinds of corporation we hope that talks are not clear from the for them to find reactors will become a new way to diplomacy with hope but they will listen far and eyes are on the moon from confrontation all sanctions to constructive for precision of compliance with the i.a.e.a. you some of us. thank you very much. wealthy british. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's caus

. >> we handed iraq over to the iranians. why the iranians? because in the eyes of many, she is are not really arabs. they are persians or poor iranians. that's not true. many of them have a very strong shia identity as well. it doesn't mean they are iranians. sympathizers though. but sunnis since they have lost. they didn't lose thanks to the american surge of american tactics. they lost thanks to black & decker. what we mean by that? black & decker is power drills. if you find a corpse in iraq, he was killed but sunni militias. if you found a corpse in iraq with the marks of power drills, that was the signature of shia militiamen. you had in 2006 a strong cooperation between shia militiamen, iraqi police and iraqi army. they pounded and punish sunni neighborhoods. to the point where sunnis began to depopulate baghdad. when i visited in 2007 it was totally empty. thousands of homes close, kitchens still fall but nobody was living there. sunnis were defeated. they were leaving. they're in syria, jordan. this was important to stress, six months

the domestic public you have to see it but the second step the iranians did it again to which their own public namely to boost . the blast about their own new newly achieved technological progress which is not true but again it sends a message to do also of course inside iran who are highly critical of any engagement with the international community that both things iran can to solve comfort them and it wants to negotiate are important but they're also be yet another hidden agenda here where some with the western diplomats are saying that iran is actually trying to create a rift in the six party talks members by inviting some in fact only two out of the six were invited and then clearly snubbing the others would you agree that that could be an agenda. well that's an agenda that's all the time ongoing day do so from ever there has been a start in negotiations or talks or whatever and it never worked out it never worked out so certainly there may be some people in iran who thought that they could create a fish or already if perhaps the are lucky but i think the remits dems are quite reali

the iranian envoy to the international atomic energy agency says tehran will never stop and reaching uranium. made the statement on the eve of the latest round of talks on iran's nuclear program the envoy says his country the tonic program that's now completely self-sufficient and which meant it will continue even if iran comes on the military attack the country is already suffering all four sets of the un sanctions iran is currently sitting down for close talks with six world powers in istanbul. told r.t. shouldn't have to bear any international pressure in the work in the first place. is imposed on us by the u. when illegitimate we were obliged to allow inspections of our reactors and we do the international atomic energy agency found nothing wrong with our nuclear program i mean speeches were going on but in the u.s. britain france and germany pressured the i.e.e.e.

iranians would have seen disproof first hands the monstrous lives fed to them about israelis. and by the way that's the reason last year the iranian vice president was quietly forced to rosigned when he offend people by saying iranians are friends of all people in the world including even israelis. now, his sin was not that he diverted from the official policies. these things happen all the time. no his culpable offense was that he committed the inference of jews but on other people who in different circumstances they could be living on good terms. a small inference that humanized the jewish people for the moment that was a dangerous setback to their dehumanization of this regime which is marching on a bond and on that subject i will end by this. of all the arguments we need to make surely this is the easiest we've got to make before the american government and the public. it's widely appreciated that the nuclear-armed iran is a great danger to israel and it's an norms danger to the united states. whatever the political security and economic risk for america, if diplomacy fail

the iranian issue -- the use of force, you would've done the best service if you brought the iranian program. they knew it got to a crash course. it would of supported a lot of people are around the world. there is no military solution. the only solution is to build trust. it is none the nuclear-weapons to have more influence. -- it does not need more nuclear weapons to have more influence. [unintelligible] in the city of lebanon, in afghanistan, the nuclear program is a means to an end, and that is to show that they are a major player in the region. you have to pretend as. i am not certain that they have a lot of concerned about this. i think the solution is not force but the find a way to live together. >> the gentleman there. >> on of>> this is in a run-u.s. that is the reality. you have the russians and the chinese, but everyone understands this will have to come from the u.s.. they can provide the security as servants, if you like, to the iranians. and the west. bair the able -- they are able to provide the technologies. it is the u.s. that would become the first beneficiary of

possessing nuclear technology including nuclear arms and all the other nuclear power stations on iranian territory and your opinion is that so and if yes how can you comment on the position of the west. i'm an expert in nuclear power and i tell you that the nuclear technology is an indicator of progress at every level if a country one standard the sphere of nuclear technology to build a reactor or obtain a nuclear program and must use the best professionals and engineers this country will develop and work using highly precise parameters and figures the development will go fast day by day that's the reason why i am not surprised by the fact that they ran lines of them it satellite into space iran is a country of development of technologies and that's the food of obtaining nuclear technologies a country is entering the nuclear is feel will have high tech industry and its universities will be at the higher level too the country will become a leading one some countries do not want to iran to be among the leaders and be strong in the sphere of technologies they know that we do not want to hav

and the swastika is actually an iranian or persians symbol. it is backwards but it came down -- in the nineteenth century, there was -- at want to make it clear, in the book we indicates the roots of the swastika but you see it in ancient pottery of the iranians. around the nineteenth century there was a mixup of the word and the scandinavian this thought that they were the actual ariane's. this fake aryan race called to exist which was medicalized by the rockefeller foundation and the carnegie institution and henry ford into the concept of eugenics. i wrote a book called war against the weakened. does the world recognizes this? no. derecognize it? yes. another question? yes, ma'am? >> do you remember what was the name of the person in croatia famous for having in his office a basket of human eyes? >> the woman said do i remember the name of the guy in croatia who had a basket of eyeballs in his office? that is referred to on pages 327 to 335. i don't want to take the time to read it but we have his name to be used by shea film archives. he sh

, and why the iranians? and not yet many in the region, shias aren't real arabs, they are persian. of course that isn't true. the shia iraqi started nationalists and didn't have a strong shias identity as well. it doesn't mean that they are iranians sympathizers though. but you had this sunni since that they had lost. and they didn't lose to the american surge or the american tactics. they lost things to black and decker. what do i mean? black and decker power drills. if you find a corpse in iraq that had its head cut off it was killed by sunni militiamen. if he found a corpse power drills in the body dead was a signature of the shia militiamen. so you had in 2006 a really strong cooperation between the shia militiamen, the iraqi police and the iraqi army. they pounded and punished sunni neighborhoods to the point where sunnis began to depopulate baghdad. you have places like doherty in south baghdad, one set of wealthy neighborhood mix with majority sunni. when i visited in 2007 and was totally empty. thous

well, first of all we will make common cause with the iranians. what is the word iran mean? the word iran means that are the true, the name was changed from persia in 1935 to invoke the ancient name of iran as a salute to a massive not see dominated iranian infrastructure. after the british took over, the oil wells, secure them, that they had from decades, in iraq for years, not decades, they then moved into iran, expelled of the shock, brought in the mandate you know as the shah of iran, and kicked out 2000 not g8 agitators and military men and advance units that were creating railroad systems, trains, all sorts of infrastructure, events to cut iran off from the west, to cut the oil off from the west, and to give the oil simply to nazi germany. after that, the arabs said okay, we're going to switch. they recruited not one muslim fighter, not 100, not 1000, but tens of thousands. three divisions. they were to me in yugoslavia. anyone here from yugoslavia? ought not. >> okay. let me tell you what happened in yugoslavia. i want you to come again, except my apology in advance.

but the iranians themselves say their enrichment plant has been hit by a computer virus. no one will admit to it, but every indication is the virus it was product of a covert operation run by the u.s. and israel. >> it was a professional job. they had some serious insider knowledge beforehand, before they started the project and there's not too many people you can think of who could pull off a job like that. >> reporter: liam omurchu of the computer security firm symantec gave a description of what a simple virus known as stuxnet can do to the manufacturing process. >> this program runs indefinitely and causes malfunction here. >> reporter: infect the computers that run iran's enrichment plant and stux could throw off the speed at which the seine trif fusions spin causing them to break down. >> and this is stux senate >> that is stuxnet. >> reporter: sean mcgurk insists he does not know where stuxnet came from but he demonstrates how easy it is to spread the virus by plugging in a thumb drive infected with it. it doesn't pop up a warning or notice saying "you're now infec

this virus affected the iranian in richmond activities and the iranian program. i think they will be much more effective in how they take in the enrichment program forward, but there is no claim it had any affect on any of iran's activities. we know their programs have been conducted for 15 years in close-connection with north korea. we know a lot less about a connection of the nuclear front, but we do know, courtesy of the israeli air force, that north korea was building a nuclear reactor in syria until israel destroyed it in 2007. i do not think they were constructing that reactor, which was a clone of what they had in north korea. i think we will find out it was a three-way joint venture paid for by the iranians. if they were doing that in syria, what else are they doing in syria and what are they doing in other countries where we are not looking? this nuclear program remains a growing threat. i think the iranians are much closer to a nuclear weapon. part of the test is to break the scope of iran's nuclear infrastructure. that is proceeding right along with co

regime alex told for the first time. >> host: you could have an argument about pro-iranian. i do not want to deny the cost of the war are wonder if there pro-iranian regime nobody can deny the 100,000 lives lost in the negative consequences flowing from that. is better from a two early to judge the positive side because iraq is starting to emerge as a democracy and we have to see if it will be stable and stick on the path it is on but i would like to ask, what is the impact of the rise and fall of al qaeda? >> guest: it is a very big deal. al qaeda and iraq which had no foothold before sadam hussain with the invasion of iraq, and a certain point* come to control one-third of the country and much of the city population covered a lot of territory and it was almost the assisted suicide because they were their own mistakes. >> if you would be critical of president bush, you have the right and 2006 reversing course with the surge. >> i give him full credit for that. partly because i knew very little about iraq and almost entire foreign policy establishment including people in the

it was interesting that you heard the iranians this week support these protests, because they think this is the chance to put an islamic government in cairo. i don't think many other think that is likely. >> schieffer: david sanger. thank you so much, david. we'll be back. somewhere in america, there's a doctor who can peer into the future. there's a nurse who can access in an instant every patient's past. and because the whole hospital's working together, there's a family who can breathe easy, right now. somewhere in america, we've already answered some of the nation's toughest healthcare questions. and the over 60,000 people of siemens are ready to do it again. siemens. answers. >> woman: good night, gluttony-- a farewell long awaited. good night, stuffy. >> ( yawning ) >> good night, outdated. >> ( click ) >> good night, old luxury and all of your wares. good night, bygones everywhere. >> ( engine revs ) >> good morning, illumination. good morning, innovation. good morning, unequaled inspiration. >> ( heartbeats ) >> schieffer: white house chief of staff william daley was supposed to
