now it's not really a speech robert farley about yet another disaster for the war in afghanistan new pictures have been printed by the l.a. times showing soldiers posing with the corpse of afghan insurgents then the e.p.a. is just released the first ever federal fracking rules but they let the industry off the hook to comply until twenty five teams are even talking about the double game of pleasing activists and the big industry and then jane cougar host of the young turks joins us to talk wall street taxes and the media's complicity and it all worked out all of that and more for you tonight including a dose of happy hour but first take a look at the mainstream media has decided to miss. all right so there have been congressional hearings going on over this g.s.a. scandal and lawmakers are getting really into playing bad cop during the questioning and so of course the mainstream media is absolutely loving it because it makes for some really good political theater and therefore t.v. . the senate is holding a hearing today to look into the extravagant g.s.a. conference that was held in

the asia pacific region and the australians seem more willing to admit it when we discuss it is robert farley sr professor at the university of kentucky and blogger at lawyer guns and money robert thanks so much for joining us tonight and their starters do you know more about the timeline here like i said today we have about two hundred marines that arrived. at the end of the day they're supposed to be twenty five hundred do we know when they're supposed to get there. i think for me over the course of the next few months i'm not sure of the exact timeline either but this course is that in the works for several months now since president obama's visit to australia and its future canberra and so forth and i think you're right that the australians seem very excited about it and talking about it in different terms than the americans are talking about it well yeah let's give let's give the viewers an example right so first we have australian defense minister minister stephen smith and he said we see this very much as responding and reflecting the fact of the world is moving into our parts of the w

by robert farley is an assistant professor at the university of kentucky a thank you for joining us here on r.t. in our pakistan's parliament is recommended that the u.s. be prevented from launching drone missile attacks on pakistani soil if washington refuses what will happen then do you think. i think that there are several steps that we could look at in terms of escalation pakistan has already severely limited the amount of logistical support that can travel through pakistani territory to arrive in afghanistan but we could also conceivably see some measures to try to kinetic measures to try to shoot down or prevent drones from operating in pakistan we could also see more diplomatic measures in terms of withdrawing them basters there's still a long way to go in terms of deterioration of directions between the u.s. and pakistan now washington seems willing to stall cooperation with pakistan but it hasn't offered an apology for the s.g.i. debt so how much of a stumbling block is that. i think it's a significant stumbling block although at the same time. i can understand from nato as a po

taken more than three years ago so how does that change things or joining me to discuss it is robert farley sr professor at the university of kentucky and blogger at lawyers guns and money robert thanks so much for joining us tonight and i guess for starters you know here we go again what are your comments on on these protests well i think you're absolutely right to say that it seems like it's just been one thing after another first we had the regulation video and then we had the koran burning and then we had the massacre. just right after that and so it seems as if every month where there has been another serious incident with regards to the behavior of u.s. forces in afghanistan now also this did happen a couple years ago but the timing has made it seem to sort of a rat a tat tat alarming things quickly continue no sense presence of blood we're going to continue nato presence in afghanistan and i think we're all worried about what's going to happen in the next few days. well you know that's interesting you bring that up because of course the pentagon was asking the times not to print this
