significantly, where the cia officially asked iraqi prime minister ahmed hassan bad and his deputy saddam husseino the insistence and information of sam missiles up to 5554 and the mig-21 fighter made by the soviet union and they simply accepted that saddam's help to the united states during the cold war cannot be compared to any service, which caused a split among the arabs, the initiator of two great and terrible wars against the people of iran and economic financial resources and the cost of this war for iran and iraq has been several times the total income of the country from the beginning of the discovery and extraction of oil until the end of the war, which was paid to the arms manufacturing companies of the united states and its allies in the second persian gulf war , the middle-aged saddam hussein's attack on kuwait and then the attack by the united states and its military allies provided additional human casualties destroy billions of dollars in the reserves of arab countries. in addition to the fear and panic that this war created in arab countries , the united states arms companies sol

the president is hiding in this place this place has been the host of saddam hussein twice. saddam has taken refuge here to save his life. the first time was during the failed coup d'etat of 1338 against the then iraqi prime minister abdul karim qasim. it was the second time that saddam himself had escaped from american military forces. he did not find a more old hole than this . the us military officials did not even think that saddam was hiding in the safe house of their former ambassador. baghdad, 1338 a.s. qassem has been appointed as the prime minister of iraq iraq is continuously one of the 6 people. through the black link in iraq, an apartment on arshid street in baghdad, right in front of the ministry of defense and abdul karim qasim's office , was given to 20-year-old saddam. what is the ability of the iraqi minister to drive the car and kill him, but he hit saddam's feet? the failed assassination of abdul karim qasim was only wounded, so that the us ambassador was forced to let saddam's perpetrators escape, but why did the intelligence agency of the united states se

saddam hussein joined the iraqi baath party in 1336. shid street in baghdad, right in front of the ministry of defense and abdul karim qasim's office , 20-year-old saddam has been given access to the plan to assassinate qasim on wednesday, october 14, 1338. the failed assassination of the past abdul karim qasim was only wounded so that finally the ambassador of the united states was forced to let saddam's perpetrators flee, but why did the intelligence agency of the united states seek to kill the beloved iraqi prime minister by the young and inexperienced saddam hussein? everything in the arab land is a coup. the egyptian military under the leadership of gamal abdel nasser started against the king of this country. a young egyptian officer had established a nationalist government against the british. the people of iraq also wanted an anti-british revolution in their country . after the first world war, england had 10 years of absolute power in iraq was and has been for decades the traces of the british could be seen everywhere in iraq. th

and some were said to be pro saddam hussein. hundreds of other countries i know that i do not want to go to war for. this is the kind of discussion that we got where dissent was treated as unpatriotic. etc. i got more than 60 angry emails, all of them negative and i will recount the detail but publications i dealt with were less interested in running anything of mine much less on foreign policy, and even in this institute we felt the tremors of this debate, how difficult it was for some people to accept that this perhaps was not a good war. and what is very important and what bothers me the most out of all of this is the refusal of the foreign policy community to reconsider and rethink their positions. and to have any accountability for decisions that were made. there are few out there, and i know some of my friends might dare -- snare at these people and may be unhappy due to see. david from is someone who has indicated looking back that this did not turn out how they wanted. and indicating some reticence for pursuing those for

judge whether this is good enough to hit saddam hussein at the same time. not only osama bin laden, and quote. this idea of regime change, as i mentioned, had been percolating since the first gulf war, and was codified into law by president clinton in 1998 in the iraqi liberation act. i think for our purposes today, the iraq war is proof opposite of that at least under certain sets of circumstances, ideas really do matter. the united states undertook a massive social science experiment in iraq, both to rid it of allegedly menacing arsenal and to transform it into a linchpin of u.s. influence in the middle east. unfortunately, of course, it did not work out that way. throughout the course of this afternoon, you will hear a lot about the arguments that took place at that time, in 2002 and 2003. how the structure of our foreign policy debate today differs and may be similar in some ways to the debate of 20 years ago. but as we commemorate this decision to invade a rock, we keep in mind the costs, roughly two trillion dollars according to brown university's cos

if you opposed the war you were sent to be pro saddam hussein. and that there were hundreds of other countries i don't want to go to war, in my pro their rulers as well? this was the kind of discussion that was -- dissent was treated as unpatriotic, et cetera. i remember one article i got more than 60 airy emails and responses all of them are negative and what work of the details but the publications i don't with, shall we say, grew much less interested in running anything a mine, let alone my foreign policy work. even here at the institute we felt some of the tremors of this debate. how difficult it was for some people to accept that, perhaps, this was not a good war. i think what bothers me the most out of all of this was the refusal in most of the foreign policy community to reconsider and rethink their positions. to have any accountability for decisions that were made. there are a few out there. some of my friends my occasionally sneer at these people but nevertheless i'm very happy to see what they said. max boot for example. fred fukuyama.

but think for yourself, this is somehow strange rhetoric of saddam hussein causes serious concern ifhas no basis. really he is not afraid the president is only afraid of losing power. which is long overdue to burst. since the year it's good that you're back. now you understand me. considering all of the above , we can confidently state that there was no deal to sell uranium from niger to iraq. see here that this is all the documentation for the chinese order of 60.000 high-strength aluminum tubes 775, outer diameter 81 mm, wall thickness 3.3 mm, if i'm not mistaken. he's already back. you haven't talked to valeria yet. last time. i didn't see her in agency. next week there will be two more coasters in a week one more. as if these deliveries were not the last. aren’t you following the news, there will be a war , the americans simply don’t understand that a second stalingrad will begin here, what are you talking about? i know we will fight to the last. this earth will become. you, too, miss coffee now, please, one minute. thank coffee at night no snowflake. you courted one human rights

i think maybe a few individuals who were attached to the saddam hussein and the dictatorship but theregroup or any section of iraqi society was not against saddam hussein and not axing for help to get rid of them. it’s for help to get rid of them. it's 'ust for help to get rid of them. it's just been _ for help to get rid of them. it's just been over 20 years since the us—led forces entered iraq and evaded invaded iraq, do you and the iraqi people think that was the right thing to do? i iraqi people think that was the right thing to do?— right thing to do? i think, as i said, right thing to do? i think, as i said. we _ right thing to do? i think, as i said, we asked _ right thing to do? i think, as i said, we asked for _ right thing to do? i think, as i said, we asked for the - right thing to do? i think, as i - said, we asked for the international community to help iraq, to get rid of the dictatorship. that wasn't a secret message. it was an open message. 0ur secret message. it was an open message. our entire iraqi oppositions, and populations, were seeking international help to get r

he predicted that if donald trump gets charged with a crime, he will sound like saddam hussein. and last night in new jersey, he really did. and so, doctor -- will join us at the end of the hour for his analysis. >> i will be tuning in for it, and see how many more psychiatrists sign on after that. >> okay, as of 10:01 pm tonight, it's 37. and maybe by tomorrow, he could bring in some more. >> let's get it up to 50. all right, have a good show. >> thank you. al>> we have breaking news this hour from the washington post under the headline trump rejected lawyers efforts to avoid classified documents indictment. the washington post is reporting that one of donald trump's lawyers tried to settle the documents case in the weeks after the fbi executed a search warrant at donald trump's florida residents, and seized 100 documents marked classified, and thousands of other government documents. this is exactly what most lawyers expected, serious lawyers to try to do on donald trump's behalf, try to settle the case then, without going to a trial. the washington post is reporting tonight t

america, the cia, indirectly and permanently obtained the origin of the weapons used to check saddam hussein or sayyed , whether iraq has enough equipment and weapons power and strong military forces to face iran or not, war eight. the year of iran and iraq in the last two hundred years was the first confrontation of the iranian nation with a foreign enemy in which even a single part of the country's soil was lost . iran is a source of pride for generations the future knew that a review of some of imam khomeini's expressions describing the years of holy defense can be heard, for example, imam khomeini's message to the muslims of iran and the world and the pilgrims of baitullah haram on the 6th of august 1966. the war is not on our shoulders, and our experienced and trusting people, with the help of the holy nature of kabriya, the one and only, the oppressed, and the many problems of plans and operations, and enough to train the troops, the need for weapons of our country has been overcome. from 1972 until the middle of the iran-iraq war, baghdad did not have only one interest protection offi

with the great help of saddam hussein, i entered our country, and they created many wonders in our border cities, and now the issue of secession is actually in the western city of islamabad . these are against our people in terms of the same grudge they had and could not they had to cover their roles and act in an online game of great treason. besides these recent events, they will also ask questions from your opinion. the video report of their friend, let's go back, continues. he says that he has been deprived of seeing his family for 21 years and the duty they imposed on him and his activities. cyber and collecting information from users has been against iran, which the separated member of the group of hypocrites has presented in an interview with the touch panel program of german tv . protests for burning banners and in order to set fire to the banks of the government of iran, government centers from the other side of the group of hypocrites from this separated member, a separate report implied that in the days of iam around october and november of last year, about 13 thousand user acc

after resolution 598 was passed, i entered our country with the great help of saddam hussein, and he created a lot of research in our border cities, and now he is talking about secession. i set fire to the hospital and many other places that are against our people the same grudge that they had and could not cover their roles and the society, syanin's big betrayal and doing it next to his wife, accompany the picture and he will ask questions about the recent events in germany. the video report of their friend says that he has been deprived of seeing his family for 21 years. and the task they imposed on him was to carry out cyber activities and collect information from users against iran, which the separated member of the group of hypocrites has presented in an interview with the top channel program of german tv . based on a series of professional trainings he wants to teach us the youth in iran and incite us to protest, to set fire to banners, to set fire to banks of the government of iran , government centers, on the other hand, in addition to revealing the secrets of the hypocrite g

, this is a waiting eye, a real motherhood reveals the crimes of the hypocrites, not allowing saddam hussein to enter ashraf. for the ears of our children, the first time we went with a small and red speaker , and after that, with a speaker almost like a trumpet, the testimony of a disabled soldier in the operation of marsad and the making of this film can be seen. the percentage of their embryos is the possibility of carrying weapons and fighting every night even though there are no preparations he didn't have a copy of the calendar of holy defense at the time of all the hypocrites in the country of the category of hypocrites in movie scripts, but it was also seen in the past years, for example, the terrorist and anti-human nature of this sect was depicted in the film red blood produced in 2017 and 16 and 17 thousand the budget document was studied and the honeymoon was the event that is shown on the screen, fighting with the other elements of the mediators and crimes of this group before the revolution in the story of nimroz, produced in 1995. i think it is necessary to see this movie to g

rally of 11 silent men on sunday at first iraqi citizen, the criminal regime of military dictator saddam husseinr the country is free. you are free. you heard what they say, we're free. are you all free?

despite their reputation, despite all the alliances that they formed in the past with saddam hussein,e they would co—operate with anybody. just a quick thought on reza palavi and whether he is a credible partner? he was considered a credible partner but he quit. and i am not that sure next time he will want to be included in any coalition. before we end, let's talk about diplomacy. you spend a lot of your life on the road in washington and brussels and all sorts of political capitals trying to rally support both for the kurdish — iranian position but also the wider sense of an opposition to the islamic regime. the iranians say, actually, you have become a puppet of israel and that there is evidence you send agents working for israel to iran on sabotage missions. is this true? no, it's not true. the iranian regime have always tried to portray the iranian kurds as violent secessionists, agents of foreign countries, this is a lie. and they accuse everybody whoever is dissident, whoever has a critical point about the regime, as being agents of israel and the united states and britain, of

sentence that once again surprised his audience and said, "god save the queen of england, i am saddam hussein'sam mobina ." president's words and behavior the united states has intensified the doubts about his health condition, it should have addressed the british prime minister as the president last week . the st. petersburg economic complex was held in russia with the presence of 130 countries of the world. in this meeting, the president of russia emphasized the gradual destruction of the unipolar system . he sent political and economic messages to the world from the city of saint petersburg, the second largest city. russia opened its doors to the economic representatives of dozens of countries. 14,000 businessmen from 130 countries in one of the most famous economic meetings the world attended and presented big and important plans. by holding this economic forum, russia once again emphasized its economic and commercial centrality, despite the western sanctions, and based on the theory , we did not isolate ourselves, but cooperated with companies that play an important role in our economic de

saddam hussein, let's start with hazrat ali, the first two years , the importance and goals of the saudi foreign minister's visit to tehran, even though the excuse is that these relations have been with india for a long time. there have been things between the two countries that have been neglected because of these relations, and now those relations and these capacities can be used . the two countries reached this point that they cut off communication between the other two countries and extra-regional countries use it. one of the important issues in this regard was the reduction of security in the region and the presence of the zionist regime . and oil and have significant cooperation in connection with the year of the islamic world. during these seven years, the capacities were left on the ground and others are taking advantage of it, so it seems that the future prospects for bilateral cooperation are very bright and both countries are committed to this. reached the point that after the round of negotiations that our report indicated that this action should be taken so that the existenc

the war weapons that saddam hussein ghiathi was checking to make sure whether iraq has enough equipment and weapons power and strong military forces to face iran or not . foreign enemy it was that even one part of the country's soil was lost, this great honor during imam khomeini's lifetime , we have many speeches and messages that in one word considered this period of iran's history as a source of pride for future generations. imam khomeini's description of the years of holy defense should be heard, for example, imam khomeini's message to the muslims of iran and the world and the pilgrims of baitullah al-haram on the 6th of august 1966 . and we rely on the one and only test for the oppressed and the many problems of the plan the operations, mobilization and training of the forces have been overcome by the need for weapons in our country. from 1972 until the middle of the iran-iraq war , the united states had only one interest protection office with 14 diplomas in baghdad . in 1984, america officially started its relations with iraq after the announcement of iraq's withdrawal from the l

eighties, thanks to the export of oil, kuwait became one of the richest states in the world, but saddam hussein leader from neighboring iraq, invaded kuwait several times, which eventually served as a pretext for the gulf war. june 19, 2012. juliana sange. asked for asylum at the ecuadorian embassy in london, an australian journalist , the founder and inspirer of the wikilex project, which was published. secret documents was forced to hide from persecution washington the wikileaks project as a whole. i myself in particular considered a great threat to national security. he lived in the ecuadorian embassy for 7 years, but in 2019, under a far-fetched pretext, the ecuadorians refused to continue to shelter the journalist and he was arrested by the british police. the states have been seeking extradition from britain for many years. ah, sanja, as a criminal. in america, he faces up to 175 years in prison. now the process of extradition of assange in the united states in london and other places of thousands of supporters has been launched. free speech comes out to rally in defense of the great whis

turned against the state during the war and they went to europe and then they went and fight for saddam hussein. and they became despised because you don't turn against your own country during war, especially when the war is being directly or indirectly imposed upon you by aggressive western powers. and obviously the world was watching very close to yesterday. just briefly. how is this covered in iran? how much tension was made to the situation? well, in the wrong, there are 2 attempts. one is i would say the majority who are very critical of the west and the united states and very politically aware us. and they saw through the western propaganda immediately made did not believe that there would be any change in moscow. and they did not want any change in moscow. and there is this a pro western liberal minority who will believe anything that comes out of washington or london, whether it's cnn or bbc persian. it doesn't make a difference. and they will usually mimic what they have to say and repeat their claims and statements. so they were cumulated because uh they were saying that basically all

saddam hussein with hazrat ali, let's start with one year, the first two parts, the importance and goals of the saudi foreign minister's visit to tehran, although it is good for you, for this period of time that these relations have broken, what are the capacities between the two countries due to the interruption relationships are mixed and now it can be from those relationships and from this in the name of allah, the most merciful, the most merciful, while offering the courtesy of dr. seifi and dr. jamshid, i would like to tell you that in fact, both nations and both countries have reached the point that the disconnection between the two countries and the extra-regional countries in they use it, one of the important issues in this regard was the reduction of security in the region and the presence of the zionist regime . have significant cooperation with the issues of the islamic world in these seven years, the capacities and land were left and others are taking advantage of it , so it seems that the future prospects for bilateral cooperation are very bright, and both countries reached

under the oil -for-food program, the restriction was lifted only in 2003 after the overthrow of saddam hussein limitation of sovereignty as a way to ensure the stability of relations and peaceful development was previously an accepted practice, once worked, as in the case of finland or for example belgium in the 19th century in other cases, as with germany forks of clashes. usually due to the greed of the powerful when they tried to survive, at most in the 21st century, the imposed limitation of sovereignty is considered the recognition of informal spheres of influence. this is a bullshit, whether it’s a formal expansion of nato than an illegal expansion of the sphere of influence , the voluntary process will object to this they want under the influence of yielding sovereignty all of eastern and central europe, they do it in russia, they are afraid, but here is a rich topic, how voluntariness is ensured, the public mood in modern politics is formed, as you like, do not let the people take their own course. after all, the ukrainian conflict should understand its will correctly, it consists of m

storm in the persian gulf, the best military company of all time, i remind you, was opposite saddam hussein, who two years earlier, her husband gave money for weapons those wars that have unleashed america all over the world in recent decades , they, if necessary, are business projects and are aimed again at extracting dene. zhnoy arrived, or to protect those profits that have already been received from a particular country from a particular region. this can be seen in the example of the war in iraq, a, which was subordinated, a to the interests of the oil loop, a , which, uh, provided, a, and from which the family received its share, and finally. george w. bush has the title of the most stupid president in history according to the university of pennsylvania iq georgics fight 91 points. his americans blame the september 11 tragedy for the failed afghan war. finally, it was with his victory in 2001 that they started talking about the fact that democratic elections are just a decoration and falsification of the elite, everything was decided long ago after the terrorist attack, on september 11

we didn't realize that the sanctions were enabling saddam hussein to make a whole bunch of cash off. it was in his interest to keep sanctions on. so it wasn't a it's not impossible for me to be sympathetic to somebody say, oh, they've got weapons. based upon his behavior. but i think we got lost. i think we i think rumsfeld wanted to demonstrate that he could do with the smallest possible. he obliterated the power doctrine, which was really important. it's sort of that lesson i learned in demolitions. calculated amount of c4 you need and multiply it by two. that's what he did. this is what it's going to take to win desert storm. you multiply it by two. and if the american people are not supportive, we're not going to do it. and then it turned the whole purpose around. he didn't care about democracy in iraq the same way in afghanistan. we drove the taliban out in six months with special operations and cia people. and then what did rumsfeld do? we can't stop until we can kill bin laden, which is, what, eight years later? so, yeah, there's so much. and the decision making about the both

they didn't get that because after the fall of saddam hussein they were abundant. if it's taken 20 years for abundant. if it's taken 20 years for a more stable iraq to emerge, which are interview suggest, and if it's been largely done by the iraqi people than being a post on them on the outside which is harder to do, you can cease it why someone like the new president would think 2003 was beneficial to the country. there is no doubt the countries are better place now than the night before the invasion in 2003. it's been an unimaginablejourney to invasion in 2003. it's been an unimaginable journey to get there. stephanie, when you look at the way in which a country evolves over time, is difficult to imagine what country would have been had the american led troops not entered 20 years ago. american led troops not entered 20 earsauo. ~ , ., , years ago. absolutely. i really feel for the president _ years ago. absolutely. i really feel for the president when _ years ago. absolutely. i really feel for the president when you're - for the president when you're talking — f

but then everyone knows how president burg jr. invaded iraq, overthrew saddam hussein of the iraqi government were no weapons of mass destruction, and it was these weapons that were the pretext for the american action. well, we are all we know how the united states and its allies overthrew and killed the ruler of libya, moana. gaddafi already in 2011. well, you know, after that, say seriously that russia did not have the right to use force against ukraine it seems to me, it seems to me that this is just ridiculous and , uh, i will add. military pressure. direct attack against donetsk lugansk why do i mention this to you? yes, because i mention that when the united states struck serbia, the argument was that, and serbia used very harsh methods to suppress the albanian population, kosovo, and under this pretext an aggression against serbia was committed that even high-ranking american diplomats recognized what it was? as they delicately expressed themselves , any technical violation of international law if the united states had the right to attack serbia. why did russia not have the right and o
