for example, when george bush and the senate led us into iraq, it was an abuse of patriotism that george w. bush had so much support that we allowed along with vietnam to get us into iraq which is a trap. and the same thing, this freedom of speech to be able to criticize our government, and foreign governments for example, the 3.8 billion that goes to israel every year. and the best way to stop terrorism is to get control of israel and their abuse of the people and in this country, folks are, they have a hard time expressing that without being smeared as, smeared and demonized. >>. >> host: robert. mister rather, you wanted to respond? >> guest: there's a lot in question and we're discussing a good deal of it. one of thepoints i may be in the book , i'm not sure i stateddirectly, but number one, going into iraq , by a reasonable analysis , there is a strategic disaster. of historical proportions. and we in this country and thmadam in much of the world,, i acknowledged what the united states that i along with other people in the press did not ask enough questions as we were being taken in

disconnect the american people have our role in the world because for example, when george bush led us into iraq with the abuse of patriotism that george to be bush we allowed the neil:to get this into iraq which was a trap also freedom of speech to criticize our government or foreign governments that goes to others every year the best way is to get control of israel in their views of the people. and people have a hard time expressing that to be smeared and demonized. >>. >> guest: there was a lot in the question but one of the points i make i'm not sure i stated that directly but number one, by any reasonable analysis with iraq was a strategic disaster of historical proportions. we have paid the price for that for very long time so i along with others in the press did not ask the question was we were taken. that was the mistake on my part. but the question now with what unites us is to keep in mind what you just said. a fiercely independent press with freedom and democracy with a check on power to ask the tough questions and don't be afraid to ask those questions. but a leading up to the rappor

i appreciated the president and his leadership after 911 but they got us into this iraq war which is assive problems that the bush family, the bush presidencies, got us into that we are still trying to get out from under and cost us lies and american tax dollars and i'm so disappointed in the bushes but is not surprising because it's all about them. they have a selfish attitude of those statements and i never heard them say anything about barack obama for eight years and they lose all credibility when they do this. abby: that makes it hard to for people who have a lot of respect for the bushes but also are fans of president trump and they hear statements like this and it's tough for them to wrap their head around. >> count me as one of those. i have respect for the bushes in their service to the station but when they say things like this they lose their credibility and quite honestly, their leadership and their presidencies are now tarnished in my opinion by these very selfish acts. >> you are not the only one. a lot of what the bushes said validated what the bushes felt and one of th

international court of justice maybe because of prosecuting some of the people that got us into libya as you can see here in iraq actually that's nine hundred where i think a lot of brit only as oh yeah i'll be happy now when there are no jobs yes he moves to paris and another advantage of leaving the european union we can do what we like with animals were whole lot exactly any level dev's or one of the liberty of spades is the independent listen up now the independent reports the tories have voted the animals can't feel pain as part of the e.u. bill marking the beginning of our anti science breck said independent has reported that the conservatives have voted that animals are not sentience and then we get this right they have no emotions or feelings including the ability to feel pain if you kick a dog apparently the dog won't feel any pain that's a surprise to anyone who's a dog or seen a dog howl and we need this so that the upper classes get a hard and violent those foxes surely this is another reason it's a little bit and we'll be in with the trump children killing while the other more simple elephants well

could have more forces in syria and iraq than i said mitt now the called into findings by the think tank the us defense manpower data center its latest report suggests there are almost two thousand u.s. soldiers in syria washington there fishel claims that just over five hundred while in iraq now think tanks because the more than three thousand higher the pentagon says the official figures quoted in the reports were only initial estimates. the d.m. d.c. numbers are not the official deployment count the numbers that we provided the approximately five hundred in syria and approximately five thousand in iraq is the official deployment count well off middle east analyst early risk why washington is holding back on the tree figure the american public is exhausted it's against any increase in troop presence and so i think that the pentagon is very intent on keeping this message that it has a low level of troop presence in order not to in order not to lead to an outburst or an outcry from the american public which as i said is very war weary and would be very much for the very much object to submit in

we are hearing that there are a significant number of civilians within the area of iraq into a crisis part of told us that they want to try and avoid civilian casualties that's why it's taken a number of days to prep for this particular operation what they did was they took villages in the outskirts of iraq but in the early hours of this morning they went into the center problem itself what they've been doing is they've been fighting with the last pockets i saw lights is that a lot of us places every state across the border into safe havens with syria so this is likely to be an operation that won't take as long as say for some mosul we are expecting it to come to an end family but the iraqi army they are set to civilians living here in these big white flags above the houses have also used the radio transmitters to say it's isis fighters by the surrender or come to surrender and let's see what we can do with what we're hearing right now is that they're in this center of the town itself now this is significant because it's the last remaining i see some boats out if that's taken today that's something t

a terrorist group, arguably a bunch of hugs to crossing the border from syria into iraq and seizing and bar province using maneuver warfare, military tactics and that is one of the biggest challenges we face today. it is no longer just terrorism. terrorism is perpetrated by a small number of people with limited capacity for violence and not a lot of armaments but we see across erie and other places groups that have military capability in excess guerrilla, insurgent groups and semi state groups use a variety of violent means including terrorism. terrorism is just one weapon among many that is wielded when it suits their purposes. in hezbollah's cased, 6 or 7 years ago the terrorist attack in bulgaria, international terrorist attack and when it doesn't suit them, what i find alarming, to have this range of other capabilities beyond terrorism, that can be destabilizing. the fact that hezbollah has more than they can target his real and suicide bombers, the best exemplar of how the field or the phenomena in has changed so profoundly and mixes and matches factors we associate with established nationstates and

show that does that because neither one of us fit into the establishment narrative and i got to say let me just disagree with rocky slightly talks about to iraq slightly disagree with them where the danger comes and look the see i have been reading the history of the cia in light of the new j.f.k. stuff to come out the cia's first operation one nine hundred forty eight was interfering in the italian election right was literally the first thing that they did they spent one hundred million dollars that's history that's not propaganda that's it's on the cia web site that's what they admit that they did so this history goes back actually to the ford foundation information the cia so on i wish want to take up on one thing that mark is said to people getting called things i've been called multiple times on twitter a traitor and i've had people say stuff like traitors get shot yet right. and nothing happens to the people nothing happened no no no no because it's because a chef to be it's acceptable when some people can use hate speech it's acceptable when they use it but not others that's another double standard right gentlemen we've rapidly run out

being a terrorist group to arguably a bunch of funds to crossing the border from syria into iraq and and bar province using medieval warfare, military tactics and that's one of the biggest challenges we face is that it's not no longer justterror , terrorism is something that leads historically to perpetrated by small numbers of people with a limited capacity for violence with not a lot of armaments but we see across syria but many other places groups that we said a moment ago that have military capability in excess of the local and regional forces. so what i argue in the book actually is that you have to use a continuum where guerrilla and insurgent groups and semi state groups use a variety of violent means including terrorism which to bear their ends. terrorism is just one weapon among many and is yielded when they feel it suits their purposes and in has velasquez, it was seven years ago there was a terrorist attack in bulgaria.for example, an international terrorist attack when it doesn't suit them, nonetheless what i find alarming is to have this range of other capabilities that go beyond terrorism tha
