"I Know Why Cheney Went Into Iraq!" Colonel Wilkerson

[subhanrukh]

Bush's policy was better than Obama. Obama's starting a new war, he's invading a nation's sovereignty. He's going to steer us into another war, which will last a lot longer than Iraq/Afganistan. As they have the 7th biggest army in the world, and actually have weapons unlike Iraq/Afghanistan.

[itismepicasso]

ok I want to puke. bin laden was CIA & most world terrorists from south america to africa to middle east to ireland to china to everywhere in the world; IT IS USA THAT IS FINANCING, RECRUITING & DIRECTING 99% OF ALL TERRORISTS ON EARTH. now wake up. Musharaf, Hussein, Bin Laden etc. all put in power by USA. wake up please. Visit my website mayabell. com

[MrRonPaul2012]

Israel gets billion more and they sell our US secrets.......but that's ok.

[Dinglerhill187]

I'm a Democrat but MSNBC is just too bias come on report all news not just news that helps your party's political gain MSNBC is sounding more like fox news

[IsaacKarjala]

@Dinglerhill187 owned by GE, aka one of thew largest war profiteers there is. NBC is trying to start a war, no fucking shit.

[Hellu235Sing]

Does this jackass for a former YT realize that Obama nearly put us on the brink of nuclear WORLD WAR 3?

[NIKKElsix]

~• BEWARE OF THA DiCK •~

Wasn't nixon also called D_i_C_K?

If cheney was really president during bush's 1st term, then it was under his rule that America was ATTACKED by their old oil buddy osama & his saudi arabian goons.

YES, ALL the 9-11 terrorists were saudi arabians, So where was the saudi INVASiON?

[ahsan53i]

i am Pakistani we people don't need your money , all Pakistanis hate your money . we dont need US aid only politicians are need your money. dont be fool and stop your aid plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. 

[ji94552]

@ahsan53i Tell that to your government. In fact YOUR government asked more money.

[IsaacKarjala]

@ji94552 dumb ass, maybe you should stop arming dictators against "their own" people.......

[slippingsnake]

btw, it was the ISI (Pakistan secret service) who build up the Taliban with US money + other support (to counter sowjet engagement in Afghanistan from 1980 on).

However- if Cheiny only had interest in Iraq's oil they could have made a deal with Hussein, saving a lot of lifes and money.

Also the Iraq war raise the risk that Iran pops out and set the whole middle east on war in which case the trading routes would become targets...

(makes no sense to me)

[Salvysahagun]

O for christ sake in 1999 no body even knew Pakistan was a country!

[0318kent]

Damn this new caster used to be in a little show thing called tyt or something? With this hot girl but now his on msnbc and shit

[quickpickandthick]

I always felt Cheney was the "bull" and Bush was the "red cape". That being said, who's to blame here? Cheney or Bush for heading into war for... uh... a number of things?

[sintruder]

Fire Cenk double Dylan Ratigan's time

[sintruder]

The young jerk is an ass hole. This video is pabulum for the simple minded. Bush was a shitty president! Cenk is over simplifying some very complex issues. Most of the people who make jokes about how stupid Bush is aren't smarter than him. People want to keep complementing Obama very making an extremely dangerous decision that is still unfolding, to further destabilize a very unstable nuclear power. All the people at CIA NSA & FBI aren't much different than the people there under BUSH

[cjrodrigs]

Well..Obama's name will endured as the one Who got Bin Lande..Bush what that heck happened..Doesnt matter how much oil you get from Iraq ..if the lossess are too much.. A lot of money..Damn if you want money give it to me i only want a million and they expend billions i need to walk away go to the park..or something to walk it out because im mad, mad ill tell you There are no jobs, Im tired, and REPUBLICANS ARE JUST WASTING MY TIME

[wolfdaddy205]

,,r.i.p. Tim Russert...

[CamillaCalamity]

I have no reason to believe that BL is recently dead, hasn't been dead for months or years, or is not still alive. He had a lot of money. Plus this presidential office and the last one loved to lie to the American people. I am not a sheep anymore! I will never believe what they tell me just because they are telling me.

[srchoed7]

A clip from 1999. I know we (liberals) love to smack Bush in the back of the head but that reach was just stupid.

[quickpickandthick]

@srchoed7 lol, I agree. Thing I didn't get is if he was running for president, wouldn't he have known about these kind of vital issues? That's not even Bush hate, that's just common sense.

[TheGreatPenetrator]

Cheney will go to jail. That's how you "put your neck on the line" you stupid criminal.

[MrAlwaysAmerican]

It doesn't surprise me that Cheney made that decision. We have the very BEST of Intel gathering in the World. We know more about all situations that the common man would not understand nor care about. Don't bash a first term President for making some quick hard decisions. Remember we had Democrat Presidents that did NOTHING to these people when the attacked us here and abroad before 9-11! No matter if you feel it was OIL driven or not, thousands of Iraqi people lost there lives to Hussein.

[Oilwellian]

Finally, a respected official of the Bush era admits to oil as the reason why we've killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis, had thousands of Americans killed, and tens of thousands are now permanently injured. I've had the name "Oilwellian" for years and this admission by Col. Wilkerson is proof positive the American people have been successfully propagandized to accept war as a means to steal another nation's natural resource. We should be ashamed. WWJD?

[oldpol1]

and no one here is discussing the fact that it was finally admitted that we went to Iraq for oil not terrorists. All our soldiers lost for oil, all the taxpayers money gone to make those sobs more money.

[Hawkflieslow]

This dumb ass does not get it. The US government knows what Pakistan knows and does not know. We pay them to know and not to know. The US Government is running Al CIA DA...it is a US funded, Trained, and operated force. It started with the CIA and it will end with it. IT IS A STRAW MAN to KEEP THE AMERICAN PEOPLE EYE OFF THE BALL. WE ARE BEING ROBBED BY THESE CROOKS. RIGHT LEFT MAKES NOT DIFFERENCE THEY ARE ALL CROOKS.

[getplaning]

Nations go to war for economic reasons. We all learn this is prep school. It was always about the oil.

[gsuitter]

The reason we went to Iraq, is that the same reason Obama is going to stay there? You know it.

Ron Paul 2012

[kryptonickraze]

Why does everyone hate on Cenk so much? I think he's a great reporter, I agree with a lot of his views.

[Bozo1360]

Now that Wilkerson has told the truth, the far right wing will have to attack his credibility. Hannity and Limbaugh will have to get right on it. We can't have the truth about the Bush Administration out there, it might damage the party of the rich. Even the brainwashed Fox watchers might get a glimpse of reality.

What happened to the economy? Two wars and a huge tax cut for millionaires. 

[IsaacKarjala]

@Bozo1360 watch how quickly the Democrats become war hawks as soon their anointed savior gets elected....... NBC is owned by GE, a major war profiteer, and you retards treat their war mongering like it where the gospel truth.... and yea, top members of the Pakistani Government have known since December of 2001 that Osama had died of kidney failure earlier that month...... heh, who would think that someone living in a cave hooked up to a dialisis machine would die from kidney failure? WTF?

[SmittyNmo]

Osama got his way. It's all about getting back at the US. It's all about the money and making the US bankrupt. Since 9/11 our defense budget has tripled. Now look at the economy. Hey, I got an idea. Lets get all our people back on our soil. Why we're still in Japan, S Korea, etc... is beyond me. Cut the defense budget to pre 9/11 status. If anyone has an issue, just give us a call and we'll analyze the situation and get back with you.

[beltonism]

With 30 years of CONSTANT military intervention around the planet by USA, I know why USA will fail.

[leechmasterb]

@beltonism

Actually it's been more than 30 years and over 100 invasions, but yeah people do not see the reality.

[iTellYouNoLie]

6:08 Cenk kisses Obama's ass once again by steering it back to a republican.

[MarmaladeINFP]

@iTellYouNoLie

I have a secret to tell you.

Guess who started the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq?

It was a Republican president.

[iTellYouNoLie]

@MarmaladeINFP Guess who continued those wars, escalated them, and started more, like Libya? It was the douche-bag democrat who's in there now. My point was that Obama-nut-huggers always sway the conversation away from their "leader" by blaming a republican, when the democrats are just as complicit. fuck the two party duopoly.

>:P

[MarmaladeINFP]

@iTellYouNoLie If Republicans hadn't started the wars, Democrats couldn't have continued and escalated them. I'm not defending Democrats because I'm not a Democrat. I'm just pointing out the fact that Republicans have a history of war-mongering (although Blue Dog Democrats aren't shy about war, just not to the extent of the far right Republicans). The rightwing mentality makes it prone to war-mongering.

benjamindavidsteele.wordpress. com/2011/01/28/do-rightwingers­-love-war/

[iTellYouNoLie]

@MarmaladeINFP as if gore/LIEberman wouldn't have done the same thing?

>:P

[MarmaladeINFP]

@iTellYouNoLie They might have. But they wouldn't have gone to such extremes and with such zealotry as only a rightwing fundy can do. A Democratic president would have been more likely to wait for the UN to finish its inspections in Iraq before deciding to invade. A Democratic president would have been more likely to multilateral support from other countries before starting such wars. Maybe the results would have been similar and maybe not. I'm not a fan of either party.

[iTellYouNoLie]

@MarmaladeINFP LIEberman wrote the Iraq resolution, there wouldn't have been ANY waiting for the UN.

[zebbedi]

@iTellYouNoLie You kiss Bush's ass once again.

[iTellYouNoLie]

@zebbedi fuck bush, fuck obama, they are basically the same.

[falcoperegrinus82]

@iTellYouNoLie Cenk kissing obama's ass? When the hell has that ever happened? You clearly have not seen enough of Cenk.

[iTellYouNoLie]

@falcoperegrinus82 Cenk has kissed Obama's ass plenty of times, I'm glad he has woken up to the sham lately, but he used to cover for Obama constantly.

[exacerbatedtaboo]

What about Saudi Arabia? WHAT ABOUT SAUDI ARABIA???!!!!!

[Smarterthanyouarable]

When Iraq broke with OPEC and started selling oil on Euro the value of our dollar started dropping like a stone. Economic warfare. Our first act was to change that back. WMD's was fiction.

[sintruder]

The young jerk wants to go back to the roots of the democrat party & start a war in Pakistan

[smekese]

@sintruder You brained washed idiot.. The real fucking criminals are BUSH and CHENEY.. My fucking cousin got killed in Iraq cause he was lied to, and a true american he is he has to protect his country..

[sintruder]

@smekese Brain washed, go fuck your self I am sorry about as you put it your "fucking cousin" at what point did I say I agree with the invasion of Iraq? First of learn to read then buy a history book & you will find until very recently most wars have bean started by democrats. If you think we can fuck with an unstable sovern nation with nuclear weapons who can shut down supplies to our troops in Afghanistan which your pal Obama has doubled down on by sending even more troops.

[sintruder]

@smekese Obama is setting us up by spreading us even thinner than we all ready are & we will see how loved he is when they have no choice but to bring back the draft & more American kids come home mamed or in bags. This is a dangerous game & fucking uninformed people like your self will fuel this fire. More threats more drone strike more missle strikes. There will be a lot of dead just to prove dems aren't soft on security.

[therealaj123]

Okay, so while the Right revives the "torture works" debate, the Left now revives the "it was all about oil" debate? OBL's death really brought american politics full circle.

[seanlaca]

Amazing how the liberals have become the neocons. Pakistan is the next Iraq. Cenk playing along with the propaganda. Good job Cenk swerving your GE corporate pimps.

[BadSwineDOTcom]

And how has Obomber since changed our policy towards Pakistan... ::crickets chirping::

[UltraVert]

@BadSwineDOTcom

Well for starters he promised during the debates that he'd send small groups of armed forces into Pakistan if we had actionable intel on a high value target. Something McCain refused publicly and the republican party used to condemn Obama for.... saying that was proof he didn't have the experienced needed to conduct a war.

Guess what that policy change led to smart guy.

[BadSwineDOTcom]

@UltraVert

A election season stunt with someone who's been dead 10 years before promptly dumping the evidence in the ocean?

Is he torturing another U.S citizen?

Let me guess ground invasion of Libya or Syria or Yemen?

OH WAIT ALL 3!?!?!? TELL ME! TELL ME!

[AceHoale]

What's happening to Cenk?

Sad, neo-con stance brother.

I'm NOT amused.

But... see how that turns out for you.

Peas.

[starkweather444]

I know why Obama is in Libya too.

[DariusDaGreat86]

why are all these fuckin "journalists" so partisan? it's impossible to find a fair independent journalist in the ZOG media.

[Churchx77]

Its an opinion show, its not about news its about commentary. Its intent is to be partisan.

[rmccay88]

@DariusDaGreat86

Personally, I think there are three...Judge Napolitano, John Stossel and Dylan Ratigan and four if you count Jack Cafferty's 4-5 minutes he gets to opine each day on Wolf Blitzer's show. Other than that, the rest of the media is nothing but propagandists operating. I still wonder how the Judge is allowed on the air about some of the things he has said recently related to the CIA and other manners! He is getting real hardcore...

[IsaacKarjala]

@rmccay88 which is slightly concering, if they are genuine or not doesn't matter, if the establishment wants those views to get on the air there is a reason.

[EMPIREofPUPPETS]

WHY?

WHY?

OIL AND ISRAEL, THAT'S WHY.

[Churchx77]

Oh right of course, the jews why not.

[EMPIREofPUPPETS]

@Churchx77

If you don't think Israel benefited from 9/11, the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, US Bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, effectively Flanking Israel's other enemy, Iran, you don't know a damn thing about Geo-politics.

Neocons and Israel pushed America to war with Iraq before the dust had settled on 9/11.

That's just on record.

[Churchx77]

Man you conspiracy theorists take the shortest short cuts its sad you're not even trying to sound credible.

[EMPIREofPUPPETS]

@Churchx77

Is the current Al Qaeda Spokesman a Jewish kid from California, named Adam Pearlman? Yes or no?

Project for a New American Century, Harvard Study: Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy.

Look them up and educate yourself, because you sound like a fool.

[EMPIREofPUPPETS]

@Churchx77

The current AL Qaeda spokesman is Jewish, Adam Pearlman.

Wormser, Wolfowitz, Pearl, and Feith all the PNAC Authors wanted a "New Pearl Harbor" so they could push forward their agenda in the late 90s.

Also on record.

[Churchx77]

He converted to islam. As for your new Pearl Harbor. A lot of people wanted to go to war with Germany and they probably thought or had wed dreams about a catastrophe that would push America into war. Doesnt mean they were SECRETLY JAPANESE. You have such a disjointed argument that just proves you only see what you want to see. Again, making the biggest shortcuts to arrive at what you believe to be reality, not what it actually is.

[EMPIREofPUPPETS]

@Churchx77

Answer the question, is the Anti-American, Anti-Israel Al Qaeda a Jewish American?

Some pretty smart guys there in Al Qaeda huh?

Yes, yes he is.

Just another example of what a joke this is.

[Churchx77]

I answered your question, he converted.

[EMPIREofPUPPETS]

@Churchx77

Sure he did.

From a Jewish kid with an Arrest Record for attacking Muslims in front of a Mosque, to Al Qaeda spokesman.

And you say he converted, that's hilarious.

[Churchx77]

Theres nothing hilarious about that. A american jew who attacked muslims converts to islam after seeing the light. Thats a marketing ploy. Go on youtube right now and type 'converted to islam' and you'll see how muslims flaunt the converts to the world. They keep calling it the fastest growing religion even though its not. What about those criminals who probably hated the ragheads and then they go to jail. Convert to islam. Get radicalize, theres nothing special about him.

[Churchx77]

So again, you only see what you want to see. While what you see, isnt that uncommon from events that happen every day. Goodnight batshit.

[EMPIREofPUPPETS]

@Churchx77

Adam Pearlmen is his REAL name! Adam is the grandson of the late Carl K. Pearlman; a prominent Jewish urologist in Orange County. Carl was also a member of the board of directors of the Anti-Defamation League, which was caught spying on Americans for Israel in 1993, much as AIPAC has been caught up in the more recent spy scandal.

[EMPIREofPUPPETS]

@Churchx77

Formerly known as Joseph Cohen, al-Khattab is an American-born Jew who converted to Islam after attending an Orthodox Rabbinical school, which he later described as a “racist cult.”

The 39-year-old New York taxi driver launched RevolutionMuslim with the mission of “preserving Islamic culture,” “calling people to the oneness of God”

Hmm what an odd pattern seems to be forming.

[Churchx77]

Theres no pattern. Thats my point by the way.

[EMPIREofPUPPETS]

@Churchx77

You're in denial, or you're a liar.

[Churchx77]

Not really, I really dont see any evidence. I asked you for proof you provided rather far fetched shortcuts. 'His grandfather was part of a lobbying group therefor hes a mossad double agent'. Trust me if you could see it, the ruse wouldnt be working if there was one. You're the one in denial seeing only what you want to see. Life does not revolve around the jews and the CIA. And even if it did, which it doesnt, 14 million people controlling 6 billion people? Yeah I'd want those guys in charge.

[MrSuperpat]

Like this idiot knew who the generals name was before 9/11

[RealityHighlights]

WOW.. He calls the wars "Theaters" and actually ADMITS using al qaeda as a camouflage to get oil in Iraq! WHY DO PEOPLE STILL BLINDLY FOLLOW THESE MEN NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY LIE AND GET OUR PEOPLE KILLED!?!

[wehhabi]

Saudi Arabia financing al-Queada world wide and yet the Zionists controlling the media and pushing fpr a war against Iran.

Your foreign policy planned and designed in Tel Aviv, NOT IN Washington

[midevalcheese]

Jenk is a shill.

@midevalcheese you can't even spell his name but you are smarter than him??. u spam nazi robots are funny

[midevalcheese]

@superfuzz You govt ball suckers are STUPID.

Ask him what he thinks about how "different" Obama has handled with the financial situation in our country.

[chocomalk]

Cenk pushing the military agenda is just sad.

[izaccy]

@chocomalk what did he say to push military agenda wtf u talking about ?

[chocomalk]

@izaccy

Look at the context:

"Pakistan: Friend or FOE" is a title on one of the graphics.

Cenks response to America assassinating Osama and continued drone strikes in a foreign country is:

"You wanna talk tough on terror? That's how you do it".

I guess it's ok to send military forces and drones into any country as long as it is effective and in "Americas interest".

[timongarretson]

@chocomalk To be honest though, given the option of an illegal military occupation (Iraq + Afghanistan) vs. an illegal small tactical squad of assassins, I'd have to side with the small squad.

[chocomalk]

@timongarretson

I can agree to a certain extent. Unfortunately this seems as though it will escalate into such a mission, they have been itching to go in there for quite a while now. And with the CIA and US military being quite present in the area, you would think some suspicion would be cast their way, as they work quite closely with PAK intelligence and military forces.

If Bush was in charge, would Cenk support this action?

[timongarretson]

@chocomalk I thought about that. Would Cenk support this action if it were Bush? At first I would say absolutely not. However this action did get Osama Bin Laden so maybe Cenk would give him some lead way and maybe on his TYT show he would give him positive credit for it, but not on MSNBC. In the end I don't think it's likely.

On to Pakistan, there a lot of unanswered questions but at a glance it does all look questionable, and I hope we find some truth, whatever it is, in all this.

[chocomalk]

@timongarretson

Well said!

[zebbedi]

@chocomalk What? Did you even listen?

[chocomalk]

@zebbedi

Yup.

See my response to izaccy, as Youtube will flag me for spam if I copy and paste.

[Bozo1360]

@chocomalk

You are just sad. Cenk is not pushing a war agenda. Cutting off billions going to Pakistan is not an act of war, regardless of what the GOP thinks.

[chocomalk]

@Bozo1360

You are assuming things. Where did I imply that was my line of thinking?

[timongarretson]

@Bozo1360 If you think about it, in a way, giving aid to Pakistan may be viewed as an indirect act of war by the U.S. against countries that are enemies of Pakistan. "The friend of my enemy is my enemy" sorta thing, especially if it's true about Pakistan using the aid to beef up the military against India. I can't imagine that leading to a happy ending.

[Federaljacktube5]

@chocomalk He was done as soon as he signed a deal to be on MSNBC. S-E-L-L-O-U-T

[dodododa]

Wow, the liberals are really loving the drone attacks these days.
