Conversations With History - Robert Baer

[insan766]

A thousand splended lessons that can be learned from these words of wisdom, very informative on every level, religious , political and so on, very

[insan766]

Why isn't the world ruled by educated smart people like Baer ? A simple question

[palecos1]

Baer is a highly intelligent operative with very indepth first-hand experience of Iran. Superb interview!

[YFLOInternational]

"Ninjas with guns" ~ Superb interview! 8:13 especially ....

[claymoreman1010]

mad smart

[BryChe87]

The introduction music is horrendous.

[SamiZaatari]

@BryChe87 its strange to believe that this beat is still being used in 2009. lol.

[AMIANDZ2]

@SamiZaatari lol

[AMIANDZ2]

@SamiZaatari coz the host looks like a guy from the sixties

[Fawad056]

@ 23:36 ur referring to ur conversation with a Basiji in Tehran and u mention the arabic word for Suicide bomber. Why were u talking to a Basiji - Persian - in Arabic when Persian has its own word for Suicide? Do u not know that Arabic and Persian are two different languages? The Basijis are persians and speak Persian. Makes me wonder if this whole stroy is true?

[Fawad056]

@Fawad056 Sorry i meant 29:36.

[letstalkaboutstuff]

@Fawad056 Do yourself a favor and don't believe any of them. Protecting our country and the citizens are NOT what the CIA does. Not even close. In fact, a complete extreme opposite. This degenerate always goes around trying to make it look like he's a sort-of good guy...just typing that I feel slight vomit wanting to come up my throat. Most people would go into cardiac arrest if they were fully aware of what the CIA does. God only knows what they'll train his adopted Pakistani daughter for.

[letstalkaboutstuff]

First, most of us know their track record of terrorism, the drug trade, sex trade, arms dealing, training all Arab terrorists they now try to kill, training death squads in S. America. Someone tell all of us how they are even remotely American patriots? Secondly, who the hell believes or trusts ANY of them?

[NataiEndo]

what was operation ajax if we didnt do anything against iran?

[iancmcintyre]

CIA does a lot of good. Only an idiot would claim that they are "evil". And by the war I am too the Left of the Democratic Party I'm just not a nut like bellow.

[letstalkaboutstuff]

@iancmcintyre They run the drug trade, sent heroin back to the states in dead bodies of our soldiers for Vietnam, funded and trained OBL/ Majahadeen, death squads in South America to rape, torture and murder men, women, and little children, currently having a turf war in Mex, many part of a protected interntn'l pedophile network, they stashed their money in their fraud B.C.C.I., the same BCCI rooted in the UAE, that same UAE that repeatedly funded 911 in Pakistan. I guess we're all evil.

[truthmouthpiece2]

5'10 SOCIALIST!! where r the republicans when u need'em? lol I say lets send all critics of big business & of their political advocates and/or SOCIALISTS to a modern day gulag like, say, the rest of the world, & build big palaces all around america & nice shiny places with private soldiers defending them, coz lets face it: corporatism is a bitch but we wouldnt want to get bitten by anything else that cant have a freedom paper wrapped around its den

[LevonsWound]

ive read Sleeping with the Enemy and See no Evil and I am 50/50 with respect to his intent and true message.

[johnsammyanfal]

The CIA is the private army of the USA president. It exists not to gather political and military intelligence - the foreign correspondences of a quality newspaper usually do a better job. Rather it functions as the dirty fingure nails of the pentagon and governing administration using an unsupervised budget and engaging in all manner political criminality. A minor intellectual social outsider like Baer would probably feel at home with its frozen sensibilities.

[spiralarray1969]

that interviewer seems like a tool. robert baer is interesting though

[majesticmaniac]

CIA is the worst thing that has happened to the world since the nazis

[mdaniel74]

yes of course, socialism was losing support in chile, the economy was in crisis and polarization was evident... the issue at hand is not whether the military and tortures would have been avoided, if the CIA would not have gotten involved, the issue is more delicate, it´s a moral issue, if chile did not pose a real direct threat to the u.s. why get involved? Why train military of my country to torture and provide asistence in assesinations in other countries. Why glorify people like that?

[aznsbd]

They were afraid that you would become another Cuba, they did not want another soviet client state in the western hemisphere causing them trouble like cuba did with russian made ballistic missles in our hemisphere. Sometimes an issue isn't a simple black and white issue, sometimes you have to choose between the lesser of two evils. The CIA is suppose to serve American interest, if they didn't get involved I would argue that they were being negligent of their duties. They were being proactive.

[mdaniel74]

@aznsbd welll , what ever, there´s no point in continuing this discussion, we won´t see eye to on this matter... and it´s not an issue of being naive or not, i´m speeking from a personal view.... well, good luck... !  live long and prosper!!

[xMaXiMuSx]

This guy is a war criminal..

[Luishazong]

This guy is an idiot pretending to be smart. he smoked to dope in college, thats why teh CIA shouldnt recruit hippies.

There is no way we can ally with muslims as they all ultimately seek for all non muslim governments destruction. He is probably right tho, iran might be the most rational muslim coutry in the ME (not when they claim to wipe israel off the map) but Saudi Arabia is fuller of extremism i think.

Allying with Iran is opting for the lesser evil, but i say Fuck EVIL at all. fuck islam

[NizoumiPars]

@Luishazong you sound like you are doped up yourself.

Iran and Iranian Muslims have no problems with allying with the people of the United states.

Christianity and islam together with Judaism an zerostrianism  have lived side by side for centuries.

You may be referring to Wahabi form of Islam, I agree they o not acknowledge none-muslims. the irony is that Wahabism is the religion of the closest us ally in the Persian Gulf ....Saudi Arabia ..strange isnt it?

[Luishazong]

@NizoumiPars If Iran wasnt run by those Deranged Ayatollas, we would have absolutely no problem on being allies with them, but the way I see it, Iran wants to be a superpower in the region, and thats fine with me, just not with the agenda it is proposing, like destroying other countries and producing nuclear weapons.

If they where having a different approach about it my views would be different.

I think its a great country but being run by psychos atm.

[NizoumiPars]

@Luishazong

You shouldnt believe everything you hear or read...

The American government knows full well that Iran is not after nuclear weapons.

Current Israel/Palestinian setup is getting nowhere. 2 state solution is as dead as a Dodo.

Ahmadinejad and Iran do not want the destruction of Israel. The current Zionist dominated government in Israel has to go. One state One people.. referendum and elections to follow, this is what Ahmai said. He never meant physical destruction. .ZIONIST propagand

[Luishazong]

@NizoumiParsIm sorry but it was not zionist or any other typ of propaganda, I HEARD IT FROM THE LIPS OF AHMADINEJAD. he said, Israel must be WIPED OUT of the map. DESTROYED, he was not talking about changing its government. And even if he was, Iran has as much a right to change Israel's government as the USA has the right to Go into Iran and kill the ayatollahs and ahmadinejad and create new elections.

And yes, they are after Nukes, to impose influence over Saudia Arabia and the mid-east region

[Luishazong]

@Luishazong Im sorry but it was not zionist or any other typ of propaganda, I HEARD IT FROM THE LIPS OF AHMADINEJAD. he said, Israel must be WIPED OUT of the map. DESTROYED, he was not talking about changing its government. And even if he was, Iran has as much a right to change Israel's government as the USA has the right to Go into Iran and kill the ayatollahs and ahmadinejad and create new elections.

And yes, they are after Nukes, to impose influence over Saudia Arabia and the mid-east region

[NizoumiPars]

@Luishazong Do you speak or understand modern Persian (Farsi)?

If so ...you should know that he didnt mention Israel at all....he said the zionist regime ....

I was listening to one of Ahmadinejads interviews a few mins ago. Ahmai asked; were all 60mln pple killed during WW2 where military personnel/....the translater ..translates; where all those 60mln killed by the military?

[Luishazong]

@NizoumiPars Yes i spoeak a little bit of farsi, and dont be dumb, he said The Zionist Regime, REFERING TO ISRAEL AS A COUNTRY, The ONLY reason he did not call it ISRAEL is because he doesnt Even accept that theres a country called ISRAEL, thats how much he wants to destroy it. And somebody that want the DEATH of millions of people just because they believe something different than you is FUCKED UP, I will never trust the Ayatollah Regime, They are professional Deceivers and Liars

[NizoumiPars]

@Luishazong well you may be justified in your dislike of the Ayatollahs, but the game is bigger than ayatollahs or even Islam.

[Luishazong]

@NizoumiPars

its a "game" you are going to lose.

Still its the Shi'a Psychos that believe in the coming of the Al-Mahdi and the Muslim world war against non believers that are the real danger (including ahmadineyad and the Ayatollah within the group).

Still you guys have the story wrong, things wont happen as you think they will. And Islam will not conquer the world. The so called Mahdi is in fact the Anti-Christ if anything.

[NizoumiPars]

@Luishazong A couple of points; .shia believe that Mahdi will appear with Jesus Christ on his side. Mahdi and Jesus together will kill and destroy all the badis, (most of their victims will be from the religious leaders ranks).

I personally dont believe in pples second comings.

In a not so distant future Iran and the USA will kiss and make up as equals.

[Luishazong]

@NizoumiPars thats exactly my point when i said you guys got the story wrong.

Jesus will never kill or destroy ANYTHING, Unlike Muslims, Christians arent vioolent and sociopathic murders. Jesus said, Love your enemy, if they smack you ont he chick give the other chick instead of smacking back.

So when he comes, he wont be killing or destroying anyone, and even less next to a muslim.

Mahdi will not APPEAR with Jesus by his side.

[Luishazong]

@WillyBlythe Im sorry you feel this way, God is very real, Im sure you will feel him before you pass away :)

By the way we where arguing about geopolitics not really about religion, but muslims have it all mixed up in a crazy pan.

[Luishazong]

@NizoumiPars and the USA and Iran will never be equals, Iran is a third world country that cannot even feed its people with sky-rocketing inflation and military technology from 30 years ago.

While the USA is the MOST powerful country in ALL the world.

For the USA and Iran to be equals Iran would have to surpass a lot of highly developed and powerful countries first.

Iran wont even come close to equaling China, even less equal the USA.

U Hope Iran stops doing crazy things and stops sayin bullshit

[NizoumiPars]

@Luishazong

You are about 30 years behind, things have changed.

Be realistic. ..USA might be militarily powerful for now, In the middle east the influence of the usa has ended.

Now you can say whatever you fancy in order to make yourself happy.

American dominance didnt even last as long as that of Mongols lol

[Luishazong]

@NizoumiPars Dude Americas Income is more than FIFTEEN times greater than Irans, And has the MOST powerful Economy in the world, The MOST powerful Military in the world (by 10 times stronger than the second place) The MOST TECHNOLOGY in every way.

I dont know what world you live in, but the USA is the MASTER of the world, and will continue to be for many many decades to come.

China might get a bit stronger than now, but the US will still be the worlds SUPREMACY.

Sorry to crash your dream bro

[NizoumiPars]

@Luishazong good luck to them and good for them

so what?

what does have to do with any thing?

so because they are rich and have military [power they can tell others how to live?...or how to be?..

Americans can be as powerful and rich as they like.

Iran within its borders and that of its allies can do what its want.

America is not wanted in the Middle East period.

[BringBackJonStewart]

@Luishazong

The US is the master of the world? Hmm...

US power has been shown to be a paper tiger, defeated in Iraq by a guerrilla war, in the process of a defeat in Afghanistan, humiliated at every turn by an itsy bitsy little country like Israel, etc.

China has now surpassed Japan as the 2nd biggest economy in the world, within 15 years it will be the biggest. Already the US is in debt to China for trillions of $. All superpowers and empires fall eventually, it's the US' turn right now. 

[Luishazong]

@BringBackJonStewart Im sorry but China will only surpass the Us in 15 years if it CONTINUES to have the economic gowth that it has now, which is proven already that it will not, furthermore, only the coastal cities of china are being developed the rest of the country lives in misery and is poor, the west of china doesnt even have electricity, so china is very much overrated.

No the Us won teh iraq war in 3 WEEKS, the rest was a process of pacifying a muslim civil war within the country etc

[BringBackJonStewart]

@Luishazong

1st, Capital letters. They don't make your argument any more right or wrong,.

2nd China. The big cities you allude to are the number one destination for the young, the poor and for anyone else that wants to make money in China, they are flocking to the big cities in their millions each year (which incidentally aren't all on the coast). The same thing happened in the US during the late 19th century and 1st half of the 20th century, a period that ushered in global US power.

[BringBackJonStewart]

@Luishazong

3rd, Iraq. I'm sorry, that's pure sophistry and you aren't subtle enough to get away with it. That's like saying from May 2003 onwards there was no war in Iraq. What were all those thousands of deaths and injuries caused by? And if 'pacifying' a country is your measure of 'victory' how come the country isn't at peace yet? Iraq is still a country of horrendous political violence by any measure, the equivalent of two 9/11's last year alone. Your kidding yourself.

[Luishazong]

@BringBackJonStewart whenever you grow a brain we will be able to discuss this matters, its evident by your arguements that you are not able to comprehend the big picture in anything.

The Iraq war was won in 3 weeks as the Iraqi military fled for its life when they saw the americans coming in most cases and the rest was simply destroyed.

What followed was a battle between the two groups of muslims in the country, the Shias and the Sunnis, they were actually fighting against each other... continu

[Luishazong]

@BringBackJonStewart not against the americans, thats why mosques where being bombed, etc.

The americans where trying to pacify that conflict, but good luck with putting reason into deranged religious radicals which were muslim.

At the end there was no one left to fight with and an iraqi government was established, i reiterate, that was not part of the iraqi war, that was an iraqi civil war the americans where caught up with.

[Luishazong]

@BringBackJonStewart

Lesson learned= its a pain in the ass to invade a 3rd world country that will fall apart as soon as you depose its dictator and then you have to build its economy and its infrastructure, not because the people are pissed of at you, but because the people are pissed off at their quality of life in the first place.

I dont know if you remember but the iraqi civilians greeted the americans joyfully when they first marched in after defeating the iraqis

[BringBackJonStewart]

@Luishazong

"whenever you grow a brain" Huh? You're touchy. Stick to the facts not the lame insults (if you can).

You're answers are pure sophistry again. The Iraqi army done what any army does when confronted with a more powerful enemy in their own backyard. Melt away and conduct guerrilla warfare. Just like Vietnam and Afghanistan (against the USSR now us). US soldiers were the targets, not because the Iraqi militia were aiming for someone else missed and hit them instead.

[BringBackJonStewart]

@Luishazong

Yes some Iraqis celebrated the arrival of the US army (even the Nazis stormtroopers were cheered by terrified Russians during WW2, no doubt hoping they wouldnt be massacred - fat lot of good it did).

For every cheering Iraqi their was one sharpening a knife, cleaning a gun or making an IED that would kill and maim US soldiers and innocent Iraqis alike.

We shouldn't have been there, the civil war wasn't in the script because we chose to ignore the reality on the ground.

[mdaniel74]

So he´s a patriot huh? Why don´t these guys answer for all the governments they helped bring down and the murder and torture methods they apply and teach?

[aznsbd]

They don't have to, our government at the time asked them to do a job and they did it plain and simple. Even if you disagree with American foreign policy, don't blame them, its like blaming a gun for killing someone instead of the person who pulled the trigger.

[mdaniel74]

@aznsbd but there´s a difference... guns don´t have a conscience or free will. I don´t agree with this attitude of trying to glorify men who belong to an agency that has helped overthrow governments, trained torturers and killers and who themselves are involved in allegations of torture and misconduct....

[aznsbd]

Why don't you blame the politicians who formed policy instead of the ones that have to carry it out. The spy business is a dirty game, this is not hollywood, their is no 007 we live in the real world not candyland. If a government is hostile to American interest would you rather we send a handful of people to destabilize it or send in army divisions to topple it? Its so easy for you to be critical from your Ivory Tower, come back when you've walked a mile in their shoes.

[mdaniel74]

@aznsbd enough bullshit... yeah, the world´s a complicated place to live in and yes of coursse many things must be done to preserve stability, but what i am trying to say nothing justifies glorification of the people who do the dirty work..... or the politicians that give the orders... as for the ivory tower comment, i live in chile, country with military coupe and of course, the cia and the us facilitated that coupe and taugt torture methods, etc... i

[aznsbd]

I sympathize with you for what happened under pinochet, but its not like this all happened in a vacuum. It was the cold war and you saw what happened to Cuba in the 60s, The United States was not going to allow another country to be communist in its own backyard. I immigrated from Vietnam a communist country so I understand the context of what they were trying to do.

[mdaniel74]

@aznsbd my point is that, people should be held accountable for their actions, even if it´s in the name "the nation"... and not glorified as liberatoros or heroes...

[aznsbd]

The CIA are not glorified nor do they wish to be glorified in what they do, Glory brings attention to your actions that by their very nature have to be secret. Your society is to blame, there are many countries in the world, not all are democratic and we can't be hostile to all of them just because of the way they treat their own people. Your society gave us a Military that was ready to overthrow its civilian government, and to use a poker term we had to play with the hand that we were dealt.

[mdaniel74]

@aznsbd the cia is glorified.... when they are treated as "patriots", "heores"... considering the line of work they do. And it´s not an excuse to shift the blame to other nations, for my nations internal problems, there is consense that great part of the blame lies on us, but that does not change my veiws. The CIA, is involved in a lot of dirty work, relating to torture, training terrorists and other serious charges and personally they are as evil as the governments the overthrow....

[aznsbd]

Granted that the CIA are NOT ANGELS, nor would I as an American want them to be angels. Angels who are looking to work in foreign affairs belong in the State Department as diplomats, not a spy agency. Think about it, you are talking about spies here, its a little naive of you believe that spies would follow any rules but their own.

[mdaniel74]

@aznsbd i understand your point of veiw, but because of what the military did in my country, not only did i never meet my father, my mother suffered torture, while 4 months pregnant...... and considering there was an active CIA intervention to accelerate the military coupe.... how should i view the CIA and the work they do? Who´s right and who´s wrong?

[aznsbd]

I understand your feelings on this but you said accelerae the military coup, meaning it was going to happen anyway. So if the CIA was not involved would things have been any different for you? I doubt it, the problem I see here was in your country not mine. There was going to be a military dictator in your country and nothing we did or could have done could change it, the only question was weather they were going to be in the soviet camp or in our camp. I feel for you Via Con dios my friend.

[mdaniel74]

@aznsbd these people do the dirty work and they should assume their responsibilities...

[madebyparents101]

Instead of saying "lets kill all arabs" like a big stupid I-don't-know-what you should read Bob's books, I just finished reading See No Evil and it was fantastic. It's a real good book about terrorism and his work for the CIA. So instead of spitting out stupid stuff - read the book!

[emetds]

Robert Baer is a shill. This book and talks came out at about the same time Obama began having conversations with Iran and trying to engage Amadinijad. Robert Baer is saying the US should engage Iran and maybe the result will be the same as China. China is now our trading partner. Iran had numerous terrorist attacks against US since 1980. China really never had any.

[locjo]

Robert Baer is a true American Patriot! The US should have no limits to seek out and DESTROY all terrorists!NO LIMITS!

[supruzr]

So let me get this straight. Iran's logic is "if we have rockets and nuclear weapons, we're not going to need terrorism" ... despite that the United States already has rockets and nuclear weapons, and it was Iran's terrorism campaign that got us out of Lebanon.

Sounds to me like Iran doesn't fully appreciate its own tactics.

[tlalocame]

OMG. I didn't know he was a socialist and anti-America.

I am so glad I watched this video.

I can't wait to return the book of his that I bought today for refund.

Yuck!

[Weleski]

@tlalocame

This comment is utterly disturbing. I hope it is satire. I really do.

[frostmug]

@tlalocame

You are kidding, right? A socialist? When in this video did he espouse socialism?

Anti American? Really? I'd love to hear your explanation of that one.

[imnevermakingavideo]

the beginning of this video looked like a Tim and Eric sketch

[promisedeyes]

@imnevermakingavideo I know, right. Holy cheese.

[juhahn]

starmanskye... your use of commas is awe inspiring...ILY!

[lpenny28]

Cool Video.

Watch

"Clickin' For Love Trailer"

[1888junkteam]

excellent work!

[noblegaijin]

As long as you ask for permission first, it is of course OK to kill innocent people--as we all know...

[newworldordernyus]

to let Baer know, there is really no one behind the IRGC and the only reason it still remains in one piece is bacause of the flow of cash comming from oil, drug & counterband smuggling & all the Iranian businesses they control, otherwise it'll break in half in a day

A former CIA he prefers to see mullhs in power and that's why he defands the IR regime

Also forget about Mousavi, what the Iranians are really demanding is regime change, they demand a secular democratic regime not IR

[newworldordernyus]

a must read book "The Evil We Know"

however, he mainly covered what an evrage Iranian already knows about IRI corrupt regime

goood work Rob

[newworldordernyus]

also to add, Mousavi didn't start the opposition movement, he actually is a conservative, he wants regime to be the Khomeini's way which people of Iran strongly oppose

Iranians are hiding behind Mousavi because otherwise they'll be considered the enemy of Islam according to IR laws and death sentnese is the result of attmpt to overthrow, just get a translation of their chant. they want a non-islamic regime

also Khamenei is a puppet of rafsanjani can't explain more

[mahshiz]

I highly suggest reading his books. See No Evil is the best book that ive ever read.

[starmanskye]

Good Grief; The CIA is unarguably the most venal, corrupt organized crime syndicate in the post-war world, aligned with numerous criminal gangs, cartels, tyranical regimes, warlords, thugs, murderers, traitors & scoundrels, subverting sovereignty, freedom, truth, legitimate governments, progressive social organizations, human rights & social justice movements. It has lost whatever privelege to secrecy claimed via law thru betraying core American ideals in service to corps & oligarchic elites.

[husky720]

The sad thing is is that the CIA is necessary.

[JXZjeremy]

@starmanskye

This is true. Had Kennedy assassinated as well with the help of the Mafia.

[mdaniel74]

@starmanskye i agree and they get the you´re a hero treatment. Some people are so blind to the truth, organization like the CIA have damaged the live of so many, in other parts of the world and thanks to them terrorist organization like al quaeda, iran iraq, exist.

[TheJanetta58]

@mdaniel74

The Muslim Brotherhood, 192Os? The Grand Mufti, Haj Muhammed Amin al-Husseini and shh...the nazis...and Arafat.

The CIA, the much later successor of the OSS formed during WW2, 1939 to 1945?

What really came 1st?, the crazy chicken or the crazier egg.

[TheJanetta58]

@TheJanetta58

I hate to sound like an effing arrogant wee prat but does anyone actually read...erudite books. Historical literature written by knowledgeable informative people? Are crass soundbites and propoganda images on TV News and YouTube now the fount of all our information.

Good grief, I despair.

[TheJanetta58]

@starmanskye

Post War World?



[TheJanetta58]

@starmanskye

Do you fully understand and appreciate the role of criminal gangs and drugs

in our societies? The role of that media torch to inflame us to riot? The torch that guides us into darkness?

A penthouse can't hover unaided in the air. It needs a rat infested basement and a bug infested foundation to prop it up. It just can't exist without it.

[rosesforthenoddinggo]

@starmanskye the CIA does the dirty work with rough men that do violence (the US military) so everyone else can sleep well in their beds.

[patnais102]

What he is saying is so truth.Shia are disciplined believing people.If Israel or U.S attack Iran it will be a total slaughter.The 2006 war was a good example of what's awaiting anyone attacking Iran:total air superiority from the invader but a blood bath on ground.Hezbollah lost around 250 soldiers for 121 Israeli soldiers, if you keep in mind Israeli have the most advanced weaponry available today and they planed the operation for 1 year it was an humiliating defeat.

[michaelnathan84]

@patnais102 I agree that Hezbollah is a formidable opponent, however you are not considering that Israel attempted to do the impossible -- which is to beat a guerrilla force without inflicting any (or as little as possible) civilian casualties. If Israel wanted, they could systematically destroy Hezbollah.  It would just require an unacceptable amount of collateral damage.

[patnais102]

@michaelnathan84 ''It would just require an unacceptable amount of collateral damage.'' I have some doubt about the capacity of Israel to destroy Hezbollah without using their nuclear weapons. You are exactly right on one point, an unacceptable amount of collateral damage would be needed to annihilate Hezbollah, which would cause irreparable damage on the international scene to Israel. This would be the best case scenario for Iran.

[patnais102]

@michaelnathan84 There is only 2 way to eliminate a guerilla movement supported by the population. The english and french did it pretty well in the 19th century. You neither legitimize the movement (just like Israel did with the P.L.O) than they become corruptible and docile or incarcerate the population supporting the guerrilla (like U.K did in south africa) , which usually lead to X² more death in the civilian population than the guerrilla movement.

[must19271]

lol. bombing civilians for a month and killing 1500 of them bombing un schools in gaza ya the israelies are realy soft

its more complecated than if we put 1 and 1 it'll give us 2 sometime it 1000 and sotimes its a zero

[fireman3k]

isreal reduced nearly every village in south lebanon.. they used maximum force.. they even used all types of weaponary. 1000 dead lebanese civilains.. dont bs... look at the pics... all that was left.. was the use of WMD agaisnt hezbollah.

[haider87]

After 30:29 he notes a pretty interesting observation.

[davidbroberts]

LGZEE - calm down. You sound like an angsty teenager struggling to control puberty.

He says nothing of any particular interest or use and certainly nothing that is novel or - do I really need to say this - approaching code word or secret.

As for your 'anyone who breaks down a democratically elected gov is un-American' : try reading a book once in a while.

[LGZEE]

davidbroberts - It sounds like you are a real smart guy. You have me figured out by reading a couple posts. Yea that is real intelligence. I have read a few books and the ones I read say the U.S. stands for freedom, not that the government follows this line of thinking, I'm talking about the people. We don't need people telling anyone about past and present actions, but if you think we should tell our tactics it's probably because you are blind to the truth also.

[LGZEE]

I like how you can just remove comments that you don't like. This guy is a joke and whoever took off my comment is a punk like Robert.

[kbdkbd99]

LGZEE - firstly - he may well have clearance to talk about some of what he did. He would likely have had to, to write his book. He's not talking about anything current or that is current policy.

Secondly, Iran could not just buy a bomb from another country, because that other country would effectively be declaring war on whoever Iran targetted it at.

[LGZEE]

50:54 And now he is speaking about what the president does with no knowledge of what the president thinks. This guy is full of you know what. I wouldn't sit and talk to this fool for more than one minute before seeing through his nonsense.

[LGZEE]

46:20 If Iran wanted to use a nuclear weapon why would they build one, when they could buy one from some other country? This Iran thing is way overblown. Iran would never try to take on America with one weapon. Get real, they just want to keep talking and trying to rise in power in the region. Who cares, they still would be nothing.

[LGZEE]

Is Robert Baer a traitor for talking about what the U.S. holds as policies and defense tactics. I think if he has taken an oath to the C.I.A. he should zip his lip. He probably is still working with the C.I.A. and he should just sit back and zip it. I can't believe Berkeley would even interview him and take anything seriously that he has to say. He admits in this interview to being a lair and he gets people to turn on their own side. Sounds familiar.

[LGZEE]

You think so, I don't. Get real, he talks about Americas tactics and admits to breaking down other countries that don't support the U.S. Do we really want former CIA people telling the world that. Anyone who breaks down a democratically elected government is not a true American due to the fact we are a democracy as far as I know and support freedom. People who support freedom are TRUE AMERICANS, or did you miss that in history class?

[welhungjohnson]

He specifically said that the CIA doesn't do those things anymore. Even if he didn't mention them, anyone could find out with a google search. So what difference does it make anyway?

[LGZEE]

The difference is that he took an oath to work for the CIA. In that oath I'm sure he said he wouldn't do anything to weaken the CIA, which he is doing talking about old tactics and policies. Old tactics are where new ones come from, right? So by talking about them and being a CIA employee he is showing that he will turn on a dime if it suites his cause. Open your eyes.

[welhungjohnson]

I don't think you take an oath to the CIA.

[LGZEE]

Everyone takes an oath to the government when they are sworn into law enforcement and agencies of the like. Enough of you commie b.s. You probably are a commie and believe you have a right to do anything and your replies are weak.

[welhungjohnson]

The CIA is not a law enforcement agency.

Well that depends on your definition of democracy. If you follow the procedural minimum defintion then most of the gov'ts we overthrow are not true democracies, only institutional democracies, which means nothing. Btw I'm not saying the CIA was right for trying to overthrow gov'ts, I'm just saying democracy is not a simple definition.
