1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,680
Go back to September 20th of 
2001. 

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,360
President George W Bush 
addressed Congress and said the 

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,160
following Americans are asking 
why do they hate us? 

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,840
They hate what they see in this 
chamber, a democratically 

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,480
elected government. 
Their leaders are self 

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,240
appointed. 
They hate our freedoms, our 

7
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:22,760
freedom of religion, our freedom
of speech, our freedom to vote 

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,720
and assemble and disagree with 
each other. 

9
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,290
Here are Osama bin Laden's 
actual words, published in a 

10
00:00:30,290 --> 00:00:33,690
book titled Al Qaeda in its Own 
Words, published by Harvard 

11
00:00:33,690 --> 00:00:35,770
University. 
Section is titled Tactical 

12
00:00:35,770 --> 00:00:40,050
Recommendations, Bin Laden says.
Then the fighters realized that 

13
00:00:40,050 --> 00:00:43,050
the gang in the White House 
could not see things clearly and

14
00:00:43,050 --> 00:00:46,530
that their leader, that idiot 
they obey, was claiming that we 

15
00:00:46,530 --> 00:00:50,000
envied their lifestyle when the 
truth which this pharaoh would 

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,000
like to hide, is that we are 
attacking them because of their 

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,120
injustice toward the Muslim 
world and especially Palestine 

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,280
and Iraq, as well as their 
occupation of the land of the 

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,080
two sanctuaries. 
When the fighters saw this, they

20
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,080
decided to come out of the 
shadows and take the fight into 

21
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,320
their territory, into their 
homes. 

22
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:12,160
And herein lies the importance 
of libertarianism. 

23
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,960
We are going to be in a 
continuous back and forth of 

24
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,420
fake divides. 
Black versus white, man versus 

25
00:01:19,420 --> 00:01:23,260
woman, rich versus poor, Muslim 
versus non-muslim, Russia versus

26
00:01:23,260 --> 00:01:27,740
America, China versus America. 
The only justifiable divide in 

27
00:01:27,740 --> 00:01:32,660
society that we should tolerate 
are those who achieve their ends

28
00:01:32,660 --> 00:01:36,140
by initiating fraud and violence
against peaceful people, and 

29
00:01:36,140 --> 00:01:38,780
those who achieve their ends 
through peaceful trade and 

30
00:01:38,780 --> 00:01:43,040
voluntary cooperation. 
Even the invasion of Afghanistan

31
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,640
after September 11th, 2001 was 
not necessary. 

32
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,800
But because the state is the 
health of war, the politicians 

33
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,880
who got us in there knew they 
weren't going to have to pay the

34
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,560
price. 
In fact, it would actually win 

35
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,680
them a lot of friends along with
the defense contractors. 

36
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,600
And none of them were afraid 
that they oh, they might go to 

37
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,200
jail if they kill any civilians 
or wage an unjust war. 

38
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,360
That is another example of how 
the state is the health of war. 

39
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,320
The Guardian, October 14th, 
2001, Bush rejects Taliban offer

40
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,320
to hand bin Laden over. 
The president said the bombing 

41
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,440
would not stop unless the ruling
Taliban turn bin Laden over, 

42
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,720
turn his cohorts over, turn any 
hostages they hold over, he 

43
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,320
added. 
No need to discuss innocence or 

44
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,800
guilt. 
We know he's guilty. 

45
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,920
Haji Abdul Kabir, the third most
powerful figure in the ruling 

46
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:37,800
Taliban regime, told reporters 
that the Taliban would require 

47
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,520
evidence that bin Laden was 
behind the September 11th 

48
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,520
terrorist attacks in the US, but
added we would be ready to hand 

49
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,800
him over to a third country. 
If the Taliban is given evidence

50
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,960
that Osama bin Laden is involved
and the bombing campaign 

51
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,600
stopped, we would be ready to 
hand him over to a third 

52
00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:00,060
country, Mr. Kabir added. 
Along with the invasion of Iraq,

53
00:03:00,060 --> 00:03:03,420
another example of how the state
is the health of war. 

54
00:03:04,660 --> 00:03:08,220
This invasion was based, but 
primarily on lies. 

55
00:03:08,220 --> 00:03:11,260
George W Bush and his 2003 State
of the Union address said. 

56
00:03:11,740 --> 00:03:15,220
The British government has 
learned that Saddam Hussein 

57
00:03:15,420 --> 00:03:19,100
recently sought significant 
quantities of uranium from 

58
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:22,420
Africa. 
This was refuted in an article 

59
00:03:22,420 --> 00:03:26,140
titled What I Didn't Find in 
Africa by Joe Wilson, who was 

60
00:03:26,140 --> 00:03:29,360
the alleged source of this 
uranium purchase. 

61
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,600
He is the husband of Valerie 
Plame. 

62
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,160
Vice President Dick Cheney went 
on Meet the Press December 

63
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,520
nineth 2001 and was referring to
Mohammed Ada, the infamous 

64
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,440
September 11th hijacker, saying 
it's been pretty well confirmed 

65
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,720
that he, Ada, did go to Prague 
and he did meet with a senior 

66
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,400
official of the Iraqi 
Intelligence Service. 

67
00:03:52,770 --> 00:03:56,210
Secretary of Defense Donald 
Rumsfeld was interviewed by 

68
00:03:56,330 --> 00:04:01,650
George Stephanopoulos on a BC 
news March of 2003 saying we 

69
00:04:01,650 --> 00:04:04,250
know where they are, Iraq's 
weapons of mass destruction. 

70
00:04:04,770 --> 00:04:09,330
They're in the area around 
Tikrit and Baghdad and east, 

71
00:04:09,610 --> 00:04:15,170
West, South and N somewhat when 
it comes to the invasion of 

72
00:04:15,410 --> 00:04:18,450
Syria. 
Here is another lie that the War

73
00:04:18,450 --> 00:04:21,930
on Terror has something to do 
with fighting against Al Qaeda. 

74
00:04:22,230 --> 00:04:26,390
It actually involves allying 
with Al Qaeda in a number of 

75
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:28,830
instances. 
Here is Jake Sullivan, the 

76
00:04:28,830 --> 00:04:32,990
current National Security 
Advisor for President Joe Biden,

77
00:04:33,350 --> 00:04:38,070
In a e-mail sent to Hillary 
Clinton on February 12th, 2012, 

78
00:04:38,430 --> 00:04:43,070
Sullivan says, see last item, AQ
is on our side in Syria. 

79
00:04:43,390 --> 00:04:47,590
Otherwise, things have basically
turned out as expected. 

80
00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:51,110
This is high level officials 
knowing for a fact that the US 

81
00:04:51,110 --> 00:04:55,230
is on the side of Al Qaeda in 
Syria for the sake of taking 

82
00:04:55,230 --> 00:04:59,510
down the Bashar al-Assad regime,
which Obama publicly came out 

83
00:04:59,510 --> 00:05:04,350
and said Assad can no longer be 
the Prime Minister of Syria. 

84
00:05:04,350 --> 00:05:07,550
He's an illegitimate ruler. 
When it comes to Libya, 2 

85
00:05:07,550 --> 00:05:11,390
headlines from the New York 
Times will do first. 1 from 2011

86
00:05:11,390 --> 00:05:16,310
says US tactics in Libya may be 
a model for other efforts. 

87
00:05:17,090 --> 00:05:21,890
Couple years later, 2015 New 
York Times says Isis's grip on 

88
00:05:21,890 --> 00:05:25,090
Libyan city gives it a fallback 
option. 

89
00:05:25,090 --> 00:05:29,450
So the foreign policy to take 
out a terrible dictator, Muammar

90
00:05:29,450 --> 00:05:33,890
Gaddafi, ended with the Islamic 
State controlling large portions

91
00:05:34,170 --> 00:05:37,330
of Libya. 
This is the organization they 

92
00:05:37,330 --> 00:05:41,610
were allying with in Syria. 
These wars are to the point 

93
00:05:41,610 --> 00:05:45,470
where they are so unjustifiable.
Major neoconservative Max Boot 

94
00:05:45,470 --> 00:05:48,070
published in an article in 
Foreign Affairs to his credit, 

95
00:05:48,350 --> 00:05:52,230
titled What Neocons Got Wrong 
and How the Iraq War Taught Me 

96
00:05:52,230 --> 00:05:56,070
about the Limits of American 
Power, Boot says March 10th, 

97
00:05:56,070 --> 00:05:59,630
2023. 
Regime change obviously did not 

98
00:05:59,630 --> 00:06:02,710
work out as intended. 
The occupations of Afghanistan 

99
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:08,050
and Iraq were in fact fiascos 
that exacted a high price in 

100
00:06:08,050 --> 00:06:12,530
both blood and treasure for both
the United States and even more,

101
00:06:12,530 --> 00:06:15,210
of course, the countries it 
invaded.
