1 00:00:02,879 --> 00:00:08,760 honorable Parian 2 00:00:05,359 --> 00:00:09,480 gon distinguished generals members of 3 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:13,960 the 4 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:16,920 house let me deal with the gravest 5 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:20,439 calumny that has been leveled at us this 6 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:22,439 evening namely that we are 7 00:00:20,439 --> 00:00:24,920 pacifists Captain 8 00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:27,320 Baron is no 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:31,439 pacifist and neither am I and I'll fight 10 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,439 any man that says I am 11 00:00:32,599 --> 00:00:38,840 we're not making this proposition this 12 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:42,520 evening because we're 13 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:45,440 pacifists neither are we in any sense 14 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:47,879 second to The Honorable gentleman 15 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:51,840 opposite in our 16 00:00:47,879 --> 00:00:53,120 determination to see the defeat of Isis 17 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,680 and 18 00:00:53,120 --> 00:01:00,039 Al-Qaeda neither are we in second place 19 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:03,519 to defend our people and our homeland 20 00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:04,680 against terrorism which is of course a 21 00:01:03,519 --> 00:01:08,200 separate 22 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,240 matter on which we across the house are 23 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,960 in 24 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:14,479 agreement if Al-Qaeda and Isis come here 25 00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:17,880 we must shoot them 26 00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:20,400 dead and divine the mayor of London I'll 27 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:23,759 be out with our well-armed police force 28 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:28,079 helping them shoot them dead this is an 29 00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:33,320 entirely red hering a strong man 30 00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:37,960 introduced into this debate in order to 31 00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:41,680 confuse I want to see every member of 32 00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:45,840 Isis and Al-Qaeda and all the other 33 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:49,280 organizations like them dead on the 34 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:52,399 battlefield the difference 35 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,240 here is our 36 00:01:52,399 --> 00:01:56,840 contention that the world's 37 00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:00,840 Western 38 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:04,560 intervention and Isis re 39 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:08,679 ought to appear in the same 40 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:14,040 sentence because of course the West are 41 00:02:08,679 --> 00:02:18,840 responsible for Isis it was the West who 42 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:21,280 created Isis both directly and 43 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,200 indirectly don't shake your head even 44 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,480 Tony 45 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:27,599 Blair accepts 46 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:30,840 that President Obama made the case very 47 00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:34,920 clearly just a month or two ago 48 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:36,879 as he said grew out of our Invasion and 49 00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:40,480 occupation of 50 00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:43,599 Iraq it's an example he said of how we 51 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:48,040 should aim before we 52 00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:51,120 should and he was right about that but 53 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:55,640 what is less well known I'm giving the 54 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,640 information what is less well 55 00:02:56,159 --> 00:03:02,040 known what is less well known 56 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,840 is that this game started very much 57 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:08,120 longer ago than 58 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:13,440 that how did the Taliban and 59 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:15,280 alqa come to be they came to be because 60 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,159 the British and American governments 61 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,959 principally using the money of the same 62 00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:25,680 satrapies in the Persian Gulf who are 63 00:03:20,959 --> 00:03:27,120 paying for the war in Syria now built up 64 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:32,239 this 65 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:36,519 monster of islamist fanaticism M and 66 00:03:32,239 --> 00:03:39,319 extremism don't believe me watch Rambo 67 00:03:36,519 --> 00:03:42,159 five watch Rambo 5 and see the 68 00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:45,480 dedication at the end of the 69 00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:49,120 movie to the Freedom Fighters of 70 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:51,120 Afghanistan who were of course to become 71 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,560 Al-Qaeda and the 72 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,560 Taliban it goes back even further than 73 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,239 that but I've only got 8 minutes and it 74 00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,519 takes me 8 minutes to get my name and 75 00:03:57,239 --> 00:04:03,000 address out generally 76 00:04:00,519 --> 00:04:06,200 so I'll make my 77 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:09,879 point that our culpability in the 78 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:13,840 creation of Isis is unanswerable even 79 00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:16,639 from the mouths of those who are 80 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:19,799 principally responsible for 81 00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:24,040 it we're responsible for it I'm giving 82 00:04:19,799 --> 00:04:27,720 the information son the responsibility 83 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:32,320 is both direct and indirect we didn't 84 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:34,440 just invade and break and Destroy and 85 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:39,080 and Scatter to the Four 86 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:42,960 Winds all the pieces of Iraq that have 87 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:46,720 not yet may never be put back together 88 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:50,720 again the reason we've got Isis in 89 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:54,919 Syria is because the same United States 90 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:58,039 and Britain have been pouring money 91 00:04:54,919 --> 00:05:00,440 material weapons political and 92 00:04:58,039 --> 00:05:02,720 diplomatic and propaganda 93 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:06,520 support for the 94 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:08,960 rebels and every gun every piece of 95 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:12,160 material that we delivered to the 96 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:17,120 battlefield in Syria ended up in the 97 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:20,440 hands of either Isis or alaa or one of 98 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:24,240 these other groups that too is not 99 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:26,720 contestable yes um just because we may 100 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:29,319 have a historical responsibility for the 101 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:32,120 actions the creation of Isis does not 102 00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:35,360 mean not learned from our mistakes oh 103 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:38,000 trust me trust me brother anybody 104 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,960 listening to this debate is only too 105 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,919 well aware that you haven't learned from 106 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:47,440 your mistakes I'm listening to the same 107 00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:50,440 kind of orientalist clap trap that I 108 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:54,199 could have had at any time in the last 109 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:56,400 few decades we had a young woman up here 110 00:05:54,199 --> 00:05:58,840 saying we needed to educate if I may 111 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,600 finish my point no your Point's finished 112 00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:03,120 we 113 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:06,560 somebody actually came here in Oxford 114 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:10,039 and said we need to educate the Iraqis 115 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:12,440 the Iraqis were teaching algebra when we 116 00:06:10,039 --> 00:06:15,319 were painting our faces blue and living 117 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:17,440 in the forest you think you need to 118 00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:19,039 educate here like 119 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,400 this 120 00:06:19,039 --> 00:06:23,680 really 121 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,199 really where you going to educate them 122 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:29,000 in military 123 00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:32,000 skills we're not so good at that anymore 124 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:35,240 the queen doesn't have enough soldiers 125 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:38,000 we ran away from bazra Under Fire 126 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:41,440 whipped the United States withdrew from 127 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:44,240 Iraq beaten by the resistance of the 128 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:47,160 Iraqi people we're running out of 129 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:50,800 Afghanistan and we be very lucky if it's 130 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:55,199 only the Taliban that come back to Power 131 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:57,800 because competing against the Taliban is 132 00:06:55,199 --> 00:07:01,400 Isis the Taliban of the 133 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:06,400 moderates in the fight that's about to 134 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:08,960 ensue so the West is a military failure 135 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:12,280 with all respect to the honorable and 136 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:14,520 Gallant officers here present this 137 00:07:12,280 -->
