Iraqi gov't leaders fear Obama?

[alrma001]

she is soooooooo stupid... what does she mean americans saved him in Basra????? America didnt do much at all in Basra.... I bet she doesn't even live in Iraq. Maybe she;s just visiting iraq to have this interview

[discoinfern0]

series of  interviews???

[oliversinhell]

Free Iraq /free Palestine !!

yo obama don't be a whore for the zionists !

[buzzmaxwell]

you might find out she isn't really a cow and that aint really milk my friend..beware

[coolioto]

Hey buzzmaxwell what type of cow are we talking about here? A jersey cow? I like jersey cows. I would love to milk Leila.

[RESILIENT1AMERICA]

5:05 "you didn't say what I wanted you to say, you were suposed to make the rupublicans look bad, god damnit you stupid bitch fuck"

[azkeyz]

Fuck Muhammed the pedophile serial killer son of a slave woman hidding in caves conversating with satan.

And FUCK allah the bull moon diety who transformed himself into a bull and raped europa.

It's time to remove the cult of islam from the earth iran is an opressive terror state and must be removed.

[coolioto]

Leila Fidel. She speaks with so much authority but her voice is soft. Big dark eyes. Yummy

[buzzmaxwell]

you have got to be kidding me! this chick is a fucking cow! i guess compared to a camel ..she's hot, but jeez..otherwise??

[coolioto]

I left a comment further down. Can't you see her cute little smile?

[juanmisimo]

Just 2000 views? hahaha

[unifikation]

Although they have some good interviews, I wonder why they have to ask for money at this time when poverty is globalizing because of the "free" market. This guy looks like he has enough high tech equipment and funds to give people, "real news", without donations. It's interesting how they where silent during the whole Bush regime. Interesting indeed...

[ratonnewmex]

woo ha....that is a serious stabby jab...poor Obama. what a fucking TOILET he has to clean...fuck you U.S. govt. STOP CHEMTRAILS!

[RESILIENT1AMERICA]

Why did they let you out of the psych ward ?

[RESILIENT1AMERICA]

Its if funny how you called America a toilet when you are from Mexico...LMFAO...Move back to your toilet and drink your water that come from a toilet..HAHA...Mexico= Shity country full of stupid people...HAHAHA

[kuntsavage]

these bitch can suck my cock.

[Amy31415]

I truly resent that we are more worried about another country at the expense of our own.

Bush/Cheney--I hope you are tried for war crimes.

[kuntsavage]

expect for afganistan they did good there.

[Amy31415]

Yeah. Just wish they would have finished the job at Tora Bora.

[buzzmaxwell]

what would be the actual crime you would want them charged with? freeing the iraqi people? you are the same one wanting us to go into Sudan and remember..we left Somalia and look at the shit hole it is..wanna blame the US for that?

[Amy31415]

War crimes: Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, leading the country to war based on bad information aka lying.

I want us to go into Sudan? No, I don't. And no, I don't want to blame the US for the wreck that Somalia is. Ultimately, they're a sovereign country and the responsibility for the shape of their country is up to the Somalians.

Are you incapable of putting yourself in the place of an Iraqi? Seeing your fellow citizens tortured while your religion is desecrated?

[IvanSorath]

U.S.A vs Somalia 2009 :D just wait

[thequietkid10]

I like the interviews. But seriously I'm a college student with 20,000+ in debt and 1500 in the bank. Why should I support the idea of having ANOTHER cable news organization with an extremely blatant agenda.

[RuflessRecords]

elgringo, in other words you don't trust anyone who's actually been there and knows something but prefer to live in your own parallel Marxist universe, and base your opinion on your own worthless two cents.

[eekdog2005]

All of our enemies have been fabricated. When the nations that are supposedly enemies all want the same New World Order it should become clear. Don't buy the propaganda, the enemy is govt and world govt. People need to unite against this NWO.

[thequietkid10]

blah blah blah.....this whole NWO thing has gone from annoying to straight boring.

When it's going to happen anyway, I'm sick of hearing about it.

[MountainDeW06]

Can't anyone see that Iraq is a strategic acquisition in the global battle between the U.S./Europe vs. China. Most of the world is controlled now by a select few who dictate the policy of population control, resource management and public opinion. The battle is a global economic war of attrition and the survivors will be left with the prize of global domination with an iron grip. So Iraq is a strategic gain and will not easily be given up.

[RuflessRecords]

Mountain and in this fantasy land where the US/Europe control everything or half and China controls the rest how was one insignificant Iraqi able to hurl two shoes at the head of the president of the US? Some all powerful tyrant there.

[t4705mb6]

The US is now run by the central bankers and has NO plans to follow any "agreements" they might make with ANY country.

They PROMISE anything to get their way or to stall.

In the end the US bases in the middle east will stay and be used in the coming WW.

If US citizens have learned ANYTHING in the past 50 years it is that our "government" lies at every turn.

If they are constantly lying to YOU, do you think they would lie to the Iraqis?

[ahassan5]

She's a nobody talking shit. She's one of those people who believe that nothing good can happen without US intervention. The only reason why she is pessimistic about the US pull out in Iraq is because she has mouth in America's ass.

Fucking hell! People need to start believing that they can achieve things without the US.

[thequietkid10]

...so your saying that if the US left Iraq there is no risk that the nation might collapse.

[ahassan5]

Hasn't Iraq already collapsed? That country has been terrorised by foreign governments led by the US. Iraq will take a long time to recover from the traumas caused the invasion.

The Iraqi people will in end learn how to stabilise their country for their own good. They will always remember that they've been forced to lose so much in order to gain so little.

The US will not care about Iraq once it leaves. It will blame the violence on terrorists which they have helped come to existence.

[cycimian]

Something about the Antichrist comming from the East?

Kendy/Clinton/Obama< Man when it comes down to keeping your people in Power theres no differances between the RepublaDemz and the Puppet Masters who pull all the strings.

[callieland]

if the iraqi's believe that these evil men who went to such pains to drum up support for an evil war, and then went on to build up substantial infrastructure (for their own interests), will just pack up and go when its time...theyre nuts. it'll be like trying to get your alcoholic uncle to leave your keg party.

[dellsprospects22]

lol..hmm? that's screwed up..but funny

[Lawlow1978]

great interview with someone who knows whats really going on inside iraqi poliyics. thabk you TRN

[y2knoproblem]

Adios Maliki! Welcome back Saddam. Mission Accomplished.

[Prodigies]

Makes sense!

[jfrsnjhnsn]

Maybe instead of deciding that she's a nobody simply because you yourself haven't heard of her, you should find out more about her and why TRN seeks out her opinion.

[jfrsnjhnsn]

At 2:42 she says that the Iraqi govt is allies with "what seem to be our bitterest enemies" and they flash a picture of Iran's Ahmadnijhad. One of my hopes for the new administration is that we can turn that particular collision course around and build friendlier relations with Iran.

[ProsecuteCheneyEtAl]

She's a correspondent for the Mclatchey Newspaper Chain. They were pretty much the only mainstream news outlet that told the truth about the Iraq war.

[RuflessRecords]

ProsecuteCheney, but isn't McClatchey also a business? I thought a media organization also being a business was enough to prove you were controlled by Bush in conspiracy cloud-cuckoo land.

[moikl]

she is fierce, man :)

[EricKNSeattle]

I can see by your ICON that you understand there's a hell of a lot going on than what the Gov. wants us to know about. Fortunately, it won't be long until it all comes out in the open. They say this is our "Discloser" President. When it all comes out, is when the real test starts. How do we digest this information, and how do we move forward... even if we can move forward will be part of the question.

E!

[gobbledygookie]

they don't take ad money, they'd go bankrupt if they didn't let you know they need monatory support

[theparadox813]

The reason TheRealNews is great is because it is NOTHING like Fox..

[EricKNSeattle]

I think the real question is not about the interviewer, or what ever that snide comment was about her weight. I think the real question is how do we wrap up this mess with the least devastation to all parties involved. How do we move forward, keep our land, people, and economy stable and safe? How do we restore America's Name and Intentions to what we the people of America feel in our hearts. There is going to have to be some major unraveling of our past actions, and Truth must prevail.

E!

[djben1977]

Excellent comment, EricKNSeattle. Your questions should and need to be asked with REAL answers coming from the new administration.

[EricKNSeattle]

Thanks.I would think after our past "Glorious" 8 years, people would realize the seriousness of the choices we make. We have real issues ahead of us that will shape our lives & our children's lives. All it takes is a series of bad decisions & we could possibly see our answer come in the form of a mushroom cloud, & not nessasarily in the distant skies, it could be in our own back yard. This is the time for every human to stand up, and be responsible for our actions, & those who we elect.

E!

[SwobyJ]

? She looks nice, and what does this have to do with what she is saying?

[SailorWuvsPeanut]

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who

She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam

Its interesting when people die-

Give us dirty laundry

[Don Henley - Dirty Laundry]

[jnycnuk]

the first time the iraqi people send a clear message to america to withdraw, the troops should be loaded up and sent home. let iraq solve their own problems from that time forward.

[MuslimApostate]

bottom line is unless you've been to iraq like i have then shut your ass up as you don't know shit about it and clearly have no idea whats going on their.

[poop121]

also even if i still didn't know what was going on there, the government of my country is indebting future generations and neglecting problems at home. i can't have an opinion about that?

regardless of whether you think we have a right to be there, most of the muslim world does not. foreign fighters have come into iraq and it is becoming a training ground like afghanistan was in the 80s.

war turns moderates into radicals, that is a truism that i don't need to have gone to iraq to know.

[buzzmaxwell]

the absence of war does not equal peace

[MuslimApostate]

In any case even if i was what you say the bottom line is i have a connection to iraq ethnically unlike yourself who is probably just another rich bitch white westerner who thinks your being an individual and a rebel by belieivng what leftists and conspiracy nutters are saying. Believe me alot of people are laughing at you morons and even the most ardent anti westerners in the mid east refer to you people as useful idiots

[poop121]

i'm not trying to impress people in the middle east. i don't care what they think. regardless i'm sure they can relate to people who want the war to end and for the us military to shut down most of their bases in the middle east more than they can somebody who is helping an occupying force.

[MuslimApostate]

I love how you accuse me of profiteering when you don't even know me. I worked in construction with the US navy. My salary was no different then any other construction worker and if you saw what we had to go through to help iraq rebuild you would think i was insane.

[macflyfilm]

Paul Jay maybe needs to work on his demeanor a little. He's a clever guy, but he needs to learn not to stare right through the head of the person he's interviewing - cause it appears quite rude.

[MuslimGhost]

His keen, hawkish stare is a sign that he's looking through the BS straight at the REAL news

[macflyfilm]

Bad demeanor ≠ anything except rudeness. As I said he's a clever guy, he just needs to work his interviewing technique.

[oliversinhell]

The Iraqis are right to be afraid !! the americans haven't spent trillions of dollars and spilled and ocean of blood , just to leave in three yrs , no I'm afraid the us is in Iraq for the long haul .

[poop121]

why wouldn't they be afraid? the us gov't has committed genocide and directly and indirectly killed several million people over the past decade alone in iraq and has caused many more to flee.

[MuslimApostate]

says the person who has never been to iraq. I served their for a year in construction and have relatives in the city of kut. All the deaths i saw were done by internal forces not americans. The only thing you can say that would discredit the americans is the sole fact that their wouldn't be iraqi's killing iraqi's if the US haddn't invaded but the bottom line is there would still be iraqi's dying regardless of whether or not the US invaded.

[oliversinhell]

i would have to say that the us GOVERNMENT has committed crimes against humanity in Iraq ! and Iraq's misery isn't going to end anytime soon ! sadly

[poop121]

i have not been to iraq but i have access to statistics and facts.

there wouldn't be a civil war had not the us invaded. that was my point. people died in iraq under saddam, but there was not a civil during his reign.

another thing i was referencing is the un sanctions under clinton that cut off access to food and medicine and killed 500,000 children. look that up. neither of us witnessed that, i presume. that is another indirect act of genocide.

[RuflessRecords]

poop, Clinton isn't to blame for the sanctions against Saddam, Saddam is. We and the UN don't sanction people for fun. America didn't sanction Poland or Mexico or Australia. Saddam was sanctioned due to his evil acts. He and only he is responsible for the sanctions leveled against him, not Clinton. If anyone starved due to the sanctions, this is Saddam's fault and doubly worse since he was pocketing billions thru oil for fraud, which he could have fed them with.

[buzzmaxwell]

tell the thousands of Kurds killed with sarin and mustard gas that there was no civil war..tell the millions that were tortured and put in mass graves under Saddam there was no civil war..just because there was no free press to show you fucktards on CNN does not mean it didn't take place..they tortured with decapitation and rape..we used waterboards ..see the difference dumbass?

[overmind25]

And the sanctions didn't hurt Saddam at all did it? He didn't go a day without eating I would beat. Clinton didn't just help start sanctions but bombed the country. And to the user below, the US helped Saddam use chemical weapons in the Iran-Iraq war after Saddam invaded Iran.

[RuflessRecords]

overmind, Saddam is to blame for the sanctions leveled against his country due to his actions, notClinton, whether he felt the pain or not, and your comment about the US helping Saddam use chemical weapons is a lie, Saddam bought chemicals that could be used as pre-cursors for WMD's from some US companies until this was discovered by the Reagan administration and stopped. We don't give WMD's to dictators and we never gave so much as a vial of anthrax to Saddam. You can cite no news source onthat

[overmind25]

Saddam (who the CIA helped bring to power) is to blame for his ordered genocide, not the US pointing guns at those who wished to trade with sick or well Iraqi citizens. Clinton is a mass murderer and so is Albright who said the price of killing hundreds of thousands of people was "worth it". Saddam didn't go a day without eating and he could just use that as an excuse to have more control on the nation by pointing to western crimes.

[overmind25]

The US did help Saddam use chemical weapons and Reagan covered it up. Do a simple goggle search or look on a journal article sight. Israel actually sold them the weapons as well as Iran at the same time. I will give you a link to a history channel clip though since I can post the watch link and not a website. watch?v=gy9z5lGqXDI

[RuflessRecords]

overmind, no the chemical weapons fantasy is a internet myth for idiots. You won't find any mainstream news source that says Reagan gave Saddam WMD's because he didn't. The truth of the story is that Saddam bought chemicals from American companies that could be used as pre-cursors for WMD's until the Reagan administration found out about this and put an end to it. We've never given any WMD's to dictators, including Saddam. There is no news source that says otherwise.

[overmind25]

I never said we gave him chemical weapons. I said we helped him use them. Israel sold chemical weapons to both Iraq and Iran.

[RuflessRecords]

"we didn't give them to him, we helped him use them" hmmmm. Well that's a lie too. "We helped him use chemical weapons". How was this, please detail, and don't give me any crap about conventional weapons we aided him with because he was fighting the people who had just kidnapped our civilians for 400 days. I want to know what tools for emitting gas, or other chemical weapons "help" we provided Saddam that are specific to chemical weapons, with the news source for it, because it never happened.

[RuflessRecords]

Even though citing youtube videos as sources is usually only done by stupid people, in this instance your video is just tape of the History Channel, so it's probably reliable, if it's not edited. It does not say what you claim. Nowhere in this History Channel video does it say we helped Saddam use his chemical weapons. We didn't. We've been against the use of chemical weapons for a century, and we certainly never aid dictators in using them. It cites military help, none specific to WMD's.

[overmind25]

I told you it was a history channel video and I stated I linked you to a youtube video because you cannot link websites in the comment section....Just because it is from the history channel does not mean it is reliable. I guess I am going to have to pin point the parts in the clip since you are going to continue your talking points and excuses.

[overmind25]

4:18-end US fudges reports about chemical weapons and the Reagan administration knew that Saddam was using them. 3:17 Israel sells chemical weapons to Iran and Iraq

Do a simple google search or a journal article search if you have the access at a university. It is not only the history channel that has reported this.

[overmind25]

You as using we to refer to a nation that has human leaders that has changed multiple times. The US has armed and has helped install dictatorships and death squads worldwide. Iran 1953, Guatemala 1954, Congo 1960, Cambodia 1970 Indonesia 1965, Nicaragua 1981the list goes one After the US government canceled elections in Vietnam and helped support Deim, the dictator in the South, it used agent orange on the people.

[RuflessRecords]

overmind, nothing that's in the video says the Reagan administration helped Saddam use chemical weapons. They didn't. "a simple google search" would turn up thousands of conspiracy fairy sites. News articles that you can keyword for me here without a link, and I know you won't, because they don't exist, that detail how the US helped Saddam use chemical weapons would prove your point. You won't cite them because they don't exist.

[overmind25]

I just gave you the time frame in the history channel video. You can choose to ignore it all you wish and what it states. I will do this one last time because you seem you already have made up your mind that they do not exist despite the video I have linked you too and the easy access of the information.

[overmind25]

Google Reagan Saddam intelligence chemical weapons Iraq general

Click on OFFICERS SAY U.S. AIDED IRAQ IN WAR DESPITE USE OF GAS

Iraqi General: US Helped Us as We Used Chemical Weapons

[RuflessRecords]

Last comment overmind, I guess what you're trying to say is the US should not have allegedly pushed for the UN to only say chemical weapons were being used in the Iran-Iraq war. You're not claiming, because it would be totally false, that we helped Saddam use chemical weapons; including any materials or technology related to it. There is no evidence that the small aid we gave him (because he was fighting a country that had just kidnapped our people) was related in anyway to chemical weapons.

[overmind25]

No I am stating we helped him use chemical weapons because we knew he was using him but we still gave him battlefield and technological aid and then tried to stop reports coming out that the Iraq was using chemical weapons. The US was not the only country that gave him aid.

[overmind25]

When you say a country that kidnapped our people you have to know that the US state held the whole of Iran hostage after it overthrew Irans PM in 53 and helped to reinstall and then fund a dictatorial monarch that was then overthrown.

[RuflessRecords]

overmind, the video makes the claim, that after we gave Saddam aid in fighting Iran, none of which had anything to do with chemical weapons, that Reagan, according to documents, knew Saddam was using chemical weapons against Iran. No where does the History Channel claim we helped him use those weapons in your video. You apparently can't understand your own video and are trying to make it say something that fits a pre-conceived wrong idea. It never says we helped Saddam use chemical weapons.

[RuflessRecords]

overmind, again, we don't sanction people for fun, we didn't sanction France or Belgium, Iraq was sanctioned because of Saddam's actions and he is to blame for the sanctions, not Clinton or the UN.

[overmind25]

I never said we did it for fun. I said sanctioning Iraq helped lead to mass death.

[overmind25]

, and was not effective against Saddam but was "worth it" according to the Clinton administration.

[buzzmaxwell]

statistics can be manipulated to say anything..look at the purple fingers held proudly as a display to the would be oppressors after the first free election in Iraq for half a century..freedom is not free and our fight is not against the Iraqi people you fucktard..it is against those that love something other than liberty and will fight peace at all cost...would you have had the Iraqis live in the oppression they did indefinitely? what would have been your solution for Iraq Einstein?

[poop121]

sure, stats can be manipulated, but they definitely have more relevance than the oversimplifying and in many ways blatantly false slogans you rely on like "freedom is not free" and "we love liberty, they hate it."

my solution is a simple one. stop pretending that we have the authority to police the world. i don't have much faith that the us will install a stable gov't in iraq, or that they want to. remember the us aided saddam for at least half of his rule, even when he was gassing the kurds.

[durstwurst]

Plus: Don't sell weapons to any oppressing undemocratic and instable country.

[usergently]

So stop the selling of arms from the u.s to israel!

[buzzmaxwell]

truer words were never spoken my friend..these idiots still claim the people of Iraq were happier under Saddam..i call bullshit on that..people always would choose freedom over oppression..

[buzzmaxwell]

First,where do you get your numbers?Second,do you have an understanding of cause and effect?

Saddam has the heavy karma from ruling the way he did.We have helped the Iraqis out of his tyranny.The people of Iraq deserve peace.lasting peace without the oppression of some cleric or dictator.A peace that stems from self government.If you were fortunate enough to have participated in this process more than once,or to have served the country that makes it possible,we would not need this discussion!

[buzzmaxwell]

ocean of blood? we lost more soldiers in one day of fighting during the invasion of Normandy during WWII than we have in this entire police action..peace is not cheap and it is sad that even one life has been lost, but those that hate liberty, hate us and that is simply how it is..

[oliversinhell]

i was referring to the ocean of Iraqi blood !!! as for liberty , most Americans don't even understand the word !

[buzzmaxwell]

so you think their Liberty should be paid for only with our blood? Freedom is very much a currency..it is not guaranteed by any documents derived by man..it is paid for by those who see its value..often we have those that are appearing as innocent caught as collateral..either way the Iraqi people will be better without the oppressive rule of the tyrant and only the purple fingers shown from free elections will prevail in the end!
