What do you think about the situation in Iraq?

[Bobby2fish]

I do not believe America has helped the Iraqi people. I believe the people who REALLY want us to continue fighting there are ..Osama Bin Laudin,and those people selling weapons. I saw a video by Osama about 4 years ago in which he said.."we will make the Americans fight us until we bankrupt them"

[cooliot15]

needs to stop. Nothing needs to be said. Just get it done, get out now while we can

[xcit]

For the user lastinline you dont have a fuckin clue what your talking about. You are a sheep plugged into your tv without any true knowledge of what the hell is going on in Iraq or around the world. Wonder why more military men both retired current vets support ROn Paul. They know this war is a farce if you want to listen to hannity or Oreilly watch fake news but do not bring that shit here asshole. These solders are risking and losing their lives to protect another country instead of ours.

[ynnyytty]

Why would any Islamic terrorists want to attack Sweden in the first place? Terrorists don't go around doing suicide for the joy of it. They do it because NATO has been in their countries for years and they have killed their families and they are left with extreme hate against the aggressors. That's logical isn't it. Sweden didn't invade Iraq, Afghanistan, nor do they have military bases in Saudi Arabia and they didn't overthrow a democratic president in Iran and install a brutal dictator. Think!

[GungHoEastSkiers]

Progress is being made, but not in a military sense. I say we should fix it up in there (rebuild damaged towns and families) and then get out without leaving them with a crappy country or the opportunity for it to become another military dictatorship. That's what we're afraid of.

[ynnyytty]

You can't afford it. The economy is already crashing, the dollar is going down the drain and your government is loaning more money than ever before. You have a debt of over 9.2 trillion $. You went in for the oil and now you have to stay for the oil. If you don't stop loaning and spending, the United States of America will come to an end sooner than you think.

[TomAwtry]

Great cinematography, you accomplished getting your message across in a very affective manner over a very important issue in this coming election. As for me, personally, I'm a veteran of the Vietnam conflict, but I opposed to the War in Iraq, only because our present administration lied to us Americans and the International about the Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Vote in 08, that's what is important!

[lastinline99]

Think of it. 9 men caused the deaths of over 3 thousand people in one day. The same type of men were doing that in the middle east. Our American military don't conquer, they liberate. Because of their occupation in the middle east many people now are enjoying at least some of the comforts we Americans enjoy. Isn't that worth fighting for?

[ynnyytty]

over a million dead people in Iraq.

[ynnyytty]

Why are you rating thumbs down to the stats of the dead in Iraq? Is the truth to terrible for you?

[JoeDrumstick]

the situation is completely different now. After Saddam Hussein, we all thought Iraq would find peace now. The Iraqis are still in an extremely bad situation surrounded by terroristic attacks and the us troops as well.

[TheUnnormals]

Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction. Iraq was not involved in 911. We were misled. Osama Bin Laden is still unaccounted for, as we sacrifice good American soldiers to wage a war against Iraqis based upon mistakes and lies. Anyone who misled the American people into believing that we should send our honorable troops to Iraq should be ashamed. Our troops are heroes. We should glorify their contributions, by actually sending them to the right places. Iraq was a mistake. Iraq is a mistake.

[wtfdude8]

how do u know that Osama bin laden didnt plan 911? wat are the chances that 2 planes crash right into both of the world trade centers? how do u know it was some mentally retarded (no offence) person?

[TheUnnormals]

Osama Bin Laden is connected with 911. Osama Bin Laden is not connected with Iraq in any way. Iraq is not connected with 911 in any way. These are two separate issues here, and not everyone recognizes this. Look it up. Anywhere. There is no connection between Iraq and 911.

[Zoli0]

Let's face it, Iraq was just a war for oil. That stuff about freedom was bollocks - America does business with Saudi Arabia, a dictatorship where women aren't allowed to drive.

[HelenKellersArmy]

Damn rights it's for oil.

As Americans, we are DEPENDANT on oil.

Without it, our nation will lose basically all factories and production facilities!

That's something to fight for, isn't it?

[JoeDrumstick]

thats a horrible comment

[SCOOTERBALLUSA]

In the military its called a cluster Puck like a soft puck on the ice hockey court.

We won in Iraq, we did'nt get out to let the iraqis finish it off themselves.....

[thompsonlake]

America is NOT at war.

The Marines are at war.

America is at the Mall.

[lastinline99]

true words. see my comment.

[lastinline99]

sorry, the comment i replied to was deleted. so this one doesn't make sense.

[enoughbullshit]

@thompsonlake lol...

[justlooking365]

stay----figth!!war for 10 more year lets see if we can suck all of iraqs oil and take all the golds and anything we need fuck them all and drop the A bomb no drop 10 A bomb and then drop 20 N bomb and kill every living thing in iraq. then come home a winner a hero we can not let iraq be like vitenam......

[TerranKyra]

Hero's don't murder the innocent. Americana. I'm guessing you're either being incredibly sarcastic about everything your saying, or you really are the most un-evolved growth of pond scum this side of the Mississippi.

[ERMI0791]

I am from Iraq and just wanna thank US young men and women for freeing my country from the a brutal dictator. Please don't give up your great work and don't let the terrorist control Iraq.

[ynnyytty]

You're not from Iraq asshole. Your wrote that comment from a US computer.

[HungryMonkey83]

We need to pull the fuck out and face the real enemy, those who started this plot in the first place.

[longfellowtube2]

I think its a crime

[panzerkilla]

Pull out of Iraq, Iran roles in, uses prophits from oil and other economies to fund terrorist organizations, their nuclear program, and plenty other things aimed at America's demise. Pull outa Iraq and let those idiots win and u may aswell pull out of America as well. As we see with Israel Arabs don't go for diplomacy they want it all.

[panzerkilla]

Sorry I miss-spelled profit lolz.. What can I say I stink at spelling.

[M44resto]

Yes, because gay rights are more important than what's happening with the economy or foreign policy.

[wtfdude8]

if we drop out of iraq the us is screwed. those extremist will be at our door with a rpg in thier hands pionting at us.

[M44resto]

You're such a dumbass pandering to the media. And how are they going to afford to fight us, we destroyed their country! They didn't attack us in the first place.

[wtfdude8]

uh yeah they did attack us. Sept. 11th 2001? ring a bell?

[TheUnnormals]

We were attacked on 911 by Osama Bin Laden, not by Saddam Hussein. The Iraqi regime, although quite awful, was not responsible in any way for 911. Al Quaeda was responsible for 911. Osama Bin Laden is still at large.

[lakerdave]

The US is going into a deep freeze recession.

Nothing will stop it because the US is not voting on who is in control of China and never will.

The US owes China amounts of money the US will never be able to pay back. Good Luck to you

[jdm081]

Saynotoislamdotcom is an idiot!! I am a Baptist and I believe what the bible says and what Jesus has taught us. And that doesn't include murdering,stealing, and lying.

[wild4fp]

i am not a christian or believe in a diety, but i also have values that believe in not murdering, steal and occassiolnly white lie.

[jdm081]

You sound like a cartoon character that has been brainwashed! This war was all about money for the neocons in the defense industry. You need to research the facts and quit getting all of your ridiculous rhetoric off of Fox news and the Rush Limbaugh website!!!

[lkyspgot57]

I think we should remember what General George S. Patton said: Let NO MAN RETURN Unless We Are Victorious and he also said That We shall Hold for Nobody we will grab the enemy by their noses and kick them in the seat of their pants and take their guts and grease our tanks with them.Most of all he said: Americans LOVE A WINNER NOT A LOSER....LETS NOT FORGET THIS AS A GREAT COUNTRY THAT WE ARE TODAY!!!!

[cassiocm]

what a bunch of horse shit is this? If US keep on relying on war and war industries to prove its value, it is doomed to follow in the way of the Roman empire my friend. Haven't you noticed China, India and others quickly catching up? We better invest in technology, our education, our people and stop these crazy solo adventures overseas. It took me one minute to write this to you. We are spending $500.000 per minute in Iraq my friend.

[lkyspgot57]

My Friend,I agree totally with you but what I am saying is they need a true leader in D.C. and thruout for the military Our presidential canidates leave alot to be desired so we as a country must come together in unity and strength and demand respect and honor so we always have the greatest military in the world and never lose our freedoms and liberties that we have in this great country.Our country needs to Get Out of the NAFTA and Gatt free trade treaties!!!

[SCOOTERBALLUSA]

Hockey Time!

Puck IT!

[gaylord93]

i say were just to far in this situation...theres to much going on with iraq and to little going on with whats really happening

its kinda sad but yet we dont get benifits from it :^/

[segiroon]

There is no one tell the truth.people is dying over the oil

[GudE2Shuze]

That's not true. Many eastern people believe Western lifestyle is evil, without honor, etc. The whole "beating" thing, any religion that follows God believes women to be inferior. Muslims do NOT raise their children with guns any more than us westerners do, if they do, it's only in defense. They "want" to die with honor, to give meaning in their life. No respect another culture, you idiotic bigot.

[alexanderthegreat789]

The reason they want a martyrdom is becouse the koran says that if they do so they get 3 virgins in heaven.

(and i'm not just telling a load of crap here, this is true)

[dstone192]

I agree with your point, but only partially. The way you use the terms "Muslims" and "westerners" is getting just a bit stereotypical, don't you think?

[wiseguylt4]

Our job as soldiers is not to pull out and go home, we train to fight. Doesn't matter if we are for or against the war but fact is we started a job and we gotta finish. If you start mass troop pull outs Iraq would fall apart and we'd be back to square one, which would pretty much mean the soldiers who died thus far died for nothing. If your in Iraq and in the military guess what soldier your doing your job, see why you went to basic training and ait now?

[ynnyytty]

The people want out, the military wants out and the Iraqis want us out. Remind me again why we are staying there?

[lastinline99]

you are not staying there. so stop using we, and the military doesn't want out they want to finish the job. also, if they leave before the country is more stable, there will be disaster. get your facts straight.

[Tapagaja]

Gracias U.S.  De luto estais por defender la LIBERTAD. NUNCA os olvidaremos.

[EMRANNNKHANNN]

I am FROM Afghanistan . long ago when I loved USA I was child I read abute the TOM SOYER and hes sweet friands I thinked that USA is majestic and generous country but now I know that was extent of error . I cannot believe in people of this part of the world . Yes ofcurse if they givs freedom to muslims...and all people of this world . and dear Candidates if you want be like BUSH go to the MARS or even good jupiter there many place for bombing !!! and without human factor ha !!!

[EMRANNNKHANNN]

[ChantantReve]

do you know whose weapons the Iraqis are fighting with? Do you know why Bush was so sure they had weapons of mass destruction. My only guess is that USA sold it to them.

[dstone192]

with a little research my friend, you would find that it wasn't the US doing the selling, but our so-called European friends. Why do you think they so heavily opposed the war up front? I wouldn't enjoy seeing my business partner getting taken out!

[ynnyytty]

The majority of Europeans supported the war in the beginning what are you going on about?

[SwedishGato]

Im European and i am against the war...

So is most of the people i know, and it seems to be the general opinion all over europe.

[ynnyytty]

Well basically everyone is against the war today! But back in 2003 it seemed there were only a few percent that stood against the war.

Including Europe.

Hur går det med PirateBay fallet där då?

[SwedishGato]

I can only speak for me, but i've been against the war from the beginning..

Nja, har inte koll på TPB fallet. Men hoppas att dom klarar sig :)

Sharing is caring :P

[scottythesaint]

Im sorry, what countries out of the 48 european countries supported the war? i know england, and spain gave a little small tiny support but then backed down (came to their senses)..

[JoeDrumstick]

Romania, Italy and im not shure if France was also involved

[scottythesaint]

yeh id check those facts again.. the usa deliberately disobeyed the united nations who were opposed to the war u think u just can do whatever u want.. I think its time for the usa to understand that they dont rule nothing.. they might be a big influence and have a important role in the world.. but use that to make it a better place and unify the people of the world because there r more important problems that affect everybody and everyone

[talia070391]

and by the way ywhen you say that muslim are beating their wife OMGG these are TRADITIONS not RELIGION you arent really cultivate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Islam DOES respect women please please please read the coran before you talk about it

[talia070391]

what kind of pseudonyme is that SAYNOTOISLAMDOTCOM

im a muslim, and i feel horrified when i see things like that do you know that the first victims of islamism are us, the muslims ?? they are mucking up our religion and influence people NAIVE LIKE YOU to hate us why dont YOU read the coran and you will see what is REALLY islam about before judjing people you dont even know

[talia070391]

omg are you that naive?

[talia070391]

you didnt get what i mean : i dont blame american soldier !!!!! the situation is not up to them

im blaming bush and his government

by the way thats not because you are behind youre screen that you can permit yourself to be agressive toward people

[abileche]

The question is simple:what the americans are doing in irak?

[talia070391]

the answer is simple : they're taking oil

[NeoXus299]

why dont USA leave? fuck bush, the army can controll it self? time for some revloution?

[talia070391]

absolutely

[ChantantReve]

Strange how there are plenty of other countries that need help...and I'm not saying Iraq wasn't/isn't one of them... but to say that USA is there to help is such bull!@#$. I'm sick of the games and lies.

[sunnyhelena]

excellent video...this war is a sham and a digrace, as is the current administration.

[sunnyhelena]

Wkoever will end this gets my vote, this war is a disgrace and so is the current administration

afvetarmywife Part 4 September 28, 2007

I couldn't write anymore yesterday. It hurt too much. I can barely contain my tears in front of the kids. I felt lethargic as I went through the motions of getting Julie off to school. I had to make an effort to speak above a whisper. It was very hard to pretend so the kids wouldn't notice but I guess I succeeded because neither of them said anything or looked at me strangely or anything. I reminded Julie to give a note to the counselor today.

[airforcevetarmywife]

afvetarmywife Part 3

I hope that anyone who reads it will be stirred to help this hopeless situation and speak out. Please, for the sake of your military and their families, ask Congress to refuse to approve any more money for this "war"! September 27, 2007

Dan left for Iraq today. September 28, 2007

[airforcevetarmywife]

afvetarmywife Part 2 Military members are not speaking out against the "war" because they are not allowed to. Retainment looks good on paper because they are forcing people in critical career fields to stay up to 3 years after their contract has ended. We are in a never ending cycle; Iraq-home, Iraq-home...and it is destroying military families. I wish we were important enough to warrant media coverage. Below there are a couple of pages from my diary.

[airforcevetarmywife]

Part 1

I am an Air Force veteran and the wife of a current Army officer. I know many Army families as well as their deployed spouses who feel the same as I do. I don't think our military is being accurately represented in the media. Top officials are saying that retainment and morale are great but it's just not true.

[ladyriskie]

why did america bring brittain into they're stupid war with Iraq? It's not as though brittain ever invalve the u.s into their wars. America wasn't in ww1 and they didn't win ww2. pearl harbour was bombed by japan ( hence veitnam) not the ussr! hence no requests for u.s.help in ww2, and no reason 4 dead uk soldiers.

[TheDecidicator]

The answer:

British Petroleum Oil. Britain is a suitor country for the oil and must participate to make the scheme creditable and to share in the spoils.

[mockerbird]

I propose the use of more drones and robot devices to scout and protect the troops, or let the locals take the initiatives. Build a few of the new special vehicles for special uses, but quit trying to be "occupiers" in the old fashion sense. We need to focus on terrorists, using new strategies. Control the importation of explosives, and confront states that participate in those operations. Surely there is some intelligent way to fight terrorism. Can't do it the old way.

[TheDecidicator]

The country is in a state of anarchy. There is no creditable government. Hence, EVERYONE is a terrorist.

The way we "fight" is to spend another $190 billion. It's about oil, power, and weakening the Arab influence in the Middle East.

Why talk about illogical things like strategy and intelligence. US re-elected Bush. Live with it!

[RevJeffrey7]

I'm Jeffrey7, I just posted to all your questions but I think I can sum up in one simple phrase;

Cut Defense Spending by 60%,stop funding 'Black Projects' and we'll have enough to pay for education k-Grad School, Healthcare for all Americans, End the Iraq war by arresting those responsible for it,(Bush & Co.. Make alternitive energy policy 1. grants for homeowners to make solar,wind available on a wider scale, Make environmental restoration the new jobs market.

[SCORPION890099]

My country is next door to Iraq so we no about wats happening.

[dwyn11]

Tell me what you know about whats happening in Iraq.

[ember77]

Also if you believe that we are hurting the iraq's then oviously you have no mind of your own this has helped the them stand up to suddam hussain and helped them set up their own goverment. All of you need to learn to resist propaganda.Also I believe the reason we keep losing wars is because of the media people are informed to much everyone will eventually learn though that the war is essential when we pull out of iraq and they start attacking us on U.S. soil. that is all I have to say.

[ember77]

God why cant you morons get it through your thick skulls that Bush isn't such a bad guy. I am not saying that he was the best president but you poeple are such morons. The war in iraq is essential to both the U.S. and the iraq's. It benifets the U.S. by not only keeping the terrorists from bombing the U.S. but also for the economy.

[BaghdadY80]

hameen97 actually i dont agree with you.. because of the islamic parties we have now a kinda civil.war !! its actually the parties who make troubles and all bombs trying to force the other side to accept what they want!! and the offers are the civilians. Bush have to support the patriotic parties like Ayad Allawi..its the best choice right now to solve our problems. and again.. we need early elections

[hameen97]

Bush should be impeached for war crimes

[NoliaGirl1975]

I think President Bush is trying to finish something that his father didn't finish during the "Desert Storm" war. Unfortunately, he has been unsuccessful thus far and is causing more havoc than accomplishing anything. This whole war has cost more lives and money than it has done good. Where are the weapons of mass destruction? NOTHING has been found!

[JEANNlEV]

Why do we kill people, who kill people to show that killing people is wrong? Do we enforce fighting and gun violence in schools? We try to teach our children to be civiled, but what do we show them on the news? Who has the best bomb? Who can hurt the most? A wise man changes his mind, a fool never. I want to see a President who knows how to teach by example and understands the meaning of compassion and understanding for diversity. Show me someone that knows how to learn from one another.

[joyville2]

EXACTLY!

[anty4eva91]

true.

[BaghdadY80]

Well americans have to solve it by iraqi way.. they think they can solve it by their way thats why its chaos there!We have to revote. its the best time now coz ppl now understand who will serve them and take care of them. before they have been fooled by redicals and nationalists. if we get the chance to vote, no1 would vote for those!we need patriotic candidates. we have now civilwar because of the redicalists and nationalists parties.we need Liberal patriotic parties to take over the country

[hameen97]

America, of course, should have never went to Iraq but that is water over the bridge. We have accomplished nothing but losing military and civilian lives. The country is torn with civil war which we opened the door for. Iraq ia an Islamic Country and should be ruled by Islamic law not America's view of how it should run but how the Quran says it should be run,

[TheDecidicator]

Accomplished nothing? Oil WAS $25 per barrel. now it's $80. For oil men like Bush, Cheney, Rice, and Karzai that is a lot!
