Iraqis sceptical over US elections - 31 Dec 07

[Agoony77]

The previous comments posted are in regards to the british soldiers beating Iraqi civilians.

[Agoony77]

I think this video is nothing, but British hatred and discrimination against the Iraqis. You've invaded the country and beating Iraqi youth with no justification whatsoever. Is this the freedom, humanity or liberation? Shame on you! You are true criminals with no dignity "Nor" feelings, this is a coward act. This shows how dirty and filthy British soldiers are!

[artin74]

they are stil guilty.

[usnavyvet2002]

This is such utter biased bullshit. The reason things are safer there is because the US spent blood and treasure with additional forces. When the Iraqis are ready the US will gladly get the hell out of there. Utterly ridiculous reporting.

[YadaYadaguy]

waht democrate said pulling troops out? only Ron Paul is saying he will remove the troops.and give iraq the bases we built...democrates are Neo-Cons just like most of the Rebulicans ...they plan to stay in the region

[harbinger317]

they should say the truth that it is the liberal european reporters of aljazeera that are skeptical about us elections and then they project their feelings onto innocent iraqis.

[TheOffkilter]

Oh by the way Typhon, you sound like the Muslim extremists.except they turned around towards us. YOU are subhuman.

[TheOffkilter]

Pakiman47 you are an idiot, dont even criticize the US when Pakistan is not even a democracy but a military dictatorship.I fought the Al-Qaeda scum in An-Najaf and Fallujah and the Republican Guard cowards in Tikrit.if you Arabs prefer them or dictators to democracy and choice then you can take them all and burn in hell!

[ihop94535]

Dam, I know that we lowered our standards to Canada, but now Pakistan???

[Sultan1923]

Democracy doesn't come through the barrel of a gun. You are a hypocrite.

[Typon]

hey wake the fuck up. They're muslims, subhumans. Nobody gives a shit if they are raped, tortured, killed or whatever, in fact they deserve it.

[divineintervener]

Come on now. I am also critical of Muslims but most are decent people and most do not deserve these things.

[C666O]

Actually you are subhuman.

[matrixoverkill]

Stop spreading hate and fear.Save it for the hate mongering forums not here.I know quite a few Muslims who are law abiding and peaceful so your theories have no substance.

[BUDDAWG2004]

so why dont the iraqis get their shit together, then we will leave. ungrateful bastards. why dont they go after the suicide bombers and others that are disrupting life in iraq.

[pakiman47]

have you no shame? ungrateful? you destroyed their country, killed hundreds of thousands, maybe a million, raped and pillaged like barbarians, and they should be grateful? you bastards deserve to die, and your failure in iraq is only a bittersweet victory for freedom loving people world wide because of the tremendous cost. get the fuck out of everyone's country now and focus on your own fucked up excuse for a nation.

[ambientdiscord]

unfortunately i have to agree with you for the most part aside from wishing death to people.

[BUDDAWG2004]

I couldnt help but notice that you are from kuwait. your welcome and fuck off. if it wasnt for then president bush and the U.S you would be kissing sadams ass right now since he just rolled right into your country.asshole

[DaMonkey500]

That has nothing to do with the Iraqis being grateful, moron.

[DaMonkey500]

We destroyed their electricity, gas, and water structures in the Gulf war. The radiation from our bombs gave many tumors. We've killed millions of their men, women, and children. And you want them to be grateful?

[matrixoverkill]

Iraqis are getting their shit together.Why do you think theres been a drop in attacks on U.S troops the last few months?Iraqis will not be ruled by fear by either the terrorists or U.S forces.

[mavtek]

Damn poor Iraqi's have no clue that even the Dem's aren't getting out of Iraq.

[projectdurden]

Is there a Ron Paul meet up group in Baghdad yet? He'd probabply get more support there than he would in Iowa.

[RevoluionOmni]

Seems not many in Iraq have heard of Ron Paul. Shame, he's far better than any Dem candidate and far more trustworthy.

[fuzzybekool]

Ron Paul as Commander-in-Chief will pull our troops out in an orderly and honarably fashion. Our troops won't be used to fight unconstitutional wars for leaders and pundits who never even wore a uniform.

Ron Paul 2008.

Ron Paul is owned by only one special interest - The American People

[ShiekYerbooty]

"Their promises disappear the moment they are elected ".....wow, they know more about U.S. politics than we do, lol

[matrixoverkill]

Thats because politicians are the same the world over.Lies lies and more lies once in power.This crosses all political spectrums including dictatorships, religious or otherwise.

[dashocker1976]

Democrats!LMAO

Ron Paul 2008

[pakiman47]

Dennis Kucinich? Ron Paul is a racist, pro-corporation evangelical nutcase.

[jammoexii]

He's right, you know.

What I think is really interesting that all these supposed "libertarians" don't actually research their candidate, but rather seem to follow him around because everyone else does.

[nonrepublicrat]

not so mr. pakiman. not so at all. don't believe everything you are told. if you actually want US troops out of iraq, dr. paul is the only candidate who will do this. the democrats are just pretenders. you really should be sure you know what you are talking about when you accuse someone like this.

[libassbug]

Obviously the Iraqi's don't know much about democrats. Luckily they know nothing about Ron Paul.

[fordsmith]

only ron paul or dennis kucinich would be good for iraq... all the rest would just extend their hell on earth for many more years. RON PAUL 2008!!!!!!!

[smillar98]

Iraqis for Ron Paul!

[stol1249]

Americans as a people want nothing more than to leave the Iraqi people govern thamselves. The problem with leaving Iraq prematurely; is that there will be a security vacuum left behind and sectarian violence will no doubt increase and Al Qaeda's influence will subjugate a fledgeling democracy and throw it back into the stone age.

Iraqis have suffered enough and Americans are there to protect them until they are ready to protect themselves

[fuel20]

They know all major candidates dont give a shit about them... It's up to us grass roots effort to make Iraqis happy.

[dontTouchMyFknRadio]

i love those Iraqi women. they are soo hot. we need to take all the hot women out of iraq and move them to my town, and we can ship back all the fat white pigs that we have now.

[MementoExpose]

looooool, nice !

[svbjnr]

WE WANT R FUCKING OIL ITS R's, YOU RAGHEADS OWE US BIG TIME ,FOR GETTIG SMELL HUSSAIN OUT ,SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE ,BANK LOAN 30 YEARS ,OIL FREE 30 YEAR,NOW FUCKING SIGN.........CHEERS YA MUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[joojoojuice]

1/10 trolling

[hollycowbatman]

The dummy crats and the repugnant party are two terminating seeds in a pod. Believe what you want believe, choose your death.' Anyone interested in salvation and consideration for humanity?" Get involved; do not accept the argument that a few people can't make a change. It is fact; it is the only thing that ever has!

[gotme231]

Take the fuckin hint americans. YOU ARE NOT WANTED IN IRAQ!...What part of 'no' don't u understand?

U are sillier than I thought.

[Thugpatrol]

quiet douchebag, americans dont want to be in Iraq either.

[daveho77]

The only presidential candidate truely dedicated to ending the war with Iraq is RON PAUL!!!! It's not about the democrats or republicans, it's about what the candidates stands for.

[jammoexii]

Shut the fuck up about Ron Fucking Paul.

[crazycatfguy]

Kucenich will pull the troops out of Iraq but Ron Paul is the only one will leave the Middle east alone after he pulls the troops out so you shut the fuck up about Ron Paul.

[breaks0]

You're right he will. He just won't do a damn thing for americans either, except cut your taxes and gut your government. All while he's going after immigrants. Ron Paul, isolationist libertarian. Kucinich is a more rational choice.

[crazycatfguy]

I understand the blogoshere is overun with disinfo about RP but go to ontheissues dot org and see how he votes. His views match the founding fathers and name one fuck up the US has made that could not have been avoided if we had not kept to their constitution.

[crazycatfguy]

Gut the government? If you think he has a chance in hell of getting any legislation like that passed into law you know nothing about lobbyist.

[crazycatfguy]

95% of mexican immigrants call themselves Catholic. No birth control while taking the low paying jobs americans won't do. Who is going to pick up the slack but the taxpayers? Corporations get cheap labor and idiots like you subsidize them with your taxes.

[crazycatfguy]

Kucenich loves the constitution except for that pesky 2nd amendment.

[crazycatfguy]

If he pulls out and Elizabeth Kucenich runs I will vote for her.

[takerdust]

I hope Ron Paul does very little for us. We just need him to keep the nation secured, and our courts running, and deal with foreign policy. He will leave the states to run itself like its supposed to be according to our god damn Constitution. Federalism can suck it!

[takerdust]

fuck you

[breaks0]

Well the two of you are illustrating my point exactly. Without federalism we wouldn'tve had civil rights in the 1960s and we'd still have jim crow. There'd also never have been a new deal, medicare, great society, the fcc and ftc, etc. All very positive things for the large majority of the country.

[breaks0]

As to the 2nd ammendment, you're right kucinich had the backbone to do something after va tech. What did ron do? And as to the lobbyist comment, well ya that's why the system needs change, just not by gutting the govt. None of this is based on blogs, it's based on the records of history, of each candidate and what the country needs now. Now some a-historical libertarian fantasy of how the country should be or ever was run.

[mcteethinator]

Damn I wish I could have thumbed up you for that.

[eLTeProductions]

I feel bad that a lot of this BS formed from what? Oil?

[d991]

Press TV (dot) com writes about Ron Paul all the time. If the Iraqi people heard Ron Paul talk they would change their minds about having a Democrat elected. Especially since the top 3 won't commit to having US troops out before 2013....

[mrgrieves9876]

these iraqis need to hear RON PAUL

[shane1sc]

I think Al Jazeera is Arabic for FOX NEWS

[bbproductionsLA]

America 1776

Do what you Iraqis must do, but use educated people.

[julianhpike]

Clinton and Obama both claim they MIGHT be able to have troops by 2013 ... a year AFTER either of them would be up for re-election. Sad to see people actually swallow there BS along with the Nea-Cons.

[marcusjansen239369]

maybe we should do some RON PAUL promotion there! If they only knew...

[Riauw]

Ron Who? Is he the guy that has had 3 wives or something or was he the one caught having sex with a man in the ladies?

[blumac81]

Whatttt? They are more blind than I thought if they think once America leaves the violence will stop.

[imnodog]

it's their country, it's not for you to decide.

[blumac81]

Oh I just love how your voice gets muted if you have an opposing viewpoint on youtube... ya go ahead hide my comment and lets all be the same yes-men ^_^

On that not though, while I do believe that the violence will NOT stop once America leaves, I do believe that we should leave anyway because we have a great deal of issues in the states that need to be dealt with.

"Do not tend to the splinter in another's eye when you have a log in your own" Stop wasting our money Bush!

[imnodog]

I agree with you on the hiding thing, youtube should change the thumbs up/down to just show how many ppl may agree with the comments and how many disagrees with it, but not hide the comment. In a way, it's a type of censorship.

[Ayeere]

I have to agree, Al Jazeera just printed a story called "Sunni Forces targeted in Iraq" and the story is about how its Iraqi on Iraqi.

So If America leaves the Iraqis will stop killing each other based on Sunni or Shia? $5 says no. Then it becomes a proxy war for Saudi Arabia and Iran.

[Qeeyroo]

so what are the americans gonna do about it that they couldn't do the last 4 years. Saudi, and Iran are always gonna be there. Besides the only conflict between Saudi and Iran is regarding the American military presence in Saudi.

[Ayeere]

oh hell, was against the war in Iraq (not for any noble purpose, just b/c i HATED HATED Bush, long family fued). I hope we pull out asap. I just wanted to know really, what will change?

[imnodog]

ayeere, it will change the world's hatred towards americans

[blumac81]

Nothing will change, I guarentee you there will still be war and violence. Think about Israel.... America has held that country in such esteem for so long, yet wistained from fighting within their country. Has the violence stopped? No. What wretched wrath fuels the hatred within, lies only in the past. Remember that.

[imnodog]

Blumac, that's exactly why America should just stay away from interfering with other countries, I mean, they are not going to fix the world's problems, they may even make it worse such as the case in Iraq. In the meantime, you guys waste tons of money overseas for nothing (actually, you make more hatred that way).

[imnodog]

In a country such as Iraq where more than 650k CIVILIANS have died since the invasion from the US (that's more than the number of dead from your civil war), it really doesn't matter to them that you took out saddam, it matters to them the instability of that country, and the US was the main consequence for that instability.

[blumac81]

Ya I agree with you. You don't know how frustrating it is when you want our troops to pull out so bad but, as a typical citizen, you can't do anything about it. :(

[imnodog]

you can vote :p

hope you'll cast your vote wisely

[TrevorJNoyes]

The only candidate that will withdraw troops is Ron Paul and republican. None of the democrats will do anything but continue business as usual. Ron Paul is the only hope for America,if there even is an election. Don't be too surprised if something bad happens and Bush amends whats left of the constitution.

[Xenu]

Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich are business as usual? At least they support civil rights, which is more than I can say about that superstitious cracker Paul.

[StridentLobster]

Absolutely, Xenu. If you want an anti-war candidate, those two democrats are the way to go. Not Ron Paul, the man who would send economic justice back to the stone age.

[takerdust]

I guess free market giants like Hong Kong are poor. Oh wait, its one of the wealthiest places on earth.

[StridentLobster]

Wealth and quality of life are not the same thing. Independent panels rate social democracies like Sweden, Finland, and Iceland as -far- better places to live, in terms of education, health care, social equality and freedom of speech than so-called free market economies like those of the US or Hong Kong. Need I even mention that unregulated industry has made China and the US the world's worst polluters?

[nonrepublicrat]

you know, i have been wondering what "indendent panels" have to say about this.

you are quite amusing!!

[divineintervener]

By economic justice, you mean taxing everyone to benefit freeloaders who refuse to find a job? No thank you.  I work for a living.

[StridentLobster]

Actually, I was more thinking about labour outsourcing (Think of IT to India, or farming to South America) and sweatshop labour (how Wal-Mart keeps its prices so low). Both are practices that are encouraged by unregulated markets, like the kind Ron Paul advocates. It gets tough for the average citizen to "work for a living" when so many of the US's jobs end up being done in China for 12 cents an hour.

[divineintervener]

I stand corrected. But I still think you misunderstand his whole point. He says the kind of "free-market" treaties we have are not free market and create the kind of problem you just referenced. He says they are managed trade and ,in fact, create problems rather than wealth... at least here in this country.

[imnodog]

I guess they haven't heard ron paul yet, much better than the democrats for taking the troops away.
