Of the 9/11 hijackers, 15 Saudis, one Egyptian, one Lebanese and two from the Union of Arab Emirates (UAE). None were from Iraq..... The UN Security Council did not fail you Mr Bush, they knew you were lying, and it was painfully obvious when people, like myself, watched Colin Powell's pathetic argument to go to war on CSPAN.
Interesting how Saddam never used WMDs when he was the most threatened during the Gulf War, though he fired numerous SCUDs, none of which were nuclear nor nerve agents...
it will falls we are making a plans here in Tunisia and Egypt to make protester go to the street of jorden then yamen after that Saudi Arabia will be under fear from its border then we will hit the net and the government net system after we make the king their weak we well begin after we finish from Egypt by attacking the net in jorden first a king has to fall if one king do falls the other will do too automatically
aljazeera gave exact locations in Afghanistan & Iraq , BOTH were bombed . It's obvious why the Pentagon began it's smear campaign against aljazeera , thery didn't want the TRUE REALITIES of their actions to reach Arabs and just as importantly Americans .
While aljazeera was doing REAL , Honest journalism , CNN ; MSNBC & Fox were parading Generals , Colonels & CIA every hour helping them to spin , lie and spread propaganda with Pentagon approved TITLES on SCREEN , "Operation blah , blah blah . "
AIPAC actively fought to prevent Americans cable access to Al-Jazeera. Cox and Comcast wont carry it. DC has it because the diplomats demanded it. And I think either Vermont or Maine has it, but those states have always thought for themselves.
Al-Jazeera coverage globally is well-funded and well-staffed. Their global reports are excellent.
We need cable access to Al-Jazeera in the hinterland.
It pisses me off that shit he said about "Just following orders" and he's such a hypocrite with that after finding out about Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay and contract workers there he approved of like Blackwater. Before the invasion Iraq was quite progressive for a Muslim mid east country. Women could drive and work, different religions worshiped and were friendly and prayed for each other. So sad. :(

I didn't realise there where so many documantaries on Iraq till I saw the wikiedia page. The best ones are the ones without an agenda though - just candid opinions from troops and civillians.
We watched a bit of this today in college for media studies. Really interesting. I find it funny that the Americans were like "oh ur bias for showing American troops hurting people" and I was just like, well ur bias for not showing it. I'm not saying one side is better, but I'm saying we need both sides to be a little bias, cos in the middle is the truth.
I love the question he asks, about WHEN did Saddam threaten to use the WMD. WHEN did he publically/privately threaten the US.
@ronoc9 very few issues have two sides and a middle, they are just portrayed that way. needless to say, this "middle" is no more likely to be the truth than any other point of view. the whole idea that the middle is always right is just another form of thought control commonly used in propaganda, where the middle means whatever a given propagandist (governments, corporate media, etc.)supports.
@psbjr Do you not think thats a bit contradictory. I mean why would propagandists risk everything by showing a middle, both side of the arguement. Yes, it is possible that show "a middle" maybe give your source some credibility, but its very hard to do so. I believe the middle, as in the REAL middle is possible. You just have to restrict yourself, and be honest. Easier said than done I suppose.
@ronoc9 well when the spectrum of debate is absurdly narrow, the middle is arbitrarily dictated by the people who determine the premises of the debate. And again, even when that's not true, there's no reason to simply assume that no one could be fully right or fully wrong...you have to just look at facts...
@ronoc9 the problem with your suggestion is that it pre-supposes two and only two "sides" to a story, and everything aligned on a linear spectrum. Not only is there no reason to suggest that the truth lies between two positions, but there is no reason to believe there are only two. But the false choice of "two sides" is another means of control of the outcomes of politics by controlling terms of discourse
@neumann103 Sorry, I didn't mean that their are two sides, I meant their are a minimum of two INTERPRETATIONS; "for" and "against". And oh god yes, I will agree that these two extreme do help to keep people in order. I suppose it asks a question; does having everyone agree with you help you win an arguement, or does it simpy end the arguement faster.
There's this great cartoon called "Captain Capitalism" that says that boiling things down to "pro/con" is "helpful" to make decisions, lol.
@ronoc9 Point taken, whether I misunderstood your intent or it is merely the limits of a 500 character essay. I think that what both psbjr and I were getting at is that it is very convenient to have this false binary distinction. Make the "pro" unacceptable and the "con" is on. It is even more convenient in the American context, where there is a longstanding thread of belief in "two sides" and where the defacto official two party system offers two false choices of the same corporatist agenda.
@ronoc9 He was a puppet dictator placed there by our government and then used as an expendable asset once he was no longer useful. This continues today and has existed for decades with other regimes. The more I learn about the continuity of government agenda's the more radicalized I feel in my bias against it. Does that make me a terrorist? :(
@ronoc9 I actually strongly disagree about "the middle" being "the truth". It's our mainstream media's MO to take two sides that they call left- and right-wing bias, then occupy the middle ground as if that's always the truth no matter what. The world isn't perfectly symmetrical like that. Sometimes there is a right and a wrong side, and journalism is supposed to be the force that gets the facts and finds out which side that is. Centrism for its own sake does not good journalism make.
@gg4465a sorry, i get what you mean.Obviously u cant apply the middle to everything, like rape or something, but what I meant was when information distribution and historical recording is concerned we should take opposing biases and agendas and combine them to get a "fairer" view.
I know your comment is two years old, but I'm sure you still hold the same views. Robert Fisk is a great journalist who says "we should be bias on the side of those who suffer"
@trollfinger I've changed a little in the sense I accept bias as a common trait that EVERYONE has and that the only "positive" option is to "try" to not be as bias, but more or less, I suppose I still believe in practicing what you preach. Interesting quote, but who's to say who's suffering. To some people, Iraq is the only one suffering. To other its the troops. I don't know, I still think its a simple "out of sight out of mind" thing. Cool name btw :D
very good film. Revealed the disturbing level of brainwashing & indoctrination of both US media & military. It's true that the Arabs failed to unite to stop the Americans. but its also true that most Arab regimes are American stooges plain & simple. The average Arab in the street knows full well the criminal & murderous intentions of the US but with such inept leaders, there is little that could be done. In the end the Iraqis + a few Arab volunteers had to stand on their own.
