the one who destroyed WTC sits in USA and enjoys thanks giving

[AHSERIOUSHIT]

listen it isnt some huge conspiracy some pissed off muslims attacked us ok this shit goes back hundreds of years to the middle ages they still hate western people like they did during the crusades 100 % of terrorist attacks on us have been by muslims some of them are good sure. whatever but the hatred of the west by some of the pissed off muslimshas been going on since the damn knights and castles and shit The word assassin was made by muslims to certain muslims who only job was to kill infidels

[weeladat19]

@AHSERIOUSHIT last time i checked al queda attacked us not iraq and 100% of terrorism is not perped by muslims. last time i checked there were such things as christian extremists and the fact that a word originates with one group doesn't mean that they are always assassins or the only people who kill over religion. just correcting your horribly incorrect generalizations

[mskydolphin]

Great info site

Google:

9/11 for dummies Matt Marriott

Especially the video of MIT engineer

Jeff King.

Peace

[z1freerider]

There will still be war even when the US leaves because Iraq is riddled with sectarian violence. The funny thing is that the sectarian violence has been there long before the U.S. invasion but you never saw Iraq anti-war protesters.

[bosaat1]

u didnt go there for oil you idiots? stupid retarts, what else is there besides oil? americans didnt need to fuck the country up just to take down one idiot(saddam) but its ok, what goes around comes around ;)

[Mourningsickness]

yet another stupid useless movie from rocketboom it wastes peoples time by showing crap and as for for the shitty comments below you are better giving Bush a blow job to find out why he organised the attack on Iraq. Your country sucks if you think it's the greatest not even I think my country is and it is doing whole lot better than yours, go get that meat pie of a brain examined.

Every single person here that insulted GW Bush or any of the current candidates..........When your president you'll have the right to disrespect such an authority.

[miketheday]

Impeach and prosecute GW Bush and his leader Dick Cheney!

I hope John McCain lapses into a 6 month coma.

[Soccer55554444]

lol. congratulations for being sucked into the spin. The Dems have NO case against George W Bush. The Dems are just angry that we impeached Bill Clinton (worst president ever, Sorry if I have standards for president such as integrity)and are trying to get even. Thats all it is.

[miketheday]

With all due respect. ME, sucked into spin? LMAO!

You're either in an uninformed state of denial or really really naieve.

You dislike Bill Clinton because he got a BJ from a fat chick in the WHite House, but it's cool with you for GW Bush to start an insane war with lies that's killed 4000+ of your brothers and sisters and countless innocents?

Stop watching Faux News, it's rotting your brain.

BTW. I thot Clinton was worthless too.

[Soccer55554444]

I get frustrated when the Democrats cant look past their front nose. Al Qaeda is not the only organization that is willing and capable of killing innocent lives. They were just the first to do it to America. To ENSURE our own safety and security for the future generation, we must eliminate that threat. Guess what, we are SUCCEEDING in Iraq. If that alone is not enough to convince you. What happened when we left Afghanistan? We gave them an excuse to attack us and kill thousands of Americans.

[PoQuail]

We never left afghanistan dumbass. Before 2001, we never had a sizeable military presence there, if any.

[Soccer55554444]

Hey dumbass, maybe you should brush up on your history. We GAVE Afghanistan weapons when they were fighting the Russians. Next time, go to school BEFORE debating.

[daexion]

We armed the Taliban. Osama bin Laden never got any support from the US, and specifically never asked for any. Their support came from their own network.

BTW, Afghanistan isn't going to attack us, and the Taliban aren't going to attack us. They might continue to fight in Afghanistan though.

PoQuail is right though, before we went into Afghanistan we did not have a sizable military presence there.

[Soccer55554444]

I guess, it is how you view it. I view giving them weapons a way or supporting them. I guess it is debatable to view the other way.

[daexion]

The Taliban are not terrorists. We put them in power, and then removed them from power. This is historical fact.

Al Qaeda, when they fought the Soviets in Afganistan, were funded by their own organization. This is also historical fact.

Al Qaeda has always been plotting to attack us, and leaving Afghanistan had nothign to do with it.

These are not even debatable.

[Soccer55554444]

The Taliban are most certainly terrorists. They sent people into our country for the sole purpose of killing innocent Americans.

Al Qaeda was also supported by the US when we gave them weapons and ammunition.

When we left Afghanistan, they used that as an excuse to attack us because they felt we were "deserting" them. That is a fact.

[daexion]

Now I know you're making shit up.

[PoQuail]

Once again soccer, you are the dumbass. We NEVER had a sizeable military presence in afghanistan before 2001. The only americans that were there during the Soviet invasian were CIA officers, who were hiding amongst the populace. The american weapons that they recieved were most likely sent through Pakistan.

[onry14]

leaving iraq now will undo ALL THE GOOD THAT US DID IN IRAQ?!! hhh, funny sh*t. what good did usa make in iraq? it was better off with saddam. everyday hundreds die. is that some thing to be proud of you AMERICANS? did you guys achieve your goal and got ALL THE OIL AND FU**KED UP THE ECONOMY. well done guys.

the stupidest ppl on earth are AMERICANS. GOODBYE

[ButlerMoz]

It's so easy to point, isn't it?

Your generality and humdrum comprehension of the topic at hand makes me chuckle giddily.

Was Iraq a shit-tastic move? YES

Is intellectually banishing a population of over 300 million people justified? NO

Is my tirade on your comment completely flamboyant and unnecessary? YES (your probably just some kid trying to contradict mother or THE MACHINE, OMG!!)

I could end with some generalization on your country: But your a annoying prick, not your compatriots.

[onry14]

"Is my tirade on your comment completely flamboyant and unnecessary? YES (your probably just some kid trying to contradict mother or THE MACHINE, OMG!!)"

egotistic or may be Conceited, well, its the same, u r just another AMERICAN who think they are always right. and ur ignorant comment doesnt have a point, YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO INSULT ME.

[onry14]

americans not justified? of course they are not, you know why? b/c at first they thought they could take over Iraq and get oil for free and fill up thier cars for only 20 cents a gollon. it came hard on your face ha? its 5$ a gallon.

[onry14]

we IRAQIS saw that coming, but americans were sleeping on clouds. they voted for Bush he did what they want. AND NOW YOU americans REGRET IT. you would be satisfied if the gas was less than a dollar. and could care less about the ppl who are dying in Iraq, B/C of US. you got what you wanted why would u care. but surprisingly for Americans, the outcome was the opposite.

r u really 28, coz ur comment ... nevermind

go back to dreaming son.

[ButlerMoz]

You're Iraqi? I'm sorry then man, I sincerely apologize, no sarcasm or wit intended. I thought you were just some rich american teenager, with no sense of the world, joining in on the "I hate America for no reason" band wagon (its quite popular over here). But you're Iraqi, and your distaste for my country and myself is completely understandable and justified, our leaders fucked up incredibly, and we fucked up incredibly for being so gullible after 911.

Although it is worthless, I apologize.

[evanlove83]

sorry2

[z1freerider]

Dude, iraq was a mess long before we got there. Hussein? Sectarian violence? Check. Check.

[sixuglyppl]

nah, we didnt get into iraq for oil...

we went in there because we needed to take out saddam hussein, and we did, and atm, no matter what angry liberal douchebags say, were improving their country, we were asked to help them by the iraqi people. before you go and slam the greatest country on earth, and eys we damn right are the greatest coutnry on earth, use ur head.

[SharpieWoW]

agree strongly

[kahnicles]

shit dude, either you love the spin or you gullible as fuck.

EN

GAGE

BRAIN

[onry14]

hhh, you didnt get into iraq for oil...yeah right.. take out saddam hussein? hmm, americans really reaaaaaly suck in matters of politicians, you know SADDAM is one of the members of AMERICAN TEAM. yes he is, all iraqis know this. all iraqis know his story. you are improving my country? oh yeah, tell me how? what has improved since then? NOTHING. greatest country on earth, hmm i agree, but what is happening to THE GREATEST COUNTRY after stealing oil?

[z1freerider]

3,100 schools have been renovated since Hussein left... do some research...you'll actually find a lot of good things happening that the media doesn't report.

[onry14]

how about 3,100 iraqis die everyday

do some research smart ass.

[z1freerider]

Who killed those Iraqis?

[onry14]

look who is talking about stuff not showing on the media...hhh..dude you are just another loser...i have A LOT of relatives and friends in iraq so there is no need for media to tell me how is iraq doing. next time talk about something you know better...so you dont get smacked hard in your face. GOOD BYE

[onry14]

and hey, i live in us. all i see is homeless ppl. and if not homeless then some losers who are crying b/c they broke up with thier gf. all we hear in us is gang, sex, beer...YOU GUYS HAVE NO LIFE..

[skywalker0024]

Amen.

[z1freerider]

So why did I see all those Iraqis happily destroying Saddam's statue?

[awaken69]

did you? have you been there? ah.. it was shown in TV, right? everyone knows that this was a stages scene, fool. google "saddam statue staged" so you can learn and get informed (finally).

[z1freerider]

I can apply the same logic to you. It's on the internet, it must be true!!1! So it must have been hard for them to execute their beloved dictator.

[awaken69]

dream on... quote: "July 3,2004 -- An internal Army study of the war in Iraq has confirmed that the infamous toppling of the statue of Saddam Hussein in Firdos Square in central Baghdad on April 9, 2003 was stage-managed by American troops and not a spontaneous reaction by Iraqis. According to the study, a Marine colonel first decided to topple the statue, and an Army psychological operations unit turned the event into a propaganda moment."

[z1freerider]

Ok, fine. But are you suggesting that the kurds and shia would would prefer having Saddam around? Because obviously they didn't want to topple over the statue...they were forced to by the americans.

[awaken69]

dude, please... there are dozens of dictators still in power that are even worse than (former US supported) saddam ever was. it's not about removing a dictator - it's about invading a sovereign country for false claims and obvious lies. for this, the US has lost 99.9% of credibility and respect in the rest of the world.. who respects a country who is behaving even worse than the regimes it wants to fight?? you cant't even take care of the people in your own country! very sad..

[z1freerider]

Red Herring. But are you suggesting that the kurds and shia would would prefer having Saddam around?

[onry14]

you americans are really brain washed

[podcastbard]

if we don't leave Iraq the right way, all the good we did would be undone. getting out of Iraq will be even harder then getting in.

[JFShea10]

thats what she said

[dobtoronto]

it would be a shame to undo all the good

[ButlerMoz]

What's the title of the music, I love this particular electronica instrumental piece.

All I can say about Iraq is that I am ignorant and complacent. So much noise, so much fear, and so many perceptions can do that to you.

[MidiPunk]

This little lesson in cross-cultural interaction is only as wasted as you allow it to be.

[pceasysf]

Billions of dollars wasted. Now we are rebuilding that country while our infrastucture crumbles and we have no money to fix it! Vote Mccain, he wants to stay forever!!!

[amfanman]

Awesome vid.  Thanks.

[EastVillKat]

Hmm... title and sidebar talk Webbys, but the video is all about Iraq... Have I just been iRaqRolled by Rocketboom?

Which is fine... but I'd really like to see the URL's for the sites in the video in the sidebar!

[ROCKETBOOM]

Not sure what happened there, must of been operator error on our end. Webby video is up on our site, and will be up on our YT site in just an hour or so.
