Wow, I was watching a few of these videos to gain a better understanding of both point-of-views as far as the US occupation is concerned, and all I see is a multitude of misogynistic comments regarding the news anchor. Shame on you all, grow the F*** up and stop thinking with your testicles.
I love it how she acts serious and dignified, while she knows perfectly well that everyone watching and even the interviewee and the camera crew are all interested ONLY in her pussy
Al Jazeera has a reputation for being very biased against the West. I was disappointed to hear the kind of leading questions that indicate both an unwillingness to acknowledge the simple facts of the situation and a desire to create as much room for distortion and sensationalism as possible.
Zebari totally dropped the ball. He should have been prepared for those questions so he could hand her her ass. He played defense the whole time.
First of all I just said she was beautiful. There is no need for the immature stereotyping. She has not had a nose job, I should know, I am her cousin. Shame on you, for your putting your ugly personality on here. I sense a bit of Jealousy and bitterness. Why what is wrong with your looks???????????
SCREW YOU... We send our blood, lives, and money to secure your country and you give us demands? We should have let Iran take you out, than nuke the hole area for morbid!
@TheRosettaStoned the usa should bombs all muslims for 9/11? really? how stupid are you? let me guess, you barely made it through high school? i mean.. wow! your country has alot of intellectuals but you're not one of them. i think you should let them do the talking because they make you guys look... not retarted.
@LaMambaNegra89 learn what you are talking about. The muslime are the devil and should be eradicated. Lets hope one day they wipe ALL the muslime off the face of the Earth
why do we waste american money and american lives on these fucking sand niggers is beyond me... nuke those fucking pieces of shit and build the iraqi pipeline straight to florida already
Over 2 Million Iraqi people were slaughtered in these 6 yrs as a direct result of the USAggression.
Millions more died and dying of war related affliction. 5 Million Iraqi fled for their lives to survive in foriegn nations.
USAgression targeted Iraq's infrastructure for corporate takeover. Killed Iraqi Workers, Engineers, Farmers, Teachers. replaced them with it's own corporations via 130,000 armed civilian mercenaries(colonists), & US Forces
The lady asks too many questions at a time and doesn't give a chance to the guest to responce! She keeps throwing new questions as if, it's a competition show of "how many questions per minute can you ask?" ...lol
The strict way of life under the Iraqi government was in order to defend the nation against a real threat of foriegn aggression. Having to live under strict laws, insured safety against Western sabotage ..But they didnt expect that the US would stoop to False-Flag Attacking itself to lay blame upon them * via all Arabs/Muslims in general, in order to ultimately invade Iraq
* "Terrorism" is a RED HERRING. There are aggressive groups & individuals in every nation. "Render to Caesar" Disrespect.
@kayaksta you wouldn't say that if you'd seen her naked, waking up next to you in the morning without make up - but who cares, if you see her in that situation it means you have already @#%! her - so ... :D .... fap fap fap
@kayaksta Ghida has all the skills of an exquisite interviewer, pays attention and seems to be very well prepared, can be both soft and strong, while all the while giving the distinct impression she has a great deal of knowledge and at times empathy with both the interviewed and subject. Of course her looks are stunning and her voice tone and facial expression never giver her away as playing on this.
So yes this lady is the most beautiful woman I have yet seen, for all these reasons.
oh shut up you propagandist. 2 million? prove it! we all know that's a bunch of crap. The americans have killed civilians in war but no way on earth anywhere near even 10 thousand civilian deaths let alone 2 million. get your facts straight
All you commenters who feeding the flames of RACISM are behind the Corrupt Genocidal Thieves, wheather you know it or not. That's how they DIVIDE AND CONQUER we the MIGHTY PEOPLE of the world. That's how they were able to win in IRAQ. That's how they were able to get everything they ever got in life.
Without DIVIDE AND CONQUER, the corporate murderers would instantly be hung by the necks where they truly belong.
Wow...she is so gorgeous. I didn't realize how beautiful muslim women really are....DAMN!! I was shocked about East Indian women as well. I recenly saw some that looked like they could be Italian or Meditteranean...anyway they are beautiful.
Yes I am, lets email each other and talk some more. Wow, something about muslim women......very beautiful. So lamia1406 do you know what her nationality is?.
For the life of me I can't follow the conversation very well because this chick is just so damn hot. Is this the reason why muslim women have to wear a hijab??. So is this chick lebanese, iranian, pakistani, kuwaiti, Egyptian......my god please tell me!!.
Would U.S. place nuclear weapons on Iraqi territory? Why is she asking such a rediculous question? I'll tell you why.... it's the same thing Arab dictatorships have done to stay in power; propaganda, lies, and scare tactics.
This woman might be articulate and have a pretty face with an proper English accent, but my God. What a propaganda tool.
"Isn't that a major issue of sovereignty".... He is explaining that Iraq will control it's own airspace went it is able too.
Such hatred for the U.S. blinds this women to such facts. Americans do not want to 'control' Iraqis. We would never allow that. Propaganda reporting prevents most Arabs from understanding that fact. Arabs also need to understand that the new Iraqi government is a welcome sight to the overwhelming majority of Iraqis compared to Saddam and his henchmen.
Who owns Al Jazeera? If the Illumina ti can buy up big media corporations in the states as suggested, maybe this could be bought too! All those contacts on the files and inside info are worth a lot of money. Big Money has been buying up the press in every country.
"Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets."
He is the cleverest man in Iraq without him all Iraqi politicians are stupid like Husni Mubark cannot manage a primary school rather than a country, so time to learn how to do work not to say say words on youube only
The point of this group is to get Americans to listen to the Arab side of things. This is much more likely to happen with a good-looking, well-spoken Arab woman with a sexy British accent. We associate broken English with a heavy Middle Eastern accents as irrational "terrorist" people, much like the rest of the world sees people with a country accent as stupid, regardless of how intelligent they really are.
LMAO@the camera man's dramatization of angles. "The close in shot" (5:50-6:00)
Anyways what you have to realize is that news outlets like these also push the large networks to be more controversial and truthful in reporting so it is a somewhat symbiotic relationship.
Interesting - at about the 5:30 mark, she's asking why Iraq would negotiate with the country that invaded it, then at about the six minute mark, she's asking about the negative implications of a swift withdrawal of US troops.
Within a minute she's concerned about the country that invaded Iraq while also being concerned that the country she is concerned about might leave too early.
If the invasion was such a concern, why would there be any concern about the US having a "swift withdrawal"?
She was breaking his balls a little about sovereignty and air space which was kind of stupid. Iraq isn't far enough along yet to make tactical air assaults on insurgents, so of course the U.S. should have that ability until Iraq gets a functional aerial military program in place.
She is excellent! She is exactly what a journalist should be-she asks exactly what she wants and gets to the bottom of it. She owns the interview-all while remaining cool and collected.
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN NEEDS REPORTERS EXACTLY LIKE THIS LADY TO ASK QUESTIONS DIRECTLY TO THE POINT TO OUR OWN GOVERNMENT! This lady makes USA reporters look like idiots, ok well makes them look more like conspiritors for government instead of idiots.
The world and governments need to be looked at under a microscope! They are causing more problems than solutions. Its time more reporters ask questions like this! Break the langauge, settle for nothing less! Walk away with understanding
Your not from the U.S I assume? I being a citizen of this country will explain it to you as simply as I can.
Reporters here are the Property of Corporations. They would not be allowed to ask questions that are not scripted for them. If I was offensive in my statement I'm sorry
Persistent, never give up, keep asking the similar question until the guys has nowhere to hide.
I wish I could see Rita interviewing Sarah Palin before the election. That would be the real Battle Royal between the queen of ducking question and the queen of persistent journalism.
And who, pray tell, might the Iraqis need to be defended against? Could it be the country that invaded them in the first place? What sense does it make for the very nation that posed and carried out the invasion and occupation to be the ones now seemingly so concerned with defending Iraq? Seems to me the Iraqis need primarily and most importantly to be trained how to defend themselves against none other than US aggression and occupation.
Does that include US Contractors? Or more lip service? Shes asking all the right questions but we've been lied to EVERYTIME THE POWER STRUCTURE OPENS THEIR MOUTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even Saddam had Shias/Christians on his political team and no one new or cared what they were, the only thing that mattered in Saddam's time was that they were ''Baath party'' (secular Arab nationalists) I'm not saying it was good, I'm just saying that he was not sectarian. Saddam didn't discriminate, he killed anyone who opposed him, Shias Sunnis and Kurds. MAYBE there were slight tensions, but the Yanks took advantage of it because they thought it would help their occupation.
Shame the whole interview was not broadcast as much of it concened Barak Obamas assurances to the Iraqi foreign minister that there would be NO shock surprises or changes in his Iraq policy and that his and McCains strategy would essentially be the same. What Senator Obama is telling the liberal retards in the US is not what he is telling the Iraqis, Al-hum-dil-allah
this liar doesnot represent iraq he doesnot even represent the kurds of iraq just the few elite that are stealing the wealth of iraq, the day will come when he will have to go back home to britian,hopefully soon
This stupid bitch, I'm Iraqi and if she asked me those stupid ass irrelavent questions I would have smacked her. Freaking brainwashed bitch. Also she looked like frankenstiens' shit before she got plastic surgery.
This is what a real news interview looks like. Those are what real questions sound like. That is how a politician looks when a journalist is asking serious questions about the most serious issues instead of the make-out sessions aired on ABCNNBCBS and FOX.
The only reason he is speaking like this is, is because this person is a Kurd, and there are no American Bases in the Kurdish Area of Iraq only about 200 american soldiers, He wants to support this agreement so the americans will have bases in Sunni, and Shia Parts of Iraq and so that He and the Kurds won't feel threatened by the shia or the Sunni arabs. They had made this agreement along time ago to make Kurdistan Sovergien or Partially.
A foreign minister is asked: who will pay for the americans to have permanent bases in Iraq and his response was " I THINK ITS THE AMERICANS" !!
you THINK?? you guess? while your people are getting massacred and you keep guessing and you keep repeating ok? ok? ok? after each statement like leave me the heck alone I am just a tool I dont know shit I do what I am told to do and i dont give a fat fart
this gentleman was chosen by the (Americans) to be the "new" Iraqi foreign minister based on what they consider an eminence in character, looks, experience, knowledge .. etc, however the way he approaches with his speech does kind of look like someone who is negotiating a good deal at the foot locker store, he looks like he is being brought to confess after detention session in an elementary school for his trouble making
What are Americans doing in other countries? What business do they have there if not THEFT of natural resources?
Americans: you are not going to live forever. Whatever God you are believing in, he will punish you but then.. you believe your own lies... how stupid can you be?
Ghida might not be granted any more interviews after this, but her gutsy, in-your-face approach is the only real way to arrive at the truth. Sadly, I can't say the same for all Al Jazeera hosts.
This guy needs to die, or go back to Arbil. F*ck all Iraqi collaborators, we, the people, will prevail! I blame scum bags like this guy for the current destruction of Iraq and the slow annihilation of it's civilian population, it's evil motherf*ckers like this guy who put their own personal interests before that of the nation. Everyone knows that as long as there is even one US soldier left in Iraq there will not be any peace. THE US MUST LEAVE, FOR THE SAKE OF IRAQ AND AMERICA AS WELL.
You see what he says, " Iraqi's won't be used to attack neighbors for the U.S. " it doesn't say the U.S. won't attack anyone, she did a good job on this.
This " Foreign " guy doesn't get it, The bases in the area is what motivates the attacks, nothing more nothing less.
She did an excellent job by getting at this guy, good job Ghida.
THIS GUY IS A KURD, THAT'S WHY HE SUPPORTS THE PERMANENT OCCUPATION!! WATCH THIS:
watch?v=j-ztPVOwbso
all Iraqis want US troops out, all Americans want US troops home! F*ck warmongers and stupid propagandists like this guy and the ones on the American side, POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!
This a good example of secterianism. Kurds are Iraqis too!
Actually not all Iraqis want the US troops out ASAP. You will find good proportion want them to stay until the country is stable. Warmongers? Who's the one suicide bombing, kidnapping and beheading innocent civilians? One clue, its not the Americans....
Sorry, I don't share this idiotic way of thinking. I know there are suicide bombings and kidnappings in Iraq, I don't need you to remind me, but there are also crimes and killings committed by your glorious soldiers, just because one group is bad doesn't mean we should ignore the other. Why do you Americans always have to stick your noses in other people's business? Just piss off and leave, 70% of Iraqis want you out, it's the majority that counts not the few who want your dirty as*es to stay.
I guess you're not very familiar with today's Iraq, see there are many militias/warmongers in Iraq, not just one, the US army is just another one of them. I want them ALL OUT, so obviously to you warmongering Americans I am asking you to pull out your militia, and when I talk to a Saudi guy I'll ask him to stop funding al qaeda and sending terrorists to blow up civilians etc. You worry about the murderers you sent to Iraq and we'll worry about the rest.
Again, you're too simple, I didn't say they're ONLY there to kill civlians, no no, they have other tasks like helping pump the oil, defending the American Fort Embassy in Baghdad, defending the Green Zone government in Baghdad etc.
So you are suggesting that part of their goal in Iraq is to kill innocent civilians?
Well i know for a fact that the majority of Iraqis do not want their country to turn into another Rhawanda for one.
Anyway, what i am trying to differentiate is that these secterain malitias and al qaeda are there for the reason of murdering innocent civilians simply because they are of different religion. You cannot say the same to the US troops!
"different justifications for committing the crimes/murders they commit"
You don't know what you're talking about, the US has been following one war crime with another in Iraq, why should we accept this any more than we accept the terror attacks against civilian targets? Even terrorists probably justify killing civilians with other goals and reasons that doesn't make it right. The US army used depleted Uranium in Iraq, how is this OKay?
These malitias may have different justifications, however, they all kill innocent civilians INTENTIONALY. Killing someone intentionaly is not morally equivalent to killing someone by accident.
Like I said, the US army has committed war crimes but i highly doubt they committed it for the main purpose of killing innocent civilians. That cannot be said to the malitias who would kill just about anyone they dont like.
It's easy for you to defend them,it's not your country being destroyed. And btw, do you agree that the US (at least initially) tried purposfully to divide and separate the different groups (Shias, Sunnis, Kurds) to make it easier for them to occupy Iraq? Do you deny this? and did you know that 2 British men (special ops.) were caught in Basrah years ago doing just that? The only difference between the US army and the other militias is that the US is better equipped and better able to kill
You view the militias as something separate from the US invasion/occupation, I view them as a product of the occupation. If the US really wanted it could have prevented this, when they came to Iraq they didn't say: Okay you are Iraqis, we are Americans, let's talk. They said ''You're Shia, you're Sunni, we're Americans, let's talk.''
They wanted this, there is no way that the US didn't have a role in the sectarian rifts, it wasn't like that before so they must have something to do with it, my own parents are Shia/Sunni. I don't know why you view the US government and army in Iraq as a poor irrelevant party, they control everything for f*ck sake, they were the government for the first year, Iraq was officially under the control of an American general, they wanted Iraqis to fight each other so that no one fights them (the US)
A product of occupation? You think that secterianism never existed prior to the fall of the Baath regime? Wasnt it the case that Saddam deliberately oppressed the Shi'ites aswell as other minority groups during his brutal reign? Wasnt it the case that Saddams Sunni Baathist faction massacered 130,000 Shi'ites in 1991 after a failed uprising? This current secterianism is a result of more than 20 years of fascism under a sadistic gangster!
Nope, everything that happened after the invasion is the responsibility of the US, as an occupying power, this is not according to me, this is according to international law, but I guess Yanks don't think that international law applies to them, they're too good for that right lol. Soon we're going to say goodbye to the occupying army, and if you don't leave willingly then we'll just have to keep making it as costly as possible for you warmongering terrorist criminals to stay. LONG LIVE IRAQ
Now you are just being silly and stupid. Didnt I just explain to you that secterianism existed prior to the fall of Saddams regime? This before any US troop set foot in Iraq.
I agree, long live Iraq, long live a secular liberal democratic Iraq, free from secterianism, free from theocracy!
"I agree, long live Iraq, long live a secular liberal democratic Iraq, free from secterianism, free from theocracy!" But the current goevrnment in Baghdad is sectarian and theocratic, that's why they're best friends with the Iranian government!! And both the PM and president of Iraq came from IRAN in 2003?!?! wtf. But anyway, I'm not saying I was against kicking Saddam's butt, I'm just against the occupation now, they must leave!
If the current Iraqi government is secterian, then why does the government encourages Kurdish, Sunni Arab, and Shia Arab parties to take part? Also, calling the government "theocratic" really makes me doubt what you know about the current Iraq! We have here an Iraqi president (Jalal Talabani) who is the head of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, a secular party who happens to be a member of Socialist International!
Lol, you're funny, it is sectarian for the exact reason you mentioned, there are Sunni/Shia/Kurdish groups, they're not IRAQI groups, they are Sunni/Shia/Kurds. This kind of system is what has been causing tensions in Lebanon ever since it was created, and if you really think that the new government of Iraq is secular then you have no idea what you're talking about (And you dont)
Kurdistan's parties are secular but the rest of Iraq are ruled by Clerics, the ruling DAWA party is an Islamic party allied with Iran, it was actually founded IN Iran. Why don't you stick to US politics, you know nothing about the middle east.
Trust me, I know of these "god's" parties trying to take Iraq back to barbarianism. But their strong presence in the government hardly makes Iraq a theocracy as you claim. Is Iraq's constitution based on a religious book? Is the head of the Iraq government a deity? So again, is Iraq a theocracy?
Well it's not a theocracy like Iran or Saudi Arabia, but it's not a liberal democracy either. And the US should have been trying to promote secular and nationalistic parties from the beginning, and don't tell me the US had nothing to do with it, they crossed oceans just to change the regime in Baghdad! There is no way, after all the trouble they went through, that they didn't have a hand in selecting the new regime, a lot of blood shed could have been avoided if the US simply ignored al-Sistani
and banned religious parties from running in the elections, but the US had no interest in that because ''divide and rule'' was their plan all a long. I know immediate withdrawal is probably crazy because Iraqis are not done killing each other yet, but I think the sooner the US leaves (And they're going to have to leave eventually when they run out of money) the less damage it will cause, so they might as well just leave now.
Was it not the case that the US have always back, prior to the intervention, the secular Kurds? The Kurds could have easily have said they wanted no part in Iraq and requested their own state, but they choose to be part of Iraq.
I agree, all religious parties should be banned. But in reality, this is just not possible in Iraq. Secularism must be a pre-requirement before democracy.
Hang on, you accept the fact that immediate withdrawal is crazy but you believe that they should do it anyway?
"Hang on, you accept the fact that immediate withdrawal is crazy but you believe that they should do it anyway?" I'm just picking the ''least worst option'' because there is no 'good' option for Iraq today, and US troops are gonna have to leave eventually.
I never said that current Iraq was a liberal democracy. But this is part of the reason why I support and will always support the intervention. The intervention made it possible for Iraq to now have a genuine chance for a liberal democracy. This was simply not possible under Saddams reign.
That's why I'm wondering why the US didn't let the Iraqis themselves get rid of him...? As i said, history matters A LOT, we can't just ignore it. The fact that the US tried to prevent the ousting of Saddam means that they don't support democracy in Iraq, maybe they've changed their plans now but I doubt it. I don't trust the United States government.
MementoExpose I think you might find that the many Iraqis believed the U.S. wanted him there. This is true in many 3rd world countries they do what the U.S. wants
Of course the main parties are along secterian lines, but what do you expect after Saddams reign? What the Iraqi government is trying to achieve is to break through the secterian barrier to form a nation unity government. Hence why its been encourage that all the secterian groups join in. In my opinion, it is the best way to achieve better discusion which then lead to better understanding between the groups.
The best thing to do is to ban all religious parties, anything with the word ''Islamic'' in it must be banned, but sadly those are the people the US occupation is allied with, and also, a large ground force must be mobilized to secure the border with Syria, where most of the terrorists come from.And I told you- Saddam was not sectarian, everyone knows this (all Iraqis know this) Saddam and all the Baath party were anti-religion, Saddam had Shias,Christians and even Kurds in his cursed government
The reason Saddam is hated is not because he was sectarian, it's because he was ruthless, if Sunnis ever tried to rebel against him then they would have been treated the same way the Kurds and Shias were when they rebelled, but the Sunnis never did rebel in that wide scale manner, a few people did try to over throw him, including my grandpa (who was a Sunni- but at that time that didn't matter.) Anyway, the security pact must be rejected and the occupation has to end, end of story.
No, i do not believe the US were deliberately causing secterianism. The two British SAS unfortunately shot and killed an Iraqi policeman while undercover. They were, however, not purposely trying to cause secterianism as you claimed.
You missed another big difference between the two; the malitias motives involves the INTENTIONAL killing of innocent civilians, while not the same can be said in regard with the US motive.
then why did the British army break into the prison in Basrah to free the 2 undercover men? if the so called ''government'' that the US put in Iraq can have it's prisons literally broken into by the occupying army, then there's nothing else we need to discuss, you invaded Iraq, you didn't have a post-war policy, you committed war crimes, you humiliated Iraqis with your torture photos, that makes it your fault, no matter how much you keep trying to convince yourself that it's not.
Well, was it not the case that the police station ignored DIRECT orders from the Iraqi government to release the two SAS men, giving the suspicion that the station has been infiltrated?
O yea, another difference between the US army and your so called "resistance" (so much for a risistance that has a motive of killing innocent civilians!) is that those who generally do horrible things get punished and put on trial in the US side, while praised in the "resistance" side.
all the members of those american soldiers who killed 24 iraqi civilians in haditah were freed no one has been charged, and the only 2 people have been charged for the abu ghraib prison scandal. they never charged those soldiers and MPs there who raped Iraqi women and sodomized them or those female soldiers who sodomized Iraq men and boys, so dont fucking tell me that you punish criminas, you pile of filth
Dude when the f*ck did I say anything about 'resistance' or supporting it? you're just f*cking slow that's all, I already told you, the militias/resistance/US army/al qaeda/terrorists are all two sides of the same coin, you just can't seem to understand that I don't support ANY of the militias (including the occupation army) in Iraq, maybe you want me to support the so called 'resistance'- is that it? Because I think I've made it pretty clear what i think about those militias.
Here we go again with your juxtuposition of the US army and the malitias/al qaeda as somehow moral equivalents! For the last time, militias/al qaeda - there to INTENTIONALLY kill innocent civillians; US Army - NOT there to intentionally kill innocent civillians! Hence why they are not all part of the same coin.
Go on, be proud of your "resistance" who have just car bombed another 51 innocent Iraqis is Baghdad last tuesday! You are probobly enjoying it yourself. Anything is good as long as it is fighting US "imperialism".
Which resistance? Did I say I supported those people? and that had nothing to do with resistance, it was some land owner who wasn't happy with Sunnis resettling in his neighborhood because he was going to make less profits so he thought he should stir up tensions again, but why do you keep brining up the terrorists? I told you that when I talk to US army supporters I speak out against their terrorists (the US army) and when I talk to a Saudi or crazy Muslim guy I speak out against terrorists
So then, who will stop a Rhwanda type of secterian genocide if the US troops leaves Iraq now? You will be deluded to think that the militias will just give up their murderous ways once the US troops go. Like i said, these secterian violence are caused by events BEFORE the intervention.
Really, have you been to Iraq before 2003? Dude, I used to live there. I swear to God- I'm not joking- my Mom didn't know that she was a Shia! You're just defending the Yanks because you think that's ''your side'', I told you, I have international law on my side, you don't, they Yanks invaded, they tried to 'divide and rule', they created a sectarian government, no amount of whining is going to change that fact.
Well, just because you've turned a bind eye to the secterian massacres being carried before 2003, it doesnt mean it did not happen! How many shia's and kurd's did the Sunni Baathist party kill?
dude wtf is wrong with you, did you not read what I said? They were killed because they rebelled not because they were Shias and Kurds, if the Sunnis had rebelled in a large scale manner in that way then they would have been butchered as well. Saddam tortured and killed people from all sects in Iraq, he didn't discriminate, you're just a slow Brit that's why I have to keep repeating everything a 100 times before you get it
If you look at the massacres of the Kurds and Shia's, you will find that the huge majority of them are just innocent people, murdered because they happen to be either Shia or Kurdish! He didnt discriminate? How about his genocide in Halabja? Was it not Saddam's idea was to kill as many Kurds as he can? Stop defending him!
According to International law,when an act of aggression is carried out by one nation against another(in this case- the initial invasion of Iraq)then everything that results from act of aggression(in this case-everything that happened in Iraq after 2003) is the responsibility of the aggressor(in this case-the United States & Britain.) Aggressors don't have rights,they have responsibilities but no rights. It's called the Nuremberg Principles. I'm just following your standards & laws,I accept them
Who is the agressor? Who invaded neighboring countries for the soul purpose of anexing? Who committedd genocide against his fellow country men? Who supported and sheltered internation terrorists? Who used WMDs against his enemies? Its crazy that you believe that Saddam's Iraq was somehow a peaceful state!
Yes, the US have the responsibility, hence why i believe they shouldnt get out of Iraq until the country is stable.
When did I said that it was a peaceful state?! Saddam always wanted war, but he was always supported by the US esp. during the Iran-Iraq war. no one in Iraq trusts the US because of that. Even when Saddam was committing mass murder and genocide he was still receiving support from the US. Why do you want me to ignore this and just look at after 2003? History matters, history lets you predict the future. The history of the US shows that it is not interested in peace in the Middle East.
Yes, he was evil. But the country would not have backed an invasion for the sole purpose of getting rid of him. Bush had to lie and make up a reason like an imminent attack by "WMD" that were found. No, those pre-Gulf War sarin and mustard gas canisters don't count.
I just have one question for you, which I've never been able to get an answer for from any American propagandist before, if the US is so noble in it's cause and cares so much about human life and dignity, if they really care so much about people in Iraq being oppressed by Saddam, then why the hell did the US (and France) support Saddam when he was committing some of his worst atrocities?
You know, Saddam had permission from the US to crush the Shia rebellion in the brutal way that he did, he had permission- and even US supplied WMDS (chemical weapons) to kill Iranians in the Iran-Iraq war, where does that fit in your America-Is-A Noble-Nation theory? How are you going to explain that now? Or is an evil done by the or with the blessing of the US a good evil, and evil done without it is evil evil? Lol.
Yeah, my as*. It would have been the right thing if it was done under the presidency of a normal president not a dumb retard like Bush who had no idea what to do next, if it wasn't for the ''surge'' then Iraq wouldn't even exist today that's how badly it was going.
I never denied that the US, along with Russia, China, the UK, and France; were indirectly responsible for some of Saddams crimes and were wrong for what they did. But because they (the US and UK) were wrong then, it doesnt mean they are wrong now. For example, the British empire was once fighting a naval battle to keep the slave trade running. However, the same empire, centuries later, fought another naval battle to eliminate slave trade. They were wrong in the former but were right on the later
Saddam would have been overthrown right after the Gulf War if it wasn't for those criminals and thugs in the White House, but that would have meant allowing the Iraqi people to pick their own government, that would have meant missing the chance to invade Iraq more than 10 years later and having the chance to sign an agreement like this one, so of course the honorable US couldn't allow it. Here, one of their own admitting this:
I agree, i also believe that the US should have gotten rid of Saddam then. But that was not the case. I see the invervention in 2003 as a posponed one, but its better late than never!
Also, was it not the case that a bulk of the American imperialist right, the Kissinger hawks, always supported non intervention? Was it not the case that they were against intervention in 2003?
Of course, there are rogue elements within the American army that are commiting crimes and should be punished. However, the majority are doing a good job.
So according to your logic, American troops are morally equivalent to suicide bombers and secterian murderers?
Without the American troops, these religious fascists and secterian malitias will turn Iraq into another Rhawanda. Allot, of Iraqis know this.
Don't tell me what all Iraqis know, you don't know what Iraqis want. I never said the US army was morally equivalent to other militias in Iraq, all militias are different from each other, they have different sources of funding, different goals, different justifications for committing the crimes/murders they commit, and usually different religions and backgrounds, so they're very different, but also the same.
Go look at what your army did in Fallujah, Najaf and Karbalah then come talk, your glorious army turned those cities to ghost towns, and you're here to lecture me about morality? The American army used chemical weapons on the civlian populations of those cities because they refused to surrender, just like the MONGOL army, barbarians, we will never forget.
For the record, im not an American. In regards with those cities, wasnt it the case that religous fascists and various murdering malitias have taken over control, imposing their own rule?
Of course, certain elements of the US army perhaps have commit war crimes and should be punished. However, this doesnt impeach the the original justification of removing these fascists from control.
Obama is not going to withdraw troops, that's a lie. He said Combat troops which are about 40 to 60,000 troops ( Pre-Surge amount ) which is just b.s. That does nothing to change anything. He is a globalist ( Part of the CFR ) so he has a vested interest in having a presence there.
THIS GUY IS A KURD, THAT'S WHY HE SUPPORTS THE PERMANENT OCCUPATION!! WATCH THIS:

Al Jazeera has a reputation for being very biased against the West. I was disappointed to hear the kind of leading questions that indicate both an unwillingness to acknowledge the simple facts of the situation and a desire to create as much room for distortion and sensationalism as possible.
Zebari totally dropped the ball. He should have been prepared for those questions so he could hand her her ass. He played defense the whole time.

Interesting - at about the 5:30 mark, she's asking why Iraq would negotiate with the country that invaded it, then at about the six minute mark, she's asking about the negative implications of a swift withdrawal of US troops.
Within a minute she's concerned about the country that invaded Iraq while also being concerned that the country she is concerned about might leave too early.
If the invasion was such a concern, why would there be any concern about the US having a "swift withdrawal"?

She was breaking his balls a little about sovereignty and air space which was kind of stupid. Iraq isn't far enough along yet to make tactical air assaults on insurgents, so of course the U.S. should have that ability until Iraq gets a functional aerial military program in place.

And who, pray tell, might the Iraqis need to be defended against? Could it be the country that invaded them in the first place? What sense does it make for the very nation that posed and carried out the invasion and occupation to be the ones now seemingly so concerned with defending Iraq? Seems to me the Iraqis need primarily and most importantly to be trained how to defend themselves against none other than US aggression and occupation.

Even Saddam had Shias/Christians on his political team and no one new or cared what they were, the only thing that mattered in Saddam's time was that they were ''Baath party'' (secular Arab nationalists) I'm not saying it was good, I'm just saying that he was not sectarian. Saddam didn't discriminate, he killed anyone who opposed him, Shias Sunnis and Kurds. MAYBE there were slight tensions, but the Yanks took advantage of it because they thought it would help their occupation.

I guess you're not very familiar with today's Iraq, see there are many militias/warmongers in Iraq, not just one, the US army is just another one of them. I want them ALL OUT, so obviously to you warmongering Americans I am asking you to pull out your militia, and when I talk to a Saudi guy I'll ask him to stop funding al qaeda and sending terrorists to blow up civilians etc. You worry about the murderers you sent to Iraq and we'll worry about the rest.

So you are suggesting that part of their goal in Iraq is to kill innocent civilians?
Well i know for a fact that the majority of Iraqis do not want their country to turn into another Rhawanda for one.
Anyway, what i am trying to differentiate is that these secterain malitias and al qaeda are there for the reason of murdering innocent civilians simply because they are of different religion. You cannot say the same to the US troops!
Giles20 3 years ago
read what I said again.
"different justifications for committing the crimes/murders they commit"
You don't know what you're talking about, the US has been following one war crime with another in Iraq, why should we accept this any more than we accept the terror attacks against civilian targets? Even terrorists probably justify killing civilians with other goals and reasons that doesn't make it right. The US army used depleted Uranium in Iraq, how is this OKay?
MementoExpose 3 years ago
These malitias may have different justifications, however, they all kill innocent civilians INTENTIONALY. Killing someone intentionaly is not morally equivalent to killing someone by accident.
Like I said, the US army has committed war crimes but i highly doubt they committed it for the main purpose of killing innocent civilians. That cannot be said to the malitias who would kill just about anyone they dont like.
Giles20 3 years ago
It's easy for you to defend them,it's not your country being destroyed. And btw, do you agree that the US (at least initially) tried purposfully to divide and separate the different groups (Shias, Sunnis, Kurds) to make it easier for them to occupy Iraq? Do you deny this? and did you know that 2 British men (special ops.) were caught in Basrah years ago doing just that? The only difference between the US army and the other militias is that the US is better equipped and better able to kill
MementoExpose 3 years ago
You view the militias as something separate from the US invasion/occupation, I view them as a product of the occupation. If the US really wanted it could have prevented this, when they came to Iraq they didn't say: Okay you are Iraqis, we are Americans, let's talk. They said ''You're Shia, you're Sunni, we're Americans, let's talk.''
MementoExpose 3 years ago
They wanted this, there is no way that the US didn't have a role in the sectarian rifts, it wasn't like that before so they must have something to do with it, my own parents are Shia/Sunni. I don't know why you view the US government and army in Iraq as a poor irrelevant party, they control everything for f*ck sake, they were the government for the first year, Iraq was officially under the control of an American general, they wanted Iraqis to fight each other so that no one fights them (the US)

A product of occupation? You think that secterianism never existed prior to the fall of the Baath regime? Wasnt it the case that Saddam deliberately oppressed the Shi'ites aswell as other minority groups during his brutal reign? Wasnt it the case that Saddams Sunni Baathist faction massacered 130,000 Shi'ites in 1991 after a failed uprising? This current secterianism is a result of more than 20 years of fascism under a sadistic gangster!
Giles20 3 years ago
Nope, everything that happened after the invasion is the responsibility of the US, as an occupying power, this is not according to me, this is according to international law, but I guess Yanks don't think that international law applies to them, they're too good for that right lol.

This kind of system is what has been causing tensions in Lebanon ever since it was created, and if you really think that the new government of Iraq is secular then you have no idea what you're talking about (And you dont)

Kurdistan's parties are secular but the rest of Iraq are ruled by Clerics, the ruling DAWA party is an Islamic party allied with Iran, it was actually founded IN Iran. Why don't you stick to US politics, you know nothing about the middle east.

Trust me, I know of these "god's" parties trying to take Iraq back to barbarianism. But their strong presence in the government hardly makes Iraq a theocracy as you claim. Is Iraq's constitution based on a religious book? Is the head of the Iraq government a deity? So again, is Iraq a theocracy?
Giles20 3 years ago
Well it's not a theocracy like Iran or Saudi Arabia, but it's not a liberal democracy either. And the US should have been trying to promote secular and nationalistic parties from the beginning, and don't tell me the US had nothing to do with it, they crossed oceans just to change the regime in Baghdad! There is no way, after all the trouble they went through, that they didn't have a hand in selecting the new regime, a lot of blood shed could have been avoided if the US simply ignored al-Sistani

and banned religious parties from running in the elections, but the US had no interest in that because ''divide and rule'' was their plan all a long. I know immediate withdrawal is probably crazy because Iraqis are not done killing each other yet, but I think the sooner the US leaves (And they're going to have to leave eventually when they run out of money) the less damage it will cause, so they might as well just leave now.
MementoExpose 3 years ago
Was it not the case that the US have always back, prior to the intervention, the secular Kurds? The Kurds could have easily have said they wanted no part in Iraq and requested their own state, but they choose to be part of Iraq.
I agree, all religious parties should be banned. But in reality, this is just not possible in Iraq. Secularism must be a pre-requirement before democracy.
Hang on, you accept the fact that immediate withdrawal is crazy but you believe that they should do it anyway?
Giles20 3 years ago
"Hang on, you accept the fact that immediate withdrawal is crazy but you believe that they should do it anyway?" I'm just picking the ''least worst option'' because there is no 'good' option for Iraq today, and US troops are gonna have to leave eventually.

I never said that current Iraq was a liberal democracy. But this is part of the reason why I support and will always support the intervention. The intervention made it possible for Iraq to now have a genuine chance for a liberal democracy. This was simply not possible under Saddams reign.
Giles20 3 years ago
That's why I'm wondering why the US didn't let the Iraqis themselves get rid of him...? As i said, history matters A LOT, we can't just ignore it. The fact that the US tried to prevent the ousting of Saddam means that they don't support democracy in Iraq, maybe they've changed their plans now but I doubt it. I don't trust the United States government.
MementoExpose 3 years ago
MementoExpose I think you might find that the many Iraqis believed the U.S. wanted him there. This is true in many 3rd world countries they do what the U.S. wants

Of course the main parties are along secterian lines, but what do you expect after Saddams reign? What the Iraqi government is trying to achieve is to break through the secterian barrier to form a nation unity government. Hence why its been encourage that all the secterian groups join in. In my opinion, it is the best way to achieve better discusion which then lead to better understanding between the groups.
Giles20 3 years ago
The best thing to do is to ban all religious parties, anything with the word ''Islamic'' in it must be banned, but sadly those are the people the US occupation is allied with, and also, a large ground force must be mobilized to secure the border with Syria, where most of the terrorists come from.And I told you- Saddam was not sectarian, everyone knows this (all Iraqis know this) Saddam and all the Baath party were anti-religion, Saddam had Shias,Christians and even Kurds in his cursed government
MementoExpose 3 years ago
The reason Saddam is hated is not because he was sectarian, it's because he was ruthless, if Sunnis ever tried to rebel against him then they would have been treated the same way the Kurds and Shias were when they rebelled, but the Sunnis never did rebel in that wide scale manner, a few people did try to over throw him, including my grandpa (who was a Sunni- but at that time that didn't matter.) Anyway, the security pact must be rejected and the occupation has to end, end of story.
MementoExpose 3 years ago
I don't think there will be any kind of bloodshed or a massacre if the withdrawal is done carefully
MementoExpose 3 years ago
No, i do not believe the US were deliberately causing secterianism. The two British SAS unfortunately shot and killed an Iraqi policeman while undercover. They were, however, not purposely trying to cause secterianism as you claimed.
You missed another big difference between the two; the malitias motives involves the INTENTIONAL killing of innocent civilians, while not the same can be said in regard with the US motive.
Giles20 3 years ago
then why did the British army break into the prison in Basrah to free the 2 undercover men? if the so called ''government'' that the US put in Iraq can have it's prisons literally broken into by the occupying army, then there's nothing else we need to discuss, you invaded Iraq, you didn't have a post-war policy, you committed war crimes, you humiliated Iraqis with your torture photos, that makes it your fault, no matter how much you keep trying to convince yourself that it's not.
MementoExpose 3 years ago
Well, was it not the case that the police station ignored DIRECT orders from the Iraqi government to release the two SAS men, giving the suspicion that the station has been infiltrated?
O yea, another difference between the US army and your so called "resistance" (so much for a risistance that has a motive of killing innocent civilians!) is that those who generally do horrible things get punished and put on trial in the US side, while praised in the "resistance" side.
Giles20 3 years ago
all the members of those american soldiers who killed 24 iraqi civilians in haditah were freed no one has been charged, and the only 2 people have been charged for the abu ghraib prison scandal. they never charged those soldiers and MPs there who raped Iraqi women and sodomized them or those female soldiers who sodomized Iraq men and boys, so dont fucking tell me that you punish criminas, you pile of filth

Dude when the f*ck did I say anything about 'resistance' or supporting it? you're just f*cking slow that's all, I already told you, the militias/resistance/US army/al qaeda/terrorists are all two sides of the same coin, you just can't seem to understand that I don't support ANY of the militias (including the occupation army) in Iraq, maybe you want me to support the so called 'resistance'- is that it? Because I think I've made it pretty clear what i think about those militias.
MementoExpose 3 years ago
Here we go again with your juxtuposition of the US army and the malitias/al qaeda as somehow moral equivalents! For the last time, militias/al qaeda - there to INTENTIONALLY kill innocent civillians; US Army - NOT there to intentionally kill innocent civillians! Hence why they are not all part of the same coin.

Giles20 3 years ago
Which resistance? Did I say I supported those people? and that had nothing to do with resistance, it was some land owner who wasn't happy with Sunnis resettling in his neighborhood because he was going to make less profits so he thought he should stir up tensions again, but why do you keep brining up the terrorists? I told you that when I talk to US army supporters I speak out against their terrorists (the US army) and when I talk to a Saudi or crazy Muslim guy I speak out against terrorists
MementoExpose 3 years ago
So then, who will stop a Rhwanda type of secterian genocide if the US troops leaves Iraq now? You will be deluded to think that the militias will just give up their murderous ways once the US troops go. Like i said, these secterian violence are caused by events BEFORE the intervention.
Giles20 3 years ago
Really, have you been to Iraq before 2003? Dude, I used to live there. I swear to God- I'm not joking- my Mom didn't know that she was a Shia! You're just defending the Yanks because you think that's ''your side'', I told you, I have international law on my side, you don't, they Yanks invaded, they tried to 'divide and rule', they created a sectarian government, no amount of whining is going to change that fact.
MementoExpose 3 years ago
Well, just because you've turned a bind eye to the secterian massacres being carried before 2003, it doesnt mean it did not happen! How many shia's and kurd's did the Sunni Baathist party kill?
And which international law is that?
Giles20 3 years ago
dude wtf is wrong with you, did you not read what I said? They were killed because they rebelled not because they were Shias and Kurds, if the Sunnis had rebelled in a large scale manner in that way then they would have been butchered as well. Saddam tortured and killed people from all sects in Iraq, he didn't discriminate, you're just a slow Brit that's why I have to keep repeating everything a 100 times before you get it
MementoExpose 3 years ago
If you look at the massacres of the Kurds and Shia's, you will find that the huge majority of them are just innocent people, murdered because they happen to be either Shia or Kurdish! He didnt discriminate? How about his genocide in Halabja? Was it not Saddam's idea was to kill as many Kurds as he can? Stop defending him!
Giles20 3 years ago
According to International law,when an act of aggression is carried out by one nation against another(in this case- the initial invasion of Iraq)then everything that results from act of aggression(in this case-everything that happened in Iraq after 2003) is the responsibility of the aggressor(in this case-the United States & Britain.) Aggressors don't have rights,they have responsibilities but no rights. It's called the Nuremberg Principles. I'm just following your standards & laws,I accept them
MementoExpose 3 years ago
Who is the agressor? Who invaded neighboring countries for the soul purpose of anexing? Who committedd genocide against his fellow country men? Who supported and sheltered internation terrorists? Who used WMDs against his enemies? Its crazy that you believe that Saddam's Iraq was somehow a peaceful state!
Yes, the US have the responsibility, hence why i believe they shouldnt get out of Iraq until the country is stable.
Giles20 3 years ago
When did I said that it was a peaceful state?! Saddam always wanted war, but he was always supported by the US esp. during the Iran-Iraq war. no one in Iraq trusts the US because of that. Even when Saddam was committing mass murder and genocide he was still receiving support from the US. Why do you want me to ignore this and just look at after 2003? History matters, history lets you predict the future. The history of the US shows that it is not interested in peace in the Middle East.
MementoExpose 3 years ago
When did I say*
MementoExpose 3 years ago
Yes, he was evil. But the country would not have backed an invasion for the sole purpose of getting rid of him. Bush had to lie and make up a reason like an imminent attack by "WMD" that were found. No, those pre-Gulf War sarin and mustard gas canisters don't count.

I just have one question for you, which I've never been able to get an answer for from any American propagandist before, if the US is so noble in it's cause and cares so much about human life and dignity, if they really care so much about people in Iraq being oppressed by Saddam, then why the hell did the US (and France) support Saddam when he was committing some of his worst atrocities?
MementoExpose 3 years ago
You know, Saddam had permission from the US to crush the Shia rebellion in the brutal way that he did, he had permission- and even US supplied WMDS (chemical weapons) to kill Iranians in the Iran-Iraq war, where does that fit in your America-Is-A Noble-Nation theory? How are you going to explain that now? Or is an evil done by the or with the blessing of the US a good evil, and evil done without it is evil evil? Lol.
MementoExpose 3 years ago
Again, i will not defend past US wrongs. Having said that, those wrongs does not impeach the fact that they did the right thing on 2003!
Giles20 3 years ago
Yeah, my as*. It would have been the right thing if it was done under the presidency of a normal president not a dumb retard like Bush who had no idea what to do next, if it wasn't for the ''surge'' then Iraq wouldn't even exist today that's how badly it was going.
MementoExpose 3 years ago
I never denied that the US, along with Russia, China, the UK, and France; were indirectly responsible for some of Saddams crimes and were wrong for what they did. But because they (the US and UK) were wrong then, it doesnt mean they are wrong now. For example, the British empire was once fighting a naval battle to keep the slave trade running. However, the same empire, centuries later, fought another naval battle to eliminate slave trade. They were wrong in the former but were right on the later
Giles20 3 years ago
Saddam would have been overthrown right after the Gulf War if it wasn't for those criminals and thugs in the White House, but that would have meant allowing the Iraqi people to pick their own government, that would have meant missing the chance to invade Iraq more than 10 years later and having the chance to sign an agreement like this one, so of course the honorable US couldn't allow it. Here, one of their own admitting this:

I agree, i also believe that the US should have gotten rid of Saddam then. But that was not the case. I see the invervention in 2003 as a posponed one, but its better late than never!
Also, was it not the case that a bulk of the American imperialist right, the Kissinger hawks, always supported non intervention? Was it not the case that they were against intervention in 2003?
Giles20 3 years ago
Also, in a perfect world, there would be no civilian casualties in war. But this is reality!
Giles20 3 years ago
Of course, there are rogue elements within the American army that are commiting crimes and should be punished. However, the majority are doing a good job.
So according to your logic, American troops are morally equivalent to suicide bombers and secterian murderers?
Without the American troops, these religious fascists and secterian malitias will turn Iraq into another Rhawanda. Allot, of Iraqis know this.
Giles20 3 years ago
Don't tell me what all Iraqis know, you don't know what Iraqis want. I never said the US army was morally equivalent to other militias in Iraq, all militias are different from each other, they have different sources of funding, different goals, different justifications for committing the crimes/murders they commit, and usually different religions and backgrounds, so they're very different, but also the same.
MementoExpose 3 years ago
Go look at what your army did in Fallujah, Najaf and Karbalah then come talk, your glorious army turned those cities to ghost towns, and you're here to lecture me about morality? The American army used chemical weapons on the civlian populations of those cities because they refused to surrender, just like the MONGOL army, barbarians, we will never forget.
MementoExpose 3 years ago
For the record, im not an American. In regards with those cities, wasnt it the case that religous fascists and various murdering malitias have taken over control, imposing their own rule?
Of course, certain elements of the US army perhaps have commit war crimes and should be punished. However, this doesnt impeach the the original justification of removing these fascists from control.

1 More thing I forgot to add:
Obama is not going to withdraw troops, that's a lie. He said Combat troops which are about 40 to 60,000 troops ( Pre-Surge amount ) which is just b.s. That does nothing to change anything. He is a globalist ( Part of the CFR ) so he has a vested interest in having a presence there.
