  • dahlia for president

  • It was obvious from about mid-2002 on that it was all about the OIL.

    The changing stories about WMD, liberation, etc., were just lies invented on the spot by our psychopathic rulers.

    A majority of Americans apparently either believed those lies or didn't care enough to challenge them.

  • i was like whoa what is Richard Simmons doing on this video. Nonetheless the Dr. makes some of the best points that i have seen on youtube in some time

  • any man will be proud knowing this woman...

  • FUCKING PREACH!!!

  • im not sure why people thumbs'ed down you, you agree with the video i guess they dont really speak tomuch english

  • A good speaker,if only more could 'listen'.

  • You are maybe right but the hole thing is started by the US and the west including Israel...pirats...

  • George Bush is a hero

  • How do you figure?

    Most people with any brains recognize that he was by far, the worste persident in American history. He is fucking war criminal and will hopefully tried along with his boys.

  • god i love her!!

  • She is SO RIGHT!!

  • you are a wonderful angel

  • she kinda sexy, real talk

  • It's not that hard to understand Jason. If you knew anything about recent history you know Iraq lived for 13 years under a brutal system of sanctions and bombings by the US before the invasion and occupation in 2003.

    ww *Dot* youtube *dot* com/watch?v=VYioNzOWbeM

  • i detest socialism but the war issue brings together many unlikely allies. please work to stop the war in Iraq and prevent any other unprovoked wars DC wants to start.

  • Love her!

  • Wow that is some thing you don't see every day a girl who purity and smart.

  • I never would have guessed that this was a Socialism conference. That speech would have fit in nicely at a pro-freedom rally. Go figure.

  • She is awesome and very brave for saying the truth. God Bless her and may He help those innocents people and may He bring them victory soon Inshaalah!

  • Wow she has the looks and the branes.

  • peace. you're grossly misinformed all around the bored and i suggest you wake up from your nap right now. the saudis did not do 9/11... and "even if they did" the bush administration gave them the funds and the blueprint to carry it out. we have MORE than enough gas, it's not about the amount of gas... the American dollar is WEAK so prices are going to double and triple.

  • sounds like these American snipers are the terrorists...

  • WHEN NATIONS DO BUSINESS WITH THE DEVIL, THE DEVIL WILL SOON EAT ALSO THOSE NATION WHEN THIER BACKS OUR TURN.

    CHECK HISTORY- THIS IS AN KNOW FACT EVERY NATION THAT HAS DONE BUSINES WITH ANGLO SAXON OF ENGLAND AND USA WILL OR HAS COME UNDER THE VISE OF THESE TWO NATION..

    IRAQ ATTACKED OTHER NATIONS AS A PUPPET OF THESE ANGLO SAXON NATIONS IN THE PAST... NOW KARMA HAS COME AROUND... NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THE DEVIL AGAIN he is never your friend.

  • These past 5 years, I have had this 16 mins where I heard nothing but someone speak the truth.

  • Dr. Dahlia Wasfi is a heroine for speaking out with the truth.

  • Perfect speech. Nothing more to add but "well said... well said" *applauds*

  • God, please forgive the U.S. for what we have become.

  • I love this women!!!!!!!! she is amazing!!!!

  • Great speaker, but where has she been? Speaking at socialist worker conferences?

    Not very good in the strategy department. Iraqi's have killed many many more of their own even though we started the mess.

    We are "stirring the cauldron" causing

    chaos so that we can steal their oil.

    The war on terror is an excuse for

    American hegemony. All the "mistakes" we

    made going in & during the occupation were deliberate & an excuse to keep the chaos

    & US presence going for 10 yrs @ least.

  • You won't find her a political pundit on Fox news or CNN.

  • What a fantastic woman ! She is a true American/Iraqi/Arab heroine. Thank you Dr Wasfi - you are an inspiration to people of justice everywhere.

  • Lovely, articulate woman, telling the truth.

  • I'm so glad that there are other people out there whom oppose the so called war on terror.

    Share this vid, and others you find, with everyone you know. Only through popular demand will this genocide come to an end.

  • She does not even speak the language of Iraq.

  • The war on terror is a fraud . Its really about money ( petrodollar ) , oil and control .

    Getting control of Iraqis oil ( third largest oil reserves ) , Afghanistan " the Caspian basin" ( Huge oil and gas fields )

    Now there after Iran's oil ( second largest oil reserves ) .

    After the 911 attacks the USA has troops all over Asia and the Middle East , expanding its Empire now on China's and Russia's door step .

    The War on terror is really The War for global RESOURCES and US hegemony .

  • Col. Ronald D. Ray, U.S. Marine Corps calls official story of 9/11 " the dog that doesn't hunt. " Ray questioned the feasibility of having a budget of half a trillion dollars a year, yet not even being able to defend the Pentagon. 'Half a trillion dollars a year and a bunch of guys over in a cave in Afghanistan were able to penetrate that half a trillion dollar network that's supposed to provide Americans with national security. " patriotsquestion911

  • Very good speech Dahlia. (This is quite a serious matter - fewer smiles & no jokes next.

    Right: no justice, no peace

  • The Fuck ups in Iraq were orchestrated by Cheny and Bush to create a bigger conflict to rip the American public off and make profits for their companies. No Iraqi Army Dumps were seized and hundreds of tonnes of weapons were left unguarded for the insurgency to take. Then they also lost 14 billion in Cash in Iraq. Both acts guaranteed profits for Halliburton and the Carlyle Group. Bush is a terrorist

  • Any hope she might run for president?

  • Suffices to say: that is why we need to speak out against the [illegal] wars BUT support our troops in war zones.

  • Ive being watching movies lately where their supplanting the word "domestic terrorist" and new laws have been created to try and prevent another Vietnam civil unrest.

    be warned because we did not stand up for the iraqis no one will come to our aid when our own government call us terrorists.

  • I agree with a lot of the things the speaker is saying, but there's a reason why American soldiers barge in peoples homes, it's because they're looking for these terrorists that are causing this chaos. America should have NEVER taken Saddam out of power, Saddam was a monster because he had to be one in order to keep groups like Al Qaeda out of Iraq.

  • are you seriously that blind?

  • Dahlia Wasfi, I love you!

    I recomomend you read Dahr Jamail - Beyond the Green Zone:Dispatches of an Unembedded Reporter in Occupied Iraq.

    Jeremy Scahill - Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army

  • every time our engineers went to get their facilities up and working, that goes for electrical, water, pipelines,,they were sabotaged, bombed, people were shot, business blown up by terrorists groups...so dont tell me we made things worse.and no security? blame that on islamic extremists.

  • I recomomend you read Dahr Jamail - Beyond the Green Zone:Dispatches of an Unembedded Reporter in Occupied Iraq.

    Jeremy Scahill - Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army

  • I totally i agree with you man, but there would have been no Islamic extremists in Iraq if Saddam was still there.  There was a reason why he was such a monster, it's because if he wasn't then all these baster terrorist would've taken advantage of him. This coming from a Christian Iraqi, You can't make peace int he middle east because these people are animals

  • actually custard..from what i have read..the u.s.marines had all this in place years ago but the companies that got bush back in power were the same companies that told those soldiers..tear that generator down...we are not ready yet (havent made enough money yet). Fuck all to do with "terrorists".

  • "When I speak its always for my family" - note that.

  • Phubb if you don't remove you "Pending Moderation" on the comments then people will just rip the video and upload it themselves and allow the most beautiful promising cause of humanity to persist: FREESPEECH

  • 'Pending moderation' is in place due to the fact that there is a well known, organized, and financed right wing 'hit squad' on youtube. They go to antiwar videos and launch vile disgusting personal attacks and flame the video and other commenters. Disagreements with the speaker are welcome, but only if they are respectful - NO RACISM - NO FLAMMERS!

  • Wow Dahlia !, such a cutie !

  • seriously

  • fabulous ! ....you go girl !.....

  • thanks so much for posting this !!!

  • please help iraqi refugees! collateralrepairprojrct dot org . please!

  • the occupation needs to end now!

  • I hate to tell you this very obvious fact but Germany and the UK are firmly, decidedly, and completely CAPITALIST countries. What you call 'Socialism' is just the attemept by some politicians to appease the working class by making a few corrupt reforms. They call it Socialism, but it has nothing to do with real Socialism.

  • This woman is lying by omission. They don't hate us because of our freedoms? She is not telling the full facts - they hate us because of our unconditional support for the terrorist state of Israel. She has also not mentioned the chemical weapons the US used on Faluja and the presence of the Mossad IDF snipers who were shooting at US troops to fuel their agression. Its sicker than 90% of you could imagine.

  • WTF are you talking about? You're wrong. Did you listen to her comments in the video? She outlines many of the war crimes committed by the US Military in Fallujah. Dr. Wasfi has been a long time supporter of the Palestinian people's right and struggle for self determination. Dahr Jamail, a close friend of Dahlia's broke the story about the Us military's use of White Phosphorus in Fallujah! Get real and get your facts straight.

  • This is documented. I have seen WITNESS testimonies of the "Falluja massacre" - I think that is the name of the doco.

  • Listen to me: During the Falluja strike there were IDF snipers on rooftops sniping American US soldiers and journalists - this is a fact that needs to be tested in an IMPARTIAL court of law.

  • Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad's flirtation with those who deny the reality of the Nazi genocide has rightly been met with disgust.

    But another holocaust denial is taking place with little notice: the holocaust in Iraq.

    The average american believes that 10,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed since the US invasion in March 2003.

    The most commonly cited figure in the media is 70,000. But the actual number of people who have been killed is most likely more than one million.

  • she's cute

  • Well, interestingly enough, I am an Iraqi-American. And it is insurgents, Ba'thists, and Islamists killing Iraqis - who use the US as an excuse to kill civilians.

    Ask my family in Iraq - do they want America to leave? Their answer is emphatically "OH DEAR GOD NO."

  • I don't know what reality you're looking at but responsibility for all the violence in Iraq begins and ends with the illegal US invasion and occupation. Iraqi society was undoubtedly crippled under the draconian US imposed economic sanctions of the 90s and the regime of Saddam Hussein, but it was no threat to the US or it's neighbors and was at peace with the World

  • Sept 16, 2007 Blackwater mercenaries kill 17 unarmed Iraqi civilians

  • only 2,000 plus active duty military members have committed suicide between 1995-2007.. get your facts straight

  • socialism= pure evil..

    20th century proves this yet people still want to drag it on.. Communism, nazism, you name it baathists were socialists as well

  • great points!

  • They are using nazi tactics, assaulting hospitals and doing retaliatory killings on civilians. She's right when she compares it to the warsaw uprising.

  • Thanks again for posting...

  • Sounds GreaT!

  • What?! That's not what CNN and FOX tells us.

  • well said dahlia

  • the problems we have in this world is from rightwing governments and fundamentals chuches. and the media like fox and others, who are doing the word for the rich people. l am very left wing and we have the answers to life

  • the leftwing people know all the anwers to life, don't listen to those rightwing nuts. on foxnews and bush and his mates, unless u are rich and want to get more money. also the churches support bush and these wars and what the jews are doing to the world. freedom is controlled by a few people, and the will lead people to hell.

  • HoNeyBee73 - you make no point is here.

    1st: $9 billion of our tax money has gone missing to US 'contractor' corporations It never went to the Iraqi reconstruction efforts.

    2nd: When Saddam Hussein was at his most brutal, he was shaking Donald Rumsfeld's hand as a key US 'ally'. Where do you think he got those chemical weapons he used - the good old USA!

    3rd: In the 80s, Dr. Wasfi was 5 years old

    and in the 90s she was in school getting her education.

  • Audioaxes & bvb720-lay off the booze 4 a minute & think-neither of you commented on the content of this video- did you watch it? What facts can you offer to counter or refute these? Axe- your boogoolugoo comment

    suggests the kind of root rascism the Dr. Wasfi suggest is part of the basic problem-did you realize that? How would you like english to be called crackercrumbs?

  • Ha! Ha! RIProgressive - great comment!

  • thats awesome.

    she's pretty attractive as well

  • If you had listened to what Dr Wasfi said

    you'd realize the US hasn't helped anyone in Iraq, least of all the Iraqi people. The only ones who have benefitted from the US invasion and occupation are the US war corporations - Blackwater, Halliburton, KBR, Bechtel.

    If the US sends military into Darfur, Burma (Myanmar)it will mean death and destruction for the civilian population.

  • So your a member of the Socialist Worker Party. Go back to the U.S.S.R. See what freedoms you have there.

    Isn't America great. Ignorant people like you can present your skewed point of view.

  • bvb720- What decade, no what century are you living in? The Soviet Union was dismantled in 1989-91. Russia is now a good old fashioned capitalist dictatorship - er "democracy". It's the oldest trick in the book - call someone a red, but don't discuss Dr Wasfi's ideas. You might have to admit she's right!

  • dear Dr. Wasfi:

    You are inelegant, courages, and yet very beautiful. thank you for informing us.

    keep up the good work.

  • Where can I get the text of this talk, for my friends who don't have dsl and cannot watch videos online?

  • go to Socialist Worker web site and search for Dahlia Wasfi. The text is posted there.

    socialistworker*dot*org//2007-­2/636/636_08_Wasfi*dot*shtml

  • Thank you so much. :)

  • Its an exciting time to be alive!!! Revolution, here we come!!!!!

  • First of all, this Dr. is really cute. Secondly, she is absolutely profound. Dr. Wasfi, you are my new hero!

  • Bush/Cheney are destroying not only Iraq and their next generation; they are destroying America and OUR next generation! Bush will use Directive 51 and turn Blackwater guns on us! Wake the hell up sheeple!

  • so when you hear the mad men killing there own people we should say so what its not our prolbem and its not only them who hate the USA and there own goverment take shots at us let it never be again

  • Wake up Faces. I don't know what reality you're looking at but responsibility for all the violence in Iraq begins and ends with the illegal US invasion and occupation. Iraqi society was undoubtedly crippled under the draconian US imposed economic sanctions of the 90s and the regime of Saddam Hussein, but it was no threat to the US or it's neighbors and was at peace with the World.

  • Get real faceswithin. We only went into Iraq to secure the oil reserves, and the fact that Saddam was a bad guy was a convenient excuse for invasion. Comparing this to Germany is lame because Saddam was not busy invading all neighboring countries and becoming the ruler of an entire region. Saddam was under control. Hitler was not.

  • I pray we learn this time not to save other country like Hilter or Iraq or Darfur if they wish not to save them self we should not may be we be better off just getting rich and becoming more powers and let the other go down the drain right

  • What we (the united States) have done to Iraq is beyond horrible! I honestly don't think that there are words to describe the horror that we have put those people through. This administration needs to be held accountable for what it's done!

  • These are very radical words. And it comes from a very oratory skilled and charming person.

  • Support Iraq Veterans Against the War (ivaw dot org)

    Support the Troops Who Refuse to Fight

    (couragetoresist dot org)

  • Was it any better before we entered, is 2 million kurds in the ground better than now? Are these people stupid enough to think that war is clean and happy? Its the peak of death and destruction. Did they know that Al Qaeda hides in the civillian populace? Was Al Zarqawi a civillian?

  • Don't know if any of you have been looking at Ron Paul he has been against this war from the very beginning. check out his voting record in congress. he a great man check him out find out what he stands for he is on your side like no other Ron Paul 2008

  • He is also anti-choice and a bigot. There are other (better) anti-war candidates.

  • " The only real prison is fear , and the only real freedom is freedom from fear " San Suu .

  • " The only devils in this world are the ones inside our own hearts . "

  • It's rather pathetic that they talk about the violence without ever condemning the terrorists who are planting car bombs to murder innocent people.

    Iraq has a democratically elected government and these people should be complaining about the terrorists trying to overthrow them.

  • Responsibility for all the violence, death and destruction we now see in Iraq starts with the US invasion and occupation.

    It will onlny end with the complete withdrawal of all foriegn occupying forces.

  • Thanks for sharing this video! Peace and Love!

  • even Thomas Ricks who is pro us military...admits...our abuse of the citizens and iraqi nation at the earliest stages of this "action"

    helped to produce the serious insurgency...

    ...FIASCO...by ricks says much the same in many ways..w/o going into a hyper anti american stance...but the abuse of many sectors was clearly argued as a strong reason by this former military as a basis for the failure by this present administration and our generals in many ways.

    Describe Life in Iraq Under U.S. Occupation?

    u will get a slap in the face

  • America needs more MDs like Dr. Dahlia Wasfi!

    Her facts are well researched, her conclusions are well supported.

    She shows that she is an articulate champion of humanity.

  • Yo TheTruthIs[REALLY]GonnaHurt[ME­]!:

    NOW DON'T GET CARRIED AWAY!...: I'M NOT REALLY GOING TO GO BACK-&-FORTH WITH YOU AGAIN IN SOME INVOLVED DEBATE OVER YOUR INSIPID LITTLE ARGUMENTS.

  • nubiancerebra, I dare you to watch the Gen Patton speech in Iraq. key phrase "Incredible! George S Patton's New Speech-Iraq & modern world".

  • s/he doesnt want to becuase s/he knows s/he'll be proved wrong

  • Nubiancerebra,

    There is a term for people like you that, who Enjoy Eating the food we make for you, Enjoy the comforts our businesses provide to you Like YouTube, Enjoy sleeping under the protection of our soliders and police officers and you do nothing but trash talk us in return. The word is PARASITE.

    How about you get out of our country and go live off another organism on the planet.

  • TheTruthIsGonnaHurt[ME]: "people like you, who Enjoy [BLAH, BLAH], Enjoy [BLAH, BLAH], Enjoy [BLAH, BLAH] & do nothing but trash talk us in return. The word is PARASITE."

    CHUMP U AIN'T DONE *SHIT* FOR ME.

    *WHITES* WERE THE PARASITES --INVADING, GENOCIDING, ENSLAVING, RAPING, *INFECTING*, STEALING & LIVING OFF THE HARDEST WORK OF EVERYONE *ELSE* & OTHERS KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HOW TO GROW THINGS, WHAT TO EAT & HOW TO SURVIVE!

    INDIANS REGRET THEY DIDN'T LET THE 1ST WHITES JUST *STARVE* TO DEATH.

  • To TheTruthIsGonnaHurt[ME]:

    ALL MORONS LIKE YOU HAVE DONE IS TO MAKE THIS NATION A TARGET & PUT US ALL IN GREATER DANGER.

    THE U.S. THINKS IT CAN GO ALL OVER THE WORLD & DO WHATEVER IT WANTS TO PEOPLE -- & THAT NOBODY CAN REACH BACK OUT & 'TOUCH' US IN RETURN.

    MLK *PREDICTED* THAT ONE DAY SOMEONE WOULD REACH BACK OUT & DEAL U.S. ARROGANCE A GREAT BLOW.

    HE SAID WHAT GOES AROUND..., COMES AROUND.

    PAYBACK'S A *BBBITCH*, HUH?

  • Nubiancerebra,

    What country do you live in ? Oh thats right your profile says the United States. So if this country is so evil, so screwed up, and we Americians are such horrible people.

    THEN WHY ARE YOU LIVING HERE ?

  • TheTruthIsGonnaHurt[ME]: "THEN WHY ARE YOU LIVING HERE?"

    BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO A *DAMN* THING ABOUT IT...

  • Nubiancerebra,

    #4 Right or Wrong , refers to the fact that no person , no adminstration , no government , or nation is free of making mistakes, and people like Dr. Dahlia Wasfi, YOU , and others will always be there to point the finger at others for their mistakes, as if you could do a better job if you were thrown into the situations our nations leaders have faced. All you do, all you have ever done, is sit on the sidelines and bitch and moan.

  • TheTruthIsGonnaHurt[ME]: "All you do, all you have ever done, is sit on the sidelines and bitch and moan."

    THE ONLY PERSON I SEE BITCHIN' & MOANIN' FOR *6* POSTS *IN A ROW*, AND THE HOUR IT TOOK YOU TO TYPE THEM, IS **YOU**.

    SO IF YOU'RE UNHAPPY WITH ME BEING HERE, THEN WHY DON'T YOU TAKE YOUR ASS BACK TO **EUROPE** -- WHERE YOU *INVADED* FROM -- AND BITCH & MOAN!?

  • Nubiancerebra,

    #3 The United States is the best country in the world. You talk about Education, who landed on the moon first ? Who created the Internet ? Who created Youtube ? The answer is AMERICIANS !!

  • TheTruthIs[REALLY]GonnaHurt[ME­]: "The U.S. is the best country in the world."

    WE ALREADY COVERED THAT -- LOOK BACK AT MY PREVIOUS POST: YOU WERE *FACTUALLY DISPROVEN* BY MOST MEASURE OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE, HEALTH, EDUCATION, CULTURE, ARCHITECTURE, CUISINE, AND IN SOME CASES GEOGRAPHY.

  • TheTruthIs[REALLY]GonnaHurt[ME­]: "You talk about Education, who landed on the moon first?"

    GEE, YOU HAVE TO GO BACK ALMOST *30* YEARS TO FIND SOMETHING NOTABLE, HUH? -- AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO CRITICALLY HELPED US ACHIEVE THAT WEREN'T EVEN ORIGINALLY AMERICANS.

    EVER HEAR OF WERNHER VON BRAUN? HE 1ST WORKED FOR THE NAZIS BEFORE THE U.S. IMPORTED HIM AFTER WWII.

  • TheTruthIs[REALLY]GonnaHurt[ME­]: "Who created the Internet?"

    U MEAN ON THE AVG ABOUT THE *SLOWEST* INTERNET IN THE WORLD? EVEN THE *KOREANS* ARE NOW AHEAD OF US. (BUT IT WAS PROBABLY SOME ASIANS IN OUR DEFENSE DEPT. WHO CREATED IT.)

    - "Who created Youtube? The answer is AMERICIANS!!"

    BZZZZ!! WRRRONG!! AN *ASIAN*, A *GERMAN*, & AN AMERICAN -- & WE KNOW THAT THE *ASIAN* & THE *GERMAN* PROBALBY DID MOST OF THE WORK B/C THEIR SCHOOL SYSTEM IS MORE RIGOROUS & THEY WORK HARDER.

  • Nubiancerebra,

    #1 The United States gets oil from middle easten countries like Saudi Arabia in exchange for protection. Hence Kuwait. Oil was definately one of things we requested from Iraq for exchange for taking him out of power, we aint going to spend 720 billion dollars and not get something for it

    #2 Osama bin laden / Sweden has nothing to do with our arguement.

  • TheTruthIs[REALLY]GonnaHurt[ME­]: "#1 ...oil [BLAH BLAH BLAH]... #2 Osama bin laden / Sweden has nothing to do with our arguement."

    WELL, BIN LADEN MADE IT PART OF *HIS* ARGUMENT -- THAT'S THE POINT (that Sweden had *more* freedoms).

    BUT WITH BUSH & ANOTHER 10 YRS OF THIS SUPREME COURT, BIN LADEN WON'T HAVE TO WORRY MUCH LONGER ABOUT "HATING US FOR OUR FREEDOM".

    YOUR OTHER *POINT* IS ON THE TOP YOUR HEAD & THAT'S WHY I'M NOT GOING TO EVEN BOTHER WITH YOUR STUPID OIL ARGUMENTS ANYMORE.

  • The U.S. huffed & puffed against one nation waging an aggressive war & invading another nation, re Saddam's invasion of Kuwait, a DICTATORSHIP, in 1990. But the U.S. DIDN'T go on against aggressive war when Saddam invaded Iran in 1980.

    Then the U.S. SUPPORTED, AIDED & ARMED Saddam or LOOKED THE OTHER WAY when he committed atrocities he (like supposedly gassing the Kurds) was later condemned for.

    In fact there are photos of U.S. Defense Sec'y DONALD RUMSFELD SMILING & SHAKING SADDAM'S HAND!

  • While *Methain456* likes to publicly criticize Dr. Wasfi, Methain is an outright *COWARDLY* O.I.L. ("Oprtn. Iraqi Liberation") veteran who *BLOCKS* ANYONE but YouTube "Friends" from openly posting -- or criticizing *Methain* -- at *her* YouTube Profile & Comments Page -- and *REMOVED* all others' prior criticisms. Now, here you can certainly see why.

    [She didn't even have any "Friends" when I first wrote this. I think I'll send them her racist comments & see what they think.]

  • well the whole world protested that the united states should not have invaded iraq and no one listened and now the american people have to pay the price for their governments bad decissions what a pity!

  • Dr. Dahlia Wasfi , I am eager to know, if you would pick up a gun and defend your country if we were being invaded or occupied by another nation.

    What you fail to understand is that right or wrong in this conflict, the United States is the best country in the world, because we "tolerate" people like you (cowards) to stand there and sling sh*t at your own country. Can the people of Iraq under Saddams rule, be able to do that ?

  • 3) "the U.S. is the best country in the world"

    Well, not by most measures of quality of life, health and education. Other countries (in Europe & Asia) have FAR less crime, people have far more access to modern health care, more social services, greater job benefits, students rank much higher, higher education is free, they have more culture, more beautiful cities, even their coasts are much more beautiful. Obviously you, like many socially inbred superpatriots, haven't been abroad.

  • 2) "the U.S. is the best country in the world, because we "tolerate" people like you (cowards) to stand there and sling sh*t at your own country."

    Actually, as Osama bin Laden pointed out, there's more freedom (incl'g of speech) in *SWEDEN*. So, he said, "If I hated the U.S. for its supposed "freedom", I would have supported an attack on *Sweden*." Or, as one Western European woman said about the U.S., "We always knew your supposed "democracy" was exaggerated."

  • TheTruthIsGonnaHurt[ME]: "What you fail to understand is that right or wrong in this conflict, the United States is the best country in the world, because we "tolerate" people like you (cowards) to stand there and sling sh*t at your own country."

    1) "right or wrong..."

    So, morally, "MIGHT MAKES RIGHT!", huh? -- that's the same argument HITLER used.

  • TheTruthIsGonnaHurt[ME]: "Dr. Wasfi, I am eager to know, if you would pick up a gun & defend your country if we were being invaded"

    I'm sure Dr. Wasfi is FAR TOO INTELLIGENT to WASTE her time with the *IDDIOTIC* NON SEQUITURS of OVERGROWN, KNUCKLE-DRAGGING, PROTRUDING OCCIPITAL RIDGE, PROGNATHIC FRATSY FLAG-WAIVING "YOO-S-AAAYYY(!!)" ANENCEPHALIC SUPERPATRIOTS like YOU.

    WHY AREN'T *YOU* IN IRAQ HELPING THE U.S. OUT?

    (Btw, there are VETERANS OF ALL WARS who oppose this war.)

  • nubiancerebra, you have to understand that oil is the blood of the United States. Without oil we would not be a first world country and if all the gas pumps in the United States stopped working everyone of these "anti-war bandwagon jumpers" would be crying that they cant maintain there elite lifestyle. As the old saying goes, enjoy the T-bone steak , but dont ask where it came from.

  • TheTruthIsGonnaHurt[ME]: "W/o oil we would not be a first world country & if all the gas pumps in the US stopped working"

    1) The U.S. does *NOT* get the vast majority of its oil from Iraq: NEVER DID. So, what's your next IGNORANT excuse? - since you really don't care what the FACTS are ANYWAY.

    2) Your choices are FALSE CHOICES - based on your many IGNORANCES.

    3) I hope one day we can send people like you to Mars: y'all can happily have PERMANENT WAR *there*. Then we can live in PEACE.

  • THIS IS WHAT METHAIN456 POSTED AT MY YOUTUBE COMMENTS PAGE:

    "thain456 | August 02, 2007

    Just a nigger from Compton."

    IT'S THE 2ND TIME METHAIN CALLED ME "NIGGER" THERE.

    THIS IS ALSO WHAT METHAIN SENT:

    "thain456 | July 23, 2007

    Still out there little black sambo?"

    I'M LEAVING IT UP. -- IT SHOWS METHAIN FOR WHAT SHE REALLY IS.

    METHIAN HAS ALSO CALLED ME "SLAVE BOY" AT DR. WASFI'S OTHER VIDEO.

  • Here's *METHAIN456's* latest comment at my YouTube Profile Page:

    "thain456 | August 03, 2007

    niggercrap your such an idiot..... look who's calling mommie now..... LOL."

    Of course I didn't call anyone.

    (I've since blocked her, since she's now provided MORE THAN ENOUGH material there to show her for what she really is. Of course we can't be sure what s/he realy is since s/he keeps changing her Profile -- and even country name.)

  • Now if thain456/*METHAIN456* is THIS *RACIST* against AFRICAN AMERICANS, and said she was a soldier in Iraq in the U.S. military, then you can IMAGINE what she thinks about *ARABS* -- and what she might have done to IRAQI CIVILIANS when she carried AN AUTOMATIC ASSAULT WEAPON in Iraq! -- or maybe even at abu-Ghraib!

  • Yo POPgunslinger! Instead of RUNNING TO *'MOMMY'* because you CAN'T intellectually & analytically *DEFEND* yourself, why don't you tell us all (so we can ALL *CRY* too!) SPECIFICALLY *WHERE* I posted "name calling personal attacks on serveral posters" (read: YOU, Methain, or TheTruthIsGonnaHurt[Me]), rather than a little jocular jabbing, since the moderator PHubb's rules 1 day ago? -- which said "if you disagree with *Dahlia*".

  • Phubb restated "PERSONAL ATTACKS WILL NOT BE APPROVED!" re-read it.

  • Yo Popgunslinger, got anything to say about METHAIN456?

  • I'll restate - Just so you ALL KNOW THE GROUND RULES on comments up front. PERSONAL ATTACKS WILL NOT BE APPROVED! If you discuss the ideas in a civilized, respectful way (even if you disagree with Dahlia), your comment WILL BE APPROVED.

    NO FLAMERS OR RIGHT WING ATTACK SQUAD on this thread please - personal attack comments will not be approved

  • Of course LEFT WING FLAMERS are expectable.... right?

  • Yo! *METHAIN*456, *WHY* DID YOU *SUBSCRIBE* TO MY VIDEO FAVORITES at my YouTube Favorites page if you despise me (and Dr. Wasfi) so much?:

    A DESPERATE **CRY** FOR HELP!!?

    Maybe you'll *learn* something after all.

  • *METHAIN*456: "Funny how now you believe the [*U.S.*] government 9-11 commission when it fits into your twisted logic."

    Btw METHAIN, THE 9-11 COMMISSION -- who found that "THERE WAS NO CREDIBLE EVIDENCE OF ANY OPERATIONAL CONNECTION BETWEEN AL-QAEDA AND SADDAM" -- was the *U.S. govt* commission signed into LAW by *YOUR* President Bush: you know, *YOUR* hero! *Now* whose 'logic' is twisted?

  • Phubb, it seems you're not sticking to your own rules by allowing this nubiancerbra to post name calling personal attacks on serveral posters.

  • arkgunslinger, CAN *YOU* SAY *HYPOCRITE*!?

    IF YOU CAN'T TAKE THE *HEAT* GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN!

    arkgunslinger: "Yeah, sure and the CIA took out the twin towers, there really was a spaceship crash in Roswell, and Elvis is still alive. I'm very familiar your kind."

    Then your latest ad hominem: "If your history and political education is from Wikipedia then you're the Idiot."

    YOU DREW FIRST BLOOD. I JUST FINISHED YOU OFF. CRYBABY!

  • nubiancerebra, I have no need to defend myself. Your the one who claimed The US told Saddham to invade Kuait. I called you on this claim and so far you've not provided a single credible source except the wiki article, which I suggest you go back and read again.

    She[Glaspie] said that at the July 25 meeting she had "repeatedly warned Iraqi President Saddam Hussein against using force to settle his dispute with Kuwait.

  • So, POPgun WHERE IS Glaspie's ex post facto claim OFFICIALLY DOCUMENTED that on 7-25-90 she supposedly "REPEATEDLY warned Saddam against using force" against Kuwait?

    In conventions of examination & the analysis of evidence, 1st you look at objective evidence, then evidence & testimony NOT IN - NO ONE - DISPUTE/S. Thus THE STATEMENT OF *RECORD* NOT IN DISPUTE. TRANSCRIPT OF HUSSEIN-GLASPIE MEETING, 7-25-90:

    "We have no opinion on your Arab-Arab conflicts, such as your dispute with Kuwait."

  • nubiancerebra, I'm only going to say it one more time. Read your own reference cited(Wiki)the ENTIRE ARTICLE and the intervue with Tariq Aziz(you know who him right?) and what he said. I'm not feeding your narcissism(use your pal wiki if you don't understand the word) anymore.

  • Yo POPgunslinger: I guess you just don't intellectually understand how OBJECTIVE &/or UNDISPUTED *EVIDENCE* works in a critical examination.

    You have a SUBJECTIVE need to believe Tariq Aziz's SUBJECTIVE personal beliefs. Why Aziz moreso than Saddam? (Was Aziz just a nicer guy???)

    I BELIEVE THE OBJECTIVE &/OR UNDISPUTED EVIDENCE.

    If you've got some *OBJECTIVE* &/OR *UNDISPUTED* EVIDENCE to *specifially* show me -- *CUT & PASTE* -- then PUT UP OR SHUT UP!

  • Repeat: You have a SUBJECTIVE need to believe Tariq Aziz's SUBJECTIVE personal beliefs. Why Aziz moreso than Saddam? (Was Aziz just a nicer guy???)

    And that's just Aziz's AFTER-THE-FACT, *UNSUPPORTED* CLAIM anyway: WHERE IS IT *OFFICIALLY* SUBSTANTIATED? He's just speaking for himself -- unless you can OBJECTIVELY demonstrate otherwise between him and Saddam and within the then Iraqi government. So, why didn't Aziz resign his position then and let someone else take over?

  • nubiancerebra, do you believe that the twin towers was an "inside" job? Yes or No?

  • arkgunslinger: "nubiancerebra, do you believe that the twin towers was an "inside" job? Yes or No?"

    In Logic & Argument, as well as rules of evidence & examination, your question/response is considered NONRESPONSIVE (in other terms, a non sequitur) to the immediate question/argument -- simply put, not on point.

    But, POPgunslinger, in return, here's AN INTELLIGENCE TEST for you: do you believe everything the Bush administration tells you? Yes or No?

  • 3,000 U.S. Troops have died for a country that hates them, at the very least, dont let it be a waste , the Iraqis need to use this new power given to them " Freedom of Speech " and " Freedom to Vote " and tell both the Sunni and the Shiites enough is enough !!

  • Yes ! We are fighting for Oil ! We have to keep our country running, nothings is for free ! Yet we are giving something to the Iraqis, that they never had before an "opportunity" to break free of this Sunni and Shiites death grip on their country and develop a democratic government that listens to the majority and at the same time does not kill the minority for their opinion.

  • how are we to tell another country how to run their country?

  • Why dont these jerks ever blame the insurgents, that blow up there "fellow countrymen. The Sunni and Shiites to give a crap about there own people. All they want is control !!

    Everyone is quick to talk trash and blame things on the United States but last time I checked, anyone that said a nasty thing about " Uncle Saddam " when he was in power was dragged off and never seen again.

  • TTIGH: "Yes! We are fighting for Oil!"

    And what *is* _OUR OIL_ doing UNDER *THEIR* SAND, anyway, huh!?

    TTIGH: "Why dont these jerks ever blame the insurgents"

    Don't them A-rabs know?: We come in PEACE! We bring them *CIVILIZATION*! (It's the white man's burden.)

    TTIGH: "anyone that said a nasty thing about "Uncle Saddam" when he was in power was dragged off and never seen again."

    YEAH! NOT LIKE THE U.S. WITH ABU-GHRAIB & GUANTANAMO & KIDNAPPINGS WITHOUT TRIALS OR EVEN CHARGES!!

  • TheTruthIsGonnaHurt: "anyone that said a nasty thing about " Uncle Saddam " when he was in power was dragged off and never seen again."

    YEAH, AND SOMETIMES THE U.S. MILITARY -- ERR, *SAD-DAM* -- WOULD PHOSPHOROUS BOMB AND DESTROY ENTIRE CITIES/TOWNS, KILL *ENTIRE FAMILIES*, AND SOMETIMES EVEN RAPE THE WIFE & YOUNG DAUGHTERS BEFOREHAND!

    NOT EVEN *WEDDING* PARTIES WERE SAFE FROM U.S. -- ERR, SAD-DAM'S -- BOMBING!

  • Last time I checked nubiancerebra, Saddam's sons were raping wives and daughters and killing the husbands and fathers if they protested long before we got there.

    The people of Iraq are like zombies, they can not think for themselves, they want another dictator in power. They dont understand or want " democracy ", because then they would have to think on their own. They much rather be told what to do, by the sunni , shiites , or the baath party.
