[moslemssuck]

Do they have a Bomb Vest making badge over there?

[MrBillTroop73]

cute

[matanesku]

This forrest looks like the forrest we make are Jamboree.

Do want to tell me that all the forrests in the Middle East are similar?

[cantslowdown]

And people say the Army is filled with monsters. What kind of monsters help build schools? help kids learn? risks their lives everyday for Iraqi's that hate them anyway, and provides programs for the youth of Iraq just like this?

[burningsexyleo]

I think this is great for Iraq, I love how the USA took over from the dictatorship of Saddam and saved these people to be free like the western world.

God bless you America!

[Vets4Victory]

Wow... propaganda? Waste of taxpayers money? These guys have no clue! These Iraqi Boy Scouts will learn to be better people and leaders of their country. Radical Liberal Rabbit and Jimbalino... idiots...

[rangerwannabe001]

Made possible by combined efforts and the invasion of Iraq. This would never have been possible. under Saddaam. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. And it's not propaganda. It's a glimpse into the side of the war we never hear about or see.

[YoDudesWhatsup333]

aww, theyre cute!

[kokohawk]

Although the videos are censored to the military's liking, it's stil good to see some positivity coming out of the youth in Iraq.

[shakespeare102]

Awesome job guys- Thanks for posting. My son is a scout here in the US and will get a kick out of the similarities. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to keeping kids safe wherever they live.

God Bless,

Smyth Family

Phx AZ.

[yonnyf]

You are a fucking idiot Smyth Family.

Lets kill their brothers and sisters, rob their oil and americanize them. What a fucking great idea.

"keeping kids safe"???? Those kids will NEVER be safe but i am glad your kid will get a kick out of the similarities as you put it.

[TheRadicalRabbit]

Does anyone else see the irony that the military is using youtube to get out the "real storey" yet they have resricted the troops themslves from using or even accessing youtube and other networking sites????

[seabeetow4u]

Ever occur to you the bandwidth is limited over there? 500 GIs watching YouTube would slow it to more of a crawl than it already is. Maybe if you drank coffee instead of smokin' a blunt first thing in the morning...? Might figure this stuff out on your own

[rangerwannabe001]

To TheRadicalRabbit: Have you seen what's been posted by some soldiers. It just takes one idiot to make our heroes look bad. Also, their is a security risk involved. Don't you know there are people in Iraq who want to blow up our troops?

[pgidd]

Hey, Rabbit. I'm in Iraq right now. I have a livejournal, a myspace and a facebook. I'm here to tell you that there is NO SUCH RESTRICTION from a soldier's full access to networking sites and freedom of speech.

[Airborneready]

Then, how am I using YouTube if I am not allowed to access it? Get real dude.

[jimbalino]

Not only is this totally propaganda but also looks to me like an incredible waste of American taxpayer's money.

[steelersrulenyc23]

fuck this propaganda, fuck the pentagon(pentagram) and g. "dubya" "grandson to a nazi supporter" bush. 650,000 dead Iraqi's, and counting. i am sick of the military's shit. 40% of u.s. troops support torture in Iraq, that is evil, and comes from the top of command. Impeach: bush, cheney, rumsfeld, rove, gonzalez, negroponte, Indict them all along with: perle, wolfowitz, delay, whitman, powell, norton, tenet, etc.

[gatorfankim]

No one is forcing this "propaganda" down your throat! Sick of the military? Well pack up and move buddy 'cause when this crap ever comes here who do you think is going to protect your hateful self! Those of us with son's in the military certainly do not appreciate your disgusting spews... Go away and unleash your foul mouthed hatred on someone who gives a crap!

[salek1983]

well i live there between 1990 and 2003 1.5 of iraqis people diedbecause of un Economic sanctions and of course usa was behind all that after 2003 and a resault of your illegally occupation sens 2003 hlaf million of people died so good job keep doing that kill millions and save Some just go ahead you make miss saddam hussien hwo i hated a lot just take all oil from my land and leave us alone fuck u i hate usa i hate usa

[oxymoron22]

thats really funny and credible coming from a guy posting "iranian war hero" videos.

[gatorfankim]

Well since you lived there already... go back! Your spewing of hatred, disgust and vulgarity are not appreciated! BTW, learn to spell if you are going to post such HATRED!

[bigelectricat]

the boy scouts are cleaning the minefields before they set up camp. how sweet. since when did they have boy scouts in the middle east? how do they take their oath? using the bible verse? now that is classic!

[408608]

we fucked up when we invaded anyways... look wat we've created.....

[kfman2006]

If you leftist morons want to see "propaganda" just turn on the evening "news"! They are by far the biggest suppliers of propaganda in the world today. By showing only problems and not the successes in Iraq they are trying to lead the gullible American public down the path of their socialist agenda! Time to wake up America and see the media for what they really are the propaganda wing of the Demoratic party!

[bigelectricat]

the only gullible americans are those who voted for dubya on his second term. propaganda is what you call his religious agenda. america doesnt need to be edumacated like you.

[wallscalused]

kfman2006

You could not be more correct. Ive spent three years in Iraq. I can tell you from experience the successes way outway the failures. It strikes me as rediculas the news gets a hold of a bad story then runs it over and over add nauseum. If they would report the good stuff they could have new stories every fifteen minutes 24/7

[sanchez1912]

iraq scouts???? wow..happy scouting to iraqi boys and girls!!!!

[stonecast]

This is utter crap. Sure you show a few children getting some candy. But what about the hundreds of thousands that are living in misery because we're there. We can't just put our heads in the sand and expect things will work out.

[pfosterFFR]

Yeah life was a dream for them under saddam. Living in misery because we're there? Are you serious? WAKE UP!

[ManicParroT]

I was a Boy Scout, and I don't like seeing them getting dragged into military politics. The Boy Scouts may have had their roots in the British military, but they managed to make the transition to a relatively apolitical movement. It's a shame to see their image hijacked for war propaganda.

[Peacetoyouandyours]

Propaganda aimed at the American public by the Pentagon.

10's of thousands of Iraqi Children slaughtered and the Bush Regime thinks it can wipe it's slate clean with a few rosy glassed vids. One can go here mothersdayforpeacedotcom/salee­.php to help the victims of the American-Iraq War. Consider it the beginning of Reparations.

[ThermalVision]

thank You Americans. You have done Iraq more than what anyone can. Your commitment and help, will transform Iraq into a beautiful nation worthy of its place in the world. Thank you George Bush and the American people and the American troops for your generosity. May God Bless America. May God Bless Iraq. and may peace reign.

[gatorfankim]

My son was a Scout and today proudly serves in the United States Marine's! Thank you for sharing this beautiful "true" video with us. Where there are children, there is ALWAYS Hope! Bush00is00hero, may peace and calm come to your land soon. God Bless you and yours.

[RyannBTW]

My little brother is an Eagle Scout and leaves for Basic Training this summer. I like to think there may be Eagles waiting for him when he gets to Iraq.

Keep it up!

[elkchess]

Beautiful sign of progress. As an old scoutmaster this warms my heart. Thank God we are protecting them.

[bush00is00hero]

Thank you for your kindly feeling towards my people. you are going to see more signs of progress after cleaning Iraq's body from terrorists. May God bless America. May God bless Iraq.

[kewlboy567]

your a christan iraqi?

[ginger42256]

Hey kewlboy567,

Yea There are Christians in Iraq. Fact is, there are more Christians than any other religion in the world. The news just makes it sound like all people in Iraq and middle eastern countries aren't anything other than Muslims but fact is yea there are Christians in Iraq too.

[atlasshrugs2000]

The defeatocrats want to squash this budding democracy. You can never kill hope, leftards.

[Jamsie567]

The most precious resource Iraq has. Protect this at all costs now is a time for heroes GOD BLESS

[JMcH]

For perspective, here's what Scouting was like under Saddam:

en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Iraq_Boy_Scouts_and_G­irl_Guides_Council

After the Baath party took control in 1968 and especially after Saddam Hussein seized power in 1979, youth groups were retooled to serve the state. One replacement program, Saddam's Cubs, offered "summer camps" where 10 to 15 year-old boys endured 14-hour days filled with hand-to-hand fighting drills.

[stevenewyork]

Hitler did the same thing. "Hitler's Youths" or something like that.

[bryantkylehunt]

hitler youths killed people, i highly doubt that any of these young men have done something like that. hitler youths were filled with a horrible ideology that the aryan race was superior to all other races. the last time i checked the boy scouts, were about teaching young men the values of being a man be it an american boy scout, or an iraqi boy scout. for future reference, don't relate young men like this to those of the hitler youth. it shows that you have no intelligence.

[kewlboy567]

hitlers youth was much diffrent they were formed of kids 12-17 to young to enlist and also old men they were seen as soldiers boy scouts are not they are seen as a thing to teach about survival and wild life nothing to do with war

[ToddonCapeCod]

Thank you, George W. Bush!!!!

[highlands]

They're all wearing AC milan shirts with Kaka's number on the back, was there a sale or something? Then again I have an Iraq shirt. Good to see stuff like this happening.

[usdesertdweller]

GREAT video. Won't see this on the MSM, though. "No evidence of bombs or gunshots in the background.", he says cynically.

Thanks, troops! Keep up the fantastic work!

[beewear]

wow. that was beautiful. the boy scouts are so great and these boys a so very special.

[SwissCross]

AWSOME!

[tHeWasTeDYouTh]

yea, we never see this on cable news. I think maybe becasue insurgent might target the kids if they see this on tv.

great job guys

5/5

[Americanluvunit]

Great for them!

[SoulM811962]

God bless our troops for the good works they are doing for these people of Iraq. The demoncrats want us to surrender when we are so close to victory.

[alexakim]

Why can't we get videos like this on our MSM? This is why you, Our Wonderful Troops, ARE winning the hearts and minds of the real Iraqis, the real people who are not that different from us, after all. God bless you forever.

[carltardif]

This is what it is all about keep up the Great work. The way forward is for the kids of iraq that will grow up to say how are men were good to them.

[Breederville]

Absolutely wonderful!

[tldavis61]

Yeah, where is this on the news shows? Great video, keep telling the real story.

[Mitkit00]

These are the kinds of things that show what we are fighting for in Iraq.

[statistic83]

Why doesn't this stuff ever make the news?

I guess hope just doesn't sell.

[the28ig]

The brits used to own iraq and they were the first to actually start the boy scouts. I guess the Iraqi's kept the tradition after the brits left.

[Tekakwo]

lol last guy was funny.. nice vid

[AlreadyKnownAs]

Noting that the surge is working, these are the results that you can expect from coalition forces in Iraq.

Great clip!

[RAC56]

These precious Iraqi children are the future of Iraq. God bless the Coalition Troops for fighting in their behalf, and ours.

[cinnaraisnbagel]

Good to see that a great organization like the Boy Scouts is active in Iraq. Good job to the kids on their hard work.

[jonathinrico]

Too bad we don't see this on cable news...

[SOmbRA5691]

Nice video.

[dustbunny247]

Wow...never knew Boyscouts were active in Iraq. Thanks!
