This video is not accurate in the impression it gives viewers. The majority of Kurds want more than Federalism, they want outright independance from Iraq and the only thing stopping this is practical barriers. The Kurdish parties didnt create this seperatism. Also, the 2nd MP saying the parties in power are unpopular in Iraq defies logic, they were elected by the people so they have a degree of popularity proportional to their seats in parliament, or at least did when elections were held in 2005
@haidoors Very honest and correct statement. It is because of the latter guy that we Kurds like the presence of Americans in Iraq. We don't want to go through another chemical genocide or anfal , where more than 180.000 Kurdish civilians got killed in less than a year and the gassing of the city Halabja, which left 5.000 dead.
@beno2505 Na my friend, it was a gift from Arabs. You purchased it and used it on us. Thanks for showing the true face of yourself. This has caused a rift between us to nation forever. We will never forget and forgive what you guys have done, and we will make sure that you guys won't find peace from now on. You have woken up a generation of Kurds who are keen to participate in your destruction throughout the Middle-East.
Long live Israel and the presence of Mossad in IRAQ.
@shwankader i am north african so this is not my bizzness and with an attitude like that your people going to have a nice future loool. Saddam = not middle eastern people i think. The U,S TRYED tse Irao accun of that massacre(not genocid ), so long live to Israel in Iraq and live you and you people like poor idiot lool.
@shwankader I am north african so this is not my bizzness . And the U.S tryed to covert Saddam crime and they accused Iran for this massacre( and not genecid ) so stop being stupid. With an attitude like that your people going to have a nice future lool. So long live to Israel and mossad and good luck for your no future lool. Wake up man .
@beno2505 With all the respect to you my brother, but we very well know that the USA is the biggest criminal, but what did you expect us to do, fight to defend Saddam? Or do you maybe want us to start fighting the USA? Ok let's say that we drive US out, do you know what our neighbours will do? Suck our rights once again into the bin, kill and supress us. So no, we prefer it this way, since we can't depend on our neighbours. Kurds are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
it is a shame that Muslims are fighting and killing each other. if Prophet Muhammad, may Allah swt peace be upon him, is alive today these things would not happen. the muslims today pride their tribe and states but remember the prophet said Muslims are one brotherhood.
lastly, do not let the unbilievers to divide and weaken us, for them is a grieve punishment by Allah swt on Judgement Day.
It's even worse that they are killing the Christians of Iraq. Personally, I don't believe in the occult or mysticism. The only ghost I like is Casper, because he is friendly. In spite of my skepticism of the supernatural, what is being done to the Christians in Iraq is wrong. US commanders estimate that less than 1% of the violence in Iraq originates from al Queada. Our soldiers are in the middle of a civil war. Its like the English and the Irish all over again.
Article (2): 1st — Islam is the official religion of the state and is a basic source of legislation: (a) No law can be passed that contradicts the undisputed rules of Islam.
Article (3): Iraq is part of the Islamic world and its Arab people are part of the Arab nation.
Why doesn't McCain realize Iraq has decided to become a theocracy NOT a democracy?
What has happened to the more than a million Christians? Things that make you go "hmmmm".
Islamic therocracies exist exactly because of US, British and Israeli colonialization of the middle east.
Many middle eastern countries would have been much milder and some democratic. Infact, I know of 2 democratic governments in the middle east that were overthrown by the CIA.
Also, I think you've missed the whole point of why we are involved. Here it is:
War is the means by which leaders retain power and accumulate wealth.
Unfortunately, you give Bush too much credit. Those around him might cash in, but Bush thought in a juvinile way, that he could waltz into Iraq and liberate the oppressed. He thought they would throw flowers and hard candy. Remember how many times he said, "I know what they think" and then proved he didn't? Bush thought they would want what he imagins democracy to be. By trashing this consitution, he proves he doesn't even know what American democracy is. That's what is ironic.
The war isn't ment to be won. Why? Because you pay your tax dollars to fund it, you get the % of debt that's created by it, and your money looses value because of the increase in the money supply. Meanwhile, the wealthy, powerfull elite make the money and horde the power.
Why would they want it to end? Bush wouldn't get into office if he wasn't a good pet.
That means it's ok for us to support a government that has destroyed an entire religion within their borders and devestated a community? My understanding from Bush is that we are promoting freedom in Iraq. How is this freedom? Do Americans want their kids to die to promote a radical Islamic government? I'm pretty sure if they knew what was actually happening, support would be far less than it is now, especially among American Christians.
Christians make up more than 40% of all Iraqi refugees. Christian women have been forced to marry Muslim men and renounce their religion. Today, MSNBC posted a story about the plight of Iraqi Christians. Sweden accepts more Iraqi Christians than the US and Canada combined. All Christian churches have been burned (if one has escaped, I haven't heard of it). The majority of the remaining Christians live in camps without running water or electricity. Sounds like destroyed to me. What say you?
See below where I quote "Islam as the National Religion" from the Constitution of Iraq. Our constitution puts controls on religion in this country. That is democracy. Why? Because people with do anything, any evil if they believe they are doing it in the name of God. They have no limits. Can you imagine if Falwell (dead) or Fred Phelps had real power? They would be murdering left and right in the name of God. Our constitution protects us from the followers of Christ, not so in Iraq.
Yea, but Christians make up only 5% of the population. Get it? 40% of the refugees from 5% of the population.
The only seat the Christians were given was the head of the Department of Immigration. Kind of tells you something, doesn't it?
Would we have heard about it? NOT FROM BUSH!!!! Come on, give me some more. I have heard it all. Bush can't stop the Christians from Iraq posting their plight on the internet. When the candidates finally understand this problem, it will be big.
All Christian churches burned? Mate you are talking rubbish, Christians in Baghdad are still holding mass and celebrated last easter in the churches. Of course there is no doubt that minorities including Christians and many others like Yezidis, Saabites are being abused in Iraq, however this is by gangs and miltants, not a government policy. Also, I wonder where you got that 40% of Iraqi refugees are Christian? Sources please.
I sent you a half dozen sources that were mostly like this:
Iraq's Christian community says it is being targeted at an unprecedented level, in what some claim amounts to a campaign of genocide carried out under the noses of Iraq and U.S. forces.
At least 10 churches have been bombed this year,two leading clergymen have been killed, and scores of worshippers targeted. Christians comprise nearly half the two million refugees fleeing Iraq, according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
Perils of Iraq War will continue, How unfortunate that Tony Bliar lied in house of commons about Sadams WMDs & fear of UK getting attacked in 45 minutes?
He apologised to have lied,damage is done and perhaps on going.
Why not assign Tony Blair to be stationed in Iraqi Green zone,till he gets last NATO solder out of Iraq?
God McCain is such a douchebag. It's sad because I used to have respect for him before he aligned himself with the agenda of the Bush neo-cons and the international banking interests in the Federal Reserve.
Why is it so easy to believe that Bush is keeping the Iraqi government from attaining the capability to function independently while telling us the US can't leave because the Iraqis are not self-sufficient enough? Could it have to do with neocon imperialism? I don't understand how, given 7½ yrs of their BS, anyone can still assume that there is some level of deceit and treachery that is beneath Bush. Any presumption of truth he was once entitled to expired years ago.
we are hurting at home because our gov't and the corporations that control it don't know when to stop. Hell I'm all for just leaving IRaq, and just leav everything to the Iraqi people and the PMC's.
IRAN is a holy country...........
