Caught In The Crossfire: The Untold Story of Fallujah Pt. 1

[Judyiack]

Manning doesn't mention that 7 months prior to this, Iraqis shot and killed four U.S. civilians, burned them, and then hung them from a bridge. The U.S. Marines came in and controlled 30% of the city until the U.S. ambassador of Iraq persuaded President Bush to pull back out of the city. A bad situation became worse by leaving. Finally got so bad Bush sent the Marines back in in November.

[Nooptu]

And the filmmaker Mark Manning?: He had most of his footage stolen via a US counter-intelligence operation almost literally moments after he stepped off the airplane on his return from Iraq (google it). If the US has nothing to hide about the murderous, psychotic rampage it engaged in while in Fallujah -- Why the effort to cover up what happened there via a counter-intelligence operation? Whatever happened to the "free press" (and other freedoms) the troops were supposedly fighting for?

[Nooptu]

What was the legacy of Fullajah?

!) A full-blown insurgency mainly led by Sunnis -- Forcing the US to empower the same group of Shiites who are the allies of Iran. The only thing now stopping Iraq from become a full blown satellite of Iran is the—in effect—permanent presence of US troops;

2) Thousands of US troops who have had their mind blown by the murderous carnage of Fullajah and similar "battles" (massacres) -- Now experiencing mental breakdowns, and committing dozens of suicides a month

[Nooptu]

The previous posts are by military psy-ops personnel.

1) The five mercenaries died because the US had annihilated 25 unarmed Iraqis the day before: The 5 were mercenaries (not US troops)- hired killers paid to roam a country not their own;

2) Fallujah residents didn't "allow" armed men into their homes: armed people go where they damn well please;

3) US terrorized Fullajah as a message --But it BACKFIRED: Iraq insurgency went into FULL gear after that & killed thousands of US troops.

[lovemywifegeet]

the civilians were used as human shields to protect the cowards (insurgents). now when the whole city what happy and dragging the bodies of Americans were you there to ask them what is the foreign policy for such act is?

[lovemywifegeet]

did you asked the question of the four contractors killed, burned and hanged to a bridge , footage showing the whole city chanting slogans cheers. why the whole city happy over there death? y did they treated them like this? did anyone cried like this lady crying over there dead bodies? no one gave a shit about them now they are crying WOW i am astonished at them. they got what they deserved what your camera didnt showed that these people were also keeping insurgents in there homes.

[James1toknow]

I posed this question the day it happened, referring to the twin towers, why? I came to the conclusion you don't fly planes into building just because you are jealous, or don't like a group of people. There had to be a very deep reason, there must be a very serious reason.

I have a theory, it is very in-depth and I can only say it sounds like what I call the Osama/ Hussein theory, It is focused around a double cross theory. And the plan worked.

[LIVEETERNALLOVE]

evil elitist liars manipulate public opinion, gaining support to carry out their agendas, which benefit their empires, at everyone else's expense.

[GaySingleMulatto]

I don't think terrorists attacked the United States. The U.S. attacked the U.S. Two planes struck, three towers collapsed? The pilot was ID'd by his found passport on the ground outside the World Trade Center? There is "no crashed plane in the field" according to eyewitnesses. Bush's brother was head of the World Trade Center building's security? There were blackouts where floors of the WTC were impassable while heavy equipment was heard. One day the truth will out, it always does.

[jeremytaylor5]

@GaySingleMulatto can u people stop with all these conspiracy theories. It happened just how it happened, live on every station. A 747 going 650mph is a missle with a lot a fuel people. There is no conspiracy!

[GaySingleMulatto]

@jeremytaylor5 Keep telling yourself that. You're going to feel very differently when the truth comes out, and it will. Thermite.

[teknowiz84]

@KalebvonDarkmoor Yea shit happens alright,  but hey, your only following orders. probably the only thing you can do in life cause your a tool bro

[teknowiz84]

this is why we are HATED as a country people! Time to bring em home

[teknowiz84]

the real question is : Would our own Troops fire on the Americans ?

[GCobra11B]

DARWINS THEORY

These "innocent people" had an opportunity to leave this damned city way before the assault. Those who stayed are to ignorant to live. Nature has a way to weed out the un-intelligant. Its reporting like this that makes the U.S. look bad. FUCK THIS STORY! and this reporter can suck donkey dick.

[SaintsSpecOps]

@GCobra11B

i hate to say it but where did they have to go? The best thing could've done was stay inside. WE should've built camps for them outside of fallujah, but this is war for them and it requires iraqi sacrifice

[aamorri1]

@SaintsSpecOps

What are you a Marine wannabe? They could've fled to Jordan.

[SaintsSpecOps]

@aamorri1

not really how could they get their, where would they stay? not all of them could've fled to jordan and you know how stuburn people are they didnt wnat to leave their homes

[aamorri1]

@SaintsSpecOps

Do whatever the hell you have to do to get out and into a safer location. I know people are stubborn and won't leave their homes. Katrina is another example.

[SaintsSpecOps]

@aamorri1

Its more their fault, they should have friends or family outside of fallujah they could stay with

[aamorri1]

@SaintsSpecOps

I take it you've never been to Fallujah or Anbar Province. US Military isn't going to waste manpower and Resources building Refugee camps in fucking Anbar Province!

[SaintsSpecOps]

@aamorri1

no, im not in the military yet

[4jai2brons0n]

Yep but no one really cares to look at what is really happening just the twisted numbers and freaks out and assumes troops want to go out and kill families.

[rmar1957]

i've never seen so many ignorant responses to serious questions posed on youtube since i've begun to view video clips on youtube. i seriously doubt that anyone would be jealous of such base, brute, lack of intelligence . . . even those who may never have seen the inside of a classroom.

[tiniancj]

shit happen all the time dude it is normal civilian will get caught all the time. it is true they are jealous of american freedom all the time cause we are better than them and they want us to become muslim country

[easyrhinotuber]

@tiniancj Jealous because you're better!!!??? LoL

[cherylz1]

This iraqi talking at the end, is describing what sadam hussein was doing to his country ... talking a lot of SHIT!!!!! this guy who made this video is a turncoat with the Flag behind him.... crying for the fricking terrorist... also cry for the Americans that died on 9-11.. you punk ass...

[3keeling3]

This fucking faggot talks so much shit about us with a fucking American Flag in the background for fucks sake. They should have shot his fucking head off right there and watched his blood splat all over the Amercan Flag. He deserves to be rapped by the Sunni.

[Stagnant197]

You should learn some words caveman. Face the facts while you`re at it.

Saddam DIDN`t have WMDs, which was why the US attacked, or at least that`s the lie they sold to the media.

He DIDN`t have anything to do with 9/11, and neither did Bin Laden, and if you don`t believe me check out the FBI homesite where you will see that he isn`t wanted for 9/11. Noone is.

[kmakowsk]

war is not wrong dumbass...war is only wrong when not justified....these islamic extremists use murder and intimidation on their fellow countrymen to terrorize people and they had to be stopped....read a fucking book on this war that not liberal infused to get a real account of the voilence by Al Qaeda in Iraq...dont get info from liberal boneheads like this guy

[muds4u]

America is not stupid is is very well knowledgble of what goes on The New World Order will conquer and divide, with the help of media and news you will submit ur life to these zionist bastards. Just think bout it Bush would rather look stupid and fuckin idiotic the way the world takes the piss out of him than to face up to realy what he did and what he got away with.

[muds4u]

wow even if ur white and telling the truth its hard,

[GoHappyMan]

fuck those stupid ass sand niggers fuck THEM!!!!!!!!!

[chrstsldr]

thank you Ryz666 for posting this film.

I saw Mark speak here in my hometown.

I am so sad for my country. we all have the blood of innocents on our hands.

[chadhertz]

so how many soldiers have you seen raping there women. haha how about none. this is a piece of shit movie and anyone who believes this shit is stupid.

[terimadip]

Seriously you fucken bastards making up all this bullshit don't have a clue of what the fuck is going on down there. You guys just suck the medias dick and take all piss they give you. This war is a joke and the only people who can talk about it is the soldiers. You read a paper and you think u know what teh fuck is going on but Bush has mislead you cocksuckers and succeeded in making you think the war is a counter-attack. I went over there for the thrill of fighting not for that fucken monkey.

[terimadip]

flyfishnepa you fucken cunt your names says it all you fucken pussy eating little internet shit talking little bitch. You should be killed in front of your mother while she gets raped. If I ever got the chance I would take a hacksaw cut a hole in ur stomach rip out our intestines and hang you with them. Then I would get your dad to fuck your corpse and I would shoot him in the back of the head and dump both of your bodys in the sewer. You pussies talk shit when were over there shedding blood.

[AbdullahAlShakur]

Iraq Had Nothing To Do With 9/11

[chadhertz]

obviously idiot everyone knows that

[flyfishnepa]

third, after sept. 11 why the F**K would you sit back and ask your self why did these "sweet and caring" people attack us and what were they feeling when they attacked us, gimme a damn break. thank god this country hasn't totally turned into a bunch of sensitive/psychologist paying pu**ys yet. who gives a flying f**k what happens to this worthless race of people. they've been fighting for the past 2000 years. this guy's a joke and so is this film.

[flyfishnepa]

wow, talk about garbage. first he talks about the thousands of civilians caught in the crossfire, where the heck are they, i see the same 10 people for a total of 25 seconds. second the U.S. didn't attack fallujah they attacked the terrorists using fallujah as a safe haven to build ied's and plan ambushes on our soldiers.

[shinjason]

wow nice. adding explosions and replaying the iraqi womans voice over and over again. what a piece of shit video

[ehunter2]

Yawn..another teenage rebel thinking he is profound by saying black is white. Clue Timmy...you're rebellion is a predictable and wrong as a Michael Moore film. Oh wait, you got your "facts" from Michael Moore.

Now back to your bong..okay?

[ehunter2]

Another piece of lunatic left wing propaganda.

[LADBROKE2007]

America, the least educated people in the western world.. FACT!

[ehunter2]

Oh you mean because they dont repeat your

socialist drivel?? Hmmm? The most technically advanced, most politcally successful, the most culturally dynamic country inthe world..and its "uneducated"?

Moron.

[LADBROKE2007]

Great technology?? All used on Military hardware.(99% worlds technology developed in the EAST. FACT.) Not in America! FACT! Politically successfull, mmm, if you mean by invading and trying to destabilise countries, (Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, Grenada, Venuezuela, Somalia etc..) This Moron agrees!! Culturally dynamic?? What happen'd to the real AMERICANS?? Are there any left? Wiped out by a people that are so "culturally dynamic!!" I won't talk about the blacks n' hispanics. Moron! =)

[jimaap]

Gee-when I 'walked' the streets of Fallujah from Oct 2004-April 2005, I do not recall seeing any civilians roaming around. In fact, there were none. Manning has either a political agenda or is just a blatant liar. I suppose the reason the media largely ignored this incredible story is because even they saw it for what it was-nonsense.

[urbmeister]

this is the work of the natural selector under the name : G.W. Bush

sieg heil US moran!

[MarcinP2]

I have impression that the reporter does not know there are Sunni Shiites and Kurds. He just keeps going "Iraqui people". :/

Now who exactly is "Iraqui people"? I only see sunnis speaking in the video.

[rickims63]

People like this asshole should be hung for treason. Fuck those camel jockeys.

[peterm3964]

These civilians were given EVERY OPPORTUNITY to leave they chose to stay in a city which was an insurgent stronghold . whilst I feel compassion for these and others in the same situation , they should have taken the opportunity to leave . By not leaving they gave the enemy advantage and do dont deserve the suympathy of Us soldiers

[achinoy]

What goes around comes around...Americans should realise that some people might feel bad and appalled by what happened in fallujah, but when one day America is attacked in a similar fashion, there would be no one with any sympathy for them.

[JC85cap]

well I'm sorry buddy but when 9/11 happened the whole world gave us "our condelences". What goes around comes around. We're massacring these terrorists. Iraq may not have had any relevence to 9/11 but the terrorist organizations are still there today, and it is in our goal of our War on Terror to defeat them! For the U.S., the western world, and for every other country on this planet, we all deserve freedom along with democracy, no tyranny, we try to keep most of those assholes out of buisness.

[quabot]

Fallujah was liberated by coalition forces after it was attacked and overrun by insurgents. I talked to the residents, who reported horrible abuses by insurgents. Why doesn't he talk about how the insurgents looted the city treasury, and threatened to kill all the Egypytians (brought in for labor by Saddam) there after they killed the Americans?

[csanchez54]

It's just incomprehensible how soldiers from the USA celebrate, get excited how they destroy houses, buildings, mesquites that have a value for the culture of Iraq, and these motherfuckers just set bombs as if they were setting color bulbs in their own houses.

Some day, these maniac murderers will pay, that's for sure.

[worldiesyt]

Why are the average Americans apparently incapable of coherent non-juvenile analysis and introspection?

They invariably come across as YEEE HAAA BUFFOONS of the lowest caliber.

This is at the heart of the problem.

[llancech46]

"I did this because I wanted to give the Iraqis side of this battle." BULL$%^# this guy is trying to make money like anyone else. And if you think americans commit atrocites, Iraqi insurgent and Foreign terrorist forces in Iraq, for example AQI(Al Queda in Iraq) kill civilians by the hundreds. THIS IS FACT!!! STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT AMERICAN MILITARY USING EXCESSIVE FORCE!!!

[lawofthegun]

no, we won't stop complaining because the great us of a behaving like the people they so eagerly condemn is simply not acceptable!

[shannonkringen]

thanks for telling the story. i want to know the truth. i am against war and i want the usa out of iraq.

[Kangvanephay]

I was in Fallujah as a Marine.. i wasnt in the battle but i was there during the aftermath. I feel so shitty for the people but again i dont cuz they brought it on themselves. It was a stronghaven for the Insurgents of iraq.

[shlubby]

Without getting into detail were there any war crimes commited by the insurgents and the marine's?

[hugochavesj]

you stupid. They are poor people, many don't have where to go! So a lot of people couldn't simply leave!

Many women & children were killed, so they were sentenced to death for being stubborn, right? Is that fair?

MURDERS!

[andjusticeforrob]

How about how the entire population of civilians were instructed to flee the city long before the invasion? Anyone who was left behind was just being stubborn and just made it harder for us to do our job. If any innocent Iraqi civilians were harmed, then that's why it would have happened.

[six8fbird]

I Myself was in Al-Fallujah during Operation Al-fajr, (Was called Phantom Fury in it's early planning stages but later changed to Al-Fajr) which it means "New Dawn". I am not here to agree or disagree with what should of happened, but your facts on the Fallujah people fighting for there city is incorrect. I can only speak for our AO, (Area Of Operations). There were more than the 150 insurgents you say in just our AO,

[danr9595]

I was in Fallujah. It was the biggest harbor of insurgency with people living in fear of insurgents everyday. The city was evacuted. The population there was basically told, if you're staying & want a fight we'll bring it. There was no "innocent people", it was a ghost town, except for insurgents & a few holdouts.

Where do you get your facts? Same size as Cincinatti... uhhh.. NO! This is the most one sided reporting ever.

You sir are an idiot.

[LimaCo325]

Of course it is. He might as well be working for Al Queda or Iran for all I'm concerned. He fails to mention the numerous torture chambers throughout the city. It was the same city Berg was forced onto camara and decapitated. Did the reporter include this in his piece? Of course not.

[monks311]

the sound effects on some of the video is addet of is chust fake why chust but the real thing and sound and ho is this guy. sorry for my spelling

[shaktimandan]

I wish more people in the US would wtach films like this and start to gain some kind of knowledge of why the US is going so badly wrong with its foreign policy.

[LimaCo325]

I spent 2 tours there. We have improved the lives of many over there. Of course watching CNN, MSNBC you'd never know that. The media these days insists on concentrating on the few violent areas of the country. Just like Dan Rather and his phony baloney insistance he was a Marine (dropped out before he graduated Boot Camp but he'll never tell you that)the American people will be force fed negative stories from the War in Iraq. This is as much of a pr war as it is 'boots on the ground' war.

[Pogsquog]

actually, cincinnati has a population of 300,000 - the same as fallujah (prior to the seiege).

[NavyChaps1]

Fallujah is not even close to the size of Cincinnati. Do you have any idea of the number of civilians in the city that were helped by the Iraqi and coalitions forces? Why didn't you mention that?

[BadKarma556]

Because it's an inconvienent truth. To the left, America is always wrong, the cause of all the ills of the world. I was in Desert Storm 1991 and we kicked the shit out of the Republican Guard. Our battalion was the spearhead into Kuwait. No civillians were killed by us. All were unifirmed armed troops, poorly trained. Kuwait would be Iraq's bitch if it were not for the Marines and all those who served. Iraq was threat. We will see how things turn out.

[JigaBert35]

well,i think u r wrong about america being the cause of al the worlds ill's.yes,some uf us love to hate them,but there are MANY other folks who do terrible things too

[BadKarma556]

No I don't think America is wrong. I think America is the light of the whole wold. The leftist commies and anarchists think this way. I fought in Desert Storm 1991, I knew it wasn't over then, and it's won't be over for decades to come.

[BeastofTorrejon]

light of the world?? what is so great that we should force it on the rest of humanity? our torture? our frauded elections? our corrupt corporations? our need to wage war on those who aren't acting 'right'? our need to wage eternal war?

if we're the beacon of light, the world is FUCKED.

[BadKarma556]

The Marine Corps is my other family. We need to take the gloves off and kick the shit out of them, even if it means depopulating the entire region, and I mean depopulate!This is the survival of Western Civilization. Europe is lost. America stands alone! Expose the left for who they really are and quick or it's all gone.

[helonic]

I have the impression you don`t know where Europe is.

[OperationNorthwoods]

Only 24% of USA knows

[Mefdet]

one day other will depopulate you, dont you worry scumbag !

[Mefdet]

one day others will depopulate you, dont you worry scumbag !

[whatever9893]

depopulate the entire region? May I ask what you did to deserve being born where you were and not in Iraq? And why Iraqi children deserve to die in the name of American interests? These are people that you are talking about. People just like you. No difference.

[JigaBert35]

This goes out to anyone who feels that the americans are a bunch of murduring bastards,read the rape of nanking,just type it in,i dare ya.read the whole thing too.imagine if they didnt end ww2 that way,and is someone else developed something first.can u imagine??

[BadKarma556]

Amen! And don't forget Berlin in 1945 when the Russians took over.

[mcvideofreak]

At last, thank you.
