[r9i9a9p3]

by the way, for those who don't know who Abu Risha was, he was killed 3 days after aljazeera uploaded this video which was on 13 sep 2007.

may Allah burn him in hell forever.

[coolzero87]

[paltalkx]

I can't respect people like that, it takes a pimp to do what that guy did.

[glooook1]

الصحفي أزعجه بالأسئلة

فأراد ممازحته وقال له الدقيقة بمائة دولار

الرجال يمزح

[StormyDarkSky]

يقول عند 6:25 خلص وقتهم وذا يبي زياده القيقة ب مئة دولار..يعني زي تلفون العملة ما يتكلم الا بفلوس يا عيني على الوطنية وتحرير الوطن

[itsacorporatething]

I'm very glad that their is less violence in iraq recently. Although this peace seems like a house of cards. It looks more like various actors are positioning themselves so that they can have power after America is forced to leave. Robert Fisk described the situation as various power groups/militias have control of different sectors of the country, the american army and marines just another militia.

[johndinfidel]

He may now be dead but he live in his people and they are destroying al Qaida!

You english speaking westerners who work for al Jazzerah are TRAITORS!

[AbuMarwan23]

lol, he has no people. he was a fake.

[reluctantpopstar]

I wonder how many people watching this got the Apocalypse Now references. Very well done piece.

[Vierotchka]

"Lawrence of Arabia"?? LOL! Totally inept comparison - this American officer obviously hasn't even seen the film, let alone know the history and life of T. E. Lawrence.

[Vierotchka]

Fancy that! The USA obliged to pay protection money and paying it to the wrong racketeer!

[Vierotchka]

No wonder Bush associated with Risha - birds of a feather...

[mst3k4evur]

Two great men standing against murderous bigoted zealots!

[nen4usa]

I hope they look up what we did to the Indians that made treaties with us.

[toshiba75]

Thank God he got rid of Abu Risha.

[MontySlab]

I purpose that we are no longer safe. Peaceful protest is no longer useful. Our government will redress our grievances. They have become tyrannical.

[MontySlab]

I mean our government will NOT redress grievances.

Today, on the front page of CNN US. OJ Simpson's arrest. Tomorrow, Britney Spears. Who are these jerks who hijacked my country?

[aout159]

هاهم جاؤوك في منزلك ، وأطاروك كالريشة ، فلتهنأ أمة فيها مثل أولئك الرجال !

[yusafali]

risha scum rot in hell

[mst3k4evur]

God loves men like Abu Risha. People like you and the child killing, torturous mass murderers of Al Qeada will find a different reception in the afterlife. You will be hollowed out and used as a propylactic by demons.

[alqatary81]

at 6:25 one of the sheikh sayed :time is up for talking for the Amarecans ..if they want me to talk more the price is us 100 for every minut

[veryverybadwolf]

Your tax dollars at work.

[alqatary81]

هههه يقول عند 6:25 خلص وقتهم وذا يبي زياده القيقة ب مئة دولار..يعني زي تلفون العملة ما يتكلم الا بفلوس يا عيني على الوطنية وتحرير الوطن

[lidoz]

My god bless the soal of abu-reasha and damn all of those who made a ghose out of him!

[noisraeliapartheid]

republicans have turned the world into Reagan's El Salvador.

[gsmith64]

a ghost was blown up today. a disney character with a $75 million contract. bush mentioned abu risha in his speech to sell the surge. if you are arming two sides in a civil war you are selling a genocide. it won't be long before we iraq under control.genocide always works.

[dubaipet]

It is so sad that the guy named ABU RESHA was killed after this video ...

[AbuMarwan23]

''In 5 days time, I will return to Iraq, and I will be in my house in Ramadi. And to the terrorists, I say that I will be in Anbar in 5 days, And if they want to see me, I am ready for them.''

He got killed today. LOL

[AbuMarwan23]

''In 5 days time, I will return to Iraq, and I will be in my house in Ramadi. And to the terrorist, I say that I will be in Anbar in 5 days, And if they want to see me, I am ready for them.''

He got killed today. LOL

[AbuMarwan23]

''In 5 days time, I will return to Iraq, and I will be in my house in Ramadi.

And to the terrorist, I say that I will be in Anbar in 5 days, And if they want to see me, I am ready for them.''

He got killed today. LOL

[jlsHouston]

Good reporting I wish for peace to come to the Iraqi people and all our soldiers return home. Bin Laden was with the Taliban in Afghanistan, not in Iraq with Sadaam. I believe the surge of troops has lessoned the death toll, but there is still no political solution. In the 4th largest city in the US there are alot of ghetto areas and I still feel safe in 5th ward, but on the best streets of Baghdad, who feels safe.

[krahe1]

This video discredit the Patreaus report. Great reporting.

[NO2amnesty]

A+ for excellent camera work. The tribes did get together in Taji, which was very dangerous given the forces opposing them.

[Bretttido]

Good reporting; it puts US media to shame.

[thebigaym]

The fact that this U.S. officer mentions "Lawrence of Arabia" in a favorable light shows either the ignorance of the United States army or that the United States sees itself as the new colonial power.

[waltlantz]

I must disagree with that, if you want to get a good view of what's happening internatioinally, the BBC does a good job covering all fronts. Theyve talked about pakistan, darfur and many other places much more often then american news has.

[kalvinphil]

So we went over there and just took all of their rights away? huhy....sounds familiar.

[waltlantz]

Do you know how dangerous this is to the government? It's like the CNN effect times ten. America won't show this channel in our country because pro-war people will seize on it as demorilazing and unsupportive of the U.S. effort. Hell, only major news org that broadcasted the Senate hearings was NPR. The rest were buried on cable news sites, youd think that the big three would at least air the hearings due to the importance, but no.

[mimeNo9]

If you get GlobeCast Satellite TV, you can get Al Jazeera International (English) and like 100+ free to air channels. There's no contract or monthly fees, but just a one time charge for the equipment and installation. I'm wondering if I should get it...

[silver2727]

great reporting... amazing looking coverage. nicely done david.

[as23we12]

The information isn't really informative. That things are complicated by agendas, is pretty much a given. The situation is simple only in terms of the Americans propensity for slick Hollywood endings. It's unfortunate that people don't live in a re-run of I love Lucy....If you want the truth.....you have to go there and find it.

[Homefront]

Great information. It's too bad we don't get this news and analysis from mainstream US media. I have to read my news about Iraq and foreign issues from The Irish Times and watch BBC news to learn what's going on in the name of my country.

[Andoseroby]

BBC news is no better than CNN
