[mrcheeky112]

iraq will prosper....... by any means!

[mralarm2]

But, from what I seen to this point, I don't think so...

[mralarm2]

I hope he's right!.

[MyFatherMolestsMe]

I sure wish Eric would stop molesting me.

[Inmate527]

I'll believe it when I see it.

[David12King]

You'd think the CEO of Google could afford a fashion designer or something. Green tie, blue shirt, and khaki pants :)

[MtSiredneck]

dude with out our pressence over there that goverment wont last the whole situation over there is fubar as soon as we leave the new iraqi army wont stand a chance

[rogerioctbacwb]

911 was an internal job. See "ZeitGeist" film.

[kubruk]

sifi movies becoming real.. Eric Schmidt has so many private information for all governments, he is going to use them against countries including USA and going to become the new world leader.. and we are all going to be his slaves, our wifes will be his whores..

[EnjoyVideos99]

FAKE!!

[jettbugg]

...We are tired of disrespectful users on Youtube, so why add more?

[plm123456123]

Y didn't he blow up? He was in iraq...

[1chichimec1]

It's so nice of America to help the Iraqi's.This helping hand begs the question:..What if there was "NO oil" would the Americans still be as gracious?

[IraqSpirit]

Brilliant, thanks to Google and the Iraqi Gov :)

[canisdormit]

why is this in my subscription box?

[tuberpie68]

Iraqis won't find out what their government is up to; that's what an INDEPENDENT press is for! They'll find out what their government wants to tell them, just like with ALL government organs, in ALL countries, All through history!

[tuberpie68]

PS; I subscribe to about 6 U.S. government YT channels, & I know that I still need to consult SEVERAL non-government channels before I have even  ½ a clue about what my government is up to!

[mhzextreme2004]

@tuberpie68 There is independent press in Iraq, this page is for the public announcements of the Iraqi government, the official channels are being very partisan at this moment, and independent press depends on personal opinions, which is great, but this channel will tell us what the politicians have to say directly from their offices. that is all, and it's worth saying that in Iraq, it is really hard find what they really said unless you see them say it.

[TheKnightsofwar210]

Now I know the CEO of Google

[Argon165]

Modern society = american society. Enblarge your horizon.

[langerCAN]

*enlarge

But yes, American Society has become the standard worldwide now...

[Argon165]

@langerCAN Well, we all know how they got.

[Argon165]

@christogarcia Most american aren´t so honest.

[mnegri79]

Patronizing?? Probably not, but since you only displayed images of you speaking to Iraqi officials and never listening to them, it somehow gives the impression that youre patronizing them..

Besides this, thanks a lot for your involvement in helping the people from Iraq

[NiteAngel]

lollolol i get to see what a real CEO looks like, these are the guys and of course Bankers that are sucking this country wealth down the drain

[Alvin691]

Remember Iraq, transparency and open-ness means keep your eye on the government. They will do things right in the open and you won't even notice. Hold them to your constitution NOW.

[mparker18311]

Even if you agree with this video, I urge you to one star it. It really throws me off guard to find that google has subscribed to their sponsors for me. I didn't subscribe to see this, please leave the "YOU" in YOUTUBE, Google! Or I'm going to start calling it Gootube.

[coolbho3000]

I haven't been subscribed to anything. Check to see if someone else is using your account.

[GeminiAzules]

the media is controlled by the Iraqi govt. will REAL civilians have access to the channel?

[Jaimetud]

That does kinda raise an eyebrow, doesn't it?

[ReliableInsider]

I think a dialogue can take place between a government channel that touts all of the incumbent administration's virtues and a fiercely independent news media channel that investigates and exposes all of the administration's flaws/mistakes.

Theoretically.

[ReliableInsider]

If you're poor and want democracy, buy a good newspaper. If you're rich and want democracy, PUBLISH a good newspaper.

We all have a role to play in providing the funding needed to make journalism possible.

[ReliableInsider]

Are there -any- news channels anywhere on YouTube actually covering what's going on inside of Iraq right now?

Post their channel names here.

[GeminiAzules]

If so they aren't in English. Which is the language I speak.

[ReliableInsider]

Come on, folks.  The silence is deafening.

No journalism, no democracy.

No democracy, no freedom.

[EziixPked]

there will be english subtitles available im sure.

[jettbugg]

...Will it be truthful or hateful? I guess we will find out if Iraq has substance. I don't trust them....

[whiskersneighbour]

a step

[wildbloodydragon]

I hope the Iraqi gov can work things out the right way. A real democracy.

Very optimistic expectation, but hoping doesn't hurt.

[its0Nah]

That is amazing. Google is our friend.

[ReliableInsider]

The channel Eric mentions is

youtube . com/iraqigov

but the link in the sidebar is

youtube . com/iraq

[ReliableInsider]

Hey, you fixed the link. Excellent.

That was quick.

I wish there were something Eric could do to remind people that there is a non-political side of Iraq, such as it's rich cultural history as one of the cradles of civilization.

[321e]

it's been shortened, it says

youtube . com/iraq...
