How Can We Have Sovereignty When We Don't Have Electricity or Water to Bathe? Iraqi Reporter on US Troop Pullback

In Iraq, a deadly car bomb in the northern city of Kirkuk has killed up to forty people and injured another 100. Tuesdays bombing came hours after US troops withdrew from major Iraqi towns and cities, marring celebrations on a day that is now officially declared as National Sovereignty Day, a public holiday. We go to Iraq to speak with Sahar Issa, an Iraqi reporter working with the Baghdad Bureau of McClatchy Newspapers. We also speak with investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill about his article, Iraqs National Sovereignty Day is US-Style Hallmark Hype. [includes rush transcript]

  • PLEASE. HELP. THOSE IN NEED. I am doing my part too.

  • fuck the west(christains) and Israel(jews) and Iran(shiaes)

  • Remember when you idiots told us that we couldn't win the war, It's all but won. Most of the insurgents doing this aren't even from Iraq and are wanting the democracy there to fail, that's why they are targeting civilians. You liberals were traitors to our country when you didn't support and understand the war when it happened, and this fake news on youtube is further an example of a population that believes that we can hug trees, kill unborn children, and ban smoking to make the world better.

  • Give me a break.. It has been reported that the CIA, Blackopps whatever the report is they brought in Al Queda or the Taliban to Iraq

  • The whole dynamic is presented in the MSM as the Parental US guiding the young child of Iraq.

    The Iraqi people are treated like stubborn children, not human beings

  • so true...

  • How about we inject some truth into it, and

    call it illegal occupation day? Or puppet government day?
