 A lot of people don't understand the way we see things, but we see things on a daily base. You'll find an Iraqi in Africa, you'll find an Iraqi in South America, you'll find an Iraqi in Australia and New Zealand. I have cousins that are in Australia and New Zealand. That's where we are today. We can't go back. I haven't gone back to Iraq since 2003. I'm not able to go back to Iraq because I'm Sunni and I'm from Mosul originally. I'll probably be kidnapped at the airport as soon as I arrive and then tortured and killed at the hands of the police. The policies that were put in place were wrong. They were misguided. They may have not been misguided, they may have been purposely put in, but they have ended in complete disarray and complete wipeout of any social fabric that's left in Iraq. You remember back in 2003 we didn't have electricity? Well, today we don't have electricity. And billions have been spent. There were sanctions. There were rules, regulations, all sorts of things that were crippling, intentionally crippling the system so it doesn't advance, so it doesn't get upgraded. What's holding you today? Corruption, Iran, the stooges that the Americans have put in place, and the ones that they continue to work with. The ones that they continue to work with, that's the problem. There was constant lies of the portrayal that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. That Iraq posed a threat to its neighbors. Had Iraq killed the Kurds, or just to make this as brief as possible, we had an eight-year long war trying to defend our borders, even though the West portrayed it as an act of aggression from Iraq to Iran, who was actually the opposite. It was clear then that the Americans had a plan to weaken both countries as much as they can. Iraq and Iran, so they were pumping information to one, pumping weapons to the other, and having them go through a proxy war so they can just end their both countries. I think it was by May of 1991, we had finalized all destruction of all chemical and biological and whatever remnants of any nuclear plan we had back then. And the hope was that we will go back to rebuilding the country. And Iraq, during all these years, kept saying we had nothing. They kept coming out, and I remember Blair coming out saying, well, so don't lie, no, you lied. The tipping point, I believe, the tipping point that changed everything from a sanctions regime to an all-out war was when Iraq or Saddam himself declared that he wanted to sell oil in euros. So when Brever came in, he basically dismantled the intelligence, the police, the security forces, and the army. So disbanding all of these based on the debatification process. That was actually a suicidal move and the repercussions as you can see to the day. Everyone that was working within these agencies and has become, has been crossed out, is now working against. Now some of these people have gone into mafias, so they're using their intelligence or their killing skills or their whatever skills for the mafia and for the warlords that each one now has and controls within the country. Others went into organizations like ISIS and Al-Qaeda and Zarqawi and all that. And others formed their own militias. That was a death sentence that Bremer signed. It was basically a death sentence for Iraq because that's going to be in complete chaos. But it's also the end for American control in the area. The Americans come back and say, well, you've got democracy, you can vote in, vote out. That's absolutely nonsense. The elections are all rigged. Al-Qaeda, when he won, I think it was about seven or eight years ago, when he won the elections, America stood by, Iran didn't accept him and forced, allowed him to step down and for al-Maliki to continue. That was just absolutely nonsense. That's why people have just lost any faith. Jamal Ibrahim, this guy, when Iraq's government was toppled, he came in and he became a parliamentarian, a lawmaker in Iraq, he's Iranian, he's a terrorist, and he became a lawmaker in Iraq under the noses of Bremer and the US forces. You have others that come out and openly, openly support sectarian killing, parliamentarians, lawmakers that openly support sectarian killing. How can you have a system that runs so corruptly and no one cares what you think about? We are as bad, if not worse than a Mugabe regime. How does that make any sense? It's the most corrupt country on earth today. No, when Obama came and he was even worse, eight years of Obama was complete destruction. These are the lies. The lies that America has portrayed, Iraq has changed its democracy now and they're having all sorts of problems internally, but that's something internal. You've caused this problem. You've caused this rip in the fabric, the social fabric of the country. You've brought in people and you've supported illegitimate people that have come in and have taken over, and these were enemies of the state of Iraq back in the 1980s and 1990s, and they're now running the country. Today, Iraq is broke. The prime minister was also part of the Dawah party, and so it's part of the problem to begin with, but Maliki before that and now are declaring that there's no money left. They're borrowing from the World Bank. They don't have money to pay the salaries. Others have gone six months, 10 months without salaries because there's just not enough money. You want to use double standards and you justify the war at one stage because it fits your agenda, but now it doesn't really matter, so you don't care and you want to take it off the airway so that people don't think about it and don't bother with it. That's a different thing. These are the lies, and where are we now?
