Inside Iraq - Lessons of War - 03 Oct 08 - Part 1



Uploaded by: AlJazeeraEnglish
Video Description:
Inside Iraq asks what lessons the world has learnt more than five years into the American military misadventure in Iraq.
It is often said that history repeats itself. The Vietnam war in the 1960s, which dragged on for 14 years, is an almost direct parallel to the invasion of Iraq. The route to Baghdad, however, was far more complicated. The war split the western super powers and the UN. George Bush, the US pr
esident, and Tony Blair, the former British prime minister, were convinced that the UN's blessing was not necessary to invade Iraq, prompting Kofi Annan, the then secretary-general, to label it an illegal war. Critics charged that the biggest lesson of the war was the deception over Saddam's
supposed weapons of mass destruction. Our guest this week is Lord David Owen, a former British foreign minister.

Mlyjohn, we get that all the time,they never say U.S. GOVERMENT,it is always the U.S. or the Americans,like it is the American citizen who does all these things.And I point that I have made many times is that Aljazeera is anti-American and they will always pick people to interview that also is anti-American.You will never see them interview anyone [Irag citizen] that is glad that the U.S. came in and did away with Saddamm and his sons and now live a better life, [other than some places in Irag].

Let me ask everyone a question if another country came over to yours and killed your whole family would you give a fuck if it was the government or the people? Of course you wouldnt you would want their blood. The hate that you would feel would engross your whole being. Another thing the people of Iraq had a good life before all of this happened at least they had their families and friends. Ask yourself did Bush find the bombs? NO he did not and he made a joke about it! So what was this WAR for!

Suppresses your faith, does not offer u anything but wars, squanders the wealth of ur country and builds palaces for himself while ur family is dying from poverty and hunger, no medicine,no education no food but his palaces have golden doors? Is Iraqi oil wealth his property? ENJOY THE HELL SADDAM
Actually the ... ( 1 month ago by jerkinp)
Actually the majority of the Ameri/UK wanted war. The only didn't want to go AFTER they found out about the lies and the large amounts of coffins that were returning home. Everything from talk shows, newspapers, satellite news, cable news, online flash games all promoted invading Iraq. Numerous people on the streets of America were asked about their opinion and they stated that the U.S. should go to war! Athens voted to go to war with Sparta and Americans voted to goto War with Iraq. Democracy!

It is funny how this Lord Owen Fool talks about the horrors of the aftermath of the invasion and the brutality of Sadam. Nice of him to forget the crimes of the British when they occupied Iraq twice. Then he talks about the illigal no-fly zones and how Sadam was prevented from oppressing the Kurds when the Turks were invading Northern Iraq on a regular basis and wiping out entire villages.
Then this fool ... ( 1 month ago by somethingawful01)
Then this fool keeps talking about faulty intelligence in the hope he doesn't get called a warcriminal. He should be tried together with that Nazi Blair and hung for their crimes against humanity. Sadam was put in power to sell cheap oil and when he stopped doing that he became a problem and was removed. Whom are you going to impose on the Iraqi people this time you Nazi warcriminals? You should all burn for what you have done.

U know Khalid, In US in my country, we have white trash/hicks that still beleive that Saddam was behind 911. I guess with the same token v have your kind in M.E who after knowing the truth just doesnot want to beleive it. Did Saddam not commit massacares against Shias and Sunnis? Did he not invade Iran and then Kuwait? Did he not build gold palaces for himself while the rest of the Iraq was under sanctions, starving, running out of medicines? The Sunni govts around him helped in those sanctions.
