he'll many seek us with him to the grave. but she further democracy shall be safe if she's human until you don't build a democracy on human sacrifices. but when you hang saddam and lynch gadhafi, if that's exactly what you're doing, we french are well aware of this. we beheaded a king, but generally that doesn't work. it turns out very badly. it took us 150 years to recover. ah, 3 and a half years after their arrival in iraq, the 150000 coalition soldiers appear completely out of their depth. and become perpetrators themselves is every iraqi an enemy a modest solomon. john i was a fireman, alicia. i saw terrible things. they must look at the farmer than

i had the hardest to con, no document in mosul, a tank had ran into a car. the last article for gradually for the woodside been mac will amelia father? i'm with an mother and a boy of about 9 years old. yeah, we're all dead a long while of all ton. while it might have been on both sides and 0, one child survived on rich mother's legs like a kind sought to filter, thus lu embers den. when the tongue drove over them, she protected the child ja, him, and saw the larger liam hullabaloo, dots of damn her. we were able to save it upon an animal, could hope of phones, the americans method, 2nd orderly, and still get dominant columbia on a affinity

mental moshe whole business was mishandled committee just as it was in vietnam and somalia before and in afghanistan still longer. if you go to war, you need to have a plan and goals and get the americans had neither and were caught up in something they couldn't manage for you. ah, when president bush asked me directly, we were in the oval office. what i thought the situation was like in baghdad, and at that time i just told him mister president, it is hell and baghdad. mm. certainly by the period of 2006, i was seeing him on a near daily basis. he said to me, megan, you know, i'm looking to you to tell me what we can do to improve the situation in iraq. but i'm also looking to you to tell me if we're unable to do that. so i recognized we

needed a change in strategy and we needed to resource that strategy and that required more troops in just under 30000 more soldiers fly to iraq for operation search under the command of general portray us ah, to the strategy sounds straight forward to crush the insurgencies. appalled by the coalitions failures the general works for 18 months. and the pentagon gives him a free hand to hire and train his units in the us. we actually took rocky americans arabic speakers and hired them. and we had hundreds of what were termed roll players. some others were clerics. we had some

that worse iraqi security forces. we had insurgence, they were suicide bombers with hollywood special effects. ah, you had everything to the extent that we could replicate it there in this enormous training area at the national training center in the mojave desert, we did everything we possibly could to stabilize the situation in iraq. david betray us, wants to change the soldiers mindset. they shouldn't perceive only rockies as a threat. and we would actually look for the areas in baghdad based on metrics that we had in these geographic depictions that would show where the violence is the highest. and we would put our troops right in the center of that to try to separate the militia. and the sunni insurgents will follow them. but up all about that,

the last month of what we divided baghdad up into 11 zones. liquid them each was given an entrance and an exit and sailed off with concrete blocks re this limited the terrorists movements. the designs were cleared until baghdad was secured. we recaptured baghdad. thought of mal, i'm enfeebled, done. the 1st phase of the plan to stop the interfaith war, the 2nd, to destroy al qaeda. to do this, david betray us and murray, alma, leaky enter into a pact with their former opponents. the sunni insurgents. powerful sunni clans pledge to fight against al qaeda. they joined forces to form a militia, the software or awakening and who work on the lot of a sword, the more tiara america. the suffer wasn't an american. this is one of some of it

was the tribes themselves. whoa, are to little ha, will they decided to fight the terrorists who were killing me intellectually in the nations provinces began to learn cathartic. amelia, it was the been when arthur young o'connor nudge. laconia strategy wordly chuckles, said he, a terrorist groups quickly disappeared and remedy whole marty sharla, pin and motor horses. yeah, near, they withdrew to desecrate them. a gun like us while we ate was with your thumb. we and central regions and the north calm is restored. but battles still rage in the south following the withdrawal of british troops in basra rival, she has lock horns. it's milk the doll saunter against the iraqi army at stake, control of the city and was selected that he here,

molded it up in basrah is the port of the economy linda, oil of iraq. allah, whoever controls, basrah controls. the wealth of iraq. latino locked in. abandoning the city to a band of militiamen is not an option. if the prime minister loses basra, all his credibility is gone. normally, key flies to the front. la moda had on a weekly oral calmly or was it a default when we landed in basrah? rockets were being fired everywhere. the battle went on for 8 days. the house where i was staying was hit by miss isles. plenty of hot donna. it'll be here till the animal would be mother woodman. i've caught him on board. the saddle was my security adviser was killed right in front of it. tilly, honestly alice helped a lot of the americans did for my life and wanted to bring me to safety. and i said,

are out of the question. i'll leave basrah either dead or victorious. so emma and i'll as other o media in baghdad, claim the triumph is 100 percent iraqi. in reality, u. s. air support made it possible or fell and submit a follow up in a lot. what is on the open, the showed up, we force the arms groups back home and regained control of the street to saw. horrible little demolition. fled to iran, so the daughter holy lot, you're on, the iranians asked me what to do with them, hon. and you know, to the total, i said, keep them about iraq with iran had supported them off to roll with a little look why didn't on it, it will it off. what ah,

when al qaeda was hummel's so spectacularly. and when the approach towards the she, a militia was so effective in basically forcing the she of militia to give up its military capacity. when those 2 things happened, we saw i drop in the violence. and so you had different configuration of politics that really suggested iraq was moving beyond a place where everything was going to be defined by sectarianism. that created some really hopeful politics. mm. but anti american anger shows no signs of fading. cucumbers 0 ah, in the arab world, a shoe was

a dirty and degrading object. thrown by any rocky journalist as george w bush prepares to leave office. ah, my disability. my no one likes the american muslim women, none the bomb. they didn't come to liberate me from a repressive regimes that claimed la will bring me democracy, hardly a freedom of steel walk latavia on a life ah, in january 2009 barack obama becomes america's 44th president. one of his main campaign pledges to pull us troops out of iraq operation. iraqi freedom is over. ah, early 2011 sees the start of the arab spring. several dictators are toppled. any rocks, neighbor, syria, bashar, allah, sod olds on in

et cetera. he essentially embodied the worse in iraqi politics and the poisons spread from bear onwards. ah, now i am the director of the cia and i arrive in a moment of incredible turmoil because the prime minister has pursued charges against the sunni arab vice president, the senior sunni member of the iraqi government. and all of the sunni leaders are in this one house, which has a tank cannon from the iraqi security forces pointed at it. hey, thought a little how he had a whole slender macolwitz's sunni. le, let's, it could be a la giuliani's, were mounted and detained to jan. tens of thousands of people arrested without valid rays and l'm, katie, a sectarian wall, was declared on them with the support of iran and its allies to little mcneil, it was a war against democracy. how about a demo?
