mapped out shows the geo political reality. the on the board is what makes things 2 ways a mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the mnemonic, i mean, which i don't want to show my face because of the situation in the country. no. but as far as the voices of the groups allowed within the governments, so in a rocky should always be careful because it's not a point. how do we we are told that we needed to bring democracy to iraq in excess of evil farming to threaten the peace of the world. i remember george w bush making a joke. look around his office for weapons of mass destruction like opening desk

drawers cabinets, hulu. not here is saddam hussein who is definitely a dictator on the beginning. people weren't happy to be free. as a sniper, people are just trying to hosp blobs so white. it's hard to see what they're holding or carrying as killed people, planning bombs and bearing the ambush our troops. but i've also killed people changing their tire on their car. is that really anyone who wouldn't fight for the sake of the country? that's impossible. the, the us described operations in iraq as a war, justified under international law, and deployed hundreds of thousands of soldiers to the region on deceitful pretences . how has that affected those who were put on the front lines risking their lives

for a lie to the building is 10 with not that's not. how do we efficient during the war in 2003, around the middle to end of march? i went to my uncle's house because the roads were close to several other strikes.

you're very welcome. so for you to put in my car to get to it now and it was i found them eating rice and dates. there was no place to get food or bridge in the morning and nothing was available. i couldn't walk who debacle. show what was the other push? i'm i'm wondering as not to have just started. he's now me when rocket style and if the governor's office and robin a few, something. com, the supplement titles kind of a heavy rocket struck me a bunch of junk. what is going on with girlfriend in the hall? i was so scared that i started eating, but he carried on to my diet and when i told him, don't you care for? so he told me every 10 minutes there was a mix up and what i'm thinking is inevitable. but texting me at hotmail one more time. the

see when you're magic, you see people, you see human beings, i remember one guy came through and i just kept looking at him. he was dying right in front of me. and he was an american soldier. all i could think about was my grandfather because he was that age. he was somebody's grandfather it was that was really hard of as probably

one of the hardest patients i worked on. because i already knew that that family is going to lose a father and grandfather an uncle, a brother just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. he was just an innocent bystander. i was not a very good shot in basic training. so it's interesting that eventually i became a sniper, they were clear and become bad. they're trying to fling me my position and i predicted where they were going to move and waited for them. and as soon as they got out in the open, i pulled the trigger down and i was filled with a sense of satisfaction. like i did it, you know, i was watching this guy

a shot and he wasn't dead cuz he was on his back and he was arches back like spinning like, kicking with his feet and spinning in a circle and just in pain. and i was like horrified and i just shot them like 8 more times to get them to stop moving. and just like that, i've never, i never got that feeling of satisfaction again. of all the people i killed in iraq . never once felt that another time in 2001, 911, shocked to us and the world alongside osama bin lot and al qaeda in afghanistan, americans singled out another suspect. iraq continues to florida, so still a be toward america and to support terror as the rocky regina has applauded to develop anthrax and nerve gas and nuclear weapons for over

a decade. on the 20th of march, 2003, the us launched a war against the rock together with britain medical admission of the willing. they called it operation iraqi freedom. the it was the august invasion during the night. it's proof by the fact that the entire region has nothing destabilized by the present state. when they occupied baghdad, they occupied the entire region. when the regime fell in a rock and many other achievements fell unlimited. in the beginning, however, people were happy to be free. they were happy to go, you know, they had the blue psalms after they've voted and things like that where i think it

went wrong is we stayed there too long. we didn't really have like a full on plan for how to how to help them after we release them from sit on who's saying we didn't find any. what is best struction that we looked we looked pretty hard for me. the cold of terrorism was retaliation as americans killed the rockies. they say it's find some terrorism in the rockies fight back to americans, kill them. that's called self defense. none of my leaders are being held accountable for a rock the us justified it's war against the rock as a pre emptive move, the aim was to prevent saddam hussein from carrying out and attack with weapons of as destruction. a lie, but even the us secretary of state at the time colin powell indirectly admitted and

an interview with al jazeera in 2011 the by definition. what happened in iraq in 2003 was a war of aggression in violation of international law. february 2022. russia launched its full scale invasion of ukraine. here too. it all began with a lie. we're putting in that issue. you don't really do need to speak sadly before i give them the gods that you'll say that she's got the participating. you buy some media, but you gotta go see is do i just, i'm not singled so certainly keeps going from atlanta, but we didn't take me to the military as i say, need business if it goes through no sooner had the invasion begun. russian

aggression was denounced by most western countries by the united nations resolution condemning moscow's actions exposed, clear polarity. many countries in the global south abstained from boding of this included nations, such as china and india, representing most of the global population the . for some observers, this global polarization can be traced back to the iraq war, a view shared by british labor party m, p, and a peace activist andrew murray. the course there's a moral double standard when you're dealing with the situation in ukraine and the

situation in iraq. where i served that, i mean, you know, we have the gall to, to, you know, say that somebody basically another nation doing the exact same atrocity that we did is, is the legal in 1. 1 isn't i was 25 years old when i joined the us army, 20011 month before september 11th. the 53 when i came into this world, saddam hussein was the room with it. it was good or bad. it was something we had to live with should be oh, age. i mean, can you use the he really with kids that he room for the fist defiant, diane, michigan. i mean, it's not fun fucking, but do you do know the piece at the top of the country and no one else could say otherwise. there was one ruling policy. and that was the boss putting my foot who

was good by a little bit as we, as a rock is, could not give different opinions on political matters. there was only one that opinion on. so we learned the prize. you're not kind of this good kinda thing. i didn't end up in the army until i was almost 23. i want it to be like a g i jane. and so that was,

that was the best way i could prove myself. if i could do that, then i knew that i could do anything else in life. the c as not during the war in 2003, i had a position in the military. clinton, which was you treat, i had it, i'm all confused. asking how much one of the officials called us together and told us, brothers, the enemy has arrived and is determined. war is inevitable. inviting for us to reach the gulf and us for paid themselves. how to not with the want, and we heard that american soldiers, atlanta nearby at the airport to monitor in the home. and then is on the side of the problem. the soldiers who were at the portable to cause the americans bombarded the area with precipitous weapons kind as to how, how long will in my body shop a brand new, active,

sole source of customs on these cluster bones of find it exploded before they hit the ground. that turns it on and what can take too many people. it is probably my tons of to for an additional kind of the i saw it so don't. so if someone to bother with the asked my should myself, and one of the screws is nearby on the airport road for the which is now close to the green. so i'm not a simple at the hold on. i think i'm fine. i see the actual i raised my head to try to see what it was on the so i'm sure i've seen american soldiers on tv before, but i hadn't seen them with my own nice because i couldn't. then i was seeing americans with tags, herman's and bullet proof cause entering the presidential palace and has in

some it made me very sad. tears fell from my eyes. honey, i cried. i cried hod, due to exhaustion and fatigue because we lost the battle of it. we lost the country, i saw it, i saw them, and monica said something about it. on the 1st of may, 2003, from the deck of the aircraft carrier, u. s. s. abraham lincoln, president george w bush declared the official end of the war in iraq. but the real war had only just begun so i look forward to a rock, january 2004. here in this massive convoy, a wind up all the way across the desert on this highway and crossed into a rock. the kids seemed to be living on the side of the road. a group of them were yelling, you know,

george bush, number one, usa, number one usa number one. and we drove past them. and then they switched to given us the middle finger and cursing at us and throwing rocks. and i was like, wow, like and after encountering more and more rockies headed to the north, even just that 1st day it was clear that we weren't, we're being seen as liberators. and, you know, save yours and people who were there to help. we are seen as more of the problem of the war turned into a longer occupation after the dissolution of the rocky army in may. 2003, militias formed in the same year to wage an asymmetric war against the us. starting

in october 2004. these aren't the groups included. i'll tell you the any rough, the take it all go for it as well as well. we we haven't, we're there from january of 2005 to january of 2006. and i was in baghdad. we were near solder city. we were on filed loyalty solder city is probably the city that hated us the most. when i would go to treat children in that city, i would have breaks and chunks of rocks and cement,

throwing out me and being head the whole time. while i was trying to treat someone, every body in iraq was a threat that women children, men just to like all of them which showed you all of them. we carry a gun and they would definitely put bonds inside of animals and send them towards the fobs. we always called the marines like, um, you know, they were just kind of like bullet catchers, buckets. they just go in 1st and they just started shooting well just the job separation debris or from any other branch is when you're taking fire to the other branches. when you're under fire, they take cover. the marines don't take cover,

the ruins. go after where the fire's gone from we're like a 100. over a $150.00 homes and buildings in the day. like it was just non stop kicking in doors and detaining people now was that, i mean, it was just, that's the, i got to know some of rocky people. it's hard to have a fair relationship in discussion with somebody when you're wearing body armor. have a kid lar helmet and a rifle in your hands and recurring job one, the dental and the american stroke, as destruction, religious division,

we come to discrimination and racism the so many terrible thing honestly couldn't this if i say i was shouldn't be able to become a we did a lot of missions on the bruce over rocky police station and hit it. and i got to know one of police officers there who joined joining the police, the rocky police to earn diary to get married. the guy just wrote a motorcycle didn't have any other form of vehicle, so i'd try to try to hook him up with some things cuz it keeps folks having problems ride his bike around direct. um. but it was, it was good relationship um after uh, i would grow upgrade was exposed, he stopped talking to me the us run abu ghraib prison in iraq hit the headlines in 2004. detainees had been systematically tortured in violation of the geneva convention. the only sentences handed down where to junior officers

allegedly acting on their own initiative, not to any one in politics or military leadership. however, before that, in 2002, the us government had approved what it termed enhanced interrogation techniques and it's war on terror. my best friend regina and the civil affairs team was out on a mission and she was hit by one of these new experiences at blue her and the down her wiley and to many, many pieces. and i remember i was outside when they towed our truck back on to the fobs and it is like i already knew. because when you're telling a truck back, it's not good. and i remember her

commander walking towards me. a told me what had happened. it is 2 days before christmas and about 3 weeks before we go home and no, no don't, can pull themselves together enough to remove their bodies from the vehicle. and so they asked me to do it. i don't know any of the guys in my unit that are still you know, it doesn't have high levels of anxiety test. the depression issues lot of them have experienced homelessness, incarceration gone to jail,

a substance abuse issues, lot of suicide. a lot, a death by overdose. you know, it's like every, every day having to re lives rock over and over again. yeah. the human am. when my oldest daughter graduation, i suddenly remembered her, so stay in the 5th grade. so there's been an explosion. you thought it was scary, please. we were inside the house and said, god, losing nothing will happen on a brief hold on one second. i remember that i have a child which is at school. i called out to my wife and told her outdoors and we

forgot about you run 20. it's each one of the explosions being very close to the school. we couldn't reach outdoors and we didn't know if she was alive or was monitored and date would be out the vic times it was a honda. it was thanks to go on. she was in class with the other students from the middle of the windows, which i knew was only slight injury saving lives in chaos. refugees, you know, a vacuum. they created isis eventually like refugee problem to change the dynamics of politics in europe. you know, just just the score that occurred. the geo political reverberations are tangible to this day, far beyond the rock and the way to region. to date, according to international research,

more than 4500000 people have died in the wars on terror that followed 911 victims were killed either in direct combat or as a result of war. many were women and children. large areas of the rock are contaminated by depleted uranium, munitions children. there are born with deformities, the economy is in ruins, spelling poverty and hunger. the us has never made reparation payments to iraq or compensated individual victims the decision of one man to launch a holy, unjustified, and brutal invasion of a rack. i mean the ukraine correct anyway. the

certificate if now everything is different. which look like we change something and an exchange we lost something else, but then the height on if we exchange that for life that enables us to have pips. and colin provides us mobile phones. there's nothing here that ends venue, these k holy micros better perform the if i were able to meet up with people in iraq these days follow it would be nice to sit down and have the meal with them and some of their wonderful t, a part of me feels like it might not even be possible to ever do that

because they might just tell me as soon as i get there, i just i want to apologize for my personal participation in that her. and i wanna apologize for my nations participation in it. and i love your country, i love a rock and i can see past the bob wire and the blown up buildings and to see wonder the be every rocky is. every person is still wellness, stability and development for the country. and there is no stability if we're not safe diploma and then we need to we then we'll, we'll do that and i would appreciate every kind of samaritans wouldn't listen to my advice. but if they happen to hear me, i'd say stay away from the reach and leave the people alone to live in peace. and the
