political activist or a share our thanks you asked was joyous a step forward for both countries but it doesn't mean america's influence in the region will end. this is a very important milestone i think iraqis in general and have been waiting for this is the last eight years we want to hear this u.s. military occupation is all that is sought for and it is a major step in but i bet action unfortunately it does not necessarily mean the end of u.s. involvement and intervention in iraq because the u.s. is planning to keep sixteen thousand. under the state department all for all the iraqi political leaders of not against keeping some u.s. trainers to train the new iraqi army on using the newly purchased through us what means here but they are against god can give an immunity because that have a laundry list of crimes that were committed killing iraqi civilians with north

don't really think the u.s. intervention an occupation of iraq has been a disaster there is no big thing there's nothing to look back at it has been a disaster that should not have happened it's a disaster of death and destruction and the u.s. has been out of iraq's problem in the last decade or two decades since the intervention started i'm very happy that the u.s. is ending its intervention because i think this will help our kids move forward and put the country and the truck. someone special headlines for you this hour in northern kosovo nato peacekeepers tried to remove a town by ethnic but have been stopped by hundreds of people also subsets of front of sixteen road blocks to prevent foreign troops pushing through the barricades western peacekeepers and local seven leaders afterwards failed to achieve a breakthrough during talks held late on saturday as in the region will build by local serbs back in july when the ethnic albanian government attempted to take control of the disputed crossing area. the turkish military has reported at

movement is growing across the world to include even iran and north korea many are wondering what exactly has united so many people in protest that we harvest our own resident reporter in new york went to the center of the action to ask people what brought done there. a month into the occupy wall street movement is there a unified message this week let's talk about that there isn't a centralized message a lot of people say that's a problem and i think that's actually a strength that we currently have. as a movement we were were just over a month old. october seventeenth was a one month anniversary and and i think it's it's early to be issuing any statements or anything along those lines any any sort of movement major movements or revolution or anything like that throughout history has issued a statement within the first month it feels
11:25 pm
a little absurd to me to expect there to be one core message when this is a movement that's wanting to be inclusive it wants everyone to have a voice and everyone has their own life they have their own struggles his i mean today's world is the sound bite no one has tension at a.t.t. world and they need a sound bite or they're off of the current dominant paradigm and we're looking to give examples of what alternative paradigms could exist i tried to come in for a couple of hours so a lot of people are saying that the message is that unified and that's an issue that the movement is having its problem communicating but i don't see it as an issue. because deep feel like it unified i think it was ultimately this is a big battle of ideas there's fifteen different worldviews for square foot and. people are talking and people are listening it's like the best university in the world but there's no unified message a lot of people don't seem to really understand why they're here they can
11:26 pm
articulate it so you know if this sort of makes them think about why they're here well there in the alternative do you think that that's a problem with the movement is that there isn't a unified message not necessarily i think there's a prevailing theme to it everybody is disenfranchised with something you're saying education and health care some guy over there just said shipping jobs out of the country to the stuff with part of it i mean it's not one thing i guess it's not just one thing and there's a bunch of different reasons that i'm part of that too i mean i agree with the fact that they're shipping jobs of the country we don't need any more so so how would you sum it up in one clears plantains what the message is here. political and economic reform the whole of both parties i think we want to party so it seems like everyone here feels like there is a unified message and that is there isn't a unified math it which they feel like is the very strike of the movements.
