caribbean studies daniel shore, he believes that decades of western sanctions have less cuba. in a dire financial situation. if the united nations truly had an impact with the oppressed peoples of the world, surely united states without war it yesterday. because every year there's a vote and overwhelmingly of the $198.00 sovereign countries of the world. all of them except the united states and the junior partners zionism or israel vote against this blockade. it is the sanctions. it's an economic war in cuba. recently, when you don't have gasoline, you can't transport. hundreds of thousands of workers across the entire island to mobilize in havana made is a very special day, in fact that international delegations in have on and across cuba right now, supporting the cuban people in this very, very trying moment. a world based on the quality unity, multi polarity,

could not come soon enough, but millions of cuban families who continue to have few shortages. food shortage is electricity shortages, so on and so forth. precisely because of this 6 decades long us economic war in hybrid war against the cuban people. iran's supreme leader has lashed out over the continuing u. s. military presence in nearby iraq. currently estimated at 2500 troops saying that just one us soldier is one to many. americans are not friends of iraq. americans are not friends with anyone and are not even loyal to the european france. even the presence of one american in iraq is too much for the us invasion. 2 decades ago has left behind a trail of destruction. a 1000000 people were killed. many more displaced. and today marks the last day of special coverage, recording the devastation of that conflict. at this hour,

american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free its people, and to defend the world from great. who's we with and fleet with was it was exactly 20 years ago when the 1st of may that but then you as president george w bush, spoke to american troops from the podium of a u. s. aircraft carrier announcing the end of major combat operations in iraq. the

speech was titled mission accomplished. naughty that steve sweeney now takes an extended look at how the u. s. light operation of the end of the day did end in that of a disastrous fe on the 1st of may, 2003. george w bush gave his speech on pull the u. s. s warship, abraham lincoln declaring victory and an end to the war. in iraq major combat operations and iraq have ended in the battle of iraq. the united states and our allies have prevailed a banner was draped on the ship boldly declaring mission accomplished, but was it. according to the iraq body count project, nearly 11000 civilians were killed in the 1st few months of the wall by 2023, and recorded more than 200000 fatalities with others putting the test. so as high

as $1000000.00 or more, less than a month off to push his speech, the iraqi army was disbanded with thousands of soldiers left angry and disgruntled at u. s. occupying forces, the insurgents, he continued, but you s official will seem to down play it scale, saying the situation was no worse than crime. they will seen him major u. s. cities. there has not been a major health crisis out. there is not a humanitarian crisis in the country. all of the non governmental experts have gone in have, have indicated that that's the case. or remember that if washington d. c, with the size of baghdad. we would be having something like $215.00 murders a month. and, and it, it is there, there's going to be violence in a big city is 5 and a half 1000000 people. but british military official with estimated they were between 40 to 50000 in surgeon fight is in the country. while iraqi intelligence kind there was many as 200000 insurgents. larger than the u. s. military presence,

the country was plunged into chaos with bomb attacks targeting un officials and religious minorities. u. s. troops launched a major operation in fallujah with at lee i on the civilians killed according to the red cross, $300.00 of them, women and children. the aid agency also accused us forces of using white phosphorus, while the devastating effects of depleted uranium admissions are still being felt today by locals in i, the victim's included children, women, and men who were buried in different places. the digger was ceaselessly working in all the areas behind me to bury the victims, while other people were setting the graves of annual on it. yet i came here to day to visit my brother and water in the cemetery, which holds the grays of tomatoes, who were killed by the us occupation since 2006. they were all playing with a bull near the mosque when an explosion happened. and all those who march had in

fallujah were burt, in this improvised cemetery, that was a full page before. thousands of iraqis were rounded up and tortured in the notorious abu ghraib prison. where images of inmates being electrocuted and sexually humiliated shot the world mikka lama. they would take us 2 different rooms in one room. you would be beaten in another room. they were snakes in a 3rd room. they were animals, then they would give a cup of coffee. but after you finish the coffee, everything would start again. that's what their investigation was like. they made up chances. they had nothing to do with reality. at 1st i thought i was the only person in this situation, but there were thousands of people who were accused of terrorism like that. saddam hussein with caught an executed and elections held in january 2005, although many say the polak legitimacy mod by low turn out among city muslims and deadly attacks on polling stations. 2006 or the beginning of 2 years of civil war. and the highest esto, since the invasion began amid fears iraq could collapse altogether. the growing

militia activities have led to further destabilization across many parts of the country and increasing number of rockies have been affected by growing violence and insecurity. high levels of civilian casualties and display is spent on a daily basis, a breeding and increase sense of insecurity and deep pessimism among iraqis. the prospects of all as civil war and even a regional conference had become much more real, more us atrocities, followed, including the ne, so a square masika carried out by private military contractors in baghdad on to reuters journalists were among those killed in a helicopter tock, which only came to light off to the footage was published by wiki leaks. i now let me know when you get what you might of all of your through traffic to sixty's. come on, hire the right. and if you

put, if you thing as a war in iraq became more costly and unpopular among us citizens, the new president promised to end military operations in the country. i've chosen a timeline that will remove our combat brigades over the next 18 months. so let me say this as plainly as i can. by august 31st, 2010. our combat mission in iraq will end. the law of combat troops left in december 2011, ending a campaign, the cost the lives of mow than $4000.00 u. s. soldiers, but the story didn't end. their islam excite a militant g. how this group emerged in the chaos in 2014, quickly sweeping across the country with

a mental ah ah, the rise of islamist states made the words of the wars initiate backing 2003 darkly ironic. ah, the battle of iraq is one victory in a war on terror. that began on september, the 11th 2001 and still goes on before long. you as truthful back on the ground, i thought caliphate was defeated. but at a huge cost,

the civilians from coalition air strikes to the battle of mosul, where thousands were killed as the city was flattened, deathless, deathless seeks. people had one daughter who was much relieved in that house after the as tracks. i just couldn't leave there anymore. my house is entirely destroyed . my daughter died in it. ah mac alysia, a main problem now is clearing the areas the body, scattered everywhere, and my little more than 60000 civilians died in the next stage of the conflict. the iraq war was justified by the alleged presence of w. m. d's, despite repeated warnings from inspectors and intelligent services to the country. in january, 2004,

the head of the iraq survey group charge we finding the weapons resigned, offered admitting failure. now, 20 years off to george bush claim victory. u. s. troops remain in the country, and iraq is still fighting a nicely insurgency. while the countries natural resources continue to be plundered, we spoke to one iraqi politician who blames the us for doing exactly the opposite of what it hailed as nation building. i think they're right, they accomplish the mission of destroying euro destroying the economy. introducing sectarianism, introducing terrorism at destroying the social, a coherence of iraqi society. they did achieve a great deal of destruction. so yes, for them. my mission was accomplished and route, but partially removing the influence of iraq from the middle east equation.

and that was a very important step for the americans as full repercussions on the, the, it was a ploy, right from the beginning. iraq never had aly form of weapons of mass destruction. it was a joke, and it was a pretext for attacking iraq. now we will, people of iraq are grateful for the removal of saddam hussein. but we do feel great disappointment in what happened after that. how the rocky population paid the price for the american failure. in their social experiment in iraq. the americans have no skill in nation building or liberating countries. they only know how to destroy. now the war as a steve outline was predicated on what turned out to be a hollow promise of liberation just resulted in decades of turmoil. you can delve

into our special project war of terror at r t dot com and all across our various social media. ah ah, ah, i'm action or it's antsy and welcome to going underground, broadcasting all around the world, from dubai in the u. a. in today's very special episode were joined by the democratically elected 22nd prime minister of pakistan. imran khan,
