general mckenzie: let me begin with iraq. iraq -- it's a good-news story. we are there at the invitation of iraq. they want nato. small but growing effort on the ground in iraq. so we are there because they want us to be there. it's important to emphasize that point. as we look into the future, any force level adjustment is going to be made with consultations. and we believe that will continue. as you know, iraq is in the process of government formation and we are watching that with great interest and wish them well. despite the roadblocks thrown up by proxy groups, they are proceeding. not the way we would do it, but nonetheless they are moving forward. in the long-term, we would like to have security agreement and posture with iraq and that would mean, you look at how many people you got there. and what we want to do in the long-term in the fight against isis and this is important, you want to get to the state where nations and security elements in those nations can deal with the violent extremist threats without direct support from us. the iraqis are doi

s. invasion of iraq. he even travel back to boost the morale of pentagon troops don't do this year because there's no one there that i go. it goes and sometimes ask themselves in question why mine is pointed to the hypocrisy of swore to nigga closing his eyes to the actions of his adopted country. the us, as we mock the 19th anniversary of washington's invasion of a rock where hundreds of thousands lost their lives ortiz, rachel blevins reports. it has been 19 years since the u. s. in its allies invaded iraq. the anniversary comes at a time when the architects of the iraq war and the politicians who supported the u . s. occupation of the country in the years to follow are now expressing their concern over the well being of civilians in ukraine. ah, i used to work for me intentionally targeting civilians is a war crime. after all the destruction of the past 3 weeks, i find it difficult to conclude that the russians are doing otherwise. ah, but those concerns were nowhere to be found back in 2003 when the b

s. invasion of iraq was illegal and violated the un charter back in 2004, the architects of the iraq war continue to walk free to this day. and it's not just iraq over the last 20 years. the u, as in his allies have dropped more than 337000 bombs on other countries making for an average of 46 strikes per day. so in the same politicians as supported one war after another suddenly claim that they care about civilian casualties. all the biggest question becomes why now in washington, rachel, robins, archie, with the rocky still struggling to paste their lives back together. after nearly 2 decades of us occupation. we looked back at one of the most appalling atrocities committed by american forces in the country when it became a global sensation and led to the us soldiers involved being sentenced to prison. a warning you may find the contents of the following video distressing. hello, this is our american and coalition forces were in the early stages of military operations. this armor breeds people in the world. great danger. ah, we discuss the issue with for me, us marine corps intellig

of course, here in iraq on believable i guess you in iraq. ah, next we visit caputo champ, a region in the heart of talking with many traditions. excellent cuisine and ancient cliff dwellings. ah, this may seem hard to believe, but up until very recently, people who lived in these capes for centuries. and now this was like, i'm one of the most instagram noble and popular destinations in all of turkey. this is capital copper. dokey is a tiny region tucked right into the heart of central turkey. it gained global fame thanks to its network of fairy chimneys. so real looking rock formations and genuine cave home people have been carving. it's soft and undulating rocks into houses, shelters, and defense distance since 1000 b c. o. since you already started talking about the cave house with a dog check this out. this is one of those rooms carved in bed roll rock. people would have copies with their hands, centuries ago, they would have eaten here, hung out here, slept here, prayed here. can you imagine all the things that would have happened here o

left iraq. there was a new iteration of a very terrible extremist group known as the islamic state. and in this blitzkrieg. the islamic state took over a third of the iraqi nation territorily it in a matter of weeks. it had split this amazingly large country in to into two and millions of iraqis were caught behind enemy lines. the rest of iraq well that blitzkrieg came to about 70 miles north of baghdad this capital city. used to be the cradle of civilization has a university that's over a thousand years old has an incredibly educated professional class of people. there's an arab proverb about the iraqis about how much they read it was devastating to them to see their country torn apart in this way in large part because this invading army the islamic state it weren't it wasn't the americans. it was in large part their own. it was like an iraqi civil war the head of islamic state was in iraqi, man, most of the leadership of the iraqis were also we're also people that that the iraqis had known and

bloody sections, cancer is not only iraq - it does not matter.is the departure of the united states - it really is. the trouble is the collapse of the iraqi state - this will be the worst outcome of a military campaign, the turks are very worried about about the kurds. and what happens if there is an independent kurtkistan, there is a problem in the south and raki in the shiite region on the border with iran which is the largest shiite state in the world, if they unite then there will be a threat to kuwait and saudi arabia because the shiite population lives on the coast. it is not difficult to see that the old blood rock perceives as the worst option exactly what is perceived by the current, as the desired result, such a block will block and the region on the basis of religious and ethnic principles means war blood and chaos it seems that this is the only option in which the americans expect not to leave, or rather leave to stay, managing chaos. from a safe distance, the idea is to control the chaos in such a region. this is definitely an advent

well, let's go back to iraq. so chemical weapons, you know, who also believe that iraq had chemical weapons, the united nations because iraq itself had declared those chemical weapons after the 1st gulf war. and sure, they say, you know, you are hiding behind the, for the united nation. that wasn't then no, my strong point in your career. you were never musician. i thought it might be impressive. you. the issue now is not, not the different styles of warfare that the countries engage in, although the russian style is going to cost it in casualties. sad, sadly for russia going forward and the families that will suffer as a result from it. it's whether completely unprovoked aggression is acceptable, and the answer is that it's not. so this is something that the brush is going to pay a heavy price for the tragedy. so i think is that the u. s. failed to deter, to begin with, but that's not going to less than the price for russia. i actually believe review that, agree with you that the russians are taking upon themsel

why is it important to veterans in iraq and afghanistan? guest: we were absolutely thrilled that the president addressed it. not just interested, but david is the comprehensive and substantive few minutes in the state of the union address. this is something we have been asking for for years because this is really one of if not the biggest health concern for both 9/11 veterans. all of the trash that was generated during the iraq and afghanistan campaign was just dumped into massive holes in the ground, had jet fuel poured on them and they burned 24/7. we are talking hundreds of tons of waste per day were generated and this is everything. styrofoam, metal, human remains, human waste. everything that you can think of was dumped in these pits. the health effects are really unquantifiable because we really don't know everything that was put in these pits. exposure varies based on how much time they spent around them. sometime they were downwind housing facilities. people stood watch. the effects are ongoing and something that have to be addresse

you know, who also believe that iraq had chemical weapons, the united nations, because iraq itself had declared those chemical weapons after the 1st gulf war. and sure, so you know, you are hiding behind the, for the united nation. bad wasn't no my strong point in your career. you were never musician. i thought it might be impressive. you. the issue now is not, not the different styles of warfare that countries engage in, although the russian style is going to cost it in casualties. sad, sadly for russia going forward and the families that will suffer as a result from it. it's whether completely unprovoked aggression is acceptable, and the answer is that it's not. so this is something that the brush is going to pay a heavy price for the tragedy. so i think is that the u. s. failed to deter, to begin with, but that's not going to less than the price for russia. i actually believe review that, agree with you that the russians are taking upon themselves a risk of higher military casualties. precisely because they have an objective of limiting civilian death toll and there is a very unders
