Analysis: US now winning Iraq war that seemed lost

Posted by Matt in July 26th, 2008

The United States is now winning the war that two years ago seemed lost. Limited, sometimes sharp fighting and periodic terrorist bombings in Iraq are likely to continue, possibly for years. But the Iraqi government and the U.S. now are able to shift focus from mainly combat to mainly building the fragile beginnings of peace — a transition that many found almost unthinkable as recently as one year ago.

Iraq War Veteran Speaks Out
Marine Corporal Grant Collins describes what it was like to participate in the war in Iraq. He also describes what it is like to live with giving orders that resulted in the deaths of civilians. I posted this video from truthout.org for two reasons: 1) because it simply should be seen by as many people as possible, 2) every other copy that I found on YouTube had been posted by people with a very different and very negative political/social agenda from what the video represents. I think it is better served posted cleanly and in the original context it was intended to be seen. Note: After receiving a number of complaints from other users about the comments on this video, I have disabled commenting and erased all the messages already posted (3000+, including some of my own). I had...

The Iraq War: Legal or Illegal?
Pinky wants some answers: Is the U.S.-led invasion and occupation of Iraq legal or illegal? Do any of the charges of illegality we've been hearing about have any legal basis at all? And why should we even care about international law anyway? Pinky and friends do the research and then tell you all the answers! For more information visit: http://www.pinkyshow.org/

Last Goodbye: US Soldiers from Iraq War
A video I made about the dead US Soldiers and their funerals. I know it's pretty long, but they deserve no less. It's a tribute to the ultimate sacrafice they have made for their family, friends and strangers of this country. Keep vulgar and hateful comments to yourself. This is tribute to the fallen men and women in uniform, not a political statement or debate about whether or not we should be there.

Thanks. :) The video employs clips from a 2004 "60 Minutes" Interview with 2001-2003 Secretary of the Treasury, Paul O'Neil. O'Neil,a Permanent Member of the then formed NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL (NSC), was eventually FIRED in 2003, for what he OPPOSED and witnessed in the Early days of the JUST elected 2001 Bush Whitehouse. He was appalled at the Secrecy and Contradictions in the George Bush he thought he knew. It was apparent a new agenda was rolling...and he wanted NO part in it. War plans were in the works, long BEFORE the 911 World Trade Center attack. Far from...

Texas Republican slams Bush "demented philosophy of conquest
Full story at http://www.thebluestate.com/2007/02/video_texas_rep.html Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) stood his ground and joined the twenty-or-so other Republicans that have decided to vote with the House Democrats in favor of a non-binding Iraq resolution that condemns President Bush's troop surge. Speaking of Bush, Congressman Paul was very straight-forward in his displeasure for Bush's "demented philosophy of conquest." Here is a portion of his floor speech: RON PAUL: "In recent decades, our policies have been driven by neoconservative empire radicalism; profiteering in the military industrial complex; misplaced do-good internationalism; mercantilistic notions regarding the need to control natural resources; and blind loyalty to various governments in the Middle East." You can add...

Winner of the 2007 Hollywood Film Festival Music Video of the Year Winner of MTVu's "The Freshman" in 2007 Winner of TheBeat.fm Summer Contest "Iraq" is destined to be a true rallying cry during these difficult political times. TIMZ's background allows him to give a unique perspective of the war. "My parents are from Iraq but I was born in the United States. I feel like I'm able to connect to both sides of this war a little more than the average person. That's why I wrote the song the way I did; the first verse is written from the perspective of an Iraqi while the second verse is written from the perspective of an American. The third...
