Chicago Occupied / Voice of the Iraq Vet #1
"Chicago Occupied" Our friends at Labor Beat in Chicago sent us this piece, about a street theater-style action where members of Iraq Vets Against the War, dressed in battle gear, did a mock patrol, sweeping up and mistreating Chicago civilians in the same style they did in Iraq. This action was modeled after a similar action by Vietnam Vets Against the War, done in the early 1970s, during the US invasion and occupation of Viet Nam, (the "RAW March," which we have archival footage of, and hope to put on a future "Indymedia Presents" episode, for its historical interest). Much like VVAW of yesteryear, IVAW has played an important role in opposing the US presence in Iraq, as well they should. Nobody knows the horror of the American presence better than its victims, the Iraqi people, but their voice is not at all present in the American discourse on the war. Next to the Iraqis, the American soldiers who have served in Iraq have the most to say and IVAW has been a strong voice, trying to alert the American public to the wrongfulness of US actions over there, using increasingly creative ways to get the word to the people here at home. Their efforts reflect a tremendous faith in Americans. The idea is that if Americans are confronted with the truth, they will not turn away, but will stop the war. Although "Chicago Occupied" was made before the latest scandal developed, regarding the Blackwater mercenaries in Iraq, it sheds some light on that situation. Blackwater is accused of <b>...</b>
BREAKING NEWS LIBYA TO BE OCCUPIED BY USA SAME AS IRAQ IS NOW A POLICE STATE
A real time documentary that will be a testament to future generations of the War Crimes Committed by the US, France, Britain, Germany, and all other weapons manufacturing countries against the people of Iraq. The global power structure that destroyed Iraq must be removed from power before the entire World is engulfed in flames. 50000 US troops remain in Iraq, in the largest fortification in the World. The US employ's thousands of armed private contractors from Blackwater / Xe and other Corporate CIA funded institutions that are armed, trigger happy, and do not answer to anyone for the crimes they commit. The War is NOT over until ALL these US criminals are removed from Iraq, the country rebuilt, and the US government and corporate support are held accountable for the War Crimes they committed on the Iraqi people.

In Focus: Inside Iraq — Dangerous Allies

The Bases Are Loaded: US Permanent Military Presence in Iraq
Will the US ever leave Iraq? Official policy promises an eventual departure, while warning of the dire consequences of a "premature" withdrawal. But while Washington equivocates, facts on the ground tell another story. Independent journalist Dahr Jamail, and author Chalmers Johnson, are discovering that military bases in Iraq are being consolidated from over a hundred to a handful of "megabases" with lavish amenities. Much of what is taking place is obscured by denials and quibbles over the definition of "permanent." The Bases Are Loaded covers a wide range of topics. Gary Hart, James Goldsborough, Nadia Keilani, Raed Jarrar, Bruce Finley Kam Zarrabi and Mark Rudd all add their observations about the extent and purpose of the bases in Iraq.

THE WAR ON IRAQ: a continuation of the 60-year Israeli Nakba
Dahlia Wasfi, MD (part 2) speaks to the Winter Soldier II Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) events in March, 2008. Dr. Wasfi, daughter of a Jewish mother and an Iraqi Muslim father, puts into context the background of the war in Iraq. "It is an extension of the 60-year occupation of Palestine. That is what's going on here. It's much bigger than bigger than 2001 or 2003. There are joint American-Israeli operations in occupied Palestine, in occupied Iraq. Ours is blind, military, political and financial support that is the only reason that the Israelis, the Israeli government can continue to do what they do." [FROM 1948 TO 2008].

Dahr Jamail on Iraq Civil War Sunnis and Shia
From the Question and Answer time- the question addressed whether or not Iraq was in civil war, and if withdrawal of troops would make it worse. Dahr Jamail is an unembedded reporter meaning that he did not participate in the Pentagon embed program, rather traveled through Iraq with Iraqis and human rights workers seeking a true picture of the devastation caused by the US invasion and subsequent occupation. His compelling news reports are distributed by InterPress Service and are compiled on his own web site, dahrjamailiraq.com. Dahr's compelling personal stories of his visits to this active war zone are available in the Haymarket book, BEYOND THE GREEN ZONE: DISPATCHES FROM AN UNEMBEDDED JOURNALIST IN OCCUPIED IRAQ with a foreword by Amy Goodman. On November 4, 2007, the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice, Students Educating Students About the Middle East (SESAME, of the Evergreen State College), and Building Revolution by Increasing Community Knowledge (BRICK, of South Puget Sound Community College) sponsored a fund raising speaking engagement for Dahr Jamail and poet Suheir Hammad at the Capitol Theatre in downtown Olympia

Iraq Ambush Attack: Humorous Prank by Soldiers Deployed to Baghdad, Iraq
raq Water Bottle Prank. The Iraq War, also known as the Second Gulf War,Operation Iraqi Freedom,or the occupation of Iraq, is an ongoing conflict which began on March 20, 2003 with the United States-led invasion of Iraq by a multinational coalition composed of US and UK troops supported by smaller contingents from Australia, Poland, and other nations. The rationale for the invasion offered by US President George W. Bush and coalition supporters included the allegation that Iraq possessed and was actively developing weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in violation of a 1991 agreement. US officials argued that Iraq posed an imminent, urgent, and immediate threat to the United States, its people, allies, and interests. The supporting intelligence was widely criticized, and weapons inspectors found no evidence of WMD. After the invasion, the Iraq Survey Group concluded that Iraq had ended its WMD programs in 1991 and had none at the time of the invasion, but that they intended to resume production if and when the Iraq sanctions were lifted. Although some earlier degraded remnants of misplaced or abandoned WMD were found, they were not the weapons for which the coalition invaded. Some US officials claimed Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda had been cooperating, but no evidence of any collaborative relationship has been found.Other reasons for the invasion stated by officials included concerns over Iraq's financial support for the families of Palestinian suicide bombers, Iraqi <b>...</b>

In Focus: The US Detention System in Iraq
Learn more: pulitzercenter.org Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have been detained by the US, one and a half million have had an immediate family-member detained, almost every Iraqi knows someone who has been through the US detention system. Few American institutions affect the lives of ordinary Iraqis more directly and profoundly than the US detention system. At one point during "the Surge" the US was holding 27000 Iraqis. Today it holds 17000. They have not been charged with crimes, but are being held as "security detainees" - a legal classification that will cease to exist on January 1st, when the US military's UN mandate expires. But for these 17000 swept up in the American system, there is no clear way out. This report is part of Pulitzer Center-sponsored project "Iraq: Death of a Nation?

Occupy Oakland: Veteran Suffers Lacerated Spleen after Beating by Police
A second Iraq war veteran has suffered serious injuries after clashes between police and Occupy movement protesters in Oakland. Kayvan Sabehgi, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, is in intensive care with a lacerated spleen. He says he was beaten by police close to the Occupy Oakland camp, but despite suffering agonising pain, did not reach hospital until 18 hours later. Sabehgi, 32, is the second Iraq war veteran to be hospitalised following involvement in Oakland protests. Another protester, Scott Olsen, suffered a fractured skull on 25 October. On Wednesday night, police used teargas and non-lethal projectiles to drive back protesters following an attempt by the Occupy supporters to shut down the city of Oakland. Sabehgi told the Guardian from hospital he was walking alone along 14th Street in central Oakland -- away from the main area of clashes -- when he was injured. "There was a group of police in front of me," he told the Guardian from his hospital bed. "They told me to move, but I was like: 'Move to where?' There was nowhere to move. "Then they lined up in front of me. I was talking to one of them, saying 'Why are you doing this?' when one moved forward and hit me in my arm and legs and back with his baton. Then three or four cops tackled me and arrested me." Sabeghi, who left the army in 2007 and now part-owns a small bar-restaurant in El Cerrito, about 10 miles north of Oakland, said he was handcuffed and placed in a police van for three hours before being <b>...</b>

American led war crimes "Paying the Price: Killing the Children of Iraq" - spsyed review
"Paying the price: Killing the Children of Iraq". This must watch documentary is available online linked here. In a hard-hitting special report, award-winning journalist and filmmaker John Pilger investigates the effects of sanctions on the children of Iraq and finds that ten years of extraordinary sanctions, imposed by the UN and enforced by the US and Britain, have killed more people than the two atomic bombs dropped by American on Japan. American-British led forces invaded and occupied Iraq and Afghanistan where they continue to commit more crimes against humanity. Iraq was bombed almost everyday over a period of twelve years between January 1991 and May 2003, killing almost two millions civilians, including under-age children. A 1999 Unicef report calculated that more than half a million children had died as a direct result of American and British enforced sanctions. In September 1998, Denis Halliday head of the UN humanitarian programme in Iraq resigned, saying he could no longer administer 'an immoral and illegal' policy. His successor, Hans von Sponeck also later resigned, along with the head of the World Food Programme but the genocidal sanctions continued years after Iraq was totally disarmed. When asked on US television whether the death of 500000 Iraqi children as a result of sanctions was justified Madelaine Albright replied "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price - we think the price is worth it". Sanctions on the people of Iraq had devastating <b>...</b>
