  7. We Should all blame George Bush son he destroy every thing for his oil company's, The father was smart he knew what gona happened after Kuwait invasion at 1991 he don't let Saddam's regime down he was very smart he announce that a weak Saddam better than remove on power, now all those garbage leader and political parties thinking just how to stealing and corruptions every where they know they can buy more follower by this money and bluff them under name of religion, no one have loyalty and care about Iraq

  8. Iraq is suffering from consequences of grave US strategic failures and interference.
    US is certainly not a country that can put accountability to the table.

  9. Why is the dude just casually shooting in the open, taking no cover at all, people walking around him casually,unarmed ,not bothered. What even is this footage? Makes no sense.

  10. Donkey’s at its finest

  11. Hilarious how legit warfare is going on within 15 feet and these people are just looking on as if Michael Jackson were walking by.. SMH

  12. Well done George Bush, CIA, Tony Blair, and MI6. We tend to fuxk things up every time we get involved…..

  13. This is London and Paris in 50 Years.

  14. Iran has infested and corrupted every institution in iraq for the benefit of the iranians and the suffering of iraqis

  15. MY FINANCIAL GOAL IS TO BE MAKING AT LEAST UP TO $1,000,000 EVERY YEAR BY INVESTING HEAVILY BOTH IN CRYPTO AND STOCK. I NEED GUIDIANCE. please comment below…..

  16. One of the reasons for the Sunni Shia beef is the Shia think Muhammad was seduced and poisoned by a female, and that's how he died.
    Sunnis say Muhammad just got old and died.
    So, it's wartime bros, you have chosen death.
    Fire at will, I mean random, bring cigarettes, tea, and flip flops.

  17. Well, I did a tour in Iraq and sadly I have to say that Iraq would be better if Saddam was still in power… and I am not saying that is good

  18. So? Let the country burn to the ground if they are too inept to act hunan

  19. This is what Trump wants for America.

  20. Why is no one shootimg back and how many American lives will be lost thos time

  21. Let them do whatever they think they need to do because they have been killing each other for hundreds of years… If they want to get help, then they will help themselves. I am tired of making military contractors rich, while people in the states suffer because the funding isn't there for roads and infrastructure…

  22. I thought it stopped, the cleric said to withdraw and many people say calmness has returned

  23. Can’t these people just blow themselves up and get it over with………?

  25. This is the effect of America politics.

  26. Everyone filming for Iraq TikTok smh

Nice to see what nation building can accomplish these people love democracy you can see it in their eyes those are not angry RPG’s it’s almost like the Fourth of July like a celebration just wait in 20 years hopefully Ukraine can advance this far we’re already off to a wonderful start there I wonder which politician is going to be lucky enough to send their son or daughter over first you know advance democracy

  28. I don't understand just shoot into the crowd smh

  29. Look what we done! Chaos and violence. The war criminals: Cheney, Buch, Rumsfeld, Rice, Powell among others.

  30. Oh look! American arsenal in the hands of Iraqis thanks to Joe Biden

  31. Nothing like American freedom to bring out the best in a country

  32. Everybody be sure to give the United Snakes a big round of applause for "making democracy great again" in Iraq.

  33. What are they shooting at the air. Taking turns so the can be on camera. What a joke.

  34. The Middle East, they like it like this, always have, always will.
