Bush lied.
Obviously.
Not just Bush, but all those other politicians in his administration and also politicians outside of the U.S like Tony Blair. Lots of people are to blame here, though I do agree that if Bush didn’t perpetuate the war that it wouldn’t have happened in the first place.
@@yousifalbofradi7837why did they invade Iraq? I thought they were behind the 9/11 attack.I was a kid during those times and i always thought Iraq had something to do with 9/11 smh.
bush is a war criminal war and a terrorist"
What do you all thini would happen if they left after capturing the dictator cant spell his name
Those who screamed against the invasion of Iraq predicted this outcome.
I did at age 11
What outcome
@@BeefZupremehorrible reality
@@BeefZupremeThe country’s almost entirely destroyed. The war was literally for nothing. At least with Hussein, the country wasn’t terribly bad.
@@yushasharifThat's literally the opposite of the truth lol.
Then Americans act like they didn’t want this… look at the numbers on the polls that were done around the end of 2002 - 2003. Not everyone did, but the majority sure did.
والله صحيح كلامج ليا
of course they did, the 2001 had the country yearning for revenge on someone. their government took advantage of this, and sold them lies. the lie was WMD. isnt it the same case with the IRAQis here who shamed saddam’s statue because they thought the americans had come to liberate them, but it turned out to be worse. you always learn of a mistake after the act is performed. and no i dont see any americans saying they were against the war, they feel ashamed of what happened and regret the war and constantly denounce the bush administration. if anything, americans are definitely a group of people who wont hesitate to call out their own country ill give the em that
Obviously everyone was angry and sad at the time you’re saying you wouldn’t be for it if you’re homeland got attacked right now and all you know so far it’s that it came from them
because the government lied and sold them war to them after 9/11, saying saddam helped facilitate 9/11. They used anger and desire for revenge to take an opportunity to sell a war on lies
@@Keyir2k Iraq didn’t attack us. Most of the men on those planes were Saudi nationals.
Bagdad used to be the country of knowledge with lots of history, Iraq's invented algebra
Algebra came from Asia, India and Greece and not Iraq, Iraqis just translated their books.
@@mangopudding5979 bro Al-Khwarizmi is the one who invented algebra, and he's from iraq

Makes you wonder if Iran AIPAC bribed them.
After taking Oil Worth Trillions from Iraq
It's not a Bad Deal
And Syria
@@PoliticalSeer-ii3whNot really since most of the Iraqi oil field concessions ended up in the hands of European and Chinese oil companies. American oil companies in the end got very little and they were actually against the invasion
I'm from Iran. I am so saddened to see our Iraqi brothers like this. Inshallah the entire middle east will rise from its ashes soon.
I Too, am Absolutely Saddened and Utterly Heartbroken for MY IRAQI Brother’s, Sister’s and Innocent Children. YOU WILL RISE PROUDLY! Just LIKE MY PALESTINIAN Brother’s, Sister’s & Children. YOUR DAY WILL BE BRIGHT! VICTORIOUS! & GLORIOUS! Iran 🇮🇷 Iraq 🇮🇶Palestine 🇵🇸

It’s just so dumbfounding that Baghdad was once the most prominent cities of the world. With huge libraries and universities, it was a sea of knowledge. And now it’s in this state
But it was Muslims who destroyed the middle east first.
So what Iraq, Syria got is Karma.
No-one can escape Karma. Afghanistan also got Karma
@@PoliticalSeer-ii3whyou are history blind.
@@PoliticalSeer-ii3whyou must be a blind hater to say all that😁 go read about Abbasid caliphate then we will talk. Middle east was filled with wisdom knowledge money faith etc etc during our rule
@@asharahmad1068 You had No money, no knowledge.
You are desert thugs, that's it.
No contributions by you. Stop flattering urself
Genghis Khan invaded Baghdad and destroyed it. It was NOT muslims. If anything, it was because of Islam that the MidEast saw its Golden Age. It will happen again.
It was a fool's invasion.
Yes, but they saved the Iraqi people from the dictator Saddam, but they did not preserve the security and lives of the people as much as they preserved the oil fields.
@@abasx313what did that accomplish though they just have a bunch of terrorist groups and the country is destroyed
@@abasx313they literally caused more killings
@@rudrapratapsingh3976 Yes, that's what I'm saying
America got what it wanted I wouldn't call that a fools invasion.
The time of Saddam Hussein, despite wars and fighting, was better than 2003
As an American I am truly so sorry. The first time I was conscious enough to understand the Iraq war when it was happening was when I was eight. Even then I understood what they were doing (and continued to do to the Middle East) was wrong
🤣
Insane how the people of Iraq are not as angry at USA as the rest of the world. May Allah give them a better world to live in and fix their country
You saw it for yourself in the video, Iraqis looted, stole, and continued fighting. They never unified.
@@curious1053 they were talking about the Americans looting and stealing from them
@@ThatOneRussianTank it wasn’t just them. They said more Saddams showed up too. The violence and looting continued after USA left.
@@curious1053 USA has already planted seeds of evil, selecting horrible people to rule our government, so many criminals started roaming our streets whom Saddam kept in check when he was in charge.

Where are weopon of mass destruction
The Americans realized “they were the weapons of mass destruction” 4 years later and 1million dead….now we’re are supporting genocide. I hate my country 😞
Non found. Just an excuse to start a war.
We found wmd it was the oil
The US military themselves were the WMD they were looking for all along.
They were meaning oil
Most Americans were completely against this war . Many of us were outraged that we started another war on a lie . The same way we did with Vietnam . I’m truly sorry and upset that this was the outcome. I pray that life gets better.
AMEN 😢 🙏🏾
In the dream frand
Never blame the whole country, blame just their leaders, those who caused all of this
stop lying you guys fully supported it
well doesnt anybody remember how more than 70percent citizens of us supported the war..they were on the streets in support of this war
To the people of Iraq
As an American who was really young at the time and felled for the lies my government was telling us back then, I'm so sorry for what we did to all of you.
I know that dosen't make things any better or undo the damage that was done to you but I am very sorry.
I ain't. Next time don't support a dictator that sent you off to endless pointless wars and America won't intervene.
Blame Israel
@patrickmccarthy5617 yeah and who funds is-not-real? USA!
How is Israel to blame. The most likely culprit is probably the Iraqi dictator that sent millions to their deaths in failed wars.
Bro Iraq invaded Iran and Kuwait actions have consequences stop being a self hating lib
I’m from Iran, and have so much respect for these people, and their glorious history. Inshallah we can see a better Middle East. We have been all played with by the west like a game of chess.
اتمنا ان لا تلوموا العراقيين على الحرب الظالمة التي فرضها صدام عليكم فهي انفرضت على العراقيين قبل ان تنفرض عليكم كل الحب من العراق لإيران العظمى ❤
As a Brit, I’m so sorry for what our countries did to yours. We were lied to by our prime minister we believed we were saving you, not destroying.
As an American, we also apologize to the Iraqis, y’all had nothing to do with 9/11.
Y'all are now supporting Israel and an ongoing genocide of Gazans. The west never change.
Now stand with Palestine before the same thing happens. Coming from an Iraqi 🇮🇶
you did less than we did! and it wasn't really a lie, it was misinformed idiocy. and we believed it! The US effed this up bad. we had no reason to attack or drag the brits, poles, and many others into the fray. we believed the WMD BS.
@@mr.rocket5835shit they stole the land to
Iraq really got shafted and so undeservedly. Their rewards are way overdue.
Its hard to read the subtitles when they put an ad over the top of it,SMH
Innocent iraquís and soldiers died for nothing :(
The Iraqi dialect is so beautiful.
Move there
Never let other country a reason to enter your internal country conflict. Go through history whenever nation is not united US is there to take advantage! Saddam was not a great man but iraqis needed own internal revolution not an external power invasion
Especially when that country knows nothing about your culture and history or language and has white supremacists in its leadership
I feel bad for the juice seller i understand his pain
It was a fast developing country in it's hey day. The West must have been bitter seeing their rapid progress and therefore stirred internal trouble. Sad to see the state of affairs. Hope none of the countries that took part in Iraq's destruction, never win a contract there
You should look up the cruelty and brutality and Saddam Hussein and then also the poor character of his sons especially Qusay Hussein and Uday Hussein. Both of them used to boast about their cruelty and used to treat their servants and associates with treatment worse than you are allowed to treat a pet dog with in most countries. Qusay Hussein was granted the position of coordinating Iraq's Olympic football teams and personally tortured the players he was meant to be coaching and Qusay was designated to be the heir but would publicly boast about his enjoyment at physically torturing captured enemies. The whole lot were psychos.
That rapid success somehow had to involve invading Iran and Kuwait?
You blame this on Western jealousy? 😅
طيب و ما دخلكم في هذا ؟؟؟ اذا كان صدام حسين و أولاده متوحشين أم لا ما دخلكم انتم@@jacksonfolly

US Government: "We will give you food, roads, sewage systems and electricity."
Really? They don't _give_ us those things here in the US.
Hard to believe Americans are expected to earn their own living.
@@khabbad And earn a living for others, too apparently.
It’s sad to see as a European what the usa and unfortunatly other european armies did to iraq and Afghanistan. I have so many iraqi and Afghan friends they have nothing bad to say about my country or anyother they say even though our country was destroyed our people became stronger than ever. That’s a powerful saying if any. Hope to see the middle east rise from the ashes and inshallah unite our 2 sides (middle eastern & european) we have the same enemy

Thank you for the freedom and democracy, USA 🤡🤡
it was a conquest for resources, which has been going on for literally all of history, how is it different
and doesnt every leader in all throughout history lie??
My heart breaks for Iraqis 💔
As a western person,i hope you can forgive us one day
Our democracies have failed you
I am sorry
I am Iranian and I am tired of all those videos portraying the Middle Eastern as victims of the West. Does the world honestly think we are monkeys that can easily be manipulated?
We all know why we clicked 😂
Compare and contrast the protesting youth of Iraq and protesting youth in America.
It takes us 5 years just to repave a road in the states. Give it another 20 and then maybe theyll start on the sewage and electric
Do you mean they repave the same road every 5 years? Why?
And yet people support the Ukraine war with no skepticism or desire to research the history of it just blind acceptance
Russia🤮🤮
the US can take a country, maybe not hold it but they can sure topple a government. russia failed this against a weaker country with a smaller army.

Im glad Iraq is healing now. Hopefully it will develop further into a great country in the middle east in the coming years
U.S should've not intervene Iraq's dictatorship problem in 2003, it's was unnecessary and also not beneficial for America
Uhhh you see how much oil we got outa there! 😂😂
Iraq did it to itself.
Show some compassion
Smartest American
Bush and Cheney Never forget Cheney who profited from building oil wells immediately after the invasion but Iraq belongs to it's people. You now have the freedom to build your country with new ideas. However, a great number of Americans lost their lives and limbs in Iraq. I pray for humanity that your people prosper and rebuild.
25% of the worlds oil and the Iraqis are poor
Maybe a Theocratic Dictatorship is a terrible system
What?
The money went too Iraq but the dissidents spent the money on more war among themselfs
Would love to visit Iraq one day. I hope that it will be possible one day in the future
The people ARE the ones involved in capturing Saddam, what did they think that they will get from the USA UK?!!! May it be a lesson for all of us and I pray for these brothers , sisters and may Allah give them patients Ameen
So happy to see the Iraqi people are in a much better place now. Hope they make a full recovery
Are Iraqis against Saddam Hussain even today??
Haven't they came to learn the reality
Yes, well, not ALL of them are against him. Plenty of them support him while others don’t.
What "reality"? People who lost families in gas attacks against Kurds or which were slaughtered by his Mukhabharat and Revolution Guard cronies in 1991?
BUSH LIED ABOUT SADDAM ...
BCZ HE KNOW SADDAM END HIM .... BUSH AFRAID TO SADDAM
Saddam died because he turned his neighbors into enemies
That's what you got for siding with Westerners 🤦🏽♂️
Never make that mistake again.
And you learnt nothing
Iraq does have happy people and the Internet. The people are not constantly obsessing over Saddam

These people CANNOT stop killing each other no matter what and they always point to the US as the culprits of all their pain. Same with Haiti and the UN. Meanwhile you have Jordan and Kuwait all happy, and the Dominican Republic enjoy life as well. The US is guilty of many things but a little accountability and self-reflection would go a long way for these people.
They blew it. They had the chance to let the US elevate them in the Middle East and become a world power but they can’t agree on anything. Petty differences from centuries still hinder any real progress.

Because it was suppose to be a strategic stunt, otherwise he had 20 countries teaming up against him. Not saying it was right obviously, but on the flip side it was a wake up call for Israel as they uncovered weak areas in their defense system. Also there were nearly no deaths I believe
