Through the eyes of Dr. Jamal Taha-Enad, an Iraqi trauma surgeon that Nightline has been following around Iraq for two years, this video provides a remarkable glimpse into life in Baghdad. Powerful and heart-wrenching, the video is also notable for evidencing the graphic violence of war — something almost unheard of in today’s mainstream press.
After the segment is a partial interview of President Bush by George Stephanopoulos that also aired on last night’s program.
UPDATE: Video pulled from Blip.tv and my account was shut down. I could not find video on Nightline site either. Please post a link if anyone comes by the video elsewhere. Thanks. (Alan Breslauer)
How bu$$h can consider Iraq an accomplishment in any way,.. shape,.. or form is incomprehensible. This man is lost in the fog of endless delusions,.. he does not have a clue.
If most people saw that, they would be outraged.. when the supporters see it they say “meh.. war is hell”, mostly because they don’t have to live in the consequences they created [by supporting this illegal and immoral act of aggression].
That’s why you don’t see these images every day, all over the media. Shrubby knows he can keep those on the fence on the fence if they don’t have to acknowledge the truth of what they are kinda supporting/encouraging [without ever really putting any thought into it].
Yes.. war is hell.. and a war that was started on a pack of lies for reasons that are still not well defined yet benifits a few who are making BILLIONS is not just hell, it’s an autrocity and an outrage. Yet, most people in this country aren’t outraged that their leaders have killed over 650,000 people so far… all in the name of “helping them”.
This recent Frontline episode on “The Lost Year in Iraq” is a MUST see – strong stuff:

Remember the movie scar face. The more cocaine Tony did the more delusional and paranoid he became. Once a drug addict always a drug addict.
Bush still has to be doing that crap. It’s kind of hard to believe that someone could be so stupid unless he’s doing drugs. Every speech Bush stumbles in his words just like he’s on something. Bush has no brain it’s been damaged years ago.
Just like Hitler except Hitler was doing Meth which was invented by German scientists, to keep the soldiers awake and fighting.
Just a thought about Bush. But the Hitler Meth thing did really happen. After I did a little reading about Hitler I see some similarities in Bush’s actions. It’s like Bush is trying to copy Hitler.
Your right OLDTURK, Bush has no clue.
It has been a success for George. It got him re-elected.
So, he’s a shallow guy. What did you expect from someone who said (to paraphrase) ‘America would be much easier as a dictatorship; but only so long as I’m the dictator.’
It doesn’t pay to hold Republicans to the same high standard we expect of Democrats. If they promise to obey the law it always disappoints. You’re lucky if they don’t seduce a bunch of teenage pages or invest a state’s retirement fund in rare coins and siphon off part of it to give to campaigns or rig voting machines to steal votes or accept a yacht as a bribe or jam telephones so Dems can’t get out the vote on election day or rip off an indian tribe to give money to a semi-religious lobbying firm or any other number of criminal activities or allow a 9/11-style attack.
If you want better government (nobody can promise perfection) vote Democratic.
And, if you want to help get out the vote:

Is it just me or does Rumsfeld remind anybody else of Skeletor? Did you read the article where someone from the pentagon (I think it was a general) says Rumsfeld says he’ll fire the next the next person who asks about a reconstruction plan, I think it was in The New Yorker.
Oh yeah, and POISON CANDY wasn’t looking too well in her last interview I glimsed. (I always turn it off when any of THEM speak.) I guess the weight of all that murder gets to you after a while.
We have to win this election for the children of Iraq. Some of those children were intentionally imprisoned and tortured as being dangerous.
As children during the cold war, we used to imagine what we’d do if the commies came into our country. We weren’t going to give them chocolates.
Thanks Nightline! That had to be seen and should have been seen before we killed 650,000 people. That would add up to well over two million injured for life.
I HOPE BUSH GOES TO HELL FOR THIS!
Once Bush and his henchmen are removed from power, they should all be roped together and dragged to that hospital for a tour of duty then they can witness firsthand all the carnage they have created.
SURELY, there are some corporations that can donate those much needed supplies and equipment for that angel doctor and his helpers. Is that too much to ask..!
Oh boy, oh boy! Our tax dollars at work!!
Please join me in voting in democrats to end this stupid insanity. Okay, maybe trading one stupid insanity for another, minus the violence.

Probably best to download Mike Malloy’s October 20th show and listen to him read it. While you’re at it get the show from the 19th too. Mike is in top form for both shows!
WARNING! These programs contain the truth, which may be offensive to some listeners!
There’s a different video that CNN ran that is truly disgusting. It really shows how incompetent the Bush administration is. Rummy has our troops walking around like ducks in a pond.
And CNN had the audacity to show it. (Did the “most trusted name in news” finally get some balls?)
