DEXTER MORGAN indeed

I swear he is always on the brink of taking a nap every interview lmaooo
"They made a dictator look like an angel in comparison to what we have right now." Still rings true in 2020.
More like I'm defending you from myself...
The American government NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER directly wanted to help the people of Iraq all they wanted to do was cripple and remove Saddam's ability to wage war military and economically, i.e. what Saddam tried to do to the Kuwait (i.e. blackmail them into submission by forcing them to pay him billions for the money they made selling THEIR OWN oil or he would invade, well they didn't cooperate so he started a war, a war that the US (and the Coalition of United Nations) ended for him.
The US never were there to help the Iraqi people, it may have been sold to the masses as that, but he was to topple Saddam's regime. Hence, why the Iraqi people are suffering now, the US accomplished their mission and left. They have no more business in Iraq now, well until ISIS started up and then was put to death...
So don't get the US's M.O. twisted, they did exactly what they set out to do...which was topple Saddam's regime so the Tyrant couldn't "get it the way" of us civilized people who aren't stuck in some religious fantasy, and just want to live our lives without having to worry about some psycho and his ego, not to mention that same psycho killing our people for no good reason. He needed to be stopped and was. Don't worry though the US will be back again after the next pyschos go ballastic. The US economy is just waiting for a kick start...just give them a reason and they will be back.
The US does exactly what Husein did and he did it with the US’s weapons.
Only because of he is sunni muslims. Muslim sunni people loved him despite he was cruel and brutal even for his own family.
@@ajcook7777 wrong saddam attacked kuwait bc they where stealing oil
It’s the void of power that made it hell on earth + US troops leaving the AO
0:17 whoever was standing in front of the statue just received the ultimate “what are those”.
This is a massively undervalued comment.
Loll
WE MISS U VINE ;'(
lol
That man went home and killed himself after being exposed like the rest in peace
That radio crackling noise at the start tells you this documentary's going to be good
Chris Huang oh yeah buddy...they don’t have these any more.
Lol
the best line is" America made a dictator look like an angel"
Sudipto Saha agreed
Xx_CheetohFingers_xX he killed 150 people not whole ethnic groups
@Xx_CheetohFingers_xX I hope you are being sarcastic toward Maher Al Khatib of the United Arab States, as his claim of only "150 people" killed by Saddam Hussein is thousands upon thousands short.
@@TheGuy030770 US troops killed more than that and left the country more divided
*_They make a lot of dictators look like angels._*
Can we acknowledge that they banged out some decent riffs.
That's what I was thinking. Drummer was on point also
that fake bomb detecting device is one of the most moronic contraptions I've ever heard of so hilarious ..it literally has business cards in it
@Xx_CheetohFingers_xX they said the guy who made it was a fake and it operated like a ouija board. That's totally fake. It was a piece of plastic with no bomb detecting capabilities that the creator made to scam everyone.
@Xx_CheetohFingers_xX what are you saying? The man who created the device went on trial for peddling fake information and selling a device that doesn't do anything. Did you watch the video? They showed the guy who made this device in trial. It's a piece of plastic with a metal waand sticking out of it with some paper inside. It's trash that doesn't do anything. Are you saying this fake device could work? Because it's a fake device.
@Xx_CheetohFingers_xX the defense forces want to believe otherwise they'd have to face the reality they're hoping imagination will help them. And so many people were fooled cause of the marketing. That's why the creator had a trial and was sentenced, because he misled and lied everyone into believing it. I don't understand what you're asking or stating.
@Xx_CheetohFingers_xX It makes sence that many people were deceived to beleive it's real. When people are controlled by fear (like being afraid of an i.e.d) they will beleive almost anything that's put forward to "help" them. Which is exactly how they sold so many, he took advantage of there fear.
I'm British & can categorically say something needs to be done with that guy that sold them that machine putting people's lives at risk 🤦🤷

(look at iraq now)
The fucker was right
Gadaffi at middle eastern summit told all those countries in the Middle East not to trust USA now majority of the Middle East has been bombed out
@@MongaBoyz123 Medvedev's fault. Putin told him to veto the UN invasion of Libya, but he didn't.
He might have been right but he was definitely not defending Iraq, he was pleading for his own life and power. This is one of those situation of the evil you know against the evil you don't.
@@ZJC1234 Thanks for your service, even though the Iraq War was a morally corrupt invasion. Those who join the military to serve, regardless of their reasons, end up furthering a worthy cause (albeit imperfect).

There's nothing wrong with America or the American people, most Americans just want to work, spent time with their families/friends, BBQ some go to church. The US government is an entirely different story
The American people have no control over "their" government. Politicians are actors and puppets who do what they're told by the real power in Wall Street, government bureacrats and JUDGES, and the military/intelligence complex. America is not a democracy.
@Stephen Jenkins You are brainwashed. US is not democracy. It is controlled by the elite.
@Stephen Jenkins i read a lot of books about politic, history and economy. maybe i got brainwashed.
Let There Be Truth oh really and what about those who support the government’s action who happened to be the regular citizens that you mentioned
@Stephen Jenkins u must be stupid lmao
We fucked up in Iraq. Regardless of our intentions in going in, the truth is we seriously fucked up.
+The Many Mancer
That happens when a foreign culture tries to fix things for another nation. It was an impossible situation, and now we have ISIS.
*****
You mean Saddam Hussein should've continued to rule? I disagree, but somehow it just isn't our place to decide for another country who should rule them. We could've approached things differently, with information and education. We have the means to do that even when we're unwelcome, we do it all the time in other countries with dictatorships.
you came in the name of freedom but you were more dictators more harmful destroyed every thing in this beautiful country
+Zhawq AmaDraque isis is the product of abo ghreeb prison
+The Many Mancer i think you're taking on a little too much of the blame, i think history will show that iraqi's and what's left of saddam's regime fucked it up. intentionally. I think saddam was such a destructive force that he continued to destroy that country after he was dead and hung. He even left instructions, that were followed out on what to do after the "Fall of baghdad" he pretty much laid out a blue print for the destruction of that country, which too many baath'ists, and other people who probably saw the power vacuum open and longed for the power or material wealth he systematically raped from his country. the guy was such a bad guy, to the extent that most American's can't even appreciate. All the shit isis is doing now is the same shit his cronies did in secret all along. Done by essentially the same people, beheading is such a middle eastern cultural thing it's no doubt to me that his cronies are behind it. I think it's still yet to be seen, and often people have short memories. I doubt these new programs talk to any people who were killed by Saddam. the guy killed his own family, women, children. he may or may not had WMD, we'll never know. but he was holding his people hostage.
"America made Saddam look good" Can't argue with that...
Saddam was actually developing Iraq's economy rapidly before USA intervined
Iraq and Syria would have less crimes , terrorism , Rapes if Saddam Hussein was alive today
@@sumeersamarat706 that's why they took him out!
@@tsotas1967And that’s why they are crippling Germany’s economy recently.
If anything this video proves that everywhere the US intervenes it gets even worse, Iraq, Lybia etc etc
I think thats what theyre trying to do.
That guy talks whole day about eliminating Western culture. Goes home and plays Metallica
alot of confused crowds in that region that dont know much about the past not realizing the music they listen to is western influenced, i feel bad considering not their fault just the confusing enviroment theyre in
there's a difference between appreciating other cultures and having them forced down your throat by often military means.
You talk shit about Eastern culture, but you use cameras, go to a doctor, use mathematics, have a fucking social infrastructure, etc.
Metallica is hardly 'Western'.
@@fishshit iraq's past is not islam also
@@fishshit iraq past is not islam
That Iraqi metal band was really good. The drummer and guitar player had serious chops.
one of US mistakes is dismantling of the old Iraqi Army,
It was designed that way for the benefit of Saudi Arabia and Israel,
waverunnerMN But the US is pro-Israeli, so it wouldn't damage the US
we should have stayed and help protect muslims by beheading those who will not convert to Islam....... ww3 check Revelations love to yah :) now we gotta bomb :(
If you even. Think about. Me little. Milton
You are absolutely 100% correct.
Those Iraqi soldiers ended up as unemployed masses, who became susceptible to radical propaganda, and started killing US soldiers. A point missed by the brainless "Go 'Murica" groupies.
They basically created their own opposition.
Fools without logic.....
They should make a part 3 to this, now that it's been 10 years since this video
One of best documentaries I have seen recently, thank you!
So! Baghdad has turned into an mmorpg?
+Looncan LOOL
+Looncan lol the terror groups are like the clan
+Looncan Indeed George Bush's are the developers and the Americans' taxes are the Publishers
+Looncan How sad when a Nation get destroyed in the name of Democracy and Freedom while the true reason is to suck their oil and to have more power in the Middle East
While the people of Iraq has gained nothing better from what was before and now
Even before is better for them atleast there was more security.
More like a battle royale
I would love a Part 3 of this. How things have changed even more for the worse. I am so sorry for the Iraqi people. I am so sorry for any innocent person that has lost their well-being. This was a huge insight. I wonder now, how the Iraqis feel. Peace my friends. Much love.
we feel like shit that's how we feel, and now we have to fight with ISIS which brings fighters from every fuckin country in the worlds to fight against us in our fkn land
Polizei1945
The Tower of Babel is not something to behold. It challenged God's power.
@@allenb6973 wt?
That is a very noble thing of you to say, to appreciate the horrors the innocent population of Iraq have been through. The way they see it yes Saddam was a snake n had to be removed but not in the haphazard way the US & the UK principally did it. They cut off one snakes head but another 10 have appeared now 😔. If there was no clear plan to maintain a functioning structure in Iraq after removing Saddam, then they shouldn't have lied about WMD'S and gone in and destroyed the whole system in place and with it millions of lives lost let alone others irreparably damaged and displaced.
I’m an American born Iraqi I got to visit in 1997 I’m catholic... I’m not allowed back I only wish one day my son will be able to walk the dirt of my country. Listening to the men pray to God is very peaceful to me. Even though I was born in the USA I feel a calmness when I hear it. We all miss Saddam that’s the real truth. Saddam was a good leader he made sure
My people(Chaldeans) were always taken care of.
The guy with the long hair and goatee used to clean our laundry facility at JSS Zafaraniyah in 2009.
Which part?
No cap that’s fucking crazy
Amazing documentary, great quality. Thank you
suroosh constantly looks like he's hung over
saddam was cruel. but he had to be cruel to stop worse. now they have to deal with isis.
WAS HE AS CRUEL AS THE INVADERS !THE HIRED KILLERS ,THAT MURDERED ABOUT ONE MILLION IRAQIS ??AND STARTED ISIS...NO WAY !
ART DECO u. s suck I hate them for killing and invading every countries
Zak what country are you from i bet they are ten times worse.
who said he is a tyrant he fking rebuild iraq in 6 months, poor families used to get support with 13 materials monthly. electricity and petrol was almost free and water was free. Americans dont live as good as iraqies used to look at them university graduates are in dept they send rockets to the moon while there poor are homeless and their women are selling their selves for porn industry.

"Are you getting any help from the gay rights organizations in the west?" "No."
This is what truly upsets me about certain groups in the west such as gay rights and feminist groups, they think that they have it bad and don't do anything to help gay people and women that are actually getting persecuted and literally murdered in the middle east.
When in rome do as the romans!
Terdpushers
why do you think any western organization has any reach in middle east

"Worst thing US has done to Iraq is made Saddam look good, an Angel"
"He tried to kill my Daddy." G W Bush..
+Jt Wilson it was about dick Cheney who was the CEO of haliburton the CEO company rebuilds infrastructure destroyed during wars and the US or bush gave his company a no bid contract
Agreed, his cronies got trillions by "reconstructing" Iraq... Meaning lining their pockets and leaving Iraq in total disarray. Our now huge national debt went straight into our politicians pockets.
On 2Wheels i
W. Bush wanted to be better than his dad and kill Sadam. No.matter the conseqence.

@@mrg8890 ok? What's your point?
@@mrg8890 Actually, Iraq is much much better now! I can't believe how much worse Baghdad was! Now people hate Islamic militia groups and the face of Baghdad is changed completely, as the past there are hundred of music groups, night clubs and these things all over Baghdad, at the time of this report Islamic parties was controlling the whole country, thanks god things now is going better slowly!

Waleed Wahidi are u join into the army and fight those isis junks?
I love heavy metal in Baghdad and it was so great to see this follow-up piece it's amazing how much is improved and how much the culture seems to change
Yeah, singing about sure dog faced corpse and thinking that Saddam's era was better. Yep real improvement there.
A country can't move forward if it only thinks about its past which was still horrible to today's standard.
Would be cool to see updated one
The irony at 5.40 when they all got annoyed at that guy making noise with his bike
quiet a strong line for America(26:14)
I know it's awful but I can't stop laughing at that stupid 'bomb finder' and the C4 business card. Holy shit that's unreal. It looks like an RC car controller from '85. Sorry Iraq, that's a damn shame

we already know that since it came they failed in the test but there are some benefits to the government it's just one scam of thousands there are over a billion dollars missing from the country safe this is what happened after the invention
the guy got fucking 10 years for selling that shit to the iraqis 10 YEARS....
don't worry, even us iraqi think it's ironic.
Well done’!! I was completely enthralled through its entirety!! Thank you for giving the Iraqi people a voice !
As a muslim, the politicization of Islam is the worst thing that threatens this religion, cause at the end, islam or any other religion is a personal belief, and any one is free to belief whatever he think is right.
Tell that to the Shia, many Shia militias especially the Iranian backed ones keep killing Sunnis
Beautiful work, guys - I am extremely sad and depressed watching this, not becuase i knew nothing of it, I've certianly followed it all over all these years (it now being 2018) - but I'm touched by your handling of the material, the truthful naturalness and sensitivity you bring into it. Bravo.

Ay Kay wat?
WoWplayer527 little did we know what was to occur to iraq after the liberation from the tyrant saddam. Maybe it was best if he were still in power, no terrorist existed in his state, we know he did not have wmds, the war was a sham, we were sold a sham. Now look at the region

this country was actually peaceful under saddam. well, peaceful as long as people didn't get in trouble with saddam's government.
big like
Or unless you were Shia, or Kurdish then you were fucked no matter what you did."
I wonder, would the country be better under saddam?
how many kurds did they kill? 182,000? that is not genocide. estimates for the kurdish population range from 30-38 million.
thetoughguy jr. The world wide population of Kurds are around 30 million, most Kurds live in Turkey which is around 15 million. In Iraq it is about 10 million people.

is it possible to get contact infomation to book these bands (if they still exist)? would really like to have the play in my home town in belgium. Could fix a stage, food, sleeping place and an idea for a couple more gigs in any direction they'd want to go.
Has any updates on this story been made? Very interested to know how everyone is doing now. Insha allah.

Loki Savage How old are you? 5?
Loki Savage Yeah, clearly you are.
Well what would happen if somebody that believed in Sharia Law went and killed Obama and other politicians because they believe you're living life the worst way possible, with agony and destruction. How would you feel?
Besides there was no need to invade or help a Coup in any country Iraq went from a OUTSTANDINGLY DEVELOPED NATION to the most dangerous, poorest, lamest and shittiest country on Earth, same with Libya and Egypt. Let me ask you something else, WHY did Iraq's and Libya's gold reserve disappear when the new "Democratic, Capitalist, American" government arrive? Aren't you SUPPOSE to fix the nation? Not steal it...
Loki Savage it doesn't matter what the fucking plan was, the fact that u executed it badly and made everything worse. I am Shia myself, and saddam killed thousands of us, but it was better then than it is now. Since u fucks came in and decided that u wanted to 'help' u ruined everything the great country had.
So u say this shit to convince urself that u can do no harm. The plan was to topple the govt, take control of the oil n made sure that they fight each other. that way u dont have to pay real money to buy oil. u just have to handed them some broken ass weapon n get the Oil in exchange. n by this way u can destroy country after country like this who has Oil n natural resources in middle east.
i dont believe in HELL but if there is one u guys already book the first place.
they way u explained the plan of urs tell everyone how properly well educated u guys really r. before u talk shit about Iraq i wanna say GOOD JOB, only a real EVIL person can do what u guys have done. Made a dictator look like an angel. that sums up it all how amazing u people really r. Bring peace n trust everywhere u go. Every place u guys involve last 50 years with ur military r now a heaven compare to what it was before.
Pat urself back n i hope u have the best sleep. i know u guys can sleep through anything. just eat n shit, its what u guys can do better.
the next fight is climate change, because its a hoax made by China, right.
The amount of shit going in Iraq which is covered in this short documentary is a tiny slice of the shit-cake we have daily. We are equal to the other nations merely by having internet... And it's shitty too.
I understand that Saddam was a cruel dictator and an evil person.
However in the vacuum of power left many groups struggling for power including ISIL. A terror group MUCH worse than Saddam. Iraq and Vietnam are two wars the U.S should never have gotten involved in.

america made saddams reign look like childs play
he kept order through fear and intimidation. Just like kim jong un. Do you prefer the north korean govt over the south?
good point
I prefer south
remember when the journalist threw his shoe at Bush during the news conference? 1. what do you think would have happened to that man AND his family for doing that to Saddam? 2. Why did he get the courage to throw his shoes now? Because he knew he would not be killed- that's the difference. If you would like another dictator be careful what you wish for.
we got another dictator ..... Obomba

Everyone watch him at 24:44... I swear he is always about to take a nap. The electricity came on and he adjusted his shirt and then rolls his eyes as he ask him for more information. I’m actually deadddddd lol
Iraqi's are praying for the days of Saddam to return.
well, he is dead so.....
Imas Sakin he ded
i can see a similar Leader appearing..
The guy was hanging around then the Iraqis put him in a Body bag
I'm a iraqi...don't speak for me.
You parrot the bull that you hear in the mainstream media. That same mainstream media that sold you the iraq has WMDs story and lead your countries into war in iraq. No iraqi prays for saddam to come back...saddam was the worst nightmare to have hit iraq and the entire world. No man is worse than him. Iraq under saddam was hell but he was a good friend of the west so no media came out of iraq so sheep like you did not know anything about what was going on there. Saddam was a nightmare and so too were the nations that replaced him...the US and the UK ...the cause of all iraq's problems for the last 100 years. If saddam still had a grave I would go to shit on it the same way we now go to tikreet to shit on the graves full of hundreds of thousands of ISIS corpses nowadays....thankfully, saddam sons' in laws' families dug his corpse out shortly after it was buried in tikreet and fed it to the dogs... and filmed it all on video....and when the iraqi army took over tikreet recently they levelled his tomb with the ground so there is no more of him left to desecrate and if there was all iraqis would desecrate it....this is the fate of all traitors....and all those who desecrate iraq from americans to their shills in the form of saddam and his minions.
iraqis wish saddam was back....lol...only in the mind of ignorant retards like you would iraqis wish this.
2020 where are they now
I miss Vice making documentaries like these all over the world. You guys have changed in the recent years!
Dude when they pulled those business cards out of that machine I lost it. You have to be kidding me 🤣🤣
"they're totally insane" just rides like a normal rocket group
Saddam may have been a cruel tyrant, with far worse sons, at least he kept all the groups in check and, at least on the surface, unified.
Cats & laptops (19:25) ... 😂 Universal I guess. My cat always walks on my laptop.
This is the Vice that I miss
hey still looks better than Detroit
It's not about how the city looks. I'm sure it looks better since there wasn't much shelling during the war to destroy buildings like right now in Syria but it's all about security, which is terrible in Iraq right now.
I feel for Iraq
hobie slug dont be talking about my city lol
detroid is like beverly hills compared to baghdad i wish we had the crime rate of detroid or chicago hhhhh
I dont think there will be peace in the next 40 years. ISIS, Economy, Government.. These things need to be done first..
And we hope, here in Europe, no more Iraqi and other nationalities will come here anymore..
***** You're absolutely right. The Iraqi refugees should go to America and leech paychecks off the US government. Europeans in fact disagreed with the Iraq war. They don't deserve this.
dragon888193ftw Yup. True! US started this whole shit. Now, they dont want to do anything (apart from bombing them).
Due to the next year`s election nobody want to jump into a war over there..
If the rep. win they will probably smash those mother fuckers.
I also totally disagree with the EU`s refugee politics.. We should protect our borders, not let them in. Slowly but they will destroy our cultures, religions, and everything that we ve built in the last 1500 years...
When that guy seen his mother after 2 years. The kid looked dapper. Clean cut. 🤙
19:08 he's thinking "great, now I'm in danger rn..
Look at the mother's reaction. Priceless. Selflessness.. Wonderful creation of God.

*He says* the detector effectivity is at 35-40%, that is even lower than "BOMB-OR-NO-BOMB" (50%/50%), and where does he get these numbers ?!?
Evil guy sells cheap trick at the cost of several lives and infrastructure!
And that chief that facilitates the use of crappy device must be replaced
Update! It's 2018.
Please?
Is this mostly filmed in khadamiya?
You can just feel the civilization fighting to break through the cracks
Son kissing a mom on her lips... Is a True love ❤
