Interview with Dori Smith on Talk Nation Radio, December 13, 2006
Journalist Dahr Jamail speaks about the reality of the Iraq Study Group Report and what is going on in Iraq today: US support for death squad militias, US air attacks, and the steady intensification of the violence. If US forces withdrew there may be a potential for the Iraqis to contain the worst perpetrators of violence, but without a major policy change the potential for worsening chaos and wider war persists.
Interviews with some decidedly angry Iraqis who are refugees living in Amman, Jordan.
Amman, Jordan — It isn’t difficult to find Iraqis in Amman nowadays. The word on the street is that somewhere around half a million have come to Jordan over the last couple of years, seeking security and/or jobs, since they have neither at home in Iraq.
“The American troops have not come for the benefit of the Iraqi people,” says Mohammed Majid Abrahim, a fifty-two-year-old former resident of Baghdad. “They are stealing from the Iraqis, and now all our problems are because of the invaders.”
