News Clips shows the Iraq War
for what is really is, a war of conquest waged against a brave people
by greedy men for oil and power. It uses the trusted TV news sources
that most people rely on. The opening weeks of the Iraq War saw an
unprecedented level of news coverage. This 24/7 blitz was to sell the
war as reality TV. They obscured the truth with mountains of trash and
irrelevant coverage. Linux Beach has gone through hundreds of hours of
press conferences, talking heads, embedded and field reports from CNN,
Fox, CSPAN, ABC, NBC, CBS, BBC, CBC and Al Jazeera and distilled the
gems from the muck. We have strung together these gems into a montage
of clips that will alternately make you laugh and make you cry.
Ultimately it will make you angry. No one has come away from watching
this video still supporting the war. Length 61 minutes.

us in disarming him.”

“There is this potential
that because of the work that the men and
women did in Afghanistan, because of the work that is being done right
now in Iraq, that might spread throughout the region and what we see
now as a very dangerous belt may turn into a very profitable belt er
very helpful belt to the democratic cause worldwide.”

“When we go back to Bush’s
little speech this morning when he talked about restoring Iraq to its
people. What about Palestine and restoring Palestine to its people?”

“Do you believe that U.S.
troops could at some point down the road move into your country? Is
that at all a pre-occupation of your government or your people?”
“No it’s not. Because we believe the United States has its hands full
with the adventure it has started in Iraq. The political phase of the
post war era is going to be far more difficult and far more dangerous
than the current military phase.”

“The United States just
planning on just walking on thru here like it was going to be easy and
all that but it’s not so easy to conquer a country.”
