Iraq War: Shock and Awe Assault on Baghdad Begins (2003)

Any one else have child hood memories of watching 911 after school then. Sitting around with the family in 2003 and watching shock and awe.

[@maninahole]

Yes. I was 11 when 9/11 happened and 13 when the bombing raid happened over Baghdad. I vividly remember watching this in my parents living room. The reason I'm here now is because I have work colleagues who are too young to remember or weren't even born yet when these events took place, and I find that mad. I know I was a kid when all this went down, but I swear everything changed after 9/11. I remember police with guns everywhere, and I swear that energy has never left. It's like we've been on a high level of alert since then.

[@alvarotorres9057]

I was a little bit older; I was in high school. 9/11 and the Iraq war reminds me of MTV. I used to watch mainly MTV and they used to talk a lot about the wars. It’s interesting how much the country changed because everyone was more patriotic back then than they are now.

Saddam hussein(dictator of iraq) invaded kuwait unprovoked, took hostages, abused and killed kuwait civilians, and after several attempts of diplomacy and economic sanctions, saddam did not do anything. These attacks were coodinated with HI-TECH computers calculating where the bombs wre gonna drop. anyway to only hit specific military targets. Maybe do some research next time.

I was born in Baghdad in 2006. One day, my mom went to buy groceries when a bomb exploded nearby. Thankfully, she was unharmed. Shaken, she rushed home, witnessing people and women with severe injuries, their blood covering the streets. My grandfather, born in between the 1926 has lived through multiple wars. He once shared with my parents a horrific experience: walking down a street littered with headless bodies and blood. The US-led invasion, sparked by suspicions of Iraq's possession of weapons of mass destruction, left over 1 million innocent civilians dead. Yet, those responsible departed without apology. Shame on those who stood against us.

Lets not overdo it. USA also had reasons to attack certain nations in the Middle East. Also. The twin towers didnt get wiped out for no reason. You think if you attack the Kremlin that you wouldn't have Russia on your back? You think if you attack Beijing that China won't attack you? No. It was maybe for you a great great wonderful spectacle that Twin Towers fell. But also it's the same USA who didn't let any of that slip. And look at this footage. This footage is terrifying. USA has bizar powerdisplay, and most likely this is nothing compared to what they are really capable of. Anyway. My own opinion is that USA shouldn't have attacked Iraq. Also noone should have attacked USA. But American democracy has nothing to do with the fact they attacked. There are 100 democracies in the world and most of them are either pacifist or too pacifist.

Oops, - soo , the 9/11 attackers were not iraquis. ?

[@HchvChgf]

Iraq did not participate in the events of September 11, and we do not possess any weapons of mass destruction, but America commits crimes against people over and over again and makes up trivial excuses such as: If it had really known about human rights, it would not have attacked Hiroshima and Nagasaki. America killed innocent people and was the biggest criminal on earth. And still

[@antoniomanuelcaetano6770]

O que eu penso? Que foi Netanyahu que inventou que o Iraque tinha armas de destruição em massa e que os USA tinham o dever de destruir Saddam. E os USA foram lá, porque Netanyahu sabe que os USA são fáceis de manobrar. Netanyahu disse logo a seguir aos 911 que eles iriam ajudar e muito Israhell. E ajudaram. Não, não foram Sauditas... Não foram Sauditas a atacar o USS Liberty, foram judeus. Pensem um pouco. Pensem bem. Que tem o ataque ao USS Liberty que ver com 911? Tem muito. Tem tudo.

Incorrect, the estimated civilian casualties are around 100,000. Which is still a lot but considering Iraqs population at the time of this video was around 25mil there is no way a war where nearly a fifth of the countries population was killed would have stood.

John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus
