New Fallujah video footage - important imagery to see , not shown in US
I added two more new and rare videos on Fallujah in Macromedia Flash 8 format. Some of it is possibly unpublished and came my way through a weaving path.

Press the arrow to start video.

I am sure some of it has not been shown - the first part of the first video in particular where a British nurse/doctor enters a hospital in Fallujah after first passing through an insurgent checkpoint. The head doctor is highly disturbed with the slaughter that has taken place and is followed by an interview with an Iraqi women who talks about the snipers picking off everyone on the streets. After, is some footage that the BBC picked up from a freelancer which was certainly not shown in America. It shows the Fallujans burying their dead en masse... men, women and children after the sacking of their city.

The second video is of a surreal shooting up of an Iraqi bus where soldiers are killing one minute and saving lives the next. It really reflects the confusion of Iraq - and the mix of emotion that rumbles through the soldiers as they morph from killers to healers in an instant.

Comments welcome. I worked hard to attain these clips and convert them for easy viewing.

I converted the video from Realmedia and WMV to Flash for bandwidth purposes... but you still have to wait and let the films load a bit before pressing play. The pages have been very busy anyway so please be patient.

The original RM and WMV files are available for download if you don't have the Macromedia Flash 8 plugin.

16. Yes
Remember those British guys dressed as Arabs too? I'm still wondering about that. And the Italian reporter. Why she was shot at.

4. Please kick and recommend if you can
I'd hate to see this fall off into oblivion. It's too important - maybe not as exciting and well produced as the Italian documentary - but it's raw and it's real.

11. I could not tell if the men on the bus were "bad guys"
I would not think the US troops would be patching them up if they were but then I saw the gun. But then probably everyone in Iraq has at least one gun these days.

Absolutely surreal. Thank you so much dd! Excellent work.

15. recap... video pages cleaned up...


I recoil with horror at the ferociousness of man.
Will nations never devise a more rational umpire of differences than force? Are there no means of coercing injustice more gratifying
to our nature than a waste of the blood
of thousands and of the labor of millions of our fellow creatures?

~Thomas Jefferson

This video is a montage of war. It's hard, fast and not very pretty. I was told it was ad for the US army but I find that hard to believe. Click here for Video - Only available in Flash 8.
