Arab Journalist Discusses Iraq

Shadi Al-Kasim is an Arab freelance journalist who has worked in Iraq. He has a unique view on the war and occupation of Iraq that most Americans will never see in their media.

Al-Kasim on dealing with insurgence:
. . . the American government should start seriously think to negotiate, not the insurgents, not Al-Qaeda, because Al-Qaeda are terrorists. The organized fighters, resistance groups in Iraq, to reach a ceasefire with them and to start negotiating them and get to know exact what they want to do and what exactly the need from the American army, the American side.


Continuation of current course:
The killing will increase widely in Iraq and they will have civil war very soon.

Thanks for tipping me off on higher resolution video. I have also included a permanent link to Alive In Baghdad on this blog's sidebar.

Good luck with the videos, when I get some time I hope to look over more of them.
