The Iraq I saw and filmed was hallucinatory.
The most hallucinatory was the training of what’s called “the new Iraqi army”. Accepting the fact that one day they’ll leave, the Americans are now trying to train an Iraqi army that will fill the void. The Americans, again, either due to naivety or to a vision I hadn’t grasped, or in the framework of that movie they’re in, are convinced that all Iraqis whoever they may be will abandon his fanatical aspirations as Shiite, Sunni or Kurd and enlist for one common goal that was drawn up in Washington.
According to news reports, an Iraqi solider killed a US Marine before he was shot and seriously injured by another marine.
US military statement: ''Just as we as American military men and women trust one another with our lives, we also trust our Iraqi counterparts, and that trust has not wavered."
