Inside Anbar - Iraq
August 2007
The 'almost breathtaking' turnaround in Anbar is often held up as an example of US success in Iraq. In the second of his exclusive embed reports, Sean Smith reveals what life is really like there.
The village in Anbar is a ghost town. Notes on every door say residents fled because the Americans killed five people. "These people are obviously scared out of their minds", states a marine. Another soldier tries to reason with an Iraqi who wants to file a complaint. He accuses the soldiers of killing his brothers and stealing his money. "It wasn't marines", protests the soldier. "But if they did do it, they did it for a reason." Back at camp, men speak of their desire to return home. "My mum hasn't seen us together in almost four years", states one. "No amount of money is worth being here".

Anbar Uncovered - Iraq
September 2007
President Bush may be hailing Anbar as the surge's great success but does this analysis hold up? Locals claim the US is sending in hit squads to take out insurgents - but they're killing the wrong people.
"Everyone's gone. We're scared to stay here because of the random killings", claims one man. Notes on every door say the residents fled because; "the Americans killed five people at night for no reason". Surge tactics are to patrol this area on foot. But the few people the marines come across are afraid and suspicious. "These people are obviously scared out of their minds", states one soldier. Rumours of the American hit squads are spreading panic. The marines acknowledge that Special Forces are flying in but they're not told why. Instead, they do their best to try and win over a fearful population. Another day, another village, same story. "Two days ago, the Americans came and killed my brothers in their beds", alleges one man. "Look, there are bits of their bones, teeth and brains". "It wasn't marines", protests a soldier. "And if it's something the military did, they had to do it for a reason". The strain of long deployments in Iraq is clearly getting to these soldiers. Back at camp, they speak of their desire to return home. "My mum hasn't seen us together in almost four years", states one.

McCain Talks About Anbar Awakening...Before The Surge
Here's video John McCain on January 5, 2007, saying he is optimistic about Anbar because of our newly developing relationships with Anbar's sheiks (this is the so-called Anbar Awakening that began in 2006).
This was of course before the surge -- the very same surge he now credits with having started the Anbar Awakening.
H/T to HuffPo's Seth Colter Walls who found the transcript with McCain's remarks. Seth also has posted a thorough debunking of McCain's false claim about the "Awakening."
