thanks for sharing, but believe it or not there are many americans who already knew this and have been saying the same things for years, long before Iraq and afganistan, they are just the latest....are government is full of it, but mostly of themselves.

I was impressed with the young guy. His observation that we had more in commen with the Iraqi working class than we do with the billionairs who sent us to fight was verry impressive.

not surprising the similarities, the key is in the word of the Rekigion itself....Islam....which translated, means peace and isn't that what most people truly desire, from others and within. and yet the fanatics or lunatics whichever you prefer seem to make most of the decisions on both sides.

sad thing is, he probably got chastized by all his friends, family and others for speaking the truth as he sees it.....oh well such is life.

Pieced together from the Iraq Veterans against the War conferences, Mike Prysner, Mar 15, 2008.

The only difference is a little editing where they inserted Obama's picture, and video clips.

Thanks for the Info I saw it for the first time yesterday. I cant help but notice how the mainstream media ignores things like this.

it's called control....not hard to understand

His purpose for speaking was to end G Bush's illegal war and occupation in Iraq.

A great speech by Iraq veteran Mike Prysner, who helped found March Forward! to fight the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and urge members of the military to refuse deployment there. A brave and eloquent soul.
"Our real enemy is not the ones living in a distant land whose names or policies we don't understand. The real enemy is a system that wages war when it's profitable, the CEOs who lay us off our jobs when it's profitable, the insurance companies who deny us health care when it's profitable, the banks who take away our homes when it's profitable. Our enemies are not several hundred thousand miles away. They are right here in front of us."

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron." Dwight Eisenhower

Our enemies are not several hundred thousand miles away. They are right here in front of us."

^now there's a great truth.....
