Iraq War Videos

August 5th, 2006

The last Gulf War helped CNN come to the forefront with its live 24 hour coverge. This War is putting sites like Yourtube in the spotlight as American soldiers (and even insurgents) are posting videos directly to the Internet.

The Pentagon does not encourage this practice and has even asked the soldiers to stop posting the videos. In the meantime, you can view soldiers in Iraq doing things like pushing overa porta potty while a fellow soldier does his business.
