Iraqi Passport

I am an Iraqi born, US raised filmmaker. I started this blog to document my trip back to Iraq, with my Father, after being away for over 20 years. Part of this project will be a documentary video that I will be producing with my wife.

My wife and I both wrote in this blog during our Iraqi trip between January 29 and February 13th, 2004.

Today on CBS television, Paul Bremer boasted, "In the last three or four weeks we've seen a rather dramatic reduction in the number of attacks on the coalition. They are down by about 50 percent,"

I read this quote to my friend Hamoudi here in Baghdad. He raises his eyebrows and says,

"But attacks on helicopters has been up 100%. The resistance is finding it easier to attack the helicopters than the ground patrols. Attacks are not decreasing, they are changing. Doesn't Mr. Bremer see this?"
