An Iraqi resistance fighter delivering a news interview becomes distracted by subtitles and argues with his companions about why they appear on screen.
0:00 Once a stronghold of forces loyal to captured dictator Saddam Hussein, the city of Tikrit here in northern Iraq is now firmly under the control of American forces. 0:10 Or is it?

I can't understand you speak English. I'm wearing your stuff, oh, you think you're so good. 1:37 Look at me! I got the papers. 1:41 Kerry Downs, Iraq. 1:43 Shut up!
