"Now the Pentagon has a plan to turn the tide in cyberspace. A month ago it set up a YouTube channel featuring videos of its exploits in Iraq. The channel - clearly aimed at young people the Pentagon hopes to recruit to the US Army - shows a wide array of short videos, from street battles to night attacks on al-Qaeda to soldiers handing out footballs to grateful Iraqi kids," The First Post reported today.

Some time ago, YouTube signed a deal with Al Jazeera, a TV channel based in Qatar that is continuously showing hot information concerning the war. At this time, there are a lot of YouTube channels available to the users, most of the partnerships causing new pages on Google's video product.
