Sometimes bombings are good

admin — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 10:31:04 +0000

The suicide bombings in Baqouba, Iraq that left 29 people dead are not simply sectarian violence. Rather, the terrorists know they will be defeated in Sunday’s elections and are trying to disrupt them.

Unfortunately, the terrorists can lose the elections but win the battle.

Iraqis will long for Saddam yet

admin — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 16:58:02 +0000

Two suicide bombers killed 40 and wounded 150 pilgrims in Iraq near Karbalah. As the US troops are set to withdraw by August, Iraq may descend into chaos and terrorism.

So far, Shiite groups have refrained from retaliating for various terrorist acts against them. The Sadr militia and other Iranian-backed groups have shown restraint in order to avoid prompting Americans to delay the withdrawal. But after August, they will act.

When everyone else lauded the US Army’s surge tactics, we said that the results would be short-lived.

Attacks on Shiites intensified somewhat after the Iraqi Shiite-led government banned 511 Sunni candidates from the elections over their connections with Saddam. Under American pressure, Iraqi judges overturned the ban, which leaves us wondering, are those people in the State Department really crazy? In the name of liberal democracy—which does not exist in this part of the world—they ensured a deadlocked parliament in Iraq. A proper solution would be to give Shia parts of Iraq back to Iran, allow independence for Kurdistan, and let Iraq persist as a Sunni state.

Iraq: bombings as usual

admin — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:56:56 +0000

A female suicide bomber killed 54 Iraqi Shiite pilgrims and wounded a hundred more. Terrorists have really mastered their technology of explosive belts to achieve so large a number of casualties. Previously, a hundred casualties could only be achieved with a car bomb.

Obama stands by his promise to withdraw US troops by August, and leave Israel to deal with the terrorist nest created in place of Saddam’s stable regime.

Terrorists reap top death toll in Baghdad

admin — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 19:46:33 +0000

At least 121 people were killed by car bombs today. Iraqi terrorists are evidently fed up with Obama’s promises to withdraw, and long have ended their moratorium on terror.

Lacking the good sense to withdraw a year ago, the US Army will withdraw as Iraq falls apart. Obama took no lessons from Iraq, and is replicating the surge in Afghanistan—though a larger surge, in the end, did not help in Iraq.

Meanwhile, other Islamic terrorists killed fifty-four people in Lahore, Pakistan, in a series of market bombings.

In Iran, police arrested hundreds of rioting students.

Iraqis arrest Al Qaeda’s fake leader

admin — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 17:29:14 +0000

In a major show of strength, the Iraqi government claims to have arrested Abu Omar al Baghdadi, allegedly Al Qaeda’s chief in Iraq.

The problem is, al Baghdadi is widely considered to be a mythical figure, and the Iraqis arrested just a random guy.

78 victims: Iraq’s top result this year

admin — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 16:17:09 +0000

Iraqi terrorists killed seventy-eight civilians in separate attacks on Thursday. Just as in Vietnam and Afghanistan, the guerrillas keep attacking even as the occupying force announces its withdrawal. In Iraq, US troops closely guard themselves, and the terrorists are left to attack civilians.

Just as we flatly predicted, Shiite, Sunni, and Al Qaeda terrorists erased all the US military advances of the last year.

Recalling the last day in Vietnam, the Americans will need a lot of choppers.

Palestinian refugees eye Kurdistan

admin — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 16:33:06 +0000

Abbas apparently does not expect a peace treaty with Israel soon, as he is working on relocating Iraqi Palestinian refugees to Kurdistan.

Iraqi Shiites—the very tribes supported by the US Army—massacred hundreds of Palestinian refugees in sectarian violence. While the leftists and “human rights” organizations lambaste Israel for accidentally killing a few Gazans during the war, Iraqi massacres go unreported in Western media.

Obama plans withdrawal from Iraq

admin — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 07:03:18 +0000

As the terrorist attacks mount in Iraq, Obama’s administration announced the first withdrawals: 12,000 in the next six months. The American withdrawal sends an unmistakable signal to Iraqi terrorists: have no fear. They can start digging in and regrouping to overthrow the fledgling government once its American puppeteers leave.

Since the US troops have to withdraw in less than two years, they will begin scaling down their activities in the next few months. In order to claim overwhelming victory, terrorists will intensify their attacks so that the American withdrawal will look like a retreat under fire.

Unable to stop Iraq’s descent into terrorist anarchy, Obama has little incentive to renege on his promise to withdraw by 2010. His actions, however, are unpredictable: he might want a victory in Iraq to cover for his domestic economic failures, or the military-industrial complex may push to continue the Iraqi war as an anti-recession measure.

The best thing to do about Iraq would be to dismember it into Israeli-controlled Kurdistan, the Sunni triangle, and the Shiite part, which would be returned to Iran, in exchange for ending its nuclear program.

Iraq will try American soldiers

admin — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 22:03:05 +0000

The US-Iraqi security cooperation agreement subjects US soldiers to Iraqi courts. Technically, the courts’ authority kicks in only in cases of crimes, but almost every killing can be termed a crime: how do the Americans prove they killed a terrorist rather than civilian? And occasionally they kill indisputable civilians.
The Iraqi puppet government conditioned signing the agreement on the jurisdictional provision. Apparently, Americans want to stay in Iraq more than Iraq government wants them to stay.
The provision is astonishing. Occupational forces never submit to local jurisdiction. The provision is unlikely to be carried out in practice, but it sets an extremely dangerous precedent in international law.

Iraqis receive $130,000 each from Israel

admin — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 18:33:53 +0000

Fifteen years ago, a number of Iraqis crossed illegally into Israel: they claimed persecution by Saddam, something which any Iraqi could claim. Naturally, they were jailed for the crime of crossing the border illegally and on suspicions of spying for Saddam. Which is also natural, since Israel is an unlikely destination for an Iraqi refugee: why wouldn’t they settle peacefully in Jordan after escaping Iraq, as they claimed? Naturally again, Israeli security service tortured them a bit, which is something you do with spies.
After sending six years in Israeli jail, the Iraqis sued Israeli government, and the court awarded them $90 per day, even though Israeli jail must have been a better place for them than Iraq – if, of course, they were not spies.

Curiously, Israel’s is the only army which shrinks from blowing mosques. On many occasions, Israelis accepted great risks storming the mosques instead of blowing them together with terrorists who barricaded there.

101 casualties of suicide terrorist attack in Iraq,

of them 26 dead. Suicide female bomber blew detonated her belt among Sunni pilgrims near Baghdad. Continuous terrorist attacks in Iraq, usually with massive casualties, testify to the failure of the American policy there -which should have been evident to Bushies years ago.
Iran supports Iraqi insurgents to keep the US troops up to their neck in the war so that the US assuredly cannot open the third, Iranian front besides Iraq and Afghanistan.

Iraqis prepare for the US withdrawal. Terrorist war in Iraq intensified in the recent months. The American military tactics could not be efficient in Iraq for long, and the country will lapse into civil war until a Saddam-like dictator arises.

Fighting is back on Iraqi streets

The Mahdi Army of an Islamic thug Muqtada Sadr kept the self-imposed cease-fire since August, allowing the US troops to claim pacifying Iraq. For some odd reason, the Americans and Iraqis raided Muqtada’s neighborhoods, arresting hundreds of his supporters. Now the Mahdi Army is back, fighting in Iraqi towns from Baghdad (Sadr district) to Basra.

Iraq: here is why

A Lebanese who translated for Saddam during his interrogation by the US forces, answered the two most puzzling questions in the interview to CBS. According to Saddam, he boasted having WMD to deter Iran, even though he had none. Iraq attacked Kuwait after its US-backed princeling arrogantly told Iraq’s Foreign Minister that Kuwait would not share the revenues it received from Iraqi oil fields during Iran-Iraq war, and would love to see all Iraqi women prostituting for $10.

Al Qaeda answers America

admin — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 16:12:28 +0000

Following the US Army’s tactics of non-democratic alliances with tribal entities in Iraq against Al Qaeda, the terrorist group stepped up its bombing campaign, killing more than 50 Iraqis yesterday.

Iraq allows US officials limited travel

admin — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 15:44:37 +0000

Iraqi government lifted a curfew imposed on the US Embassy officials in Baghdad traveling under Blackwater protection. Iraq banned US convoys with Blackwater after that security company killed some Iraqi civilians – not a big deal during the war which claims thousands of civilian lives monthly. Corrupt US officials outsourced embassy security to private security firm Blackwater USA despite hundred fifty thousands US troops available in Iraq for the job.

US policy successful in Iraq

admin — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 14:54:39 +0000

Besides building non-democratic alliances with tribal leaders, US Army and CIA managed rapprochement with Baathist Islamic Army. Islamic Army fought Al Qaeda in Iraq and now declared Iran the major threat to Iraq’s stability. While Iran threatens to attack US bases in Iraq in case a strike against Iranian nuclear facilities, the US seems to painstakingly create a real threat to Iran in Iraq. Insurgents like the Islamic Army can attack Iraq’s Shiite population and conduct cross-border raids against Iran, putting Iran on hopeless defensive against American-sponsored terrorists.

Senate grills Petraeus

admin — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 13:48:07 +0000

Politicians and the general define the victory differently. Barred from winning the war by the standard military method of crushing the resistance with all the available means, General Petraeus resorted to the second-best option: a string of tactical victories. His excellent troops flushed Iraqi insurgents from one stronghold after another. Petraeus even managed to abandon democracy in favor of tribal alliances in Anbar province of Iraq. Though the alliances with Sunni minority, copying Saddam’s power balancing, are temporary at least due to habitual treachery of tribal sheiks, Petraeus buys time to destroy Al Qaeda in Iraq. On tactical level, he is quite good. Israel learned in her conflicts with Palestine and Lebanon that tactics don’t cover for the lack of strategy. It is possible to win every battle and lose the war for the lack of realistic political objectives. Generals cannot save the day for American politicians.

US strategy at work: 1,809 Iraqis dead in August

The death toll of the US invasion of Iraq long surpassed Saddam’s brutalities. Though the US Army operates brilliantly and scores tactical victories, lack of strategy dooms the Iraqi campaign. The US invasion will leave Israel to deal with failed Iraqi state, terrorist haven.

Iran, Kurds gear for a war

Senate Republicans voted against withdrawing 158,000 American troops from Iraq. Bush earlier promised that the invasion would end if the Iraqi government fails to meet the security-related benchmarks. The Iraqi government failed on every benchmark but Bush insists on the US participation in the Iraqi civil war where the US forces are a problem rather than a solution.

Bush’s vision for Israel: a democracy functioning despite continuous violence

admin — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 13:01:58 +0000

In an unusually realistic assessment of Israeli perspectives under the American Roadmap plan, Bush hailed Israel as a model for Iraq. Presumably, if Israelis do not want to travel down the Iraqi road, their should reject the American peace plan.
The American president said he envisages a victory in Iraq as “a dawn of a Middle East where leaders are at peace with their own people.” Sure, and wolves with lay down with lambs.
Bush is so removed from the facts. He claimed that soccer matches and crowded markets are signs of normalcy in Iraq. In fact, soccer matches never ceased in Iraq and markets were always crowded as most Iraqis buy food there.
Bush defined a new American goal in Iraq: democracy there must function despite the car bombings. In other words, America can withdraw anytime, since Iraq already has a functioning democratic façade. Israel will be left to deal with a terrorist state of Iraq, a mega-Gaza.
