A Citizen Of Mosul: Who will answer these questions..?

Who will answer these questions..?

What happened in Basra in the last week is well known to all of you. But the thing which is not known to all of us is why this is happened..?

This is an article throw some light on this subject, with questions to be answered.

Now it transpires that two British soldiers were dressed as Arabs and attacking the Iraqi security forces in Basra? And the British authorities have admitted they were members of the SAS? They were caught after shooting at and murdering an Iraqi police official and their car was found to be packed with explosives and a C4 detonator?

Or is it that the two troops were in fact undercover agents dressed as Sadrists, Al-Sadr's Mahdi army, trying to stir up a war in Iraq between rival anti-occupation forces to help the beleaguered Iraqi security forces to stay in control as events spiral ever downwards? Is it that they were planning a massive bomb attack against Shia targets, to blame on the Sunni?

Is it true that many of the killings in Iraq are not in fact perpetrated by Sunni extremists or foreign insurgents, but indeed by British and American security forces, trying to take the strain off their troops in their realization that the war in Iraq was a monumental mistake from day one, witness to freedom and democracy George Bush style and that followed by his sickening bunch of sycophants eager to make an easy buck on the international stage by breaking an international law or six?

At the end of the day, who are the terrorists in Iraq? Were not the international terrorists blocked from entering Iraq by Saddam Hussein and the floodgates heaved open by the USA and its allies? Was Saddam Hussein not the one telling the truth, along with Dr. David Kelly, on WMD? Was George Bush not the one "stiffing" the world? No? Where then is the WMD?

These are all questions which need to be addressed, and urgently, by the British and American governments.

We can assume the position of demanding an answer in the name of the international community. And now!!

waldschrat said...: I keep trying to figure out what will become of Iraq. The prevailing opinion in the western press at this point sems to be that it is unlikely that the constitutional referendum will result in rejection of the constitution because the sunnis can't muster the required 3-province 2/3 majority needed to veto it. However, at least one blogger reports that the public mood seems ambiguous and the voters who supported the parties that had the most influence in drafting the document may be split on the result (see ITM Link).

I guess if it were my country I'd read that constitution very carefully and try hard to figure out how to vote, and I would definitely vote one way or the other.; 9/27/2005 01:07:00 PM
waldschrat said...: johninnz said "But it seems so strange to someone living in a country where the ownership of a handgun or an automatic weapon is quite simply totally illegal, and has been for many years."

Customs differ, and one theory is that an electorate which does not have the power to enforce it's will by force if necessary is ripe for subjegation by a tyrant.; 9/27/2005 01:16:00 PM

"One thing that I wonder about is the original decision by the Occupation to allow every Iraqi household (or was it every adult?) to retain a firearm, isn’t that what happened? Do you legally keep a firearm in your house yourself? What was the rule under Saddam?"

Yes every Iraqi household is allowed to retain a firearm. At the time of Saddam no body is allowed to retain a firearm, unless he is a Baathist or a military officer.
We all bought an automatic weapon (Klashinkov) after the occupation. What is very interesting that the guns and automatic weapons were sold on the streets, by very cheep price. for example a klashinkove was sold by $5-10, The RBG missiles was sold by less than $1, every 2 hand bombs by $1. and so on. The people sold these thing at the middle of the day straightforwardly infront of the American troops.

I bought a klashinkov to protect my family and my neighborhood with other neighbors. and we did that perfectly until the american asked us to stop and they took the responsibility.

During one of the home raids, the National Quards took my weapon, they said they will bring it back later, but they didn't.

"Do you have any comment?"

I think what happened was a preperation for a future civil war, and now the time of this war is imminent.
They planned every thing from the start, and they execute their plans step by step. They are not foolishs, they are very clevers. They want Iraq not the Iraqis, so let them kill each other.; 9/27/2005 08:23:00 PM
waldschrat said...: I think it's interesting tha the US troops apparently tolerated the sale and ownership of weapons but the Iraqi National Guard confiscated TT's Kalashnikov.

Of course the US constitution says "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." That might explain the tolerance of US troops for folks having Kalashnikovs.

I wonder what law or principle the Iraqi National Guard was operating on (other than a desire not to get shot) when they confiscated TT's Kalashnikov.; 9/28/2005 02:10:00 AM
Truth teller said...: Good news

Last week we received a shippment of Ostomy appliances as donation from the FOW (Friends of Ostomates Worldwide-USA).
The shippment consist of 18 boxes containing ostomy appliances and accessories. We started distributing them to the patients today, as we have ostomy clinic in Oncology and Nuclear Medicine Hospital every Wednesday. By today, 30 ostomates received their supplies which are enough for about one month. They and so we were very thankful to FOW-USA and all women and men who made the delivery of these supplies to Mosul a reality.

I want to thank Mr Waldschrat for his very valuable assistant and wish him and all the men like him good health and happy and secure life.
Also, I want to thank all those who offered their help.; 9/28/2005 11:02:00 PM
Lynnette In Minnesota said...: "Over the horizon looms a referendum to ratify the country's constitution. Sunni Arabs are registering in droves, keen not to repeat the error they committed when they boycotted the national elections earlier this year. In their pride, and out of fear of the insurgents and their terror, the Sunni Arabs say that they are registering to vote in order to thwart this "illegitimate constitution." This kind of saving ambiguity ought to be welcomed, for there are indications that the Sunni Arabs may have begun to understand terror's blindness and terror's ruin. Zarqawi holds out but one fate for them; other doors beckon, and there have stepped forth from their ranks leaders eager to partake of the new order. It is up to them, and to the Arab street and the Arab chancelleries that wink at them, to bring an end to the terror. It has not been easy, this expedition to Iraq, and for America in Iraq there has been heartbreak aplenty. But we ought to remember the furies that took us there, and we ought to be consoled by the thought that the fight for Iraq is a fight to ward off Arab dangers and troubles that came our way on a clear September morning, four years ago."

Ertejaa said...: johnninz - the treatment of detainees under US detention can never be perfect. Face it. If you are caught shooting at police in LA, NY, or Chicago, and carrying a grenade, you will be treated rather harshly.

But funny thing is that you are complaining about US maltreatment, while Bashir Assad regularly pulls fingernails and blows up women newscasters (the Diane Sawyer of Lebanon), maiming them in the process.

If you cared about human rights, you would be directing your energy to where there is the larges violations happening (Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran, Egypt).

Your criticism is valid. But is misplaced. My feeling is that you care more about blaming USA, than you care about human rights. But of course that is not my business what you care. But it does reflect on your character, for whatever it is worth.

Peace; 9/29/2005 10:58:00 PM
Ertejaa said...: Hurria, the sweeps are not indiscriminate. Read the article by Washington Post on Talafar. The detainees were put in a lineup. The townsfolk and also some Islamic fascists who had agreed to cooperate with the authorities, picked the killers, torturers, and beheaders from the lineup. There are multiple credible witnesses to the crimes they have committed, in most cases.

You see, in Talafar, 75% of the population remained in town during the sweep, and about half the population cooperated with the Iraqi Army to capture the Islamic fascists and killers.; 9/29/2005 11:02:00 PM

Ertejaa said...: madtom - you are absolutely correct. Iran is manufacturing shaped charges and giveing them to Zarqawi and Sadr, so they can blow up the Iraq Army (which is composed of Sunni officers).

The British SAS officers were undercover to find the source for the IEDs imported from Iran. They need to find evidence against Iran, so when the US blows up an IED factory or an electric power plant inside Iran, they can show the world that the fascist Iranian Pasdaran's were responsible for attacking the Sunnis and Shiites inside Iraq.

Ertejaa said...: strykerdad - and when these oh so heoric and dignified Islamic "militia" run out of Basra men to beat into Submission to their ideology, then they go and find a couple of New York Times reporters, and shoot them in the back - in order to have done service to their ideology, and to avenge the arrogance of the Americans.

And while this happens, the western fascist left, members of which frequent this forum, applaud the vigilante's oh so heroic and romantic stand against colonialism, imperialism, and empirism, and call that the "rebirth of man" (Foucault).

One thing that TT does not realize is that these Iranian backed vigilantes (Mahdi and Fadhila) will unleash their terror onto the Sunnis, if they ever get the chance. The marriage of convenience between Shiite Islamism and Salafism and the Arab nationalists, will not last a moment, if the Iraqi Army were to be disbanded.; 9/30/2005 05:31:00 AM

"One thing that TT does not realize is that these Iranian backed vigilantes (Mahdi and Fadhila) will unleash their terror onto the Sunnis, if they ever get the chance".

One thing that YOU don't realise is that neither the Sadrists nor the Fadhila are "Iranian backed". The "Iranian backed" ones are the SCIRI-Badr Brigates and the Dawa: ie, the two major Arabic parties in the present 'purple-fingered' Government!
And the militiamen of these two parties are precisely "unleash[ing] their terror onto the Sunnis", in Baghdad and in most places where they are strong, and have been doing that for the past few months!
So it seems that you are being, at the very least, disingenuous...; 9/30/2005 06:06:00 AM
Ertejaa said...: an italian - Your knowledge is dated. SCIRI-Badr and Dawa had srong relations to the Iranian pragmatic, moderate-conservative and some reformist factions. These factions are now out of power in Tehran, and the ultra-right hardliners of the IRGC has taken over. Obviously you are ignorant about these developments, and you buy the line of Guardian and BBC, without thought.

The IRGC is a security organization and state militia. They are not on happy terms with SCIRI and Dawa, and especially with Sistani, whom they see is beholden to the Coalition, and a usurper of the Marja'.

The IRGC, a fascist movement, has clandestinely been backing Ansar al-Islam and Zarqawi for a while now, but has recently increased their collaboration and shipment of IEDs, explosives, and financing of these fascist elements.

Latest news is that there has been a raproachment with Sadr. Sadr has generally been unfriendly to Iranians. But now his interest and the IRGC interest has coincided. The blossoming of IED attacks in the Basra are attests to this.

Now regarding Badr's terror campaign against the Sunnis, you are repeating rumours that you cannot substantiate. I am sure there are isolated cases of revenge killings against Baathists and Zarqawists, such as against a few Sunni imams and insrugent killers. But you are wrong. There is no evidence of Badr unleashing systematic terror on the Sunnis.; 9/30/2005 07:30:00 AM
Ertejaa said...: Hurria - Yes, show Strykerdad all the reports on the "animal proxy militia" that have been doing something on a daily basis. Of course you need to show him credible reports from journalists with proper professional conduct and working for known media institutions. If you show him another kooky website like yellow times or asia times, he will not be very convinced unfotunately.

Yes Hurria, let us show him that it is not only OUR death squads than can build suicide bombs and blow 126 day laborers with the lure of higher pay. Lets show them that OUR assassins that go and shoot people at marketplaces are the good guys fighting for civil society, freedom and civil liberties, rule of law, human rights, and the rights of minorities (and majorities !!), at the rate of 600 innocent victims a month.

Good idea Hurria - but keep the kooky and loony fly by night websites to yourself, as it will not work with Strykerdad, I fear.

BTW still waiting for your consciousness theory.; 9/30/2005 10:01:00 PM
Giubotte. said...: @ Ertejaa, 9/30/2005 07:30:13 AM.

There is not a shred of evidence for what you state about SCIRI-Badr and Dawa, it is just your own wishful thinking. And your interpretation of the recent Iranian elections is quite silly and very simplistic.

There is NO evidence whatsoever that the IRGC or other State Iranian organisations have "clandestinely been backing Ansar al-Islam and Zarqawi" (especially the latter organisation) in any way.

A rapproachement with Sadr on the part of Iranian factions is instead possible, but would be in total contradiction with what you state about 'Zarqawi'; don't you realise it?

The Badr Brigades are most active in sectarian attacks against all Sunni (and secular Shia) opposing their brand of Islamic fundamentalism and the present Government, both in Baghdad and in Basra. Most reports do agree on this (are all Sunnis taking part in the political process you 'sponsor' a bunch of liars? Then why do they claim this much?). And it seems, BTW, that it was the Badr that stiffed your journo Steven Vincent.

Whom are you trying to fool?
Truth Teller? Hurria? Any Iraqi?

No, you are as usual trying to fool those who are already 'converted', i.e. your silly crowd of American warmongers.; 9/30/2005 10:52:00 PM
Ertejaa said...: An Italian, there has been at least a dozen major media reports that Iraqis have been complaining about an influx of bombcars and IEDs from Iran. Of course your ignorant self proclaims "there is not a shred of evidence ...".

Adaptive as ever, insurgents have begun deploying much more sophisticated and lethal types of IEDs, called shaped charges. Most of these manufactured bombs, designed to penetrate armored vehicles, are believed to be coming from neighboring Iran. And they are now being fitted with equally sophisticated detonating devices, aimed at bypassing electronic jammers.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/news/2005/09/mil-050928-voa04.htm

Ansar al Islam (associated with Molla Krekar) has bases INSIDE Iran, both before invasion and post-invasion. When the US bombed their laboratories in Iraqi Kurdistan on 4/2003, they all fled across the border as well. This is well documented. There is no way Ansar al Islam can be in Iran and receive help, without the active collaboration of the IRGC. It is time for the US to cruise missile some of the IRGC bases inside Iran in order to put them on notice for killing so many Iraqis.

Sadr has been a supporter of Zarqawi and Sunni Islamists throughout the insurgency. Read the news. Zarqawi has edicted that the Sadr faction to be exempted from his massacres, killings, and beheadings. Sadr's support of Sunni Islamist factions, including Fallujah terrorists, is well known and documented.

You are trying to rationalize based on your ignorance of Iraqi facts. You assume that since Sunni Islamists and Shiite Islamists belong to different sects, then you rationalize that their collaboration cannot be possible. Well, read the facts reported.

I asked you to back your drivel that the Badr Brigades are "systematically attacking the Sunnis". There is no doubt that there has been some revenge killings. But "systematically"? This is my second request. Provide link, or stop the ignorant rumours.

Your ignorance of Iranian politics is evidenced by you attributing the rise of the Iranian hard liners to "simplistic Iranian elections". As if Iran is a democratic state. Obviously you are ignorant about the factional and ideological strife withing the Iranian ruling class.

And then you are confusing the Badr Brigade with the Mahdi Army. It was the Mahdi Army that killed Vincent and has infiltrated the Basra police force, as reported by the Sunday Times and the British Press, among others. You are quite ignorant about the facts I must say. Just rationalizing nonsense through your western fascist-left lenses.

It is the Mahdi army that is attacking and kidnappng seculars in universities and on the street for deviation from the Islamist moral code. It was the Mahdi army that kidnapped students in Basra and beat them up, and then later had to apologize to them. This has been widely reported. Either you have confused Badr with Mahdi, or you are one malicious liar.

Stop making nonsense up. Show me a CREDIBLE LINK that the Badr Brigade is responsible for attacks on Iraqi seculars. Where are these "most reports agree on this"? Show me link or stop the nonsense. I will have to assume that you have no links.

"American warmongers"? You idiot - as per Christopher Hitchens, you are the war monger supporting the beheading army of Islamists hell bent on installing a Taliban regime of enslavement. Do you think your idiotic postmodernism is a matter of joke? Thousands of REAL lives have been terminated by your Islamist friends. Its your Zarqawist clique that is responsible for 95% of innocent civilian deaths in Iraq. Get an education you Italian apologist for terror. See www.icasualties.org.; 10/01/2005 08:55:00 AM

TT, several questions, if I am correct, you are a physician in Mosul (?) - so you are highly educated, and your english is excellent obviously. Obviously you would like to see peace established in Iraq, and there be a central Constitutional government.

1- Do you really think that Arab Sunnis are 45% of Iraq, or do you accept the 20% to 25% figure put out by the media?

2- How do you propose to prevent the civil war between the 3 main ethnicities and sects? Dont you think the presence of the Americans helps in preventing such civil war?

3- Do you think that when the Americans leave, that Iraq will descend into an Islamist state (like Iran, or worse like Taliban)? Do you want this to happen? If not, what is your solution?

Oh yeah, there have been. Only it was NOT the Iraqis, but CENTCOM and (after the Basra affair) the Brits. Credible sources? If anybody believes in it, then, you know, I own the Coliseum in Rome... I could sell it to you!

"Sadr has been a supporter of Zarqawi" (!!!!!!).

Now, 'ertejaa', it is OK to be a liar (at least, that seems to be the ethos among you warmongering Americans), provided one doesn't become completely ridiculous!

"Provide link, or stop the ignorant rumours".

If you had cared to read the news about Iraq from other sources apart from the US media, you would have known that many politicians did speak up about what the Badr Brigades are doing in Baghdad and other areas.

"simplistic Iranian elections".

I didn't mention ANY "simplistic Iranian elections"; I just said that YOUR interpretation of them was "simplistic". Please, do learn to read.

"you are confusing the Badr Brigade with the Mahdi Army. It was the Mahdi Army that killed Vincent".

No, me boy. It was Badr, it seems, that killed Vincent, not the Mahdi Army (yes, your 'allies' in the Iraqi 'Government'; but since the Sadrists have got 4 Ministers as well, they must be your 'allies' as well). Your ludicrous ignorance is well shown when you say "infiltrated the Basra police force". As is well known outside the US, the Iraqi Army, National Guard and Police in Southern Iraq are not 'infiltrated' by the militias of the Shia religious parties: they are MADE UP of said militias (Badr, Dawa, Fahdila, Mahdi Army, Hizbullah, and all the others). The Brits and the Italians (Nasiriya) in the South have been training them for a couple of years; and everybody vaguely familiar with the Iraqi situation knows it.

"your western fascist-left lenses".

Grotesque Pinocchio 'ertejaa', is Jacques Chirac a 'lefty'?
And since you are a four-handed fascist, it's rather cheeky on your part to apply the moniker to anybody else.

"you are the war monger supporting the beheading army of Islamists".

This is a very lame and silly slander; the only ones supporting armies of Islamists in Iraq (of the Iranian, not of the Taliban persuasion) are the demented members of the US Administration, and their even more demented supporters, like yourself.

Tens of "Thousands of REAL lives have been terminated by" the beastly American Government in Iraq.

"Its [sic, would be 'It's', I suppose] your Zarqawist clique".

It is YOUR 'mysterious' Zarqawist clique; ever heard of Juan Posada Carriles, of death squads, of all the criminal 'false flag' operations the US have been operating all through the word in the past decades?

To answer your questions up to my knowledge:

1- I don't think there is a correct counting of the population based on sects in Iraq, so the exact percentage is not known, a supposed counting of the Iraqi population at the beginning of 2005 was not done, I don't know why.!!
But definitly the no. given by the medias are not fair.

2- For centuries the Arab and Kurds lived in Iraq without problems. There will be no civil war between them if the foreigner pull their hands out.
The Sheeis and Sunnis are both Arabs, have the same religion, and are relatives related to the same tribes.
It is not enough that the American withdraw their troops from Iraq, there should be no interferance from out side countries in the internal affair of Iraq, mainly from US and Iran.

3- If you (the Americans) and others leave Iraq alone, Iraq will decide its own future, whatever this decision is, we will accept it as far as WE who will make the decision without out side pressure.; 10/02/2005 07:29:00 PM

Ertejaa said...: Hurria: Thanks to the Americans we now have in Iraq for the first time politics based on identity rather than ideology - a huge step backward.

So politics based on ideology is superior? Like when Pol Pot would massarce 2 millions Cambodians simply because their hands were not calloused enough at the fields?

Or when Khomeini of Iran murdered 100,000 Iranians because they were not submitting to his theocratic ideology?

Well, civil society has moved beyond politics based on ideology, which is fit for fascists and animals alike. In civil society, politics is based on service and programs - not on low level dime-a-dozen self-indulging ideology.

That should be your civil society education for the day, Hurria. Obviously you grew up in despotic and ideological backward culture and your identity is despotic. You really gave your identity away with this inane remark on ideology. "Territorial Sovereignty?" That was a nice joke BTW.

Giubotte. said...: @ Dear Pinocchio 'ertejaa'.

On the silly baloney you were mendaciously spewing about the Shia militias, do please read http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9558117/site/newsweek/print/1/displaymode/1098/

It is the latest 'Newsweek' article; are 'Newsweek' by any chance "left-fascists", or "Islamofascists", or anything?

A couple of excerpts from the article:
"As part of the hopeful U.S. vision imposed by then U.S. viceroy L. Paul Bremer, 10 militias nationwide were to have been folded into the new Iraqi military and police. 'This decision was never activated', says Ammar al-Mayiahi, Basra chief for the Badr Brigades, the militia of the Iranian-linked SCIRI party. 'And Badr is still in control'. In fact, several big militias are now operating across the southern Shiite provinces, often warring with one another for political and administrative advantage."

"Yet many local authorities are already deferring to the militias. In Sholeh, a predominantly Shiite neighborhood in western Baghdad, fighters working for the Mahdi Army of radical Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr recently allowed a NEWSWEEK photographer to accompany them. The commander, Abu Razaq, who had a black scarf wrapped around his head and an AK-47 slung low on his right hip, said he gets no trouble from the Americans or Iraqi police. 'We coordinate very well with the police', he said. Why are the police so compliant? 'They are too scared to arrest the terrorists when they have a target.

The actual election necessarily occurs some time later. In the interval of time between registration and the election, some people who registered to vote will die or change their minds and decide not to vote or be prevented by other events from voting. The number of "voters" will ALWAYS be lower than the number of "registered voters".

88% of Iraqis in Iraq believe Iran is resonsible for arming and financing Zarqawi and some Shias.

85% believe that the religious parties (probably both Shia and Sunni) are responsible for the Iraqi mess.

Honest from you to bring up the latest abhorrent sleight of hand that shows what sort of democracy and rule of law your country has inflicted on the poor Iraqis.

Since the Mickey Mouse 'Constitution' for the destruction of Iraq (not released to the Iraqi public YET, twelve days before the referendum) was going to be defeated, the pro-US gangsters and the pro-Iran gangsters in the wonderful 'purple-fingered' Iraqi parliament did agree on... changing the rules of the referendum!

I'm happy that even some US warmongering fanatics (like Madtom) are scandalised by this undemocratic trick, which shows the fake US-vaunted democracy to be a complete farce in Iraq.

As for Moron99, the foul critter is so disgusting that his reaction cannot surprise anybody. "Brilliant!" Oh, yeah, brilliant!!! It just shows to all patriotic-minded Iraqis that their votes do NOT count, that there is NO chance whatsoever to change the situation through the electoral process (because there are no rules at all! the powers-that-be can change them as they want!), and that the only hope to save Iraq is to support the armed patriotic resistance.

"I wonder if there is a court, Iraqi or otherwise, which has authority to overrule such seeming illogical decisions by the Iraqi parlaiment".

There is no such court, Waldschrat: the equivalent of a 'constitutional court' was to be created later on by the 'democratic process' (LOL!), only that according to the sectarian Mickey Mouse 'constitution' proposed the clergy should make up at least a third of it (sooo very secular!).

I could not agree more, I find it hard to believe that we had anything to do with it. How can this be, it all but guarantees a civil war. If you ask me, and I of course know nothing, it was the Kurds. I say that because they may use the resulting unrest to declare independence from Iraq.

The question of a court. I do believe that the three person election committee, sorry I forget what it's called. Is in fact a supreme court with everything to do with election. They should be able to overrule this. But I have no idea if they will. I suggest we start a letter writing campaign to make them aware of the issue

Bruno said...: [m99] “It sweeps from the table the option of ballot stuffing by controlling who does and does not go to the polls while at the same time forcing the sunni to encourage each and every individual to vote. It's a quite brilliant chess move.”

No, not really.

What it DOES do is stack the tables. Because then every non-vote is counted as a ‘yes’ vote. What if we turned it around and said that 2/3’s of all registered voters in a province MUST pass the legislation or it automatically fails? When the turnout for elections is less than 2/3’s? That would be fun.

All it’s doing is setting the stage for more bloodshed as more Iraqis realise that the so called ‘democratic’ process is actually predetermined, that the rules can be bent and broken at will in order to peddle the agenda of the US and its stooges. That the whole ‘democracy’ thing is a sham.

Anyone with brains who thinks a little about what is happening can only come to the same conclusion. The strength of democracy is partly because a result is supposed to be reached by submission to an equal process in which everybody participates willingly. If the result is predetermined, there is no fairness in the process, and hence it is merely a rubber stamp. It means nothing.

[m99] “…it significantly reduces the risk of civil war next spring.”

Funny, I came to the exact opposite conclusion.

[m99] “It forces the sunni arab to vote in order to avoid abdicating power.”

No, it raises the bar so high that it is impossible to vault. The only way to vault this bar will be to chop down the supports holding it up. Madtom, I hate saying this, but I agree with you. It is a recipe for civil war.

[m99] “What if the plan was monitor polling stations and try to ensure that only members of a certain veiwpoint voted in large numbers. That plan is now shot to hell.”

Ah, so you are saying SCIRI cannot prevent ‘Sunnis’ from voting? By merely passing legislation? Explain to us how that works, would you?

Ertajaa –

“58% of Iraqis want Allawi to be the next Prime Minister, and only 26% want Jafari, and form a naitonal unity government.”
Ho ho ho. I guess that’s why Allawi got 14% of the vote previously, even with the hundred million or so dollars the US pumped in behind him.

My guess is that the Furat ‘research centre’ is a US funded propaganda centre. The other polls I have seen paint a somewhat different picture. The Shia clerics, for example, command a great deal of respect.; 10/04/2005 01:12:00 PM

You'll need to expand on this further, I don't see or understand this empowerment by creating arbitrary rules at the last minuet concept. It would seem on the surface to be in contradiction to the usual rules of democracy.

Now I could see how people might feel empowered by a fair vote, even better if they are able to reject the draft, and then have to go back to elect a new interim parliament, one that would include a more balance representation, and then draft a new constitution. I could see how this would empower people and teach them the importance of participation in the process. And how it could pull people out of the insurgency. This I can see.
After all the work and suffering that this or any war brings I don't understand the value of half measures. My reaction is not emotional, but rational as far as I can see. I could be wrong.

I will get back to you when I have the time. First I will post the credible article by Sunday Times that those who kidnapped the 2 SAS agents were thugs from the Mahdi army, and I will blast a big hole in your incessant lies and concoctions.

It must be a bad hair day when the pro-Taliban crowd (Hurria, Bruno) have to resort to Shiite Iranian help, their foresworn enemy, in order to impose their Islamist dictatorship plans on beautiful Iraq, and deliver her to the Iranians.

The Marines and the 2 Battalions of the National Iraqi Army are killing and capturing about 100 Islamists per day in Haditha/Qaim/Ramadi. Hurria's friends the Zarqawists have lost Sada, Karabila, Haqlaniya, and soon they will lose Haditha - inshallah.

Even Al-Reuters is saying that Allawi will win the December elections with the help of the Sunnis, patriots and nationalists.

Truth Teller - the National Iraqi Army is run by Sunnis and former Baathist officers who love their country and understand that the only way for Iraq to become prosperous is to join democracy. The rights of the Sunnis can only be guaranteed under democracy, and not under Iranian Islamism allied with Taliban Islamism.

Giubotte. said...: @ Moron99, on the changes to referendum rules.

In the vain attempt to spew US propaganda about 'Good News from Iraq', Moron99, it seems that in your moronical zeal you overdid even your higher-ups.

Consider this latest news from the Associated Press (yeah, it's in the 'Commie' -LOL!- London 'Guardian' website, but it's just AP news in their Latest News):
http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-5321498,00.html

You wrote: "This [the changes to the referendum rules] drives a wedge between the insurgent leaders and the common sunni. It forces the sunni arab to vote in order to avoid abdicating power".

Anybody can see (and you can see from the piece above that even your Government sees) that this latest change to the referendum rules does just the opposite.

By revealing in the most direct way that the Iraqi 'democratic' process is a sham and a scam, it makes most Iraqis see that the only hope for the survival of their country is to fight in arms the simian invaders and their local minions (so, precisely the opposite of what you wish, and the precise opposite of what you say).
I should be happy, in case (if I were as cynical as you are), NOT you.

As Bruno has already correctly remarked, your "It forces the sunni arab to vote in order to avoid abdicating power" is especially stupid, since any patriotic Iraqi knows that with the new referendum rules his vote is completely useless anyway. No chance at all to reject the Mickey Mouse 'constitution'.
Ballots have no value, after the 'purple-fingered' Parliament's decision, so only the bullets count.
And, BTW, stop re-vomiting this silly figment, out of your own US propaganda, about "sunni arabs": the people concerned, here, are all patriotic Iraqis, including Shia Arabs, including Sunni Arabs, including Aramaic-speaking Christians, including Kurds. All the Iraqis who do not like to be ruled by the US, to be ruled by Iran, or to have their country broken up into little bits.

I do feel that you have some misunderstandings about the situation.

First, indeed the Iraqi Parliament's decision is 'finalised'. To 'de-finalise' it, a new and opposite parliamentary vote would be required, in the next few days.
Of course, it is a ridiculous situation a few days before the referendum, an 'opera buffa', not any kind of democracy: but that we already know.

Second, as for the supposed 'Sunni leaders', again you miss the point: regardless of the 'technical' wisdom of the decision to boycott the 'purple-fingered' elections last January, politically the decision was well motivated. A rejection of the way those 'elections' (LOL! where nobody even knew the candidates!) came to be, a rejection of the US invasion & occupation.

Third, when you write "were recently reportedly encouraging faithful sunnis to vote in the constitutional referendum, but are now AGAIN talking boycott after the purported rule changes", you miss the point that, of course, if there was a chance to reject the Iraq-destroying 'constitution', they had to take it; but now, since the rule changes are all too real, that chance is gone, so that the whole referendum is a sham & a scam. What would you do in the US, faced with a similar incredible situation? I suspect you'd just take up your gun...

BTW, even if you're mistaken as for the merit of the thing in this Iraqi case, the Italian equivalent of the English expression is a more brutal 'Tagliarsi i coglioni per fare dispetto alla moglie' ('To cut off one's balls just to spite the wife').; 10/05/2005 03:00:00 AM

Moron99, this was actually a rhetorical question. I was trying to demonstrate your clear bias against “sunnis” by pointing out the implications of the thinking behind your statement. Obviously it was a little too subtle.

My related point is that it will drive no wedge between ‘moderates’ and insurgents. They are one and the same, if you haven’t realised this yet. And, subjecting the country to an obviously stacked process merely demonstrates that ‘democracy’ only applies when convenient … having the OPPOSITE effect that you think.

[M99] “I also notice that you flip-flopped and argued a point of view as the truth that you previously argued was a lie. At times you argue that the government is nothing but puppets appointed by the US. Then you say that the US backed allawi but failed to get him into power.”

*Sigh* You OBVIOUSLY have a big problem with anything but cut and dried, black and white situations. The product of too many American cowboy movies, perhaps?

Yes, the US backed Allawi, and he lost big time. But it’s not to say that the current Iraqi ‘government’ and the US are without common interests.

On the contrary, it suits the SCIRI / Dawa types just fine to have the Americans and Sunni fighting and killing each other. Hey, two hated enemies wiping each other out – too bad they can’t both lose, right? Basically, they are buying time with American blood, strengthening their power base until they feel they can take over on their own. The US, meanwhile, is trying to corrupt and buy off the Shias faster than the Iranians can do it. Some like Al Mahdi, already seem to be firmly in the US pocket. All it takes is for a politician to put his interests above the interests of the people. Unthinkable, I know. But, it’s not as if the US trusts their ‘elected’ government much, which is why the control of the Secret Police has been retained by the CIA. Some democracy, huh?

Basically, Moron99, what I’m trying to tell you is, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Quite the funny man, aren’t you just?

The ‘National Iraqi Army’ as you call it, is a dumping ground for Iraqis impoverished by the US invasion and forced to accept any job for a wage. Full of Shia that hold dual loyalty to SCIRI and Dawa. Packed with Kurds that don’t actually hold an allegiance to a united Iraq, but to Kurdistan.

Although, I’m glad that somebody is finally admitting it about the US working with Ba’athists. I always said it, this war is less about getting rid of the Ba’ath than regaining control of an Iraq that was out of the control of the US. The truth is, the Ba’ath isn’t so bad to the US, as long as it is UNDER American control.

And yes, there must be some good, patriotic Ba’athist Iraqis within that structure. (together with the scum.) It’s obvious enough, when one considers just how frighteningly good the intelligence is that the Resistance gets. I mean, the ‘counterterrorism chiefs’ that the US appoints are barely in office long enough to warm the seat for their successor before they become human sieves.

Bruno said...: To me it’s quite obvious that the latest views trickling through the grapevine is yet more spin puked out by the White House word doctors. The aim of the spin is both to discredit the Resistance against Occupation, and to drive further wedges between Iraqis in a bid to facilitate control. The Americans are relying on Iraqis being stupid enough to believe their lies, and till now thnakfully they have been unsuccessful.

For example, take the idea that a nationalist Iraqi resistance would want to create a civil war in Iraq. That’s just a stupid, stupid notion. So, what the Americans would have us believe is that ‘Sunnis’ don’t only want to fight the US army (as if that wasn’t enough) but that they want the bulk of the Shia to take up arms against them as well. There is simply no motivation for them to do this. Clear propaganda.

The latest idea to be fed into the MSM is the one of the Shiite IRANIANS collaborating with either secular Ba’athists or Salafists. Now, to an ordinary Joe from the American street this might not seem weird, but that’s because they know nothing about Middle East politics. (And yes, they’re counting on your ignorance.) Let’s turn that on its head. Let’s imagine America supplying Cuba with weapons so they can invade Canada. That’s on a par with the BS they want us to believe.

REALITY check: The Resistance was employing ‘cone shaped bombs’ – ie shaped charges early last year, long before this Iranian fantasy crept in.

Do you, ertejaa, really want us to believe that: the imaginary Zarqawi who hates all Shia has an alliance with the Khomeneists, who are supplying bombs to kill their fellow Shia, which already control parliament. Wow, you must think we are REALLY STUPID.

In fact, I’ll go further: whoever thought up this fantasy must be from the same group that dreamt up the Hussein / Bin Laden story. THEY must be really stupid to think that we are going to buy it again.

And you, Ertejaa, are assiduously spreading the seed of this venomous lie.

Again: how much are they paying you?; 10/05/2005 04:17:00 PM

madtom said...: "balance of power
Iraq is like an isosceles triangle."

You love your metaphors, but I think we are going to have to agree to disagree. I understand what your saying, and agree that Iraq needs a balanced government where everyone is represented according to their proportion, or at least according to their ideologies, and a mix of loyalties to party, sect, religion, excreta. But where I disagree is that rigging the referendum is going to get us to that place, or that approving a faulty constitution is in the interest of a future Iraqi republic.

To tell you the truth I don't understand why we have allowed big shi'a to get their way in this first draft. They are going to be the benefactor of any future democratic government, and I would have put it to them to reject a liberal democracy first.; 10/05/2005 06:06:00 PM

"Truth Teller - you need not listen to Islamists who brought misery to Afghanistan and Iran, and now wish to impose Sharia on Iraq, and turn it into a Taliban state"

ertejaa, you are talking to an educated and religious man. Maybe I don't understand politics well, but I definitly understand the situation in Iraq better than you all.
I advise you not to mix the Sharia in your analysis of political event. What we meant by Sharia, is the orders of God which we have to obey, if we like it or not, and if you liked it or not will make no difference to us.

Just keep calm and cool, the auther of this blog (me) can't tolerate oral war any more, I really am thinking of closing the comments section, but I don't want to lose what I learnt from you all, or to listen to the American view point about what they did and still doing in Iraq.
Till now, I found most of the American commenters either ignorant of what is going here, or just propaganda agents.

What provoked a hot discussion here is the changes made by the Iraqi parliment. you here about it because the US and UN disagree to what happened, we every day face things like this in our daily life, but you don't hear about it, or just don't care. we used to the double standard of American behaviour, and we are not surprise by it.; 10/05/2005 10:44:00 PM
Ertejaa said...: Truth Teller - here is more on Iranian help to Zarqawists and criminals to destabilize Iraq and partition it.

US intelligence officers put the question (of who was mounting these attacks on US troops) when they interrogated captured Sunni guerilla fighters. The answer was surprising. Iraqi fighters admitted, according to our sources, that Iranian intelligence agents posted undercover in Iraq had paid them to attack American troops. The agents had approached them with sizeable sums of cash and a list of US targets. Some Iraqi Sunni groups were finding that it paid handsomely to act as contract killers for Iranian intelligence.

You need to ask the Zarqawi worshippers Bruno (Italian) and Hurria why they want a civil war in Iraq and why they want to partition Iraq delivering the southern oil fields to Iran.

The National Iraqi Army has stepped up its operations from 160 a month in May to 1300 a month in September. Tens of weapon caches have been found. Hundreds if not thousands of Islamists wishing to create civil war and install Taliban state have been arrested and sent to Abu Ghraib.

75% of Sunnis wish to participate in the Referendum and December elections. There is a good chance that Sunni patriots and Sunni seculars can form a coalition government with the Kurds and Shiite seculars and Allawi, in order to rule.

TT - it is very possible that Sunnis will be back in power again by December, and prevent the southern oil fields being annexed by the Islamists of Iran.

TT - it is time for Sunnis to enter into dialog with the Coalition and the United Nations.

What I meant by Sharia, Is the rules present in the Holly Quraan, not what Taliban or Khumainy regimen are imposing over their people.

As Iraq contain multi religions, the Sharia should be applied on the Muslim only, i.e. not the only law in Iraq.

I found thet most of the American will reject any thing against their "pre made opinion", They dont accept tha fact that they were doing abig mistake on invading a country for false and fabricated reasons. They even beleive a very clear lies regarding the population in Iraq and the sectarian distribution.
eg. In one of the American Encyclopedias (Wikipedia), on writing about the population in Mosul, it said that the majority are Kurds with minority of Ashorians, it didn't mention the Arabs. while the fact is the majority is Arabs with minority of other sects.
BTW most of the christian in mosul are Arab, even if they talk asyrian language.; 10/06/2005 08:59:00 AM

With no Americann no sect seek revenge from the other, it is all American motivated emotions, and will end with the end of the occupation.
The Sunni Arabs will not and never afraid from the Sheei Arabs an dso is true for the Kurds.

What happened at Saddam time was approved by the US, They give him the weapon to do that crimes, and instruct him when and how to use it.

Bruno said...: Ertejaa --

Oh, HO! I see that you are busy changing your story as we speak.

I suppose that you realised that the Zarqawi / Iranian alliance is a little too incredible for consumption, and so now you are blaming the Sadrists? That’s a possibility, I admit – Sadrists attacking the British etc makes sense. But to blame the car bombs killing Shia on Zarqawi (if he exists) aided by Iran is simply preposterous.

[e] Bruno (aka Italian) - your mea culpa is requested.

Take a hike, you lying loser. There’s a WORLD of difference between Zarqawi (if he exists) and Muqtada Al Sadr. Don’t try and confuse the two.

[e] “Hundreds if not thousands of Islamists wishing to create civil war and install Taliban state have been arrested and sent to Abu Ghraib.”

Hmm. So what you are saying is that the “Iraqi Army” is killing and arresting Salafists. But not Shiite radicals. Is that it? Or are they arresting anybody who wants an Islamic identity for Iraq? Are you even aware of the percentage of Iraqis who want and Islamic identity for Iraq? You are SADLY outnumbered.

Tell us, ertejaa, are you an ex Ba’athist, by any chance? I’m guessing that you are one of those Allawists that fled Iraq in fear of Saddam, leaving your families to fend for themselves. You know, one of the slime that sponsored car bombings, and who returned on the leash of the Americans, hoping that they would give you power in return for betraying your people. Is that who you are? Tell us, is the CIA still paying Allawi his stipend? Are they still paying YOU?

Truth Teller, you must realise that the old, old strategy of the Americans to control countries is not only to corrupt the democratic politicians through bribery, but also to control the army of a given country. In Chile for example, when the civilian democratic government took decisions that the Americans did not like, they used the CIA to sponsor a military coup against that government. A brutal dictator Pinochet was installed, and supported by them.

Why do you think that the US had such a problem with the Iraqi army being trained in Iran? Obviously the Americans realised that the Iranians would try to indoctrinate the troops … and that is what they wanted to do themselves. Do you know that the funding for the Mukhbarat is being paid for by the CIA? They want to retain control.; 10/06/2005 05:09:00 PM

Lynnette In Minnesota said...: Truth teller,

There is alot of garbage on the internet. We (Americans) don't believe everything we read on it (Wikipedia), and you shouldn't either. Which is why some of those articles you have posted in the past have struck us as fabrications or, because of the sources, as biased.

" With no Americann no sect seek revenge from the other, it is all American motivated emotions, and will end with the end of the occupation."

I'm sorry, TT, but this strikes me as a naive thought. You seem to be looking at Iraq through rose colored glasses and blaming all of it's problems on the U.S. People like Saddam and al-Sadr were not born and raised in the U.S., and people like them will not stop simply because we are gone.

"What I meant by Sharia, Is the rules present in the Holly Quraan, not what Taliban or Khumainy regimen are imposing over their people."

The same type of people who are trying to destabilize Iraq, are the same type of people as the Taliban and Khomenii followers. They are the type of people who crave power for themselves and to hell with everyone else(pardon my language). They are merely using a religion for their own ends.

madtom said...: "I know this runs counter to to pecular and twisted thinking that passes for logic in your world"

So I guess saddam had no hand in the sanction, UN sanction, not US sanction remember saddam did something too get the sanctions imposed, remember Hurria? Or was that my Imagination. The sanctions rest in the hands of saddam, and if he would have just stepped aside millions of Iraqi children could have lived and gotten a decent education.

"In fact, the sanctions had the effect of weakening the people while strengthening the regime."

On this we are agreed, they have had the same effect in Cuba. That's why today I support the war, it should get the trouble over with faster and it gives us a better chance to effect lasting change on the ground.; 10/07/2005 01:44:00 AM
Bruno said...: On the pesticides etc –

[m99] “for those of you who aren't handy with translation ... "I'll go into details later. No time left now." is Brutalian's way of saying that he has no proof or has already been disproven.”

Uh, Moronican, I *don’t* make statements unless I’m sure of what I’m talking about. Unlike you, Moron.

For example:

U.S. Had Key Role in Iraq Buildup
Trade in Chemical Arms Allowed Despite Their Use on Iranians, Kurds
By Michael Dobbs - Washington Post - Dec30, 2002

“The administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush authorized the sale to Iraq of numerous items that had both military and civilian applications, including poisonous chemicals and deadly biological viruses, such as anthrax and bubonic plague.
[ … ]
In principle, Washington was strongly opposed to chemical warfare, a practice outlawed by the 1925 Geneva Protocol. In practice, U.S. condemnation of Iraqi use of chemical weapons ranked relatively low on the scale of administration priorities, particularly compared with the all-important goal of preventing an Iranian victory.”
[…]
When United Nations weapons inspectors were allowed into Iraq after the 1991 Gulf War, they compiled long lists of chemicals, missile components, and computers from American suppliers, including such household names as Union Carbide and Honeywell, which were being used for military purposes.
[…]
In December 1988, Dow Chemical sold $1.5 million of pesticides to Iraq, despite U.S. government concerns that they could be used as chemical warfare agents. An Export-Import Bank official reported in a memorandum that he could find "no reason" to stop the sale, despite evidence that the pesticides were "highly toxic" to humans and would cause death "from asphyxiation."”

This CLEARLY proves that ertejaa is a LIAR and that Moron99 is WRONG.

You can point to the relative volumes of arms sales all you want, but the fact remains that the USA supplied Saddam with at least some of the goods used to produce CW agents, and what’s more the US helped ‘calibrate’ their use for greater efficiency.

HURRIA, of course, cuts straight through the BS and to the point. The point is the US’s hypocritical stance vis a vis the issue of arms control. When Saddam was on the American side, exporting pesticides was OK. When he wasn’t, why, even pencils were too dangerous for him to have. That’s the point.

Arms control is not an end in itself to the US, but a means to execute policy. That’s hypocrisy. And Hurria is, of course, correct that the sanctions had NOTHING to do with Saddam ‘stepping down’. Never had. They were supposed to be about arms control. And the US managed to screw that up too, turning them into a weapon of genocide. Oh, very well done.; 10/07/2005 12:34:00 PM
Bruno said...: Ertejaa --

[e] “Hurria - how come you never condemn Zarqawist and Islamist bombing of Iraqis, like the Mosque in Hilla yesterday and the bus in Sadr City today?”

Ertejaa, how come you NEVER condemn the killing of innocent Iraqis by trigger happy US troops? How come you say nothing about the hardships that the Occupation has brought to Iraq? How come you say nothing about the six Iraqis executed by Allawi without judicial process?

Come now.

Playing the ‘condemn’ game is illogical and a stupid waste of time. Must we all preface every statement with a condemnation of the latest massacre or atrocity? Gosh, what if we miss one? Does that mean we supported the action? Stop wasting our time.

And, going on about Zarqawi when he is probably a ‘false flag’ creation of US intelligence is completely a waste of time.

[e] “Good news folks. Of the 12 bridges west of Habbaniya, 8 of them have been destroyed in the past few days, and the other 4 are under the control of the National Iraqi army.”

I see that you are celebrating the destruction of yet more IRAQI infrastructure by the US Occupation and its stooges. Now, nevermind the inconvenience and disruption of life that this will cause ordinary Iraqi citizens. This is Infrastructure that will be repaired BY the Americans with Iraqi money, at wildly inflated prices. Those destroyed bridges ultimately means less money to support vital schemes, such as the Food Rationing. And you celebrate? How much are the CIA-run Allawists paying you again?

[e] “[…] how come they could not save the bridges?”

You have really no idea of what a guerrilla strategy is, do you?

People are more important than holding land. And given that the people of Iraq LIVE in Iraq, and that they are fighting the Occupation – it means that they have PLENTY of time. Plenty of time to slowly wear away the resolve of the occupier, who does NOT live there, and who therefore has less will to remain. The Vietnamese fought half a century against every major power in the region, including the French, Americans and Chinese, and they won. Don’t underestimate the power of an intelligent guerrilla struggle.

[e] “IMO, it is a matter of great pride for Arabs to have achieved democracy and freedoms in Iraq after so much sacrifice.”

Democracy and freedom? When the Iraqi parliament has repeatedly flouted its own laws? When Americans can sue Iraqis for wrongful death in Iraq, but Iraqis can’t sue Americans for the same thing in Iraq? Or in America, for that matter. When there is ‘press freedom’ except if you say something contrary to what the ‘government’ wants you to say – in which case they lock you up for life, as you were so kind to mention?

If freedom means being a slave in your own country, ertejaa, then Arabs have a funny idea of freedom. Or maybe it’s not Arabs. Maybe it’s just you.

Tell us, Ertejaa, is Allawi still paying you a stipend?; 10/07/2005 12:36:00 PM
