Divide and Rule: Bush's Doomed Plan for Baghdad
By Robert Fisk, The Independent. Posted April 12, 2007.

Revealed: a new counter-insurgency strategy to carve up the city into sealed areas. The tactic failed in Vietnam. So what chance does it have in Iraq?
Faced with an ever-more ruthless insurgency in Baghdad -- despite President George Bush's "surge" in troops -- US forces in the city are now planning a massive and highly controversial counter-insurgency operation that will seal off vast areas of the city, enclosing whole neighbourhoods with barricades and allowing only Iraqis with newly issued ID cards to enter. The campaign of "gated communities" -- whose genesis was in the Vietnam War -- will involve up to 30 of the city's 89 official districts and will be the most ambitious counter-insurgency programme yet mounted by the US in Iraq.

The system has been used -- and has spectacularly failed -- in the past, and its inauguration in Iraq is as much a sign of American desperation at the country's continued descent into civil conflict as it is of US determination to "win" the war against an Iraqi insurgency that has cost the lives of more than 3,200 American troops. The system of "gating" areas under foreign occupation failed during the French war against FLN insurgents in Algeria and again during the American war in Vietnam. Israel has employed similar practices during its occupation of Palestinian territory -- again, with little success.

But the campaign has far wider military ambitions than the pacification of Baghdad. It now appears that the US military intends to place as many as five mechanised brigades -- comprising about 40,000 men -- south and east of Baghdad, at least three of them positioned between the capital and the Iranian border. This would present Iran with a powerful -- and potentially aggressive -- American military force close to its border in the event of a US or Israeli military strike against its nuclear facilities later this year.

When American troops leave at least they will be killing each other not American troops.If oil goes through the roof so be it ill drive less who cares, at least no more American kids will be dying.But of course the violence wont stop until you guys are gone.You just need to look at Vietnam to see that.

Remember, Viet Nam, the 10,000 day war. There was even a PBS program titled that. That translates into approx. 27 years, God help us if that happens, the draft is a definent possibility. Can you imagine the American public letting that happen. And just think, Viet Nam didn't even have oil. I believe, come to think of it, that Shell Oil had discovered an oil deposit in the Mekong delta, but It turned out to be not that large, although there was talk at the time that the reason we were in Nam was the oil.

So, who's garbage are we dealing with in Iraq, could it be the Brits that drew the boundaries of modern Iraq and put three Nations in the pot to boil. Before that, it was generally divided into three areas, Kurdistan to the north, The Sunnis in the middle and the Shiites in the south, pretty much the only way there will ever be a solution to the problem as it exists. No wonder the Brits decided to go with us, they are the main reason that Iraq is such a mess in the first place. You wingers know who you are, just admit that you're wrong and I will accept your apologies,~LOL~.

2) Inform each country in the middle east to clean up it's backyard of these assclowns or here comes the stone age. NO exceptions! No need for troops on the ground.......just take out the entire infrastructure.(My own personal choice.......I knew you'd be confused as to which I'd pick): :D

I've got to disagree with that one :p Very few instances I can see where "nuking them" is the answer.

I just don't see how the occupation of Iraq ends terrorism? And just because there hasn't been a terrorist attack since 9/11 doesn't mean that Bush is to thank :wtf: Since he was President during 9/11 wouldn't that send some of the blame his way if that were the case?

Iv'e got to agree.We are going to get to a point where our military resources in Iraq,Afganastan,maybe Iran soon, will almost certainly leave our home shores less secure and protected,simply because manpower and resources will be depleted here at home. North Korea, Iran, hell even Cuba , can just sit back and wait until we are less able to properly defend the U.S.A.
I don't think we should spend one more minute in Iraq. We should bring our troops home NOW. As long as you are at war with an enemy who is willing to sacrifice they"re own lives on the premis of a "Holy"war,or a civil war,wich is now Iraq,you can not win.We need to concentrate on fully and agressively securing and defending our borders.All it takes is one rogue nation to push the button.And then what? Nuclear winter.Mass casualty"s,immediatly and for generations to come.We need to be able to defend from,and respond to ANY agression,ANY time.We cant do that with our resources stretched to thin.We need to remember the Viet Nam war.The time for change is now.Before it"s too late.:s4: :apachecopter:

So.... It's isolationism or the bomb. I guess if I had to make a choice, I'd go with isolationism, but I'd rather see an intelligent debate between the opposing parties, sans radicals on both sides. If you see the muslim extremests as radicals, you must by virtue of the confrontational nature of Bushco, see them as radicals also. If the radicals were taken out of the picture, I'm pretty sure you could get some peace deals worked out, IE Nancy Pelosis' intent on her trip. Intelligent men most always view peace as the best solution and only use violence as a last resort. I'm pretty sure that not many will argue that we have both the baddest weapons and the best means of delivery, the key is how to avoid using them.

Remember, Viet Nam, the 10,000 day war. .

There are many parallels to the way we fucked up in Vietnam to the way we are fucking up in Iraq. It's sad to see that our politicians can't learn from the past.

- We are in a war because of unrealistic fears: Vietnam-the spread of communisn, Iraq-terrorism (wmd's ;) ) .

- Like Vietnam, we are making the mistake that this is a war of attrition. If we kill enough of them we'll win.

- In our efforst to save the people we are suposedly helping, we've made their lives even more fucked up.

-People who should be on our side now see us as "occupiers" not saviors.

-We continue to think we have all the answers and know better than the locals.

-Due to the fact that we've done such a shitty job,and the war has become so unpopular back home, we'll leave before it's finished. "Sorry we fucked up your country. Bummer. Now we're going home. Have fun fixing it"

As has been said a few times: Iraq was not a terrorist state untill we upset the apple cart. Our being there has created an opportunity for all muslims that hate America to come join the killing fields. There were no real terrorists there before we went there. I'm sure the Iraqis didn't really care for us much with our no fly zones, sanctions, and increased rate of cancer and child deformity from "depleted Uranium" shells used in Gulf 1, but they were not plotting to terrorize us. We've opened Pandoras Box and don't know how to close it. It's time to leave and let them kill each other. The right says caos will reign, what the hell do you have now. I say let the caos begin, Oh, I mean continue without us.

This is comical..........first off you'd better check out your nuke theory and get back to us. Seems to me that the French were behind that one. Do a google search once just for fun.

Next, if Canada or Mexico were launching rockets into the U.S. I suppose it would be considered a genocide when we kicked their asses.

I don't recall anything on the Brits helping but who knows.....I'll do a bit of research on that one. As for the Harpoon missiles.......they are NOT a nuclear device.
AGM-84 Harpoon/SLAM - Smart Weapons (http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/smart/agm-84.htm)

We don't supply Israel with nukes, they got their own. In all actuallity the middle east is fortunate that we supply arms to Israel. Look up the Sampson option. If what it says is true........in case of imminent destruction they launch ALL their nukes into the middle east which would be about 200 missiles by estimation. IF Israel became weak enough they'd have Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria just to name a few storming across her borders.

These are acts of war, not terrorism. Something we are equally guilty of. Not to mention that the invasion of Kuwait, and using chemical weapons on the kurds, happened 16+ years ago. And just because some Iraqi taxi diver named Mohamed, who lives in New York, and who has a neighbor who works with a Saudi guy who's 2nd cousin, twice removed, once brushed up againt Osmai Bin Laden, when both were 2 years old, doesn't mean Iraq has tied to Al Queada.

LMAO! Al-Sadr throws a protest and you relate that to the feelings of the country. Did ya see that a few days before we bombed ol' boys militia? How about the fact that the Iraqi Government let him know that the games are done? MAYBE that had something to do with it.

Now don't give me that bull about that under Sadam they would never have been allowed to do that, and you are so right. Sadam had the crazies under control.

So when the crazies here in the U.S. start a protest we should just swoop down with some Apache helicopters and take them out? It was a peaceful demonstration.....sign of a democracy like it or not.

CAIRO - The regime of Saddam Hussain rejected repeated requests from Jordan to hand over Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who now heads Al Qaeda in Iraq, the Jordanian king said in an interview published on Thursday.


King Abdullah II told the pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat that Jordan exerted ??big efforts? with Saddam??s government to extradite al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian sentenced to death at home for terrorist activities.

??But our demands that the former regime hand him over were in vain,? Abdullah said.

??We had information that he entered Iraq from a neighboring country, where he lived and what he was doing. We informed the Iraqi authorities about all this detailed information we had, but they didn??t respond,? the king said.

??But our demands that the former regime hand him over were in vain,? Abdullah said.

??We had information that he entered Iraq from a neighboring country, where he lived and what he was doing. We informed the Iraqi authorities about all this detailed information we had, but they didn??t respond,? the king said.
Khaleej Times Online - Saddam refused to hand Zarqawi to Jordan: King Abdullah (http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticle.asp?xfile=data/middleeast/2005/May/middleeast_May570.xml&section=middleeast&col)

But there was NO relationship there..........RIGHT!

And hell, paying the families of martyrs means nothing either.......

(CNSNews.com) - Iraqi intelligence documents, confiscated by U.S. forces and obtained by CNSNews.com, show numerous efforts by Saddam Hussein's regime to work with some of the world's most notorious terror organizations, including al Qaeda, to target Americans. They demonstrate that Saddam's government possessed mustard gas and anthrax, both considered weapons of mass destruction, in the summer of 2000, during the period in which United Nations weapons inspectors were not present in Iraq. And the papers show that Iraq trained dozens of terrorists inside its borders.

One of the Iraqi memos contains an order from Saddam for his intelligence service to support terrorist attacks against Americans in Somalia. The memo was written nine months before U.S. Army Rangers were ambushed in Mogadishu by forces loyal to a warlord with alleged ties to al Qaeda.

Other memos provide a list of terrorist groups with whom Iraq had relationships and considered available for terror operations against the United States.

Among the organizations mentioned are those affiliated with Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and Ayman al-Zawahiri, two of the world's most wanted terrorists. Zarqawi is believed responsible for the kidnapping and beheading of several American civilians in Iraq and claimed responsibility for a series of deadly bombings in Iraq Sept. 30. Al-Zawahiri is the top lieutenant of al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, allegedly helped plan the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist strikes on the U.S., and is believed to be the voice on an audio tape broadcast by Al-Jazeera television Oct. 1, calling for attacks on U.S. and British interests everywhere.

THE FORMER IRAQI REGIME OF Saddam Hussein trained thousands of radical Islamic terrorists from the region at camps in Iraq over the four years immediately preceding the U.S. invasion, according to documents and photographs recovered by the U.S. military in postwar Iraq. The existence and character of these documents has been confirmed to THE WEEKLY STANDARD by eleven U.S. government officials.

2. do you think that god would not punish them for following the zionists?

3. if god is all knowing, why was hitler allowed to kill all those jewish people?

4. is there a god? if so, and the zionists are right, and israel should be a country(again forgeting the passages that state that god himself would bring them back to the holyland), dont you think god should be smitting there enemy's as stated in the torah?

there is no such thing as a torah jew

why does this website have a listing for it then?

Question 2.18: What is a "Torah Jew?" (http://www.faqs.org/faqs/judaism/FAQ/02-Who-We-Are/section-19.html)


Answer:

The expression "the Torah world" and "Torah Jew" tends to be used
primarily by the "yeshivish" world, as other groups prefer other
buzzwords. But many other Jews object to the term, as they also claim
to be true to Torah principles in their practice.

In general, if someone dislikes a particular term, switch to another
term which conveys the same information



your information is flawed, to say the least...propoganda at its best......



of course, i remember hearing about the little jewish girl who knew it all

that must be you.


zionists are people who have a love for israel, and nothing more

your right about that

they love the homeland, and will and did sacrifice millions of jews to get it, now thats love, lets quote some of the love shall we?


It is essential that the sufferings of Jews. . . become worse. . . this will assist in realization of our plans. . .I have an excellent idea. . . I shall induce anti-semites to liquidate Jewish wealth. . . The anti-semites will assist us thereby in that they will strengthen the persecution and oppression of Jews. The anti-semites shall be our best friends?. (From his Diary, Part I, pp. 16)


now thats love



you are too close minded to get that all religions have extremist cults, not just jews..


so are you saying zionism is an extreme cult?


i think before the day is done i am going to have to school you...


please do



ps...you should maybe research before YOU speak....p4b is incredibly knowledgable

sure, he is, i dont know any body else, that can insert a eagle flag into each post, another genuis right here under our noses all along.

P4B did you know that article in the Weekl Standard about terrorist training camps written bye Hayes well he actually didnt see any of the documents and photographs in question.Fact Salmen Pak was a training camp for counterterrorism operations for Iraqi Intelligence Service.Fact the SIC Senate Intelligence Committee staff asked both CIA and DIA analysts whether any AL-Qaida operatives or other sources have confirmed Salmen Pak training allegations,and the unanimous response was that none have reported knowledge of any training.Hayes the writer of this story in the weekly telagraph insisted that if only the U.S government would release these documents they would support his point.So why dont the U.S release them good question wouldnt that be the smoking gun?Or just a pack of lies?Like everything else the neo-cons spew out of their mouths.Also it was Ahmed Chalabi of the INC Iraqi National Congress who first told of these stories of large Iraqi training camps.The INC even supplied Iraqi defectors that claimed to have worked at Salmen Pak.Their duties they said included training Islamic militants in terrorist techniques.Sabah Khodada one of the defectors went so far as to claim that the 9/11 operation was conducted by people who were trained by Saddam.But as we all know now Chalabi turned out to be a liar and a crook intent on making as much money as he can.These so called training camps turned out to be a hoax.

Did Sadam gas the Kurds? Yeah, with good old American technical support. According Iraq's report to the UN, the know-how and material for developing chemical weapons were obtained from firms in such countries as: the United States, West Germany, the United Kingdom, France and China.[1] By far, the largest suppliers of precursors for chemical weapons production were in Singapore (4,515 tons), the Netherlands (4,261 tons), Egypt (2,400 tons), India (2,343 tons), and West Germany (1,027 tons). One Indian company, Exomet Plastics (now part of EPC Industrie) sent 2,292 tons of precursor chemicals to Iraq. The Kim Al-Khaleej firm, located in Singapore and affiliated to United Arab Emirates, supplied more than 4,500 tons of VX, sarin, and mustard gas precursors and production equipment to Iraq.[2]

Show me where the U.S. gave the blessing. I tried to open your site from, LOL, greenleft.org and it won't open. The other site "History News Network" explains on how Stephen Pelletiere implied that the Kurds may have been attacked by Iran but in all actuallity it was genocide created by Saddam:

The Kurdish minority of northern Iraq speaks an Indo-European language very different from the Semitic language of Arabic, and has long sought greater autonomy from Baghdad. Largely farmers and pastoralists, they practice a mystical, Sufi form of Islam that is distinctive in modern Iraq. During the Iran-Iraq war of 1980-1988, which Saddam Hussein launched against his neighbor, the Kurds sought Iranian support for their insurgency. The Baath regime, threatened, responded by destroying Kurdish villages in strategic zones, resorting to ethnic cleansing.

NOWHERE in that link does it suggest in any way that the U.S. gave its blessings as you implied.

No that would never work, some radical John Bircher would just start a worse one. I guess it'll always be the them and us scenario.

How he US armed Saddam Hussein with chemical weapons
On August 18, the New York Times carried a front-page story headlined, ??Officers say U.S. aided Iraq despite the use of gas?. Quoting anonymous US ??senior military officers?, the NYT ??revealed? that in the 1980s, the administration of US President Ronald Reagan covertly provided ??critical battle planning assistance at a time when American intelligence knew that Iraqi commanders would employ chemical weapons in waging the decisive battles of the Iran-Iraq war?. The story made a brief splash in the international media, then died.

So the tired bushie excuse for illegally invading a sovereign nation because he gassed the Kurds is part of the power of nightmares that psycho as obviously fallen for.

Follow the money folks and you will find the truth. :rastasmoke: :hippy: :thumbsup:

I don't even like Trump, but by bashing Bush and being a billionaire that easily benefited heavily from the Bush tax cuts, speaks volumes about Bushs' agenda being fucked up. If the rich want respect from the proletariate, they need to get their priorities straight. We have nothing against rich people per-se, just the way they rule over us in that "we're so much better than you" way. A responsible rich person would know that sharing the wealth is a much more positive approach to life, not being a scrooge.

YOUR RESPONSE:

Done with the blessings of the US government. So if they weren't outraged then .... why are you now?

ACTUAL STORY FROM ARTICLE:

The day before, Iran had accused Iraq of poisoning 600 of its soldiers with mustard gas and Tabun nerve gas.

There is no doubt that the US government knew Iraq was using chemical weapons. On March 5, 1984, the State Department had stated that ??available evidence indicates that Iraq has used lethal chemical weapons?. The March 30, 1984, NYT reported that US intelligence officials has ??what they believe to be incontrovertible evidence that Iraq has used nerve gas in its war with Iran and has almost finished extensive sites for mass producing the lethal chemical warfare agent?.

However, consistent with the pattern throughout the Iran-Iraq war and after, the use of these internationally outlawed weapons was not considered important enough by Rumsfeld and his political superiors to halt Washington's blossoming love affair with Hussein.

So where does that state that the U.S. gave their blessings for Saddam to gas the Kurds? NOWHERE in that article! I've NEVER disputed that we supplied chem weapons to Iraq for the Iran/Iraq war. It was a way to deal with the Basij at the time.

So after invading their nation, slaughtering hundreds of thousands of their people, and destabalizating their country, it's now fair to just pull out and "let the Iraqis fight their own battles"? Sorry, but under Saddam there was order and law and none of this insurgent crap would have been tolerated. America went in and gave criminals and murderer's the run of the place, now you want to give them full run of the place? It's easy to say "let them fight among themselves", but it's America's intervention that caused the fighting in the first place, and now it's America's responsibility to fulfill their promise to the Iraqi people. They already did a great job pissing off the middle east the first time they told the Iraqi's to rise up against Saddam with impending liberation, then left them high and dry to be killed/tortured/imprisoned when it didn't happen.

I agree with mrdevious, going in was absolutely wrong but leaving now would be worse. "Sorry we fucked up your country, now you deal with it" . This war has seriously fucked up our image abroad and if we were to bail out now, and everything go to shit, it would be disastrous. That being said, I do feel that Georgie's current plan is getting us nowhere fast. This isn't a war of attrition, we are never going to kill enough insurgents to make them stop. They're never going to wave the white flag then sit down at a table, along with a gloating George Bush, and sign surrender papers. We need to redefine what "win" means at this point. Winning should mean the Iraqi's are better off when we leave than when we got there, period. Whether or not that ends up being a high point on Dubya's resume really shouldn't matter.

Speaking on a visit to Kazakhstan, Mr Putin said Russia had warned the US on several occasions that Iraq was planning "terrorist attacks" on its soil.

"After the events of 11 September 2001, and before the start of the military operation in Iraq, Russian special services several times received such information and passed it on to their American colleagues," he told reporters.

He said the information received by Russian intelligence suggested Iraq was planning attacks in the United States, "and beyond its borders on American military and civilian targets".

AGM-84 Harpoon/SLAM - Smart Weapons (http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/smart/agm-84.htm)



The missle itself is not a nuclear device but they can be equiped with small nuclear warheads. Which are commonly called tactical nukes....


The warhead section can be replaced by an exercise section which transmits missile performance data for collection and analysis.

Which also means it can be replaced with a nuke.

He wasn't involved with any previous attacks BUT was planning on future ones according to the article. Should have we waited for the episode first? Either way it would have been ass whoopin' time......the difference would have been dead civilians on our shores.

Have a good one!:s4:

Well shit Psycho, ya got me sold. Let's just wipe 'em all out. Every last Muslim there is. While we're at it, let's take out the Hindu's and those fucking Buddhists too.

Fear leads to anger.
Anger leads to hate.
Hatred leads to power.
Power leads to victory.
Let your anger flow through you.
Your hate will make you strong.
True power is only achieved through
testing the limits of one's anger,
passing through unscathed.
Rage channeled through anger is unstoppable.
The dark side of the Force
offers unimaginable power.
The dark side is stronger than the light.
The weak deserve their fate.
