Brig. Gen. Nassir al-Hiti and his brigade of Iraqi Army soldiers has to refute
Abu Azzam and has to do so in a way that doesn't ruffle feathers and he "denies that his men pursue sectarian goals. "This is a very silly question from Abu Azzam," Nassir al-Hiti says. The general also says he "hates militias" and that there is no way for Abu Azzam to know whether his men are part of them. He
suggests that the Volunteers' new loyalties are not genuine. "Every day they put on a new hat," he said.
This puts the US in a guessing game. They like one guy, but need another, who probably has US soldiers' blood on his hands as "Colonel Pinkerton has asked his bosses to find a way to replace the Muthanna Brigade with another Iraqi force, perhaps the Kurdish-commanded army unit that patrols west of Nasr Wa Salam and has good relations with Abu Azzam's men. Still, he acknowledges that General Nassir is "a lot more competent than most Iraqi officers."
"I really believe that under the right leadership he could be a great officer," Colonel Pinkerton said. "I think he's getting some bad guidance from above. Maybe he's not dirty. Maybe he's that loyal."
The entire arena of who gets amnesty even though they have killed US soldiers is part of this mess. Who was a freedom fighter and who was a terrorist, and is there such a thing as insurgent "good and honest Iraqis" who regrettably are forced into killing US soldiers. Ask the English what they thought about our Revolutionary War and our guerrilla warfare tactics. Whoever wins the war gets to pick the labels.
The 06/09/2005 article "'Good and honest' Iraqis fighting US forces" at
http://archive.gulfnews.com/articles/05/06/09/168406.html
states "A senior US military chief has admitted "good, honest" Iraqis are fighting American forces.Major General Joseph Taluto said he could understand why some ordinary people would take up arms against the US military because "they're offended by our presence".
In an interview with Gulf News, he said: "If a good, honest person feels having all these Humvees driving on the road, having us moving people out of the way, having us patrol the streets, having car bombs going off, you can understand how they could [want to fight us]."
This General Taluto said this over two years ago and the topic of amnesty for Iraqis who have killed innocent Iraqis and/or our soldiers is never discussed.
The stooges aren't playing their role well as the article "Maliki - US Not Needed Here" at
click here as "Iraqi newspapers on Sunday highlighted Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's statement about the readiness of Iraqi forces to take over their own security and Iraqi officials' reactions to a White House report on the situation in Iraq.
The government-funded al-Sabah newspaper published excepts from al-Maliki's statement on recent developments on the Iraqi political scene. "(Iraqi) armed forces are now able to assume full responsibility for the security of the country," said al-Maliki, adding that they need more training and better armament."
W did you ever hear the phrase, "Don't let the door hit you on the way out"! Go now!
Maliki is just as stupid as W. That's probably why W relates to him so well, but the article regarding arming the Sunnis, "Misunderstood" Maliki Supports US Plan" at
click here the stooge as being too stupid to keep up as " Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said in a statement Friday that his objections to the US plan to arm Sunni tribal factions had been misunderstood. Not only does he approve of the plan, but he claims it was his idea in the first place.
"The Prime Minister was the initiator of the policy of aiding the Iraqi tribes in all the cities and regions, especially those which have seen terrorist and outlaw activities," according to a statement.
In an interview in Newsweek last week, Maliki warned that the new US tactic was "dangerous because this will create new militias."
"I believe that the coalition forces do not know the backgrounds of the tribes. It is a job of the (Iraqi) government," he added.
In Friday's statement, Maliki's office claimed there was a "misunderstanding of the prime minister's prior statement".
"The government does not fear the arming of tribes but fears the chaos and disorder and the appearance of new militias." Though the statement attempts to backpedal Maliki's statements in Newsweek, it makes no mention of his aide reporting that Maliki had ordered Iraqi forces to treat US-armed groups as "outlaws."
Finally arriving at the essence of Maliki's objection to the US initiative, the statement adds: "It is essential that all of these activities are under Iraqi control and done with government supervision."
Impeachment proceedings bog down government. Maybe if the democrats do that to W they will prevent him from starting another atrocity such as Iraq.
In the family of Bush wars against Hussein Poppy 41 urged the Kurds and Shiites to rise up and attack Hussein. When Hussein butchered them--all broadcast on CNN, 41 did nothing. As a matter of fact when 43 talks about how Hussein used "WMDs" against his people the massacre which occurred during his poppy's term is what bubble-boy is referring to. Hussein was using "WMDs" that we supplied him with to fight our biggest fear in that region, then as today, Iran.
The article "If the U.S. is ultimately leaving Iraq, why is the military building 'permanent' bases?" at
http://www.fcnl.org/iraq/bases.htm
makes its headline's question as "The supplemental funding bill for the war in Iraq signed by President Bush in early May 2005 provides money for the construction of bases for U.S. forces that are described as "in some very limited cases, permanent facilities." Several recent press reports have suggested the U.S. is planning up to 14 permanent bases in Iraq- a country that is only twice the size of the state of Idaho. Why is the U.S. building permanent bases in Iraq?"
Could it be big bro 43's Orwellian hidden agenda of perpetual war is the desired state that Rove sees to provide the GOP with permanent political advantage.
The article "Iraqi: U.S. Pullout Will Fuel Civil War, Foreign Minister Warns Of Internal, Regional Disaster If U.S. Withdrawals" at
click here addition to its dire headline states "Attacks in Baghdad killed 13 people as prominent Shiite and Sunni politicians called on Iraqi civilians to take up arms
to defend themselves after a weekend of violence that claimed more than 220 lives, including one of the deadliest attacks of the four-year Iraqi conflict."
Let's see. Iraqis are being urged to arm themselves and the Iraqi Government suggests it will consider arming citizens to kill those "who are against them", which many Iraqis define as being our soldiers.
