Is Iraq Really Going Wrong?

One thing I see continually repated over and over by the left(and even some on the right) is that "Iraq is going horribly". No actually, the situation in Iraq is going quite well for the people who originally envisioned and wanted the 2003 invasion. I won't go into the plan to stage and make up false information about Iraq and "WMDs" and "ties to al Qaeda", I'm sure even a bulk of the war supporters know those were lies.

But as far as I can see, the architects of this war that's killed and maimed an unGodly amount of innocent Iraqis(not to mention quite a few American and coalition forces) wanted to incite and bring on insurgency, sectarian violence and all out chaos. Remember when Bush told the insurgency to "bring it on"? This chaos ensured three things: Prolonging the war to allow government tentacled corporations to make a killing, setting up permanent bases, and providing the pretext to "Balkanize" the region into three regions. Now if you're wondering why I didn't mention oil...the reason why the government hasn't gone hog wild in taking the oil just yet, is because that would not just validate the popular belief that it's "all about the oil", but also because the plans for Iraq are far from complete.
The permenant bases does two things: like a dog marks it's territory, furthering Western hegemony like a notch on a bedpost in the middle east. And two, turns Iraq into a launchpad for the next middle eastern country to take over. Is it merely a coincidence the two countires bordering on either side of Iran just happen to be Afghanistan and Iraq...the two countries the US government invaded?

In a new NY times article, they state that the US is arming and backing Sunni insurgency all the sudden. Say what? The same guys that focused all their effort to blow up Americans and innocents, is now being a tool of the US? Oh...it's all to "fight al Qaeda", the tentacle
reaching ultimate bad guy group ala GI Joe's C.O.B.R.A.(heck we were told al Qaeda even has COBRA like hi-tech bases in the side of mountains. SNAKE EYES!)
Now as Americans, we got used to hearing "al Qaeda" as the "Im rubber your glue" response to everything. "Mr. President, why are you making it difficult for seniors to have adequate drug coverage, and stripping away our civil liberties?"..."al Kwayduhs! al Kwayduhs gonna get you! They could be under your bed or making WMD's
at Michaels craft store and Joanne fabrics!" But I digress.

A lot of people might not know that Rumsfeld initiated a program called P2OG whose mission status was literally to incite insurgency, terrorism and sectarian violence in Iraq. According to a classified document prepared for Rumsfeld by his Defense Science Board, the new organization--the "Proactive, Preemptive Operations Group (P2OG)"--will carry out secret missions designed to "stimulate reactions" among terrorist groups, provoking them into committing violent acts which would then expose them to "counterattack" by U.S. forces.

This is chaos by design folks..."Order out of Chaos" as President Bush so eloquently put it. You then have the fact that the horrific Abu Gharib
sex torture was not only white washed(trust me, they didn't let loose with the real evil shit going on there), but it was part of Rumsfeld and company's "Copper Green" program and not some "foolhardy"
work of a few subbordanates. From the New Yorker "Copper Green, encouraged physical coercion and sexual humiliation of Iraqi prisoners in an effort to generate more intelligence about the growing insurgency in Iraq. A senior C.I.A. official, in confirming the details of this account last week, said that the operation stemmed from Rumsfeld’s long-standing desire to wrest control of America’s clandestine and paramilitary operations from the C.I.A.". Whereas Bush may not know the difference between Sunni and Shiites, Bushes puppetmasters sure do...and they are doing all they can to further divide that wedge...even if it means playing off and inciting both sides.

Even Colin Powel the other day asked for the closing of Guantánamo Bay, just one of many facilities like all the illegal secret CIA prisons where the government engages in horrific mind, body and sex torture against "suspected combatants". However, it's come to light that many of the so called enemy combatants picked up in Afghanistan were innocentand had been rounded up for $5000 a person by the narco trafficking Northern Alliance. The US government of course encouraging these guys to round up as many people as possible with the carrot stick of riches. It gets even sicker when you realize that according to Generals Rumsfeld actually engaged in some of the torture at Gitmo. So let's see...Rumsfeld lied to get us into war, then brought about plans to incite sectarian violence and insurgency...and took pride in orchestrating the widespread torture. Gee, I thought we went into Iraq to stop the torture?

But it get's even better. You see British SAS soldiers were sent into Basra in Iraq dressed as Iraqis(with fake beards and all) to blow up mosques, police stations, etc. Only problem is, they were caught, and the British army had to blow up the police station with tanks to free the men. This is not unlike news that the CIA was behind other bombings in Iraq, a technique MI5 used to provocatuer IRA bombers in years past.

The media is talking about Haditha and some of the even more widespread unspeakable horrors committed at the hands of marines and US soldiers that have only just began to be uncovered. This behavior is expected when the army is actively recruiting hardcore violent gang members and neo Nazis to go to Iraq.
But what we're ALSO beginning to learn about is private millitary contractors like Blackwater, TITAN, Caci, etc. CNN has been good at reporting at how many billions these guys make. where as private relief groups and citizens have to raise money to send adequate armor and post tour return relief to the soldiers, these PMC's are making so much more money than our brave men and women over there. If that isn't bad enough, not only is the torture outsourced to CACI and Titan employees, but private contractors are routinely caught doing joy killings and shootings in Iraq. And I don't mean the private millitary folks, but pencil pocket guys. Many private contractors have died in Iraq, but it's these private millitary groups that have really run amok while zapping taxpayer's money.
Should Dyncorp who was proven to have been behind massive child sex slavery in late 90's Bosnia be given no bid contracts? Halliburton's KBR and Dyncorp have been caught being behind human slavery and trafficking yet the government continues to rape America's finances to shell out to these guys. The private millitary contractors are just the tip of the iceberg. Isn't private corporate armies something that's been warned about out of cyberpunk and political sci fi novels for years? If only the people of ancient Sumer and Babylon knew how their land would be the focal pounts thousands of years later for this struggle. Almost...makes you wonder what artifacts were taken from that Baghdad museum within days of the fall of the city?

I HIGHLY reccomend the new documentary Iraq For Sale
by the people who brought you Walmart: High Cost of Low Cost, Outfoxed and Unconstitutional. It really exposes what's going on with the private millitary contracts, the lack of adequate care for the troops and the lies that got us into Iraq.

The Odd Couple: Just Whose Side Of Terror Is The CIA On?

After years of discussing all manner of geo-political goings on from a slightly different perspective than most may be used to, a friend of mine urged me to finally start up a blog. I've posted literally thousands of political article/threads in various forums, but never actually dedicated myself to a blog of any sort. To preface, I've always been deeply interested in politics and world intrigue.

I'm 29, and can clearly remember watching the Iran-Contra hearings in 1987, wondering why my Transformers was being preempted. But I was absolutely fascinated, 1987 being not just the exposure of the government's shadow side, little did I know Iran-Contra would dovetail with BCCI and CIA-crack cocainegate.
Ever since, right alongside my keen interest in giant robot anime, old school video games, webcomics..there's, well politics. "Deep politics" I should say, going *way* past the headline. I have long since become very disenfranchised from the mainstream "left", and find myself in a kind of nowhere land with my views and research.

I decided I'm going to talk about what I see the real state of "terrorism" and war that I feel both the left and right completely misses. In the post cold war era, we hear ad nasueum from both the left and the right all about "al Qaeda" and the threat of terrorism...using that pretext as the justification for all sorts of
apetizers on the revolving agenda. But I ask...is it possible, the American government may be a bit hypocritical on the whole issue?

We saw how the "Miami 7 al qaeda plot to blow up the Sears Tower", "Fort Dix" plot and now the JFK Airport plot all appear to have had US government informants leading the would be wannabe dupes all the way. Now the US appears to be using this same tactic, but for real...in Iran. According to the London Telegraph, Bush sanctioned "black ops" against Iran. The article begins:
"President George W Bush has given the CIA approval to launch covert "black" operations to achieve regime change in Iran, intelligence sources have revealed. Ok, that doesn't sound too bad right? A little Operation Ajax Redux, maybe stirring up some local anti Ahmad dissent groups. It's not like the US would be pulling a Brzezinski...right?

But what's this? The CIA is helping to fund and stimulate a Pakistani terrorist group called Jundullah to stage attacks in Iran? CIA is helping to fund and stimulate a Pakistani terrorist group called Jundullah to stage attacks in Iran? according to ABC News. Yipes. According to another report by the London Telegraph, the US using the CIA is directly funding these terror groups. The wording of things in the media is a tricky thing. In this recent Reuters article simply calls the terror attacks in Iran backed by the CIA as done by "Pakistani millitants".

So what's the problem you say? "Iran is our enemy, they are using proxy soldiers to attack the US in Afghanistan and Iraq and are building nukes" you might say, since that's what the neocon Fox news pundits keep parroting. "Isn't it better we attack Iran by proxy than with American millitary".

Well, what happens when this "Jundullah" group in reality is nothing more than a more vicious wing of al Qaeda? According to a top Pakistani newspaper, Jundullah is closely linked with al Qaeda.
Another top news sources from Pakistan Jundullah is a newer wing of al Qaeda. According to SourceWatch, Jundullah was originally headed by allefed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaek Mohammed.
Wow, that's funny. So if al Qaeda is attacking the Soveits, Serb positions in Kosovo and Albania...or blowing stuff up in Iran, then it's "ok".

What's even more disturbing is the that it's no secret Pakistani Intelligense(ISI) was involved in not just 9/11, but has long been reported to control and fund both al Qaeda and the Taliban.
It was the ISI who helped get an Indian airliner hijacked around Christmas of 1999, so it could be flown to Osama and company in Kandahar for Omar Saeed Sheikh to be released. Omar would go on to be the middle money man between the ISI and the 9/11 hijackers, as well as help kill Wallstreet Journalist Daniel Pearl(Evidence suggests Pearl was killed for finding out the fact ISI was involved in 9/11 and controls al Qaeda) It's now mainstream news Pakistani ISI used Islamic terrorists to kill hundreds in the 7/11/2006 attacks. It also appears as if the FBI is in Pakistan right now investigating top Pakistani government officials and the heads of Pakistani banks in massive insider trading and ties to al Qaeda funding.

The US government allowed Pakistani ISI
fly out some of the heads of al Qaeda and Taliban according to MSNBC and even a top CIA commander came out and said that the US had let Osama escape. No surprise, since according to ABC Pakistan is giving Osama safe harbor. According to the New Yorker's Seymour Hersh, Rumsfeld was the one that gave the orders to allow Pakistan to fly out top al Qaeda and Taliban and let Osama flee. In the Times of London, one of the top former CIA heads said Osama should be allowed to roam free. It should be of NO shock that even the NY Times Pakistani ISI is behind the Taliban resurgence attacking coalition troops in Afghanistan. And yet, YET according to this NBC news clip, the US government gives A BILLION to Pakistan a year to "find Osama".
What a joke. Osama is the modern day "Goldstein" trotted out to incite fear
and legitimize the nearly one TRILLION dollar "war on terror"...now that my friends, is one hell of an expensive boxcutter.


I could go on how it came out that
Sudan was behind the USS Cole attack and controls al Qaeda. And even tho Sudan ALSO is behind the genocide in Darfur, for some reason the CIA is in bed with the Sudanese government in Khartoum. We know it wasn't just Pakistan involved in 9/11, but according to top ranking US officials Saudi Arabian intelligence was involved...tho Bush seems to be covering that up. A lot of people don't know this, but the United Arab Emirates is also deeply embedded with not just al Qaeda and a Falcon hunting buddy of Osama, but is one of the main hubs where Afghani opium meets arms sales and terror funding.
Aw, sounds like the good ol BCCI
days...where the CIA, Mossad, ISI and Saudi Intelligence had an orgyastic money laundering feast with Mujahadeen terror funding, and narco trafficking and black arms finances. According to the Washington Post, all roads lead to UAE and Dubai when it comes to terrorist funding. Most of the Pakistani ISI, Saudi intelligence and other funding for 9/11 to Mohammed Atta was conduited through the UAE, most notably Standard Charter Bank(which had a headquarters in World Trade Center 7) With UAE's elites hobnobbing with Osama at Falcon Hunting trips(apparently the Arab world's version of Bohemian Grove or Bilderberg) and UAE's clear ties to al Qaeda overall...President Bush wanted to sell out our ports to these guys?

Finally, after Khalid Mohammed "confessed" at Gitmo to being behind everything from 9/11 to World Trade Center 1993(even tho that had clear FBI involvement) to practically every terror plot in existance(I'm surprised he didn't "confess" to Katrina, Anna Nicole Smith and rigging American Idol)
Time Magazine strongly linked KSM as being funded and sheparded by members of the Qatari royal elites and Pakistani Intelligence. It should REALLY disturb people that the mastermind of the 1998 African Embassy bombings and the main architect of Osama's nuttyness and al Qaeda overall is a free man under witness protection, and was once an FBI and CIA operative. Just like how 7/7 London mastermind Harsoon Awat is a protected MI6 operative who was flown out of the UK right after the July 7th attacks.

Is THIS how the western world is going to conduct business? Invoking the fear of "Islamic terror" to justify everthing from private millitary contractors out of control and torture, to everything in between...YET at the same time be knowingly in bed with the very countries that control and shepard al Qaeda? It was only a few decades ago that the CIA, NATO and Italian security forces were staging false flag deadly attacks on hundreds of innocents to blame on other forces. A few years ago according to the BBC, Italian forces planted explosives to blame on peaceful G8 protestors. I won't even get into how many of the IRA bombings appear to have been MI5 provocateured, but you get the picture.

Where does "terrorism" end, and state sponsored provocateuring begin?

As a side note, there is an *excellent* and powerful documentary about the 9/11 families struggle for justice, that goes a bit into Pakistan's role in 9/11 and al Qaeda. Here's the full documentary 9/11 Press For Truth(full documentary)

And a clip from the film that goes into the ISI involved in 9/11 from as far back as 1999.
