Buh bye George. No you won't be needing a legacy. There's the door. Posted by: scott on December 28, 2005 03:13 AM
I've always considered the original 1991 "no-fly zones" to be the embryonic borders for a planned breakup of Iraq. There are reports of Israelis training the Kurds in various subjects. This post supports the theme of Professor Francisco Gil-White. Let's not forget about the "4th" area; the British Petroleum concession was renamed "Kuwait" and a flag was designed for the place.

BobW But as I understand it the position of first of all Jared Israel and also Francisco is that it is a conscous policy of the US elite to create Islamo-fascist regions in various nerve centres in the world, and also to stir up anti-semitism as part of this. The weakness of the Jewish case is that like all national liberation movements it tends to see only its narrow national interests and misses the whole picture. But Empires think in global terms. The Kurds have a full right to create a Homeland and must be fully encouraged by Jewish organisations. That outcome is not the same as in the rest of Iran where there are 2 ultra-reactionary and lethal components, islamofascism and antisemitism. So in my mind we now have 3 main areas. Firstly there was Yugoslavia which was a potential centre of resistance to US and EU Empires and a serious block to the East. From the EU and US direct support for Croatian fascism and direct support for Islamofascist Izetbegovic in Bosnia. Result mow it is fair to say client states created. All subservient to the Hague, the EU and US. Iraq...the end result becoming a situation of chaos and brutality, with Iran in a driving position. Islamofascist gain. Thirdly, the creation of an Islamofascist Palestine, again total chaos, and the free-thinking and cultured Jewish tradition placed on the back foot. In this I think that Joseph's recent survey over the Eisenhower Dulles years are very relevant. The small contribution I have made to all of this is that I have emphasised the need for the US and EU Empire to use Islamofascism to keep in subjection the billion or so Muslim poor, along with using fascist elements out of that mass to hammer the rest of us. As Sean O?Casey said in one of his plays "The world is in a state of chassis". We are beginning to think that it suits the interests of Empire for that to be so and all the talk about democracy etc is for the fairies. Posted by: felix quigley on December 28, 2005 07:45 AM
Felix, your a washed out, pedantic old windbag, do you think there are people as mentally disturbed as yourself who buy into this 'world conspiracy to get the jews' crap. Posted by: CopperFacedJackDublin on December 28, 2005 07:31 PM
Can't help but notice that this story has not been picked up by ANYBODY. Probably bogus as if it were true it would be very big news. The Left (the whole effing media whore world) would be all over it. Posted by: scott on December 28, 2005 07:55 PM
I have read about this before. Its logical. Its true. and like I said nobody is telling it like it is. Posted by: Ted Belman on December 28, 2005 10:15 PM Post a comment |
Kurds in Iraqi army proclaim loyalty to militia
Knight Ridder Newspapers - BY TOM LASSETER
KIRKUK, Iraq - Kurdish leaders have inserted more than 10,000 of their militia members into Iraqi army divisions in northern Iraq to lay the groundwork to swarm south, seize the oil-rich city of Kirkuk and possibly half of Mosul, Iraq's third-largest city, and secure the borders of an independent Kurdistan.
Five days of interviews with Kurdish leaders and troops in the region suggest that U.S. plans to bring unity to Iraq before withdrawing American troops by training and equipping a national army aren't gaining traction. Instead, some troops that are formally under U.S. and Iraqi national command are preparing to protect territory and ethnic and religious interests in the event of Iraq's fragmentation, which many of them think is inevitable.
[..]Their strategy mirrors that of Shiite Muslim parties in southern Iraq, which have stocked Iraqi army and police units with members of their own militias and have maintained a separate militia presence throughout Iraq's central and southern provinces. The militias now are illegal under Iraqi law but operate openly in many areas. Peshmerga leaders said in interviews that they expected the Shiites to create a semi-autonomous and then independent state in the south as they would do in the north.[..] MORE
