US Designs a Civil War for Iraq

''For example, during the assault on Fallujah, wary of the reliability of Iraqi forces, the Marines used 2,000 Kurdish Peshmerga militia troops against the Arab Sunnis. The two groups share a long history of mistrust and animosity, according to Marr.

Both ethnic groups are Sunni, but Kurds speak a different language, have distinct customs, and are not Arabs.''

The pentagon planners are designing a 'civil war' - divide and conquer. As in any fight, someone needs to play the role of the referee.

Thus, Iraqis will 'need' the US to 'save' Iraq from Iraqis and the 'international community' will applaude.

Question: what do people think the Kurds are getting out of this dirty deal? Its a serious question, i can't even speculate.

"With the war draining the military of the troops needed for commitments worldwide, the Pentagon is being forced to take extraordinary steps to maintain adequate troop strength. A temporary increase of 30,000 soldiers for the Army, already approved by Congress, will most likely be made permanent. The Pentagon is also considering plans to further change the rules about mobilizing members of the National Guard and Reserve. Right now they cannot be called up for more than 24 months of active service. That limit would be scrapped, which would permit the Army to call them up as frequently as required.

That's not a back-door draft. It's a brutal, in-your-face draft that's unfairly limited to a small segment of the population. It would make a mockery of the idea of an all-volunteer Army."

"Since the occupation began, some 200 leading Iraqi academics, most of them in the humanities and social sciences, have been killed. Is the CIA responsible?"

When, in the course of my Monday commentary, I mentioned Major General Muhammad Abdallah al-Shahwani, director of Iraq’s National Intelligence Service, I had a sneaking suspicion that I couldn't confirm at the time. Now, thanks to a reader in Britain, some confirmation.

According to Sami Ramadani, an antiwar Iraqi exile who writes regularly for the Guardian, "Shahwani was one of Saddam's intelligence chiefs in Baghdad with a reputation for brutality."

Unfortunately, this is not surprising. For some time now, the United States has been relying heavily on the remnants of Saddam's intelligence services, both to provide them with information and more recently (especially since April) in direct and open supporting roles.
