The U.N. also this week reported that 3,709
Iraqi civilians were killed in October, the highest
monthly toll of the war. More than 3,700 were killed, with hundreds
"bearing signs of torture and execution-style killing",
said the report.
If this isn't civil war then what is?
Meanwhile
yesterday in Parliament, the British Foreign Secretary,
Margaret Beckett, stated that “the process of transferring
security responsibilities to the Iraqi security forces is well
under way.” She said that she expected the coalition to
hand over in Najaf province next month and in Maysan in January.
Indeed, things were going so well in Basra that she had “confidence”
that we may “achieve transition” in the spring.
The machinations of the Machiavellian's are unfolding according
to plan. Let Iraq cascade into chaos and dilute the insurgency
by manipulating it to become fractious and watch in-fighting ensue.
Top analysts in the CIA and State Department, as well as large
numbers of Middle East experts, warned that a U.S. invasion of
Iraq could result in a violent ethnic and sectarian conflict.
Stephen Zunes, professor of Politics and chair of the Peace &
Justice Studies Program at the University of San Francisco, recently
wrote,
"One of the long-standing goals of neoconservative intellectuals
has been to see the Middle East broken up into smaller ethnic
or sectarian mini-states, which would include not only large stateless
nationalities like the Kurds, but Maronite Christians, Druze,
Arab Shi'ites, and others. Such a policy comes not out of respect
for the right of self-determination – indeed, the neocons
have been steadfast opponents of the Palestinians' desire for
statehood, even alongside a secure Israel – but out of an
imperial quest for divide-and-rule. The division of the Middle
East has long been seen as a means of countering the threat of
pan-Arab nationalism and, more recently, pan-Islamist movements."
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said yesterday that The Iraq
war is
good for Israel. He praised God for President Bush
and suggested that the current situation in Iraq is "so much
better for the security and safety of Israel".
Of course it is, because the Zionist agenda has always been to
divide and conquer the middle East. After many previous attempts,
it's mission accomplished in Iraq now thanks to the neocons, that
is why we have already seen a shift towards fomenting trouble
in Syria with the decimation of Lebanon.
Furthermore, the timely assassination of Pierre Gemayel in Lebanon,
which has been blamed on Syria, but some
have attributed to Israeli intelligence, has again
sullied Syria and stoked up ethnic and religious animosity in
Lebanon.
Israeli policy documents have always stated that it would be
beneficial to the overall strategy to engender strife in the middle
east.
In 1982, Oded Yinon, an official from the Israeli Foreign Affairs
office, wrote: "To dissolve Iraq is even more important for
us than dissolving Syria. In the short term, it's Iraqi power
that constitutes the greatest threat to Israel. The Iran-Iraq
war tore Iraq apart and provoked its downfall. All manner of inter-Arab
conflict help us and accelerate our goal of breaking up Iraq into
small, diverse pieces."
Ethnic cleansing, maimed children and thousands of dead American
soldiers are a small price to pay because for the Globalists the
end always justifies the means and untold misery and bloodshed
won't stand in their way.
The adoption of the 'Salvador
Option' by the US in Iraq, as reported and discussed
from the beginning of 2005 onwards, also indicates that a shift
in focus in the middle east is underway.
Newsweek reported that this Pentagon or CIA handled operation
"would even extend across the border into Syria, according
to military insiders familiar with the discussions... The current
thinking is that while U.S. Special Forces would lead operations
in, say, Syria, activities inside Iraq itself would be carried
out by Iraqi paramilitaries."
That agenda was again underscored recently when Daniel
Pipes, a highly influential Straussian Neo-Con media
darling, told the New York Sun that a civil war would aid the
US and Israel because it would entangle Iran and Syria and enable
those countries to be picked off by the new world empire without
the need to sell a direct invasion to the public.
A host of analysts
and political experts agree that 2007 will see the
bombing of nuclear facilities in Iran, with or without the approval
of the US Congress. This is not surprising given that we have
recently seen a spate of neoconservative and Israeli calls for
the bombing to begin.
In a Sunday op-ed piece in the Los Angeles Times, Joshua
Muarvchik, resident scholar at the neoconservative
American Enterprise Institute, wrote:
Israeli Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh also"did not
rule out' preventive military action to stop Iran from acquiring
nuclear weapons, in a recent interview with the English-language
Jerusalem Post.
There is some speculation that the paradigm shift in the US with
the "Baker
Boys" re-emerging as leading players, indicates
a power struggle between a Zionist/neoconservative faction and
a CFR controlled globalist faction. In any case, the overall agenda
of "divide and conquer" in the middle east remains the
same. The Arab population will suffer the same fate whatever the
outcome of this sideshow in-fighting.
The scale back in Iraq will not in any way shape or form involve
a "withdrawal" of troops from the region. Most probably
any troops leaving Iraq will simply be shifted
to Afghanistan, which also descends deeper
into chaos with every day.
The Marine Corps will need to
increase in size to sustain deployments to Iraq,
Afghanistan and beyond. The empire is very much on the march.
