Death squad chieftains flee to beat Baghdad surge. I don’t believe this news at all. Why would the death squad leaders flee Baghdad? American troops are their friends in eliminating the Sunni population. Sadirists have the same aim as the Americans have. Besides, Isn’t Sadir City big enough to accommodate terrorist leaders who are sending peasant Shiite militias to terrorize the Sunnis? These leaders are cowardice who never faced their master rapists Americans anyways? Why fear their compatriots? The “government” of Iraq shields them, they control the security and the police forces, they have thousands of militias, they are supported by foreign sponsors like Iran and many hidden hands who like to see Iraq to cease altogether. There is no credibility to this news at all. None!
Broken Spring? : Information Clearing House This is a sequel to my June 2011 article, ‘After the spring’, on the upheavals in the Arab world. It is an article that has been painful to write, because it brings bad tidings and offers a pessimistic analysis of the upheavals, at least in the short term, in a number of Arab countries. The outcomes and potential outcomes of these uprisings have also acquired new, very significant dimensions. These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.
