1.300 Iraqis Killed in Past Week

I thought it was sactions against oil sales for human rights violations imposed by the UN that caused Saddam to use the Euro in an attempt to lure countries who supported the Euro and would not recognize the sanctions. This included Russia and China I believe. Didn't this lead to the oil-for-food scandal at the UN by countries not adhering to the sanctions even Saddam continued to rule his country with fear.

Well, it does not matter how many years back that was - I think Some People still remember that. Actually, the Iraq-Iran War (Suni Iraq vs Shia Iran) was one of the Reasons for even a bigger abyss between the two religious groups. Tell me, who benefited? Iran? Iraq? Or US and Isreal, which have killed two flies with one strike. Meanwhile the US sold weapons to the both (Iran-Contra, Saddam-Rumsfeld)! I mean, does it get any better then this?

that is an opinion with no factual basis. However, I know that my great grandfather did business overseas in that region during the 30's through the 70's. He had many pictures and some beautiful art and articfacts he bought back. Stories of the palaces and the people he met.

Sadly for you, that is not my Opinion Only - and is based on actual events in the World today and their Mirror events from the Past. History repeats itself in a most Ironic way possible.

First rule of an Empire:
DIVIDE AND RULE.

Second rule of an Empire:
Create PROBLEM-REACTION-SOLUTION kind of situation.

Remove Saddam, and attempting to allow the citizens of Iraq to form a government. Problem is, Al-qeada and other fighters from Syria, Palestine and even coutries such as Britan and even the US are now in Iraq using it as a platform to battle the US. This reminds me more of Afghanistan than Vietnam as far as the fighting. Add to this the century old Shia/Sunni Struggle, and you have a very volatile mixture. The US wanted Iraq as a staging area for Iran and Syria, and that is not happeneing. There is no reason or need for the US to destabilize Iraq. It makes no military sense at all.

Well,
Al-Qaeda is a Phantom Enemy Created by the Western Intelligence Agencies.

Fighters from Palestine? I think they have ALOT of problems back Home, so I do not think they are exactly running to Iraq. I have prooved numerous times, that the percentage of Foreign Fighters in Iraq is really REALLY small - much smaller, then the west-corporate media is trying to make people belive.

Let read the following article:

Is Iraq Civil War By Design?

The Associated Press is reporting that civil war looms in Iraq as bombings tear across the country. Is this disaster really a result of a failed foreign policy or is it a deliberate plan to initiate a policy of ethnic cleansing that will finally allow the Globalists to capture and dominate Iraq as they never could before?

The agenda to maintain division and ethnic tension in Iraq can be seen as long term plan and the only way to finally capture and enslave a country that has historically thrown out its occupiers on every occasion.

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 bloodshed and misery and bloodshed won't stand in their way.

Again WHO BENFEITS?

Well, this is also an interesting read:

Former CIA Analyst: Western Intelligence May Be Behind Mosque Bombing

Iran however benefits from this, as it draws attention away from their situation. It is a stalemate folks, as if Isreal moves, they are removed by the weapons that we know Iran has, as well as US bases in Iraq because Iran would not care. Then why wouldn't Iran then go into Iraq for it's oil? Backed by Russia and China...would would happen then....The US can't nuke anyone and the stalemate continues...

I think that the ones who Profit the most are the folling:

1. ISREAL
   
   
2. USA
   
   
3. EUROPE

"Let's Divide Iraq as We Did in Yugoslavia!"

Replace Iraq with three mini-states: "Kurds in the north, Sunnis in the center and Shiites in the south." The objective? "To put most of its money and troops where they would do the most good quickly -- with the Kurds and Shiites. The United States could extricate most of its forces from the so-called Sunni Triangle, north and west of Baghdad.... American officials could then wait for the troublesome and domineering Sunnis, without oil or oil revenues, to moderate their ambitions or suffer the consequences." In short, starve the central state around Baghdad because the Sunnis have always spearheaded the resistance to U.S. imperialism.

Here we go again Divide and conquer thing. Always knew Souljah would bring this back up similar to the other thread about the Shrine attack which could lead to sectarian war and that America had something to do with it, Im certain Souljah has forgotten how much hatred there is between the Shiites and Sunnis, should Souljah be surprise that we see Muslims killing other Muslims?

Grisly attacks and other sectarian violence unleashed by last week's bombing of a Shiite Muslim shrine have killed more than 1,300 Iraqis, making the past few days the deadliest of the war outside of major U.S. offensives, according to Baghdad's main morgue. The toll was more than three times higher than the figure previously reported by the U.S. military and the news media.
