'We have made a deal with the devil'
U.S. unit enters an alliance with former insurgents
Soldiers in Baghdad give police powers, arms to Sunni [anti-Iraq
gov't] insurgents
10 Jun 2007
The American soldiers in Amiriyah have allied themselves with
dozens of Sunni militiamen who call themselves the "Baghdad
Patriots" -- a group that American soldiers believe includes
'insurgents' who have tried to kill them in the past -- in an
attempt to drive 'al-Qaeda' out of Iraq. The Americans have granted
these bloodthirsty radicals police powers including the right to
make arrests, have pressured the Iraqi army to supply them with
weaponry, and are fighting alongside them in chaotic gang-type
street battles.
Gangs of Iraq: military quietly enlisting thousands of active gang
members
09 Jun 2007
By Seamus McGraw
Lax enlistment standards have "inadvertently" allowed thousands of
gang members to join the military, including young men who belong
to the Crips, Bloods, Latin Kings, and various white supremacist
groups. But no gang has infiltrated the armed forces as deeply as
the Gangster Disciples, a 100,000-member Chicago-based syndicate
that has been linked to an assortment of crimes ranging from murder
to mortgage fraud.
"There’s no doubt about it — the Gangster Disciples are the biggest
[gang] in the Army," says Chicago Police Lieutenant Robert Stasch,
who has spent 30 years tracking the group’s rise from a handful of
street-corner hoodlums to what he calls "the most sophisticated
criminal enterprise in the United States."
Military Envisions Longer Stay in Iraq
U.S. Military Envisions 'Post-Occupation' Force of 40,000 Troops
Plus Mercenaries
10 Jun 2007
U.S. military officials here are increasingly envisioning a "post-
occupation" troop presence in Iraq that aims for a smaller [40,000+
troops], longer-term force that would remain in the country for
years. The centerpiece would be a reinforced mechanized infantry
division of around 20,000 soldiers... a training and advisory force
of close to 10,000 troops... a small but significant Special
Operations unit... headquarters and logistical elements to command
and supply such a force would total more than 10,000 troops, plus
some [100,000?] civilian contractors [mercenaries].
In Iraq's four-year looting frenzy, the allies have become the vandals
British and American collusion in the pillaging of Iraq's heritage
is a scandal that will outlive any passing conflict
By Simon Jenkins
08 Jun 2007
Under Saddam you were likely to be tortured and shot if you let
someone steal an antiquity; in today's Iraq you are likely to be
tortured and shot if you don't.
The tragic fate of the national museum in Baghdad in April 2003 was
as if federal troops had invaded New York city, sacked the police
and told the criminal community that the Metropolitan was at their
disposal.
The local tank commander was told specifically not to protect the
museum for a full two weeks after the invasion.
Even the Nazis protected the Louvre.
Tories press for Iraq inquiry as deaths rise
Prime Minister to avoid crucial debate in the Commons
10 Jun 2007
Tony Blair is to come under renewed pressure over Iraq during his
final days in office, with the Tories planning to force a vote in
the House of Commons tomorrow on a full inquiry into the invasion
and occupation.
The Prime Minister will shun the debate, according to Downing
Street sources -- sparking accusations that he disdains any
"outside" criticism and treats MPs [members of Parliament] with
contempt. <The last time Britons felt that way, they beheaded
their king.>
