Assalamu aleikum. This must be the week for loose lips sinking ships. First Pat Robertson with his open public demand for assassination of Venezuala's president Hugo Chavez; now the US Central Command Director of Operations is openly plotting "machinations" to bring the Muslims into the illegitimate kaffir puppet pseudoregime.
Check this out: - While [Maj Gen Douglas Lute, director of operations at US Central Command] cautioned that any troop reduction would be conditional on continued political progress and ongoing improvement in Iraqi force training, he said Centcom planners believed "the political process will play out, that we will see a constitution, that we will see, by some political machinations, the Sunnis brought into the process and we will proceed to national elections in December". - "By political machinations the Sunnis brought into the process". Machinations - ah, yes, the very symbol and essence of dajjal "freedom" and "democracy". Such "machinations" have among other things recently included assassination of uncooperative leaders a la Pat Robertson. They also include bribery, threats and extortion. The notion that after Fallujah any decent person would ever cooperate with the torturers of Abu Ghraib is as politically bankrupt as it is spiritually criminal. All Muslims reading this should spread the word about what Maj Gen Lute has openly threatened and beware of these coming machinations and avoid becoming an antichrist tool. - "You have to undercut the perception of occupation in Iraq. It's very difficult to do that when you have 150,000-plus, largely western, foreign troops occupying the country." - Duuuhhhh ... you think? --- US general sees significant withdrawal in Iraq By Peter Spiegel in London Financial Times August 24 2005 http://news.ft.com/cms/s/9f81fef2-14de-11da-9df1-00000e2511c8.html US troops in IraqThe US is expected to pull significant numbers of troops out of Iraq in the next 12 months in spite of the continuing violence, according to the general responsible for near-term planning in the country. Maj Gen Douglas Lute, director of operations at US Central Command, on Wednesday said the reductions were part of a push by Gen John Abizaid, commander of all US troops in the region, to put the burden of defending Iraq on Iraqi forces. He denied the withdrawal was motivated by political pressure from Washington. He said: "We believe at some point, in order to break this dependence on the . . . coalition, you simply have to back off and let the Iraqis step forward. "You have to undercut the perception of occupation in Iraq. It's very difficult to do that when you have 150,000-plus, largely western, foreign troops occupying the country." While he cautioned that any troop reduction would be conditional on continued political progress and ongoing improvement in Iraqi force training, he said Centcom planners believed "the political process will play out, that we will see a constitution, that we will see, by some political machinations, the Sunnis brought into the process and we will proceed to national elections in December". "If we see that and if we see progress on the second front, which is continued progress with the Iraqi security force next year, this time we'll be in the position to make some adjustments in our force structure." Last week, Gen Peter Schoomaker, US army chief of staff, said his office was planning for the possibility that troop levels could be maintained until 2009. But Maj Gen Lute said such a worst-case scenario was unlikely. - Pentagon plans for `long war' on terror The US hopes to pacify Iraq and then take on al-Qaeda and its affiliates in an offensive from the Horn of Africa to Afghanistan's borders. http://news.ft.com/cms/s/82134d7c-14ec-11da-9df1-00000e2511c8,dwp_uuid=c1a5b968-e1ed-11d7-81c6-0820abe49a01.html - "I will tell you this, as the operation officer of Centcom, if a year from now I've got to call on all those army troops that Gen Schoomaker is prepared to provide, I won't feel real good about myself," he said. "I think that's not a good sign of progress." Gen George Casey, commander of allied forces in Iraq, made similar comments last month on reductions that could come by early next year but they were played down by the White House. George W. Bush, the US president, has said no decisions have been made on troop levels in 2006. "I think they were rumours. I think they're speculation," he said at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, this month after meeting his national security team. On Wednesday, the president again insisted: "We will stay, we will fight and we will win the war on terror. An immediate withdrawal from Iraq or the greater Middle East, as some have called for, would only embolden the terrorists." Maj Gen Lute's comments - the first to detail extensively the reasons behind such a reduction - give credence to reports that Gen Abizaid hopes to hand over to Iraqi forces within the next year large parts of the 14 Iraqi provinces that have remained relatively peaceful. Maj Gen Lute, who is responsible for the Centcom's plans over the next 12 to 18 months, said military officials expected troop reductions to occur most rapidly outside the Sunni Triangle. Asked whether this meant British troops in the south could be withdrawn before American forces, Maj Gen Lute said: "That's entirely feasible. I'm not revealing operational plans here, I'm only talking about the logic of the adjustments. We need to look for the coalition national flag coming down at forward operating bases, battalion-sized locations, and the Iraqi flag replacing it," he said. "We're beginning to see that now in the south." http://news.ft.com/cms/s/9f81fef2-14de-11da-9df1-00000e2511c8.html ------------------------ Yahoo!
