On Withdrawal of US Terror Forces from Iraq-I
Have the Occupiers really gone-off?
Today the western powers and their meida define, explain, determine and justify anything and everything accrording to their whims and fancies; They expect the rest of the world to follow blndly their footsteps and, if they don’t, they are weakened and crippled to make them obey. Democracy thus is also what the US-led western powers practise and think. Today's democracy, accordingly, also means bullyng the weak nations and dividng the world into big powers and small powers. But the West and its cronies say the entire world has be democratic as the western regimes are, but democracy today could be surmised by the acts of sate terrorism, invasions, genocides, squandering of alien resources, destructions and anything and everything that the western powers decide in Islamic world. Iraq stands a living testament of western hypocricy and embodyment of state terroirsm effects.
Then, at the end of the announcement it was briefly mentioned that the US-led combat operations are due to end only by September 2010, with all troops gone from Iraq by the end of 2011. With a sense of “democratic” pride the global media, known for their anti-Islamic campaigns and other types of mischief, announced on 2009 30 June that the US troops, having “formally handed over” security duties to new, pro-West and anti-Islamic Iraqi forces, have withdrawn from towns and cities in Iraq, six years after the terror invasion ostensibly to locate Osama and his hidden nukes. As per US plan, a public holiday – so-called National Sovereignty Day – was also declared by the US puppet regime in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq , and the capital, Baghdad , threw a giant party to mark the eve of the “changeover”. Iraqi soldiers paraded through Baghdad ’s streets in vehicles decorated with flowers and Iraqi flags, while patriotic songs were played through loudspeakers at checkpoints. The picture presented by the media was fantastic and rather appealing: the “democratic” functioning of terror forces in Iraq who “dutifully” withdrew from Iraq keeping the deadline and an emerging new colorful Iraq .
US troops’ withdrawal from Iraq ’s cities and towns to their military bases has been loudly acknowledged by the Iraqi regime and its agents, but they underplay the role of the remaining troops. As pro-West Iraqis celebrated the US withdrawal, a car bomb in the northern city of Kirkuk killed at least 27 people. The Americans, loud and overbearing after their speedy victory six years ago, fell quiet and thoughtful that day because of fear of retaliation by the suppressed and terrorized people. USA stressed that there would still be a lot of US combat capabilities in Iraq for months to come" and “still have a very robust number of US troops in Iraq and, in fact, those troops will not begin to withdraw from Iraq until probably several months from now. Signs were draped on some of Baghdad ’s concrete blast walls reading " Iraq : my nation, my glory, my honor" made to order by the ruling regime.
That in simple language only means western terror war in Iraq has not ended! Though there are many ifs and buts yet many believe that it is beginning of the end of war in that unfortunate country.. Some 131,000 US troops remain in Iraq until at least September, including 12 combat brigades encircling cities if not saturating them, and the total is not expected to drop below 128,000 until after the Iraqi national election in January. Pentagon says roughly 150 American bases have been dismantled or handed over to the Iraqis across the country, but in some cases, especially in Baghdad , city limits have been redrawn to allow American bases to remain to control Iraq effectivley through the neo-Iraqi regime. Nor will the total number of U.S. troops in Iraq decline overall. USA determines the entire course of Iraqi life hereafter as well.
USA has the strongest possible military power which was showcasd it US terror invasions wihtout any oppsiton form UN or UNSC. In 2003 the USA under Bushdom regime, on the advice of Neocons, invaded and terror-attacked soverign Iraq bypassing UNSC, ostansibly to search for Osama and his WMDs. All these years they did what theyeven they wanted freely; the terro rforces killed thousnads of Iraqis, apart from brutally murdering President Saddam Hussein, squandered resources and took contorl of the oil resources there; established a terror regime that also promotted rampant corruption in the coutrny to play one section of Iraqis agisnt the other. More and more troops were added from USA and its terror allies. Now a gang of US forces has left Iraq with big fund and fair.
One of the stated reasons for particle troop withdrawal from Iraq is to strengthen US-led terror war position in Afghanistan-Pakistan. Pentagon said the US-led terror and combat operations are due to end by September 2010, with all troops gone from Iraq by the end of 2011. The pullback comes two years after the US "surge" of extra troops between February and June 2007, which saw US troop levels in Iraq reach about 170,000. There was a decline in violence, but recent months have seen an upsurge. In the past 10 days nearly 170 people have been killed and many more injured in three attacks in Baghdad and oil town Kirkuk - about 250km (155 miles) from Baghdad. In the past two weeks about 250 people have been killed in a wave of attacks. Iraqi and US troops have been on alert for attacks during the pullback. The city is the centre of northern Iraq ’s oil industry, and home to a volatile mix of Kurds, Arabs, Christians and members of the Turkmen community.
Thousands of defenseless Iraqis have been slaughtered to quench the anti-Islamic thirst by the US-led terror occupiers. While the pullback is somewhat significant as the first step in the right direction, the actual withdrawal of US combat troops in 2010 will pose a greater challenge, as the GSTs (Global State Terrorists) are not expected to keep their words. Despite the pullback from cities and towns, US troops will still be embedded with Iraqi forces. It seems the initial withdrawal was a dram enacted to hook the Al-Qaeda, if they are still there. Both American and the Iraqi commanders say they are expecting al-Qaeda in Iraq and other groups to attempt to re-ignite sectarian tensions. The success of that depends on Iraq ’s political leaders and their ability to tackle the country's many outstanding problems and tensions.
Western media dominated exclusivley by the terror minded Neocons made the world belive that Iraqis want to reform thir coutnry and Saddam Hussein was tyrant and dictator, especially Saddam won the 100 mandate for his Presdency. Americans were told more than once by Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld that their soldiers would be greeted with hugs and kisses when they marched into Baghdad . That never happened when US state terroirst invaded Baghdad wihtout legitimacy. What happeeeeened was forful occuation and genocides targetting Saddam and his people. In order to stay on in Iraq, Bushdom split the Iraqis into Sunnis and Shiites to fight each othr killing Muslims along side genocides by the US-led terror forces. Instead, as US soldiers pulled out of all Iraqi cities last week, Iraqis celebrated a new holiday called the Sovereignty Day. Obama has to do away with the global fear complex created by the mischievous media to terrorize Muslims and others.
Perhaps thinking that all US terror troops have returned to the US barracks to resume their free liquor celebrations, President Obama proudly stated the US troops have withdrawn from Iraq ’s towns and cities on schedule, but he also warned of "difficult days" ahead. Obama described the “handover to Iraqis” as a milestone, but said the country's leaders would face "hard choices" on politics and security. The chief US agent in Iraq Al-Maliki describes the American withdrawal as a "great victory" for Iraq over the occupiers, comparable to the withdrawal of British forces in the 1920s. NATO terror agencies expect some fights in Iraq so that the Pentagon would add some more troops.
