How The US Is Arming Both Sides Of The Iraqi Conflict
Recall a week ago we wrote "US Begins Delivering F-16s To Iraq This Week, A Decade After It Wiped Out Iraq's Air Force" in which we said:
... the US will deliver the first of 36 F-16 fighter jets to Iraq in what Baghdad's envoy to the United States called a "new chapter" in his country's ability to defend its vast borders with Iran and other neighbors.
....the US earlier in March provided Iraq with some 100 Hellfire missiles as well as assault rifles and other ammunition. Then in April the US sent more arms, providing Iraq with 11 million rounds of ammunition and other supplies.
It is unknown how many of these have fallen into Al Qaeda/ISIS hands (we do know that at least one Iraqi Black Hawk chopper was captured during the rush for Mosul). What is known is that as PBS Frontline reported two weeks ago, while the administration has denied arming Syrian "rebels", i.e. the same ISIS militants that have crossed the border and are now fighting in Iraq...
... the reality is that it has. From: "Obama Says Not Arming Syrian Rebels, Syrian Rebels Say He Is"
... the Syrian rebels themselves say they are already armed and trained by US in the use of sophisticated weapons and fighting techniques, including, one rebel said, "how to finish off soldiers still alive after an ambush." The interviews are the latest evidence that after more than three years of warfare, the United States has stepped up the provision of lethal aid to the rebels, as PBS notes "it appears the Obama administration is allowing select groups of rebels to receive US-made anti-tank missiles."
The commander of the unit also told Ali that their American contacts had asked him to bring 80 to 90 members of his unit to Ankara for training.
One of the fighters said they received three weeks of training in how to conduct ambushes, conduct raids and use their weapons. They also said they received new uniforms and boots.
“They trained us to ambush regime or enemy vehicles and cut off the road,” said the fighter, who is identified only as “Hussein.” “They also trained us on how to attack a vehicle, raid it, retrieve information or weapons and munitions, and how to finish off soldiers still alive after an ambush.”
To summarize: the US was arming and training the same Al Qaeda/ISIS groups of Jihadists, that it concurrently gave Iraq weapons to fight. And since the Iraq army has so far proven utterly incapable of any resistance, it is now up to US drones to "fight" the same "rebels" that the US itself was collaborating with until a month or so ago.
The clear winner here? The US military-industrial complex, of course, as well as the banks who lend money to the governments to fight wars provoked by various "developed nation" spy agencies.
Collateral damage? Millions of innocent people on the ground in Syria and Iraq, and everywhere else too.

Our politicians learned this tactic from the banks that donate to bribe both party's candidates.
This way they are sure to win!
chaos is how a tiny (evil) minority rules the world... or tries to anyway.
We're breaking our own windows!?!?! Someone better give Krugman a paper bag to breath into.
How about a plastic bag wrapped around his head?
Still, to this day, do not know how this scene ever saw the light of day. My only explanation is large brass balls by the banksters.

all that prayer softens the brain and turns them into perfect pawns to do whatever bidding the head maniac shouts.

The Jews plan, and tactics, haven't changed.
The "Young Turks" and "Committee for Union and Progress" were Jewish led. They broke up the Ottoman Empire and murdeded 1.5 million Armenians to pave the way for the creation of Israel. Back then they funded both sides, Muslims and Christians, so that they could mutually annihilate each other.
The "Russian" Revolution wasn't very Russian when Lenin spoke Yiddish and Stalin was married to a Jew who's father headed the secret police. Churchill wrote that Jews from the underworld of Europe had risen up and become literally the masters of a vast empire. Actually, most of the leading reds were from the lower east side of New York.The Red Terror claimed 100 million victims world wide.
The present crisis in the Middle East has been engineered to kil more of us and make way for "Greater Israel".
Their weakness is their small numbers. It only takes a small percentage of the world population to wake up and give them the boot.
And in other breaking news...
Looks like the NeoCon plan to break up a Pro-Iranian leaning Iraq under al Malaki into EASILY DIGESTABLE AND CONTROLLABLE PIECES is intensifying as the Kurds now take over the important oil producing city of Kirkuk.
Yup.... when the MSM tell you it's all about religious fanatics it's a reasonably safe bet it isn't...
"The forces of Iraq's autonomous ethnic Kurdish north, known as the peshmerga, took over bases in Kirkuk vacated by the army, a spokesman said: "The whole of Kirkuk has fallen into the hands of peshmerga," said peshmerga spokesman Jabbar Yawar.
"No Iraqi army remains in Kirkuk now."
Kurds have long dreamed of taking Kirkuk and its huge oil reserves. They regard the city, just outside their autonomous region, as their historic capital, and peshmerga units were already present in an uneasy balance with government forces.
The swift move by their highly organised security forces to seize full control demonstrates how this week's sudden advance by ISIL has redrawn Iraq's map - and potentially that of the entire Middle East, where national borders were set nearly a century ago as France and Britain carved up the Ottoman empire."

Our dear leaders and their able handmaidens in the MSM are the ones that are full of shit.
"Our dear leaders and their able handmaidens in the MSM are the ones that are full of shit."
The MSM are the whores hawking the elites' "truths and facts".
Cute little federale warmongers-being whipped by the central bankers. Nasty little S&M games.
The Al Qaeda fighters in Syria that we support who are fighting the Assad regime we do not support, are now marching through Iraq which we do not support, to take over the Iraqi government we support, and are being opposed by Iran which we do not support, all with weapons we supplied on both sides.
That, my friend, is a solid business plan. BTFATH
And our own anti aircraft missiles will be used to shoot down our own planes? I'm having a problem figuring out the game plan.
Yes...but some of the bad guys will die too. So that's at least something.
I'm not having any trouble figurng out the game plan.
"And our own anti aircraft missiles will be used to shoot down our own planes? I'm having a problem figuring out the game plan."
Are the Iraqis paying for the planes or is it some kinda foreign assistance program ?
You forgot the exclamation point!
Defense contractors gotta eat, same as worms.
Ya gotta hand it to them smart-n-savvy people, they sure know how to create bullshit for the dumbasses.
Don't worry Hillary will save us.
It's about time we had someone with a different genital configuration to lead us. We've tried everything else, so this must work.
Don't fork over any cash until you look under the hood.
I'll take their word for it...ty
See, that's the kind of thinking that got us here in the first place. Now we're stuck with no title and a bad tranny.
Hillary is uniquely qualified to run the empire
"There ain't nuthin uglier than and old white woman." Fred Sanford, Sanford and Son
Think she has a set of those "Maleficent" horns to wear?
So, when Hillary doesn't work, we'll have to try something really new, like a multi-racial bi-sexual transgender hermaphrodite, because that's sure to work.
Let's just cut to the chase and elect a Brown Nosed Weasel. Why not?
Or we could try something different, like Rand Paul. If he is 15% true to his father's principals, we will certainly be trying something different!
That would make him 85% true to the principals of the smart-n-savvy people currently running things.
"And our own anti aircraft missiles will be used to shoot down our own planes? I'm having a problem figuring out the game plan."
The plan is to sell more planes.
I'm tellin ya, you might just be onto something here.
There's gotta be some combination that will work!
it works for the SFPD /s
but that's what we got now (?)
How are you so sure who has the balls in that family.
>>different genital
yeah, but he was talking about Hillary, so no dice.
She definitley makes me think they're right on the burka thing
She does have an uncanny resemblance to Dr. Evil:

I'm gonna use Bill Clinton's head as a candleholder.
I lend some of his teeth for her to hang around her neck tho.
"Each one for everyone one of those phucking whores he's stilling banging."
Who said being a Hegemon was easy?
(((((ZEROHEDGE NATO)))))
War is a racket.
And damn good business for the racketeers.
In the eyes of our government, tax payer funded F16's and machine guns for Al Quaeda is ok and squirrel gun ownership for you is bad. So it's perfectly reasonable for this government to send military quality weaponry to terrorists but openly advocate for gun confiscation for you. Seems legit.
Kinda makes you wanna walk into a diner somewhere and reduce the size of .gov.
So will the displaced refugees be airlifted to Phoenix or El Paso?
This is no secret. The rebels have posted youtube videos of their TOW anti tank missile teams in action against the Syrian Arab Army. The US made the decision to up the weapons given to their terrorist allies because the Syrian Arab Army has been defeating the NATO fighters all across Syria. Desperate to regroup, Obama has released new lethal weapons systems to the rebels whose only reliable fighting units are Al-Qaeda forces, the so called Organ Eaters. The ones who massacred thousands of Christians and drove the others from their homes and churches. Obama and the CIA both applauded these great victories and counted the dead women and children as Assad loyalists, deserving of death.
Obama is no less a butcher of humans than Bush was. Notice, ALL American Presidents engage in war and terrorism on a grand scale. Obama is going to be replaced, and the next US president will be even worse of a war monger. Mark my words on that!!
"Obama is going to be replaced, and....."
I don't think we are going to make it that far Jack. I think all hell is going to break loose before his term is up.
Is this the BLACK SWAN? Watch for out for other outbreaks in the Middle East!
you can't see black swans arriving. by the time you see a black swan, it's all over.
....then, lock n load.... buy body armor...
I agree Doc.
Idon't see us making years end before this starts to unravel, and then only six
months to finish it off, once it starts.
Having this narcissistic, fag ,bitch, holding the nuke switch does concern me.
I don't think its stable now mentally,let alone in that event.
This is "Jihad"...a "teachable moment." After they're slaughtered they'll be a pause for prayer and reflection for the survivors. "5 times a day" bitch.
These things always "explode"...WINSTON.
Just look at the fruit vendor that started the...what is it called? "Spring Offensive"?
Be interesting to see who they ring up to "stabilize the Front."
General "Betrayus" you see?
Let's seem some Abrams with the barrels pointed right at Congress then. "ABRAHAM LINCOLN" GIVING THE PHUCKERS THE STARE DOWN AT THE OTHER END TOO.
I can't think of a law our government doesn't break on a daily basis that it doesn't imprison its own citizens for breaking the same laws. Counterfeiting, aiding and giving material support to terrorist, arms dealing, drug running, money laundering, extortion, murder, tax fraud, you name it. Like the one kid said to the TSA agent during a pat down, "this would be sexual harrassment if you weren't the government." We have a body that now passes laws to apply to the people they are supposed to be representing, but they flaunt every single goddamn one. This is the most grotesque raping of the word justice from the very people who take oaths to uphold it. We've truly become the USSA.
We seem to be losing on all fronts suddenly. Either we're switching to blind destabilization, or running out of money, or our opponents are uniting. Quoting Robert Newman yet again: "We sure are bringing about world unity, because nothing unites the rest of the world better than the hatred of us."
Could also be the case of everyone being a loser - witnessing slow motion collapse of the industrial era through exhaustion of cheap abundant energy.
Maybe we've decided to go all-in on drones. Those operations are expanding annually with no end in sight. Maybe we're pulling the firepower back in anticipation of turmoil here at home. Too many maybe's.
The world seems crazy in part due to availability of unfiltered information. Before the wars were out of sight and out of mind, now they're left right and center, in your face. In the past we could retreat and call it a victory (Korean war is a good example). Nowdays people are much harder to fool.
Individuals are able to gather their own intelligence and draw conclusions.
In the past the wars relied on dehunamization of the enemy. Nowdays you can go online and talk directly to people you're told to fight, in order to discover that you both are being fed the same bag of lies by local oligarchs. In WW1 few confrontations became a disaster where enemy trenches were at arm's length from eachother and the soldiers eventually made peace and put dow their guns, discovering that "the others" were just as much family men, farmers, factory workers - that the soldiers had more in common with eachother than with their governments.
Today we have internet and it alters all battlefields drastically. It makes future uncertain.
Old power structures are becoming more violent, trying to preserve their satus quo, but they seem to be losing ground... at least I hope they do.
+1 extremely well said. The revolutionary importance of the internet and free flow of information can not be understated. The ability for the common man to access all this info and form his own opinion would almost mitigate all the pushes to war by the elite. Any future world conflict, I believe, would have to start with the shutdown of that capability.
...the next WOAR will start with a major flag draped murder of innocent americans on a huge scale. 911 was their test case study of how to perfect the mobilzation of the entire country on a large scale towards TOTAL WOAR. Iraq was the tactical training mission. Next is getting the disenfranchised angry enough to direct their hatred....This is all playing out like a sick and twisted movie

The crazy thing is to deliver a point of view like that. It is an 'american' thing, on one hand claim bamboozling has grown harder while at on the other side trying to bamboozle with an incredible lie. If something, the 'american' power structures are trying to rein in the ever increasing level of violence coming from the 'american' middle class. People in power, even when they are 'american', must deal in reality. Over the last decades, the lie that 'americans' would not seek war if they were better informed, was utterly reduced to nothing. 'Americans' usually do not bother to lie properly, they come with a thick lie and then depending on the reception of the lie, 'americans' know who is against them or with them. 'Americans' in power know that their lies were pretty bad. They know that 'americans' knew they were thick lies. No more conscription, so 'americans' join military forces without being coerced by 'americans' in elected positions. The 'american' covenant is made clear: an elected person must provide an 'american' middle class with wars. 'American' middle classers want wars and the opportunities that go with them. Nobody (except 'americans'), when it comes to 'american' middle class societies, can hide behind disinformation, misinformation, lack of education etc to explain the lust for blood the 'american' middle class has kept showing. That culture of death is so deep in 'american' societies that 'americans' are no longer satisfied by their public offer of war but also want a private offer of war that has skyrocketed with the multiplication of private army organizations.
Maybe Iraq wants to add an "I" and turn it into BRIICS?!
Iran already got that place.
It would have to be BRIIICS.
..and the U.S. now must re-re-re(?)-attack the country declared an accomplished mission?
.... this new improved nightmare shitstorm..
this is too complicated for the geniuses in DC
Yea, I think at this point they're just going with utter chaos theory and hoping somehow their necks will be magically saved.
I don't think so, Mr. Beans. ISIL will be Obama's excuse to move into Syria. The American re-public will be reminded that AlQaeda is (still) the enemy in dramatic fashion- i don't know, maybe the embassy will go poof- and we'll be off to the races. Again. There's a plan here. Plans within plans. How do you wage a world war without anyone noticing? Without anyone panicking? Watch and learn.
Vlad made it abundantly clear that there would be no US intervention in Syria. There will be no US boots on the ground in Syria.
They hate us for our freedoms!
Forgot the "sarc tag"
There, fixed it.
what a fucking surprise. In other news men like getting head.
You recognize that merely solving problems and advancing the cause of humanity is, hmm, so beneath them.
Instead, create a cesspool of chaos and misery, and ride to the rescue (sic).
Is anyone else experiencing slow feed? ZIV isn't updating quite as fast as the others.
Wow just look at the streets filled with anti Iraq war protestors chanting NO OBAMAWAR FOR OIL! It's all over every MSM channel! Oh wait, I forgot their magical negro is in charge now so whatever he does is just fine, proving all of them were nothing but hypocrites all along.
The authority worshippers never question their own authorities.
As most humans are authority worshippers it's why almost every "democracy" on the planet ends up with a kick-ass male-oriented Red-Team and a smothering-mommy female-oriented Blue Team; both battling their way to the top of Mt Authority.
We can't fight the programming in our brains.
Well, I have none of that in my brain.
Many people on here aren't, but - you've probably noticed - not many people on here.
You can't have 5000+ years of centralization of societies without LOTS of people being unquestioning dumbasses.
McCarthyism and J Hoover killed off the dissenters and put the fear of god (lloyd blankfein definition) into the rest of the herd. Americans sat on their hands so long the limbs are useless.
Hey Iraq Army: GET OUT THERE AND DEFEND MY OIL BITCHEZ!!
Actually untrue, most covert US military spending gets laundered through Israelis, we're paying Israelis to arm both sides.
Canter is their inside agent.
How else do people think Obumpma can give heavy duty weapons like blackhawk helicoptors to his frined the Al Quada ?
Stay focused folks, the GOD chosen people want the demise of Syria and Iran. The chosen ones do not feel safe until everyone is dead.
Same old same old, Iran Iraq war a million dead and the US feed both sides.
So now we have Syria....Iraq....Iran..Pakistan...Afghanistan..Ukraine....Russia all involved with skirmishes. Hmmm. Seems the whole region is getting into the action. Market should sky rocket on this news, very good for commodity prices and consumer sentiment.
I suppose some of those hellfire missiles will make it into Chicom hands for copycat tech, as well as cartel hands, Lot of Mexican gang bangers fighting in Syria I hear.
I think the cartels will be opening new offensives in Mexico with advanced US weapons.
"To summarize: the US was arming and training the same Al Qaeda/ISIS groups of Jihadists, that it concurrently gave Iraq weapons to fight. And since the Iraq army has so far proven utterly incapable of any resistance, it is now up to US drones to "fight" the same "rebels" that the US itself was collaborating with until a month or so ago.
The clear winner here? The US military-industrial complex, of course, as well as the banks who lend money to the governments to fight wars provoked by various "developed nation" spy agencies."
This game is so transparent and worn even I did not need the obvious pointed out to me. I asked before in comments on a Ukraine war piece and I ask again, 'What if they gave a war and no one came?'
The pentagon did a no show in Syria. NATO is a no show in Ukraine. Langley however has read the writing on the wall and moved from challenging a challenger (Putin) who has them outmatched in wits, to challenging those with whom it has had closer ties, NATO and the Pentagon.
I expect we will see just how far Langley has fallen if they fail in these latest al ciada efforts brought to Iraq straight from the plains of Syria. If they cannot control both sides of this war attempt, well...........
Borrowing a page from Goldman's playbook....back all candidates so you've also backed the winner...
Let's send TSA and DHS over there to straighten it all out.
Cripes! This has got to be terrible news for the NeoCon military/industrial complex!!
Can we at least get them some tax relief or subsidies or SOMETHING??
Hullo???
The 'american' way of doing business. Nothing new.
Y'know, for a bad tranny, it sure still leaves skid marks, and, it's fully insured! Don't be scared of the spinning rim job,
but expect to get run over even if YOU still have to use the crosswalk.
