Washington Opened The Gates Of Hell In Iraq: Now Come The Furies

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by David Stockman via Contra Corner blog,

The late, great critic of the American Imperium, Chalmers Johnson, popularized the salient concept of “blowback”. That is, the notion that if you bomb, drone, invade, desecrate and slaughter - collaterally or otherwise - a people and their lands, they might find ways to return the favor.

But even Johnson could not have imagined the kind of blowback coming ferociously Washington’s way now. Namely, the mayhem being visited on much of Iraq by American tanks, armored personnel carriers, heavy artillery, anti-aircraft batteries and other advanced weaponry that has fallen into the hands of the very jihadist radicals that have been the ostensible target of Washington’s entire multi-trillion “war on terrorism”.

No question about it. The ISIS terrorists are winning against the hapless Iraqi military and even the formidable Kurdish peshmerga fighters - using some of the most lethal arms that the US military-industrial complex could concoct.

Yes, that wasn’t supposed to happen. During the bloody years after George W. Bush declared “mission accomplished” the Iraqi’s were ostensibly provided the arms and training to provide for their own defense. The American “occupation”, therefore, was really not all that. Instead, it was actually an exercise in “nation-building” that would bequeath to the people Washington had “liberated”  a self-governing democracy equipped with the means to insure internal order and external security. Washington politicians—including President Obama—gave endless speeches about that. You can look them up!

Except…except….Iraq was never a nation. At least the Ottoman’s knew that you don’t put Shiite’s, Sunni and Kurds in the same parliament or police force, and most certainly not the same army!

By contrast, it was the British and French foreign offices which in 1916 drew the Sykes-Picot boundaries and created the historical illusion that a nation called Iraq actually existed. And it was their successors in the west which installed a series of corrupt and brutal rulers, including kings, generals and Saddam Hussein himself, who maintained an always tentative and frequently blood-soaked semblance of governance within these artificial borders.

Then came the neo-cons who for no discernible reason of national security could not leave well enough alone. By god, they were going to have regime change, a stable supplier of 6 million barrels of oil per day, and a stalwart ally armed to the teeth on the very doorstep of the Axis-Of-Evil; that is, the Iranian Shiite theocracy which happened to be religious kin to the single largest block of the Iraqi population.

What these fools did was to open the gates of hell. The end result of Washington’s 20-year campaign to liberate Iraq, beginning with the first gulf war and followed by the devastating trade sanctions of the 1990s and the brutal desecrations of Bush II’s “shock and awe” and all the military mayhem which followed, was to aggravate, widen and mobilize all of the latent ethnic and religious conflicts and enmities that had been bottled up for decades inside the Sykes-Picot illusion.

Now the furies have come. Ironically, the bloodthirsty ISIS is comprised of fighters who were first enabled by the misbegotten Bush maneuver known as the “surge”; then armed and trained by the CIA for the campaign against Assad;  and now brandish the best weapons that any ramshackle jihadist group ever had.

And yet America’s “peace” President is sending the bombers back in because there is a “humanitarian crisis” involving a religious sect no American has ever heard of, stranded on a mountain top that has nothing to do with the security and safety of the citizens of Lincoln NE and Spokane WA.

Has not the American war machine turned the entirety of Mesopotamia and the Levant into a humanitarian crisis—of which this is only a tiny manifestation? Isn’t it time to at least stop fueling the blowback?

I love Stockman. But does he genuinely not know of Oded Yinon and his influence on the PNAC crowd?

I suspect he does know, but keeps his analysis a little more mainstream-y because he hopes to get people thinking and doesn't want to be considered another Paul Craig Roberts.

At least you're not watching CNN.  I put it on for literally 3 minutes earlier today.  In that short space of time, I heard an anchor say -- and I am not exaggerating -- 1) that Obama had a hard time at his press conference announcing the bombing because he "obviously" does not want to do it, so he didn't make "eye contact" with the "American people" inside the camera, and 2) that he must do it because it is an obvious humanitarian mission. 

You can't make this shit up.

I don't ordinarily watch CNN, but I happened to catch some the other day, and I gotta say, CNN and FOX are so over-the-top with the propaganda and nonsense {and Fox is heavier with the partisan shit to angle toward a different demo} it's hard to believe people don't object just for reasons of style and presentation alone.

How many times did CNN get caught faking stuff?  The fake set during Gulf War take 1, the fake fucker reporting from Syria, the Jewish Al Qaeda member...  at least Fox once did a hard-hitting series on a spy ring arrested around the time of 9/11.

 

Apparently, Abe Foxman made a phone call and had it yanked.  It seems he feared it might result in "anti-Semitism" - certain truths about 9/11.

 

Anyway, if it weren't for bad luck we wouldn't have no luck at all... how long until a tsunami or earthquake hit fukushima?

Rand, Like you I could not avoid the temptation to tune in CNN the last couple days to get the official State Department and Israeli talking points. Really quite a show, you would swear this was somebody's Bar Mitzvah! Literally the entire AIPAC membership and half of the Jews in Israeli were on CNN on the space of an hour. Needless to say, Gaza was being liberated, and ISIS was now a bad guy again after US and Israeli support for over 2 years. They even found a minute to annouce that the same Russian missile team that shot down the Malaysian Jet had now shot down a Ukrainian MIG-29 with the same BUK system. This, according to CNN proves that Russia was either shooting down planes with BUKS or they were operating the rebels BUKS systems. Oddly enough, no body anywhere, including the Kiev government has shown proof of a rebel BUK and no evidence of any rebel radars to feed the BUK fire control. The MIG-29 was not hit with a BUK as there are none in rebels hands. A shoulder fired missile hit the MIG-29 which was heading low for a bombing run, the crash site was the scene of numerous explosions as the missile payload cooked off.

CNN is quite the pack of liars. Straight face liars.

Speaking of Israel and Russia...

Have you noticed that Israel is NOT supporting the U.S. sanctions on Russia? Yes, the sanctions are idiotic, but Israel is our BFF in the Middle East, right? Our dual-citizen congress (and apparently no other country on earth) supported their current Gaza genocide, so why don't they support our dual-citizen congresses stupid-ass sanctions on Russia? 

Hell, Israel didn't even condem Russia for annexing Crimea like the rest of the EU U.S. boot-lickers. So Israel approved of that?

It's time for the U.S. to declare some retalitory sanctions on genocide welfare we're providig to Russia-supporting Israel. No $3.1 billion U.S. tax dollars for you, you non-Russian-hating fuckers. Drag your sorry war criminal asses up to Moscow and shake down Vlad for your next pile of death bux.

Only don't try to threaten him with your stolen U.S. nukes when he tells you to fuck off. Vlad don't play that. He will pre-emptively Samson Option your ass.

Indeed Tony,

 

You are 100% correct, and besides, most of the wars and strife in the region are caused by the Zionist Virus.  One only has to look back to the causes of WW1 and specifically WW2 to see that Zionsim / Banskerism caused wars and strife the world over. 

 

They changed their strategy for Europe in time, and of course, with the establishment of the IRS, the FED, Lobbying powers, and hollywood even, has proven what damage can be caused to the USA.

 

On the article itself, I have to disagree with this line:

 

Except…except….Iraq was never a nation. At least the Ottoman’s knew that you don’t put Shiite’s, Sunni and Kurds in the same parliament or police force, and most certainly not the same army!

 

That is false line.  Iraq's boundaries might have been set by colonials and Gertude Bell; but certainly the "Land of Iraq" - indeed the word "Al-Iraq" existed way way way back.  In it lived all sorts of communities in the form of Akkadians, Summarians, Asyrians, as well as Various Strands of Both Islam and Christrianity, and Jews too.  There was no strife or problems or secterian based clashes. 

 

The odd one out of course are the Kurds, who aren't too far detached (their origins and genetics) from the Khazars.  And we know EXACTLY what's become of the Khazars don't we?

Patton wanted to finish "it" - the commies, and look what the OSS (the commies) did to him for it.

There is no one left with balls or brains.

What we have left are barking RedCoats and Hessian zombie Universal Soldiers, trhe ones here winning the down arrrow contest, yapping away about total war like Curtis Lemay.

I've been listening to this crap - fix it over there so it doesn't come here - all my life. Wrong paradigm. Reality is: CREATE IT over there so we can run it over there. 

THEY have one constant on which they depend: That there always will be a bunch of dumb Scotts Irish who are willing to get their legs blown off for them. us - AND them isn't US you fools.

In the meantime, while you have been over there doing the necons work, they have diddled your kids, your wife, and your dog, smoked all your cigars and planted termites in your barn. Welcome home.

THE NEW AXIOM FOR EMPIRE

borrowed from the knick-knack shop
and now applied to nations and peoples.

from "spreading democracy"
to "you break it, you own it".

How convenient,
all one has to do, under any pretext,
is invade, bomb, and otherwise destroy
whatever catches one's eye,
and presto!
One owns it !
"It" meaning a nation and its inhabitants, who are now all just another "it".
And by owning, we mean that "it" is our property, each and every "it",
to do with it whatever we want.

We will treat it kindly, the oil and minerals that is.
We may even privatize (over to us) what we like,
to take special long-term care of what we did not break.
The people, well, that's different.
By invading and causing ruin, "we gave them a chance"
So says our esteemed president, a Nobel prize winner, no less.
Thus, when we don't like what "it" became with that "chance",
why that's all the more right to bomb over again, and again.

After all, we broke them, we own them.
Or so the mantra of empire informs us.

Caller: I have all these Vietnamese moving in to my neighbourhood, I don't like it! Too many of them! There's a Vietnamese family living right next door to me all of these Vietnamese coming over here taking our jobs, how would they feel if a whole bunch of Americans just decided they wanted to move into Vietnam?!

Newman: I'd imagine they would probably spend the next ten years fighting a bitter defensive war, many of them living underground in a series of interconnected tunnels, until through a combination of military genius and ideological conviction they achieve a victory over the greatest military power ever known. But then the United States realises the territory it has lost militarily, it can still control economically and so using IMF structural adjustment programs they prise open the Vietnamese economy to transnational banks and corporations, thus triggering the financial crisis which leads to the collapse of social welfare provision, thereby causing doctors, nurses and teachers to migrate to the United States and look for work in branches of Dunkin Donuts, where they are paid wages so low, they are forced to move in next door to ignorant white trash.

Warning Warning Warning! Progressive Asshat History Rewrite! Warning Warning Warning!

 

The US military bumbled around terribly but wiped out the Viet Cong. It's a fact that with US air support, the Army of the Republic of Vietnam crushed the North Vietnamese regular army "easter" offensive to such an extreme degree that it took North Vietnam three years (until 1975) to re-build enough strength to launch another offensive. Let us not forget Operation Linebacker II, which had the NV shitting their pants and crying for peace. They were done. Toasted and crumbley. F**king genius my ass. The NVA only took south Vietnam by conventioanl army invasion after the americans left and progressive asshats had defunded their viet brothers resupply leaving them to die by the millions.

Walter Cronkite has lots of blood on his hands.....rot in hell lying c**ksucking m-f**ker.

Before you morons pop a blood vessel I am against any intervention in sovereign countries. F**k all of them. Not one American dime to any.

When I was very young I had a turn of the century Rand McNally map. It showed the Russian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, but no British Empire. Not that there wasn't one, the 'gandyists just sliced "our team" differently to soften the fact that they thought our ancestors too stupid to deal with the facts of life. COEXIST with these cannibals? Easier to COEXIST with rapists, they only go so far... drop dead, Senator Warren.

So this map showed "Jerusalem" and "Palestine" inside the Ottoman Empire. No Israel.

Remember also how much hate FRANCE got in the US for NOT wanting to contribute in this dirty Irak war.

The whole dumbass "LIBERTY FRIES", the TV news showing proud Americans pouring French wines in the gutter, the “cheese-eating surrender MONKEYS” things – all kind of silly jokes still continuing, even in ZH …. Five years of Anti-French slander and vilification was thus thrust by the White House, the administration, members of Congress, governors and by lackeys in the media (like Fox News or Murdoch Press).

"Except…except….Iraq was never a nation. At least the Ottoman’s knew that you don’t put Shiite’s, Sunni and Kurds in the same parliament or police force, and most certainly not the same army!

By contrast, it was the British and French foreign offices which in 1916 drew the Sykes-Picot boundaries and created the historical illusion that a nation called Iraq actually existed. And it was their successors in the west which installed a series of corrupt and brutal rulers, including kings, generals and Saddam Hussein himself, who maintained an always tentative and frequently blood-soaked semblance of governance within these artificial borders."

No truer words were ever spoken.

Basically your question was stupid.

Empires come & go so I answered the only way anyone with a modicum of historical knowledge can, when an empire dissolves/collapses, it gets divied up, which is what happened to the Ottoman Empire.

But I'll ask the same question of you that I actually gave in my answer the first time, which you're either too obtuse or too stupid to understand.

What gave the Ottomans THE RIGHT to conquer (and subjugate) all they held TO BE divided up when they bit the dust?

there are nore than 50 different rebels groups in Syria-  one of them is Isis

This shared enemy gives Arab's a reason to ally with Israel and it sucks in all the terrorists from the area.  Martin Armstrong had mentioned this.

remember, we were lied into Iraq, not by oil execs, not by corporte lobbyists, but by Israel Firster shills.  Period.

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2004/01/lie-factory

The difference between the neocons’ Israeli and Amercian discourses finds its explanation in the Israeli document itself, which recommends Netanyahu present Israeli strategy “in language familiar to the Americans by tapping into themes of American administrations during the cold war which apply well to Israel”; the Netanyahu government should “promote Western values and traditions. Such an approach […] will be well received in the United States”. The references to moral values are thus nothing more than tactics to mobilize the United States. Finally, while the authors of the Israeli report stressed the importance of winning the sympathy and support of the United States, they also declare that their strategy will ultimately free Israel from American pressure and influence: “such self-reliance will grant Israel greater freedom of action and remove a significant lever of [United States] pressure used against it in the past”.


Passing off a threat against Israel as though it were a threat against the United States is a trick to which Netanyahu had no need to be converted; he has been employing it since the 1980s to rally Americans alongside Israel in the “international war on terrorism”, a concept which he can claim to have invented in his books International Terrorism: Challenge and Response (1982) and Terrorism: How the West can Win (1986). In their book An End to Evil (2003), Richard Perle and David Frum likewise work to embed the fears of Israelis into the minds of Americans; for example, they ardently urge Americans to “end this evil before it kills again and on a genocidal scale. There is no middle way for Americans: It is victory or holocaust”. It is, however, impossible for anyone to be consistently hypocritical, and it happens eventually that neoconservatives recklessly open their thoughts to the public. This is what happened to Philip Zelikow, Councelor to Condoleezza Rice and Executive Director of the Commission on September 11, when, speaking about the Iraqi threat during a conference at the University of Virginia September 10, 2002, he let slip: “Why would Iraq attack America or use nuclear weapons against us? I’ll tell you what I think the real threat is and actually has been since 1990: it’s the threat against Israel. And this is the threat that dare not speak its name, because the Europeans don’t care deeply about that threat, I will tell you frankly. And the American government doesn’t want to lean too hard on it rhetorically, because it is not a popular sell”. That’s really it in a nutshell: the United States must be led to make war with the enemies of Israel, and in order to that, Americans must be convinced that Israel’s enemies are America’s enemies.

What a brilliant way to continue expanding the superelastic bubble-plastic debt. Destroy people and the countries of the mid-East, leave a bunch of our awesome military material behind and then send in our own forces to destroy it when it is commandeered by locals trained by the CIA and Mossad; BRILLIANT!

Stop H.R. 5344 from banning responsible law abiding citizens from owning body armor!

 

Preserve our right to own, possess, and transport body armor as a law abiding citizen of the United States. Stop H.R. 5344 from stripping citizens of our freedom and ability to defend ourselves and our families. Protect our freedom to purchase and own body armor, regardless of the protection level.

body armor = football or dirtbike gear. kevlar knows no political context... its just body armor.

I've been shot wearing military kevlar by friendlies in test, and in motocross gear by hostiles in Mexico.

It was the same. 

You can be sure Feinkenstien is working to make motorcycle safety equipment illegal. For jews too. Duuh

Someday the largest army on Earth (armed American citizens) is going to weigh in on this mess and be reckoned with. Laugh all you want... tens of millions of armed Americans and countless veterans are going to "speak" soon.
