Military Coup In Iraq: Prime Minister Maliki Refuses To Step Down; Security Forces On Alert, Encircle Presidential Palace
Just days after the US launched a campaign that implicitly aides the current regime headed by the supposedly outgoing PM, al-Maliki, it appears that latest US intervention has already led to "unexpected" consequences, this time with the prime minister appearing to have just staged a coup overthrowing Iraq's president President Fouad Massoum moments ago.
Reuters reports that the prime minister "indicated that he will not drop his bid for a third term and accused the president of violating the constitution in a tough televised speech likely to deepen political tensions as a Sunni insurgency rages. Maliki, seen as an authoritarian and sectarian leader, has defied calls by Sunnis, Kurds, some fellow Shi'ites and regional power broker Iran to step aside for a less polarising figure who can unite Iraqis against Islamic State militants.
The days of Iraq's president appear numbered:

Bloomberg adds that Maliki says he’s going to federal court to sue President Fouad Masoum for violating the constitution, according to comments made to Iraqi state television. President Masoum in breach when he extended constitutional period for chosing a candidiate to form government and for missing deadline for new period, according to Maliki. Maliki adds that Masoum is in a "coup against the poilitical process” that would lead “Iraq into a dark tunnel.” Maliki warned Presidential council, parliament and federal court about Masoum.
The news has promptly led the WaPo Beirut chief correspondent Liz Sly to ask the question: did Baghdad just have a coup 3 days after the US conducted its fourth military intervention under as many US presidents?
A coup in Baghdad? Maliki announces he won't resign and orders security forces on alert. So much for bringing democracy to Iraq.
— Liz Sly (@LizSly) August 10, 2014
Others are inclined to agree:
Iraq in crisis. Maliki refuses to step down, attacks the President on live TV. Reports of forces massing in Baghdad, rumours of a coup.

And according to less credible sources, the army is already in play:
#BreakingNews Eyewitnesses: More army enforcements and hundreds of soldiers are now being deployed across all of #Baghdad. #Iraq #ISIS
— Rami (@RamiAlLolah) August 10, 2014
When we thought #Maliki gathered more & more troops in #Baghdad to defend it against #ISIS he was actually plotting his military coup. #Iraq
— Rami (@RamiAlLolah) August 10, 2014
Odd timing indeed. One thing is certain: the US will not let this crisis go to waste either.
However, what makes this particular development especially interesting is that a very organized ISIS is already doing its best to conquer the Iraq capital. A very disorganized army coup may be all that was needed to facilitate this goal, and to put the Iraq oil trade "in play" once again.
And the worst news of all: Obama two-week vacation on Martha's Vineyard is ruined one day after it started.

They are smart and strategic. Why go after Baghdad right now, it's isolated and surrounded so to speak by their forces. What they are doing is making sure what they have is consolidated and maintained before taking a few steps at Baghdad. And then seeing the Pershmerga fall from the ISIS onslaught caught the US offguard and they couldn't believe it. ISIS is going to fight also up north to push the Kurds into Turkey and Iran and allow them to control those Oil fields.
.
Just think of all the additional high quality top of the line US owned, sold, donated and left behind military equipment about to fall into ISIL/S's hands for the continued liberation of freedoms for women and non-believers
Why, I'll betcha that they'll find at least another 1,000 of those portable crucifixion stands (brand new and unused) in the US inventory.
Whadda day whadda dya whadda day.
Don't worry "folks" while I'm on vacation, Plugz'll be handling everything.
...no, I want the bike without the high upper bar...
What a perfect moment to blow the dam.
He just got done telling us that "we" won.
I guess by "we", he, Kimosabe, meant the Muzzie Terrorists.
"We"
Gives a whole fucking new meaning to "we", n'est-ce pas?
If I said it once I said it a thousand times: When the elites use the word "we", they mean it. Them. Not us.
When a politician says 'We' won, he means 'He' won - 'We' just get to pay for it.
Nah, I'd just wait for some American air jock to hit an IS "target" at the dam and blow it. That should stir things up.
The weather here in Martha's Vineyard is spectacular. Wish you were here. Michelle.
Watching ISIS soldiers parading in front of the camera with M4's, humvees, GM vehicles, and other former U.S. equipment makes me ill. Inevitable at this point, but nauseating still.
We are currently supplying the FSA with TOW anti-tank rockets. The video I saw last night had an interview with a Syrian who lamented that the U.S. had promised, but not delivered anti-aircraft missiles as of yet. Why not? Then we could at a later date use it to justify military action against a "new terrorist threat" that emerges. Those attacks would create more jihadis, and then we could attack them! And then.........
Unfuckingbelievable.
Are these the same "forces" that abandoned Mosul? Maliki better hope they're a tad better at defending against unarmed civilians then they were against ISIS. But I wouldn't hang my hat on that.
Seriously, what a shit storm. Perfect opportunity for ISIS to come in and clean out the whole lot. I predict Obama will let the Green Zone fend for itself.
Popcorn?
Now that you mention it, where does the Green Zone McDolald's and BK get their meat? I saw them in a documentary about Iraq on TV and they are packed on the weekends there with just about all 5,000 embassy people wanting a Big Mac or a Whopper.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!! ROTFLMAO !!!!
YET....another prime example of Muzzie political stability !!!
WHOOOhhhh hoo........that'll sure ratchet up respect in the world for the Muzzie !
"I hear that ISIS coming. They're comin' round the bend. And when that ISIS comes....they'll be choppin' heads again."
All the 'Muzzie' haters completely miss the point that religion is the most reliable divide and conquer method known.
Why the fuck do you think it's jammed in your face by MSM so much???
Because it fucking WORKS!
Why do you think the Founding Fathers of the US wanted to separate Church and State?
I'll now answer my own question.
Because they saw how dangerous not doing it would be.
I'm not American by the way.
Yeah.....the Muzzie uses religion to "divide" your head from your shoulders in order to "conquer" you.
Treat the Middle East like a petri dish.
Let's see how this bacterium grows.......before incinerating it.
the mossad are hunting him down since he is making a mockery of this shittiy zionist psy op.
OBAMA WON'T KILL MOSSAD AGENTShttp://aanirfan.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/obama-wont-kill-mossad-agents.html
PM Maliki should get all the double indemnity insurance he can in the short time he has remaining. The Nail Gun Squad does not limit its activities to banksters.
Moar Kabuki theatre...puppet Maliki revealed too much and now the CIA-birthed ISIS brigade suddenly appears just before elections? Just coincidence, I'm sure.
However, our puppeteer masters want puppet Maliki to go along with current air strikes aginst ISIS (read Sunni ogvernement control) which is being portrayed as a "humanitarian" relief op in the MSM, so they can begin the coming air strike ops against Syria (and the most hated puppeteer, Putin).
Arm all sides, keep the narrative "light" and populist, flood the MSM with "shiny objects" and oil that printin' press fast!
Gotta love psychopath thinking!
None of this matters. Ebola is now airborne, according to the CDC, and can be spread via "casual contact" defined as being within 3 feet of an infected person of by being in the same room for a prolonged period of time.
1 Casual contact is defined as a) being within approximately 3 feet (1 meter) or within the room or care area for a prolonged period of time (e.g., healthcare personnel, household members) while not wearing recommended personal protective equipment (i.e., droplet and contact precautions–see Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations);
http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/hcp/case-definition.html
The new plague is here.
On the bright side, there are tremendous investment possibilities here for great profit. Protective clothing and gear and infected dead removal and disposal firms have great potential, don't you think?
Jihadist says "THAT'S MY BOY" as son hoists up head
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2721230/Thats-boy-Australian-jih...
This will not stop until these animals and their offspring are exterminated.
This defies belief, I can hardly belive that it's real. So we have an organisation http://www.syrianews.cc/isis-the-bombshell-interview-to-impeach-obama/ that's been soaking up $$$$ supported by the TPTB "capturing US supplied heavy weapons" (surely these need codes to run and surely they can be disabled by command and therefore with compliance) with but surely the Australian/British (& others) drawn to join this "jihad" know where the funding comes from. Surely they know where the training camps are, where they get sent back to hospitals for treatment. So we have an Aussie that's headed over there with his son, a wee lad. Has he been indotrinated to the point where he allows this. Who how or by what means can this be done?????
I've been trying to work out the answer to this question for a while (before seeing children brought into it). There was a current affairs piece on the news about a young man who had had his passport revoked. Ex gang member, family converted to Islam, yound man with violent gang upbringing echews the gang life for the peacefull life cue to the family around the table eating. He's already been over to Mecca once (first class ticket paid for by Saudi Arabia) and he wants to travel again, but his passport has been taken from him. Listening very closely to his answer to the question. "So the govt has taken away your passport because they are worried that you may be radicalised". Answer "well that's not true Islam, yes sure there are Inmans (??) that preach that stuff, but mine's not like that".
So what makes them make that jump, and not only that take an innocent child with them?
The Religion of Peace.....rolling along.

don't they get it...democracy doesn't work. They need a democratic constitutional republic with 'fair' representation of all areas of Iraq. you know, like taking the US constitution and actually following it....
And... Futures open in five minutes...
BULLISH..... bitchez!!!!
the farce that keeps on giving.
I was just checking in and what do I see...another government going down. Stocks might be immune or might not.
Should be good for a couple hundred up on the DOW.
Buy Northrup Grumman and Lockeed Martin.
Between those two, you have purchases of new drones and missiles locked up. New orders coming boys.....BUY BUY BUY !!!
Unless I'm mistaken, Raytheon is a real leader in missile manufacture, plus they are (were?) leading in powered exo-skeleton development.
This shit just got real. Iraq is probably finished now. US won't put troops in (quagmire). Price of oil will go up.
Thank you George W. Bush, Barak Hussein Obama and Neocons, you have destroyed the Middle East, you fuc*ing fools.
Did not the last month of trading teach you that even OIL can be manipulated? Going down to make the dollar look good. And if nothing else, turmoil abroad has always helped the dollar in an "honest" fashion over the last several decades. Go turn on the TV - nothing to see here.
Higher oil prices is bullish since countries need more petro dollars in their coffers.
Tell that to the guy with his hemi 4x4 standing at the pump.
He'll either look at you funny or shoot you.
He's a fucking idiot for owning a 4x4 hemi
Peak Cheap Energy doesn't care about 4x4 hemis. Peak Cheap Energy doesn't give a shit.
Better to trade that redneck toy in for a tractor. Or solar panels to go off grid.
4 X 4's are handy in the bush, hunting, fishing, getting to your secret garden.
Not so good on gas.

I wonder if the Saudis are shitting themselves or are comfortable with their guys? I really have no idea at this point but if the US doesn't do what the Saudis want then the petrodollar is finished right there and then. This will be a fun 3-4 months. I hope we get to see what 2015 has in store.
OH HELLLLLLL YEAH....the Saudis are shitting their skirts.
Right now Prince Bandar is on the phone with W. and Cheney telling them they need to get the Republicans in line in Congress to work up an aid package and to get the military on high alert in case ISIS does a Sadamm Hussein ala 1991.
You can't destroy what has been fucked for 7,000 years.
You sure about that?
It's called history. Try it...you'll like it Mikey.
It can certainly be destroyed, see Carthage. If there is a single animal left alive, two stones left on top of each other, or a single plant still grows, there is something left to be destroyed.
Beheadings, mass live burials, crucifixions, and even incinerations of churches full of refuge seekers is not enough to move the exhausted American public or the morally bankrupt Administration and Congress tormenting them with insessant conflictng demands for both increased productivity and debt-fueled consumption, and for shared responisbility and fairness under economic repression and devaluation.
No. The failure and ignomy of the United States is not borne alone. Russia is busy grappling with it's soviet era buffer puppet hedgemon who have slipped the leash. I just won't even bother to question the absence of definitive action on the part of the illustrious multi-cultural European Union, or deride the impotent silence of the purportedly cash rich and supposedly emergent China, bankrupt feeble old Japan, or the shallow callous faded British empire...
The Saudis could care less about anything but polo and the vacilations of their sovereign wealth fund.
The developed world is already paralyzed in a state of numb bitter resignation and will watch in dumb fascinated horror.
There are no heroes. The pompous religions are shamed.
Do not bother with the placement of names on the globes. Burn your maps.
What is is ending.
What is to come is the devil unknown, born in blood under a black flag..
Send in the US Troops will you.

-America
While the US doesnt want Iran to have it - even if they get their guy in place now - there are enough shiites to undo what Obama does in tme
Iran is lauging their azz off. BTW, Iran will probably be able to stop this however must handover Israel to them. End of story, Amerika probaly then can think on its own and not be Israel's Bitch
I kind of doubt Iran is laughing. Maliki is their boy. ISIS is not their friend.
Plain, simple and to the point.
Tariq Aziz, an Iraqi Christian, formerly a high official in the Baathist government of Saddam Hussein, has agreed to serve as the new Iraqi President. He is to be released from prison in order to take on this new responsibility. It is hoped that he, being neither Sunni nor Shiite, will be able to govern the country without the appearance of favoritism to either side. Early indications are that the Kurds will not oppose his selection.
No way.
Either he's not Christian (not really) or this news is nonsense.
He's a Chaldean Catholic and damned near ready for hospice.
He comes to the post with some baggage, however his prior experience in administering a multi-ethnic and multi-sectarian state is seen by many as a plus.
Dude, either provide the source or lay down, he's 78yrs old and in prison.

OMG.......ROTFLMFAO !!!!!!!
REALLY.....A CHRISTIAN ? EVERY MEMBER OF ISIS JUST GOT AN INSTANT BONER THINKING ABOUT CUTTING THAT DUDE'S HEAD OFF.
RED FLAG.....MEET BULL !!!!
YEAH BABY....THIS IS DELICIOUSLY FUN !! GRABBING POPCORN NOW !!!!
An unnamed official speaking on behalf of the largely self-governing Kurdish Regional Government stated that, during the time that Aziz held the post of Deputy Prime Minister (1979-2003), that in his dealings with the Kurds, Aziz could be generally characterized as being "tough, but fair."
Fuckers are burying "folks" alive because they are not of the proper sect, and you want a Christian to solve their problems?
There will be no governing that area until millions die. That is the reality.
Tru' dat' as they say in da hood.
Tariq Aziz as Deputy Prime Minister was the number 2 in Saddam's government. Saddam was both the President and the Prime Minister. If the information that he is being invited to become the President is true, it could be good news for Iraq. He is s statesman and can help Iraq heal.
How will this Impact the stock market? (OMFG!)

Oh, and look! Little Suzie just turned 18.
Yep...I went there.
She was already broke in at 17 by Blankfein and Jamie in a threesome.
The parents were ok with it. Their portfolio shot up 22 % that year.
Blankfein and Jaime like underage boys.
When working in Phoenix I watched the Preteen and Teen Boys get into the Scottsdale elite's Lincoln Contenientals to take it in the ass.
The Phoenix Police were actually protecting these little boys from us mean construction workers and then turned a blind eye to their elitist masters as their masters enjoyed molesting underage boys.
I despise the elite. This spoke volumes. If I had not seen this happen then I would also find this hard to believe.
But I am not supposed to believe my lying eyes, I guess.
These are sick, satanist monsters.
damn.....sounds like "Eyes Wide Shut"......but instead of paid hookers servicing the elite at the pagan house party.....it's little boys.
damn.....really ?

Obama's humanitarian bombing campaign is just a political act to show that he 'did something' prior to the genocide. This is all about Israel using ISIS as a military front to distract, weaken and eventually attack Iran. It's not a coincidence that Hamas have been almost wiped out while ISIS have been posturing for the Iraq and Bagdad takeover. ISIS is an Israeli weapon of mass destruction. Zionists use everyone else to die for their cause, it's one of their principle techniques of control.
Jews--is there anything they can't do?
Cook good Italian food, I think.
make a hooded viper with their foreskin
Get along with their neighbors.
So, how well the Muslims get along with their neighbors? Pretty well I reckon, after they behead them. And, while we're on the subject, Muslims can't seem to get along with each other either.
It seems that they can't ever learn to make a good ham sandwich.
They do have that in common with all their neighbors.
Aren't they actually cousins to the halal?

rbg81, -- yeah they can't do any productive work and they can't be truthful are what comes to mind right away
Yeah, sure, right. Many high tech companies were founded by Jews, including Dell, Oracle, Google, and Facebook. Andy Grove, who led Intel for many years, was Jewish. Last time I checked, the Israelis build their own weapons and major companies, like Intel, Motorola, and Microsoft have R&D centers there. Plus all those Nobel Prizes that Jews have won. In contrast, its the Arabs who have to hire people to come in and wipe their asses for 'em, as well as running anything more complicated than a light switch. If it werent for oil, the GDP of Arab countries would be zilch.
They know they have a limited time to hold the world by the balls with their black gold.
Once that's gone....and its getting there VERY quickly.....they know they are going to be the shit upons all over again.
They'll make the mistake of trying for Jerusalem one last time once it becomes obvious to the world that Peak Cheap Energy is here to stay.
But that will be the last of the Middle East and the Muzzie problem.
Israel has stolen more than it ever invented.
Wow--what an awesome comeback [/s]. Here's a better one: I've forgotten more than you know.
It's not nice to hit the monkey slinging poo.
But I can't help it.....it's so much fun.
"Jews--is there anything they can't do?"
Even if You overlook and/or forgive the damned whining and the damnable usury there are the grating arrogant baiting displays of misplaced pride such as you have just exhibited...
...They can't leave well enough alone. No matter how well they have it anywhere the Jews can't do peace.
I never said Jews were perfect. But every ethnic group has its warts. What pisses me off about too many ZHers is that they seem to think that, on one hand, Jews magically own/control everything & thus are responsible for all the world's ills. As if there were no other actors and everyone else is just an innocent bystander (especially themselves). On the other hand, they also think they're inferior to everyone. You can't have it both ways. I just find the whole anti-semitic mindset simplistic, naive, and uncivil.
At the same time, these people seem totally oblivious to the significant and real threat posed by Islam--which is something the Israelis have to contend with on a daily basis. I just find the level of intellectual dishonesty and hypocrisy stunning. Which leads me to believe that many of these people are just losers with an ax to grind. They get off by blaming the Jews for their own failures.
At the same time, these people seem totally oblivious to the significant and real threat posed by Islam--which is something the Israelis have to contend with on a daily basis.
They 'have' to contend with it because they decided to immigrate, colonise, and steal the Palestinians' land.
But that little detail always gets forgotten by zionists like you, I notice.
Israel was created by the UN. Seems like you anti-semites always forget THAT little detail.

Hope they have their Golden Parachutes !!!...speaking of Gold, how the fuck is it not above $10,000USD, with all the world in chaos.
You're new here, aren't you?
The white man be keepin' it down.
That's "Whyte" man...British, you know....[snort, sneer]
>> Gold, how the fuck is it not above $10,000USD
$10K? I think that's close to my break even point. $15K and I start liquidating.
If Gold is trading at $15K then the $USD is cooked. I would not trade it for $USD as that is evidential that we are in Hyperinflation.
Of course I will be trading it for LAND, Factories and Productive Facilities. Those prices will collapse as the Currency is destroyed. Now that may seem that it is counter to what would happen but if you studied Hyperinflations everybody will be trading their Hard Assets for Gold.
You trade it when everybody wants it and buy it when everyone does not...like now.
you mean levitating
The day gold is $15K, dollar as a currency is gone. Good luck.
Overly bullish, long black cloth and flagpoles.
Wasn't there a military dictatorship in Iraq a few years ago? Nevermind, I must be thinking about another country where there was a dictatorship that the US once supported and later deposed.

I've seen this show before. Luckily I'm not in the front stall this time, and
it won't be migs straffing the presidential palace, but then again ...
So many, it gets confusing.
Malaki's taking them to federal Court there in Eye-Rack. That'll Shirly resolve it ... as long as Malaiki has Josh 'The Hammer" Weinberger as his lawyer.
But he has the backing of the "White Hats"...and a mountain of Dinar....
So the great Iraqi army, that is currently having a sale on "never used, dropped once" weapons thinks it suddenly has what it takes to launch a military coup and play king of the sandbox in a tough neighborhood?
Bullshit, so who's backing/pushing them?
I wonder how long it will take for Sean Hannity to bitch about how we gave freedom to the Iraqi's and Obama pissed that all away ?
Hey Sean....the only way for the Iraqis to keep their "freedom" is for you and your family to go there and help them defend it.
I mean....you being such a "Great American" and all. Hop on that Freedom Train baby and save the Iraqis again.
Don't include my children though.
The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." ... "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."
-Karl Rove
What an utterly truthful statement. Gotta appreciate that at least.
Yeah, great lesson in what our overlords think of logic, morality and history. Susskind didn't attribute the quote to Rove though, did he? It was just "an unnamed aide".
Rove was Bush's brain.
Cheney was the heavy and Conde Rice was the boot licker
<shiver> what a horrific trip down memory lane
Not like today's Obama nightmare is any better.
If people just would have listened to me in '48.....
they're sociopaths
Total chaos as ordered up and designed. Perhaps a New World Order would help fix this?

John McCain for President of Iraq
Let the fucking sunnis and shiites go at it like in a WWE lumberjack match where neither opponent can leave the ring until there is a winner. They hate each other, let them kill each other for the love of Allah. Any politician advocating putting US troops over there should be tried for treason.
They'd be tried for treason more quickly for letting gas go to 8 bucks a gallon. We don't give a shit about anybody but ourselves. It's the 'Merican way!

Aren't we all in love with the idea that ISIS in Syria are our friends when we hear it from President Lancelot (secret chimp) Link and Insane (shit for brains) McCain and Scary Kerry?... But when ISIS is in Syria they are the enemy!...
Ask yourselves how it's even fucking possible that these guys in D.C. All of them, including the lobbysists haven't been showered with petrol and set on fire by this stage? Or for that matter the entire Nations Capital?
media control is effectively the same as mass hypnosis
Will Kenyans be eligible to run for election after the coup? Or are they going the more traditional dictator route?
Well too bad they won't take they hand out, along with the sock puppet
Looks like it's all working out over there. Good show!
Release the water already.
Iraq's water broke? New civil war birth at any moment
the "civil" war that started in 2003 never ended.
Release the water?
You mean Release the Krackin dam (the Mosul dam is just one more camels straw crack away from catastrophic failure)
Maybe a Dutch police mission will help.
After all, we did a great job in Afghanistan, Ukraine,.....
Sent in the policeman !
Level that sewer and get the hell out!
