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.

Insane.
USA did it.
NATO did it.
Shame on them.
This is all the fault of the British who carved up the middle east on the back of a cocktail napkin.
Too bad so many people had to die for a 3 state solution.
The perfect timing for an ISIS attack on Bagdhad
For those isolationists out there, remember 9/11. Mohamedism is like Hitlerism, a totalitarian ideology bent on global domination. If you don't go for their throats, they will come for yours.
Yeah I remember those dancing Israelis in the white van, later stopped near the George Washington bridge loaded with explosives.
yup, I sure do.
Confucius say "man who wear tortilla on head has bombs hidden in truck"
Here's how stupid some Americans are, it's 600 yards to the hole and after the guy hits the shot somebody yells, " get in the hole". and then there's Obama.
<sigh> tell me about it. I work at a lot of those tournaments. Fat yuppie with a bubble head blonde on his arm and a beer in his hand....sometime with a tobacco dick in his mouth puffin' smoke.
HEEEYyyyyyyy Tiger !!! WHOOH HOO !!! Smacks it off a 400 yard tee and then yells "GET IN THE HOLE"
Roman Empire.....meet Fall.
I think he exempted all the Shia from Malikicare.
Not many of the Shia know that Malikicare doesn't cover beheadings.
That's going to bankrupt the system
i upvoted you jumbotron i want to thank you for being the forums village idiot and as usual my software shows that yet again you have upvoted yourself.
you really are giving the honorable jew a bad name old bean sort yourself out nobody likes a needy victim : )
Hey man.....nobody else is going to upvote me....might as well be me.
I approve my message.
So they got Saddam with the WMD gambit and 11 years later they get Malaki with the ISIS ploy.
Who says our guys don't what the fuck they're doing?
Betcha Obama puts 'em on getting a five cent cigar next.
I'll say they don't know what the fuck they're doing it's just that people like you keep claiming they do when they dont. We are wrecking the fucking world because people keep believing we have some kind of plan. We don't.
We don't have plan, did you say.
Har de har har.
We have a plan alright. But the sheeple are too deep in denial to see it. It's a rather simple two part plan:
First part Tell the American peeps there is plenty of oil left for their precious global economy and their precious military EVEN THOUGH THERE ISN'T.
Second part Gas and nuke up your TWENTY aircraft carriers and send them round the world wherever the place runneth over with black gold. Turn those places into war zones
Embargo and sanction those places you can't get to. Foster revolution where possible. Aid coups d'etat when necessary.
TRY TO AMASS EVERY LAST DROP OF OIL IN THE PLANET UNDER YOUR CONTROL BECAUSE YOU ARE EXCEPTIONAL AMERICA AND MANIFEST DESTINY TOLD YOU TO FUCK EVERYBODY.
"We" don't have a plan however the 200 or so neocons who dominate US foreign policy have had the same plan since the late 90s: rubble-ize the middle east and split the ruins into little pieces who aren't a threat to Israel.
(Which is actually just a scaled down version of the Wolfowitz doctrine.)
Futures up the limit, right?
The ultimate false flag now will be for the US to blow up the dam ISIS just took control of, and blame ISIS. This will defeat ISIS as they would be shunned by the world and all Muslims and create a gargantuan distraction for the collapse of the US economy. We're all starting to think like the CIA, FBI or Moassad, this has to be a bad sign.
I wonder if this has been discussed by the rogue state of the USA?
I propose that we send Hunter Biden to the middle of the Tigris valley to check for water and report back if he sees anything.
the dams being blown up seems pretty much guaranteed unless they're taken back quick
bullish, bitchez
I hear from US "Deep State" sources, that the Kurds will declare an independent state soon, after a referendum in which 90% are expected to vote for a Kurdish independent state and sever ties to Baghdad. The USA is now totally oboard with this and the State department is preparing to use propaganda about the election for statehood to seal the deal. You might note, American plans for the Kurdistan nation mirrors the Russian Federation Plans for Crimea, they are mirror images of eachother. Yet, NATO is prepared to go to war to overturn the Crimean vote. Also, Washington is now arming Kiev to prevent any vote in the east to decalre independence as the Kurds are planning. Again, USA can create a state of Kurdistan, Russia can not create Crimea or Donbass, even though 75-90% of these people voted for independence. These types of votes are considered as grounds for war by NATO. New information out of Kiev is saying that American troops are now on the ground in Kiev is consdierable numbers. Also, NATO troops are in Karkov to secure the airport and to unload arms shipments to Kiev's army. These two facts are listed as confirmed by on the ground intelligence of the Self defense Forces and the Russian Federation.
Of the 700+ Ukie troops who fled to Russia, 6 officers and 12-14 enlisted NCO are being held by Russia to face war crimes trials, the evidence and documents taken by the SDF in their capture of hundreds of Ukie troops give written evidence of use of illegal weapons on civilians. Russia is going ahead with the case, NATO and KIEV will scream like wild dogs over this.
Iraq is being split up into different nations and AMerica is carrying out the creation of a Kurd state. Russia should, in my opinion immediately copy the American plan for Kurdistan and apply it the the entire Donbass. No better time than while America is nation building and nation tearing apart. The USA bombs Iraq to help civilians, Russia should be bombing right now to save Donetsk from NATO artillery and Rocket forces.
Ok for Kurds to split off, not Ok for Ukranians.
The carved up Iraq was always the plan.
Same plan they have for USA.
And people thought Biden was dumb - only in letting the cat peek outside the bag!
If Russia ever rolls 'em then it's game over as nothing will dislodge them once they take any part of the Eastern Ukraine. My money is on the Reds as them dumbasses in NATO are about to blunder their way into humiliation without recourse. Just not worth fighting WW III over, really.
And, your Snowboards are pretty good too.
Hey Jack.....the Cold War never ended.
Hell....in a way.....WW 1 has never ended.
A petition for Kurdish independence has been fulfilled 2 weeks early with the White House petition 'service'. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/support-kurdish-independence/w... It is clearly the big step in the propaganda fight for an independent Kurdistan.
no one wants an independent Kurdish state not Iraq, not Turkey, not Iran. if Obama thinks he can push this through he should stick to golf. besides he has one destabilizing influence in the region ISIS or ISIL, what insanity would it be to add another? well just sit around and wait for the caliphate to take over Turkey, and drive the Iranian hardliners back into crackdown mode. the only imaginable reason for doing this would be one to recognize Kurdistan, and promptly set up a US military base to help them defend themselves, (but of course Turkey Iraq and Iran would also be contesting the new borders. sheer fantasy
What all the fuss about? Just some further birth pangs, right Condi?
RRRrrralph......you had to bring up an image of that boot licking war skanke.
Thanks a pant load.

Seems to me we have another, we-earned embassy evacuation crisis coming up.
Baghdad in chaos, ISIS ready to pounce, and we have a few hundred troops protecting the embassy and airport. Only turning half the city into a smoking ruin will buy us enough time to evacuate.
What will president hope and dither do? Grab the popcorn and watch the show?
...and a big sack of oats for Kerry.
If the USA supports an independent Kurdistan, Turkey may say FK the USA, pull out of NATO, and close off the Bosporus Straits to NATO ships. Looks like Obumbler could be in a tight spot.
Supporting an independent Kurdistan would be a convenient excuse for when the neocons try to take out Turkey but I think Turkey is only slated for rubble-izing after Syria and Iran - if they ever get that far.
Not clear on his this will ruin obamas vacation.
You think someone will tell him about it?

get your laughs in now, but if I were you, right about now, I'd be more worried about getting all that kiddie porn off your hard drive you digusting pervert.
It is courageous statements such as these that will eventually force the truth on the motives, hypocrisy and murder that those who have taken our country away from the true purposes of the American people are committing against this nation. And those who know the truth and then take action will demand a different government.
Thanks, DD.
AE911Truth has gotten a lot of traction with the Building 7 stuff. Frankly, it's depressing that basic physics [and the size and strength of the core columns] isn't so basic as to the towers, but it takes a special kind of remedial to believe Building 7, which absolutely did have more structural damage than many "truthers" will admit, came down like that because of office fires.
The hive mind, the media... well, you know, man - it's a form of hypnosis.
Anyway, I'm just some slob but I do love reading comments on messages boards/sites in the dark corners of the intertubes and there's a definite shift in the past few years. Although I don't think anything will come of it to 9/11 myself.
I think it's more about making the hypnosis harder and making future ffs harder to pull off.
better to light a candle and all...
And for things that really matter.
Did you all read the news that Kim Kardashian has now dyed her hair blond?
What is she thinking?!?!!
Do you realize most Americans no longer watch or follow the news. Everyone I meet who comes into my shop had no idea I say "Gaza" and they say.......what?
most say "I don't watch the news, oh no...its too depressing" no wonder they put the ugly stuff out, it makes them recoil in fear.

Well, the news is pretty much on repeat, it gets boring. ISIS was going to take over Baghdad, but we are still waiting. Russia was going to invade Ukraine, and we are waiting. Then ebola is going to become a pandemic, but meanwhile it's not. Financial appocalypse: not happening. Face it: it sounds like there is news, but there is no news.
People might watch if news reporters actually did their jobs as reporters and sought the truth by asking the hard questions. I have been appalled at even Fox News - which while not the typical liberal newsfeed - does nothing but serve as a chance for their guests to bash liberals without anything substantive to back up their opinions. Shockingly, I am flipping to Al Jazeera News - where stories get more complete coverage!
Give Obama a break, folks. He needs to keep working on his "hole in one" in order to feel good about himself. And what could be more important? Certainly not the fate of the world.

Coup in Iraq and the futures do not move an inch? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
What the frack?
They already knew about it last week.
Futures move at 4 am... Federal morning wood, as it were.
Soon there will be no futures.
There will be todays.
And that is it.
"the Kurds are the enemy.." George W Bush
Food, food, food, food.
Heat.
How many wars the United States will still forgetting about the food?
Invaded Korea and Vietnam, what they did? Bombed food courts of opponents, brought food from home.
The Roman and before them, the Greek army, so they killed the deposed armadua and turned farmers, who read a little more about history knows.
Let's be realistic, imagine a Russian base in Cuba, a base intelligence needs at least four battalions (2,000 men) armed a few more 500 operators, some 1,000 (if good) technical support.
Even with all the whores there, feed this bunch of people (I'm not speaking families) bringing food from Russia, is very expensive, not worth it.
Cuba evil and nastily feed its population, imagine if you had to feed approximately 10,000 more people!
People who do nothing but monitor radio waves!
Cost, cost and cost.
Does any American citizen thought to take the number of soldiers in the smaller base - among the 170 known - around the world and make a simple account of how much it costs?
Swear to you that would be horrified.
It's a lot of money thrown out, that money could have been spent indoors.
Brazil is as "troop UN peacekeeping" in Haiti, concerned citizens want the guys back already spent money on this nonsense. Brazil has been the Suez Canal, nowadays there is a ship in the Mediterranean.
Do not understand the reason.
Maybe if enchêssemos Fox (currently ship Airfield São Paulo) of food and medicine and he was sent to Gaza to help, everyone agreed.
Brazil does not want war but will not flee to fight when needed.
Provided it is within our territory.
hehe.
When Russia announced the re-establishment of that listening base in Cuba, it was followed the following day by Putin saying 'no we aren't'.
Very good way of poking the US in the eye, let them have kittens for 24 hours and then running away.
Agree that it costa an absolute fortune to keep troops overseas, especially when they are fed and water to the extent that US troops are.
"If it weren't for Unintended Consequences, I'd have no consequences at all."
How disheartening.
Will there ever be atrocities fought against where there is no oil?
One would like to think that the US and others would act in concert where there are massive atrocities occuring, and not just places where there is oil. Unfortunately.....
Everyone is forgetting about the
"Refusal To Step Down Clause of the Iraqi Constitution."
When a significant number of minor functionaries of foreign governments, retired military officers and opinionators on cable tv, all demand that the Iraqi PM, step down, it's not debatable .
Or would you prefer a nice cup of tea?

The big news is former Congressman Ron Paul says the US knows more than it is telling about the Malaysian air crash.
This is a former United States Congressman saying his government could be lying about one of the most important world-turning events in the past decade.
It is one thing when a country shoots down another country’s drone or fighter plane that crosses its border illegally; it is quite a different story for a nation to shoot down a loaded passenger airliner and blame it on another nation. We are entering dangerous new territory...
"The US government has grown strangely quiet on the accusation that it was Russia or her allies that brought down the Malaysian airliner with a Buk anti-aircraft missile," Paul said on his news website on Thursday.
Ron Paul: US 'likely hiding truth' on downed Malaysian Flight MH17
http://rt.com/usa/179284-ron-paul-mh17-ukraine/
Ron Paul is right. The story of MH17 has taken some strange twists in the recent week or so...
The strongest evidence produced so far are the visible round bullet holes in sections of the cockpit fuselage which - according to a German ex-pilot & aviation expert - were probably made by Ukraine's SU-25 fighter jets which are fitted with a 30mm cannon. The holes exactly match. He is quite clear they could not have been made by missile fragments (A-2-A or G-2-A). They are visibly too round for that and some are entry holes, others are exit holes, indicating it was attacked from two sides. A missile cannot do that.
Then there were the two eye witness interviews published by the BBC on video where the witnesses were quite clear that they heard loud bangs in the sky at the time of the downing. They also allege without hesitation that they saw two military jets in the sky at the time, trailing MH17. The BBC pulled the videos, claiming they were not up to their usual standard of news. Yeah right.
Then we have the MH17 black boxes sent to Farnborough/UK for analysis. Nothing has been heard of them since. The voice recordings could have been released within 24-48 hours.
Further evidence is that the Kiev ATC ordered MH17 to reduce altitude to 30,000ft prior to the incident. This will have been to ensure it was within range of the two SU-25's because they have an operational ceiling of 10,000m (33,000ft), not the 23,000ft asserted by some people posting on ZH and elsewhere (paid .gov disinformation trolls?).
Joining up the dots, it is virtually certain that MH17 was attacked by the Ukraine air force with 30mm cannon and an air-to-air missile (before or after being attacked with cannon fire).
YET, none of these revelations have been touched on by MSM. A conspiracy of silence is in place. If MH17 ever gets mentioned nowadays, these revelations are completely ignored and all comment is based upon the circumstances that existed before the revelations were made public.
The USG, UKG, MSM and hoards of expert "talking heads" wheeled on to TV News shows are collectively guilty of a massive cover up of mass murder of 298 innocent people.
ISIS - THEY'RE GONNA EAT YOUR BABIES!!
Here's an idea. How about we go into Iraq and sort things out. Worked out so well before.

Maliki must go. His son is even worse than Uday I have heard. I would have imagined they have stolen more than an enough money to fob off to Paris and live as exiles. Maliki's greed for money and power is as much of a cause of the IS advance as anything...though the US supporting the Radicals in Syria was definately the root cause. His country is falling apart and he pulls this shit?
Where have we heard these words before?
There is no country of iraq.
And this folks is what happens when you create a power vacuum in the Middle East...it always gets filled with something more evil...
Yeah, Jew terror.
Because they blow up the hotel to create the power vac.
ISIS is a false flag in Iraq.
Always go back to the jews where all false flags originate, they invented them.
Sorry, but you just won the internet today for what has to be the deepest basement dwelling stupidity uttered in the last 24 hours.
What you said cannot be topped. It's simply the definition of full bore retard.
Israel hasn't done false flags, or ISIS isn't supported by Mossad?
I just saw a still from the wide where ISIS has about 5 little boys, probably 6 or 7 years old lined up with their hands behind their backs.
It started playing automatically and I watched in absolute horror as they shoot all of them in the back of the head.
I'm actually crying right now. And understanding why my husband bought another gun and why we moved out of the city. I don't want any of this to happen. I can't do anything to help in Iraq except learn what happens when the thin veneer wears through. The Muslims are right about one thing, God WILL judge.
"The Islamic State (IS) is not an independent political entity. It is a construct of US intelligence." To not know your enemy is to lose the battle...
“The conflict is casually described as ‘sectarian warfare’ between Radical Sunni and Shia without addressing ‘who is behind the various factions.’ What is at stake is a carefully staged US military-intelligence agenda.” – Prof. Michel Chossudovsky
The Engineered Destruction and Political Fragmentation of Iraq. Towards the Creation of a US Sponsored Islamist Caliphate
The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham: An instrument of the Western Military Alliance by Prof Michel Chossudovsky | Global Research, August 09, 2014
First published by GR on June 14, 2014.
Update, August 9, 2014
Summary: President Barack Obama has initiated a series of US bombing raids in Iraq allegedly directed towards the rebel army of the Islamic State (IS).
The Islamic State terrorists are portrayed as an enemy of America and the Western world. Amply documented, the Islamic State is a creation of Western intelligence, supported by the CIA and Israel’s Mossad and financed by Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
We are dealing with a diabolical military agenda whereby the United States is targeting a rebel army which is directly funded by the US and its allies. The incursion into Iraq of the Islamic State rebels in late June was part of a carefully planned intelligence operation.
The rebels of the Islamic state, formerly known as the ISIS, were covertly supported by US-NATO-Israel to wage a terrorist insurgency against the Syrian government of Bashar Al Assad. The atrocities committed in Iraq are similar to those committed in Syria. The sponsors of IS including Barack Obama have blood on their hands.
The killings of innocent civilians by the Islamic state terrorists create a pretext and the justification for US military intervention on humanitarian grounds. Lest we forget, the rebels who committed these atrocities and who are a target of US military action are supported by the United States.
The bombing raids ordered by Obama are not intended to eliminate the terrorists. Quite the opposite, the US is targeting the civilian population as well as the Iraqi resistance movement.
The endgame is to destabilize Iraq as a nation state and trigger its partition into three separate entities.

It was widely rumored in CFR circles that the term "war on terror" was an essential euphemism post 911. I find it hard to believe that US stance has orthogonally shifted so as to support an Islamist Caliphate in the middle east.
US supports fascists and former nazists groups in Ukraine, why is it so hard to believe the US fucks support some islamist fucks? All of them are the SAME KIND.And the USA just managing this insane events with NOBEL PRIZE WINNER in the lead!
It's not the West - it's the Muslim Obama - the man who said the Muslim call to prayer is the most beautiful sound of all!
He's the SOB who was using Benghazi to supply weapons to Syrian terrorists through Turkey!
Obama's WH meets regularly with the Muslim Brotherhood, which is the father of modern terrorism fathering Alqaeda, ISIS and the Libyan terrorists who overthrew Qadaffi.
Stop falling for the leftist spin, a.k.a. lies.
"It's not the West - it's the Muslim Obama..."
Point taken, but let's not ignore that British PM Cameron is full square behind Obama's Iraq policy.
are you a troll, or just some poor idiot brainwashed by Fox news?
WTF are you doing here with this Obama is a secret Muslim bullshit - 'leftist spin'? You fucking idiot.

Maybe God will judge, but their God seems to OK killing non believers and ISIS troops are expecting 70 virgins when they die.
Perhaps ISIS think that the stock of virgins is running low, so part of their strategy is topping it it.
If you know you have oil in the country you go there.
Makes a humanitarian bombing.

Think an illiterate in the desert and gives him a book,
Says the guy who is a Constitution.
Probably the guy opens the book, see it's paper and use to clean up the tail.
Leaf by leaf.
KIkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
The Supermoon is conjunct Israels sadistic Saturn/Pluto conjunction. In the days forward it will be revealed how horrific it actually was. They are being unmasked in the 10th house which is the world stage, their neighbors, their hidden self image with Scorpio rising, and Neptune in 12th the forever self chosen victim, kings of brainwash even to their own people, which is why they seem crazy, they were made crazy. The Israeli public is the moon which is in the 8th house of Pluto, correlates to this sadistic conjunction of Pluto/Saturn. it means they have enslaved their own people with brainwash, Neptune 12th.

you/they are talking about newspaper astrology.
I know you like attacking others belief systems.
One has to study something before they can claim it is untrue, your articles show they didn't
We have been right for the past 7000 yrs.
lol
Great job, MIC. You haven't yet killed all of my brothers from the 1st Gulf War, or the kids I trained for the 2nd one. I'm sure you have a good plan this time, though, after 25 years of failure and destruction. It's like Sherman's March through the Middle East......yee haw !!
Here the American Jews are in Kiev saying "they could march us into our graves" in 2009

On a more positive note, THANK YOU Jack Burton for posting your updates.
the comments on this post are exactly why i was scared of the fact that zh was on the top line of drudge.
the quality of comments has litterally dropped to utter stupidity on this post. complete total dumb fucks.
this is what you get with the average american public coming to a site like zh and vomitting all over the comment boards. sad....
time to pull out an old aurora ex machina post:
@tesla
In retrospect, how do you rate the quality of your own comment?
On grammar alone you fail.
its the low information, right wing, Fox viewing, Evangelical "Christian" demo.
Fucking brainwashed meat sacks.
US didn't like Maliki getting friendly with Iran and by proxy Syria , so they gave world ISIS.
Yes the unintended consequences of US invasion of IRAQ have been horrible, aided by ignorance combined with hubris. It's not clear to me that as bad as nuking IRAQ would have been, that the reign of terror of ISIS isn't worse. As bad as the west can f-up things, ISIS muslims seem to be much better at f'ing things up for as many people as possible. It's not clear that being alive in the Caliphate wouldn't be worse than being dead.
Everything president Obamatard touches turns to mud....
Don't u just love it! All those American soldiers that thought they were fighting for their country. HA!
Don't u just love it (II)
The American flag waving in the background. Chenny, his right hand crossed over his heart. The Star Bangllleeeddd Banner playing in the background. Yippeee, the wounded Wariors. Ra, Ra, boss, boom, Ba!!
Don't u just love it! (III)
Thank God fifty (50) years ago we had the U.S. Armed Forces save us from all those Communist water buffalo's (oxen) from Vietnam that were going to stampede down American highways and trample our cities. Whew, that was a close one. Went to Canada and was called a coward. Fuck you, Carter pardoned us all. Fuck you again! I won.....
All you can really be sure of, really, is that what you see and hear about ISIS in the MSM is mostly horseshit - another Straussian lie for the masses, courtesy of the evil fuck neocons.
"Baghdad’s Green Zone isn’t just the epicenter of America’s forces in Iraq — it’s also a lovely place to spend a vacation."
From 'The Tourist’s Guide to Baghdad’s Green Zone (Updated)'.
this is all the 90 year plan.. creation of a kurd state, shite state, sunni state. the other benefit.. is this fake "caliphate" will bump against israhell.. so they can fight new enemies.. and create their planned "greater israel".. ordo ab chaos...
Naturally Gold & Oil down LOL
Remeber those Yazidis?
"Food dropped by U.S. warplanes landed between their sanctuary and the Islamic State positions and could not be reached. For three days, they did not eat."
That worked out well.

Does this mean the USA has bombed too much or not enough?
Yes
Another elected government toppled by the US...

This increasing descent of Iraq into dystopia ever since the 2003 GWB Crusade began reminds me of a dictum : Self fulfilling prophecy.
Just to contextualize : After the NWO began, Wolfowitz prophesied; as did Huntington in his opus Clash of Civilizations; that America's future enemies would not be Nation States but "Rogue States" or "non legal" entities.
So... First they had created Talibanism to fight Soviet incursion into Afghan, then they encouraged Wahhabism--or Salafism (think Al Qaeda ideology)-- to fight the Iraq Iran war with Saddam as ally, as paid spear carrier for the Sunnis againt "evil" shiite Ayatollah Iran. Then they invaded Iraq to take out Saddam, now declared renegade and "terrorist", then they set up a Shiite Maliki led puppet government in Iraq, then they repeated in Libya the Iraq/Saddam caper with Q-daffy's evisceration, and finally, they have succeeded in destroying Syria by trying to take out Assad.
How can the leading lights of Pax Americana all through these years of fake NATION STATE building which has been proven as more nation-state destruction as summarised above, now lament about a "terrorist" enclave in Gaza and a jihadist enclave in Syria and Iraq? Aka, perfect examples of those very ROGUE states that Wolfowitz said would be the enemy due to forces beyond America's control.
When you create that very enemy, by your very own acts over thirty years, that is called acting out, in perverted logic, a self fulfilling prophecy.
Well played neo-con America !
The real reason is elsewhere for this nation destruction : OIL !
That's why the Kurdish enclave is so vital to US interests.
PS : To further recontextualize over a longer period; the warmongering that Pax Americana unleashed on three small South East Asian countries; Nam, Cambodia and Laos; to further the compassionate ideology of Uncle Sam, then later re-enacted in Operation Condor Latin America, now finds is logical sequel in Near Asia before being disseminated into Far Asia--think South China Sea.
Clash of Civilization is some self fulfilling credo !
Breaking News!
Maliki run over by Stewart at NASCAR race!
I think he is going to have a M113 "moment" like our ole pal Deim in VietNam.
The famous "one way ride".
Ngo Dinh Diem-ish US-arranged deposal or assassination of Maliki in 3...2...1... AND/OR, as mentioned by the dear general in the video, a sign of impending full-scale civil war within Iraq. Mission Accomplished (tm).:

U.S. Relocates 'Limited Number' of Staff in Iraq
http://online.wsj.com/articles/u-s-relocates-limited-number-of-staff-in-...
The MIC almost can't believe it, yet another army to supply in Iraq.
Buy the way, anyone seen reports of the ex Iraqi US military gear being used in Syria by ISIS?
don't mistake my comment for promoting genocide ...but.....
what's stopping the american, european governments from cutting a deal with russia and china to kill EVERYONE in the middle east and take all their oil.
between syria, iraq , saudi arabia, and ALL the gulf states but NOT yemen lebanon and jordan (they have not very much oil) --------------there's 100 million people.
what's to stop the u.s. russia, all of europe and china ( and india why not) from agreeing to kill everyone and just split their oil entirely?
100 million fewer people to buy the cheap oil. 100 million fewer people to slow down the oil in wars.
i think maybe one day the superpowers will commit a genocide for oil that will put world war 2 to shame. that's how scary this is.
while we are deposing "democratically elected leaders" , can we depose Obama next ?
