US planting car bombs in Iraq
Evidence is continuing to mount that the US are behind many of the car bombs that are increasingly claiming lives in Baghdad and the surrounding areas.
These car bombs are never suicide bombs - and strangely suicide bombing is the main MO of the alleged 'Zarqawi' group and other Islamist resistance cells. So there seem to be two differing phenomena at work: traditional jihadi martyr operations and an unknown group solely utilising remotely detonated car bombs. Let's look at this second grouping's activities: Report from Global Research Quote:

IMHO, it's highly unlikely that rank and file US troops are in on this, and I don't know anything about the credibility of your sources, good or bad. But assuming the stories are correct, I honestly wouldn't put it past the Admin to pull off something like that. Compared to 9/11 it would be small potatoes.
IF it is happening, it would most likely involve CIA or other 'spook' types posing as US military.... ![]() |

That really makes no sense. Why would the US want to make things worse than they already are?

Not just car bombs, but weapons of mass destruction as well. This was to be expected, but the plan to plant WMDs in Iraq, so they could be uncovered later on and therefore "justify" the Bush war policy was bungled. I'm half surprised that it wasn't attempted again. Maybe it was because the source and age etc. of chemical and biological weapons can be easily traced and determined....and if any samples got into the hands of independent (ie non government allied analysts), this could have spelled huge problems for both the military and the administration.

The US military is never going to leave Iraq, while we have an administration dominated by the neocons. Already, 4 permanent bases have been built, and there are more to follow. Perhaps the 'false flag' attacks are to give the illusion that the insurgency is more powerful than it really is, and retain the 'justification' for retaining the military presence. Impossible scenario :If peace suddenly 'broke out' all over Iraq, the Iraqis started to successfully get into self government, thereby rendering the troops' presence as redundant, the American public would not be partial to keeping them there at astronomical public expense. That is the very last thing the neocons want...namely the widespread perception that the US presence over there is surplus to requirements.

It seemed like this thread was missing one critical component:
I was going to throw in some 'shrooms but the thought of a group of conspiracy theorists at the 3 a.m. "reminiscent stage" seemed creepy.

I think that the DNC has more to gain from this kind of alleged activity that the Bush admin. Of course I jest, but can anyone explain why the admin would do this, and do you not read these things that are oozing off of your fingertips?

Right, it couldn't possibly be the 'Zarqawi' group and other Islamist resistance cells/traditional jihadi martyr operations suddenly realizing how fucking stupid suicide operations are and deciding to utilize remotely detonated car bombs when possible.
![]() But, that said, I've also no doubt the U.S. government/military/neocons/BushCo would do that either. It's in their interest to keep the various wars and terror going. More attacks on our troops just translates into increased funding and more and more so-called moral authority to do whatever we want, wherever, and to whomever, like, oh, Israel does. Or Russia.

The US has realised that is impossible to win in Iraq and the insurgents cannot be defeated - withdrawal is not an option for Bush and the Strausscons on their own ideological grounds so a solution needs to be found. And fast - there is a very small window (ie before July August) to start selling the Iran attack to the sheep - as it is now with the Iraq instabiliy they won't buy it, nor will the military. So, that's point one: increased attacks reinforce the image of the 'demon Muslim' who must be opposed and plant this meme for the resistance in Iran which will surely take the same form. This is minor though. The primary aim of these US attacks is to undermine Iraq to such an extent (nearly there but not quite yet) that a previously unacceptable solution becomes acceptable. That solution is this: dividing the country into three mini-states based on ethnicity and religion - thus making the country governable which it is not, and cannot be, under the present circumstances. It is far easier to manage 3 sub-states. So the aim is to foment civil was between the Kurds/Shi'i/Sunni and 'annex' them in 3 separate 'States' when the carnage is so bad a solution is demanded. These states will effectively ghettoise these ethnic groups and isolate the insurgents as well as preventing these groups from joining forces when the Iran strike comes or before. As I said above - the backdrop and over-riding aim is the attack on Iran which WILL happen and is even now being planned. A quick look at the four massive military bases currently being constructed (as opposed to using existing ones as they used Abu Ghraib rather than build new) will show the strategic significance of these base's positions. Basically the plan is Iran and Syria - always has been. The Iraq insurgents held this plan up and the Strausscons can't let that happen. This is their solution. They will try others of course and it may be they are even 'dummy runs' and one day soon we will see a massive car-bomb against a highly sensitive target causing immense casualties - an event that will be 'irrevocably and demonstrably proved to be the work of Iran'.

And even if what you say is true, so what? You really don't consider Iran and Syria a threat to the US or any country for that matter? Edit: I wanted to make clear that I think you are insane. When I said "so what", I meant so what to the plan to take on Iran and Syria, not that the US is behind killing of it's own personnel, which is beyond ridiculous. That whole premise is just... well ludicrous. You have nothing to back up assertions like that. Last edited by NaplesX; 05-28-2005 at 04:28 PM.. |

But life is full of these kinds of choices - Do we let Iran or Syria develop or acquire means to wipe out 100' of thousands or even millions of innocent lives. Innocent people are going to die, and you are going to blame the US no matter what. History frowns on those that don't act to stop the aggression of tyrants and despots. France to name one will be remembered for such inaction that you seem to suggest. You would be the first to blame the US for not stopping some huge attack. The US is damned if they do and damned if they don't. |

You contend that the US did not follow the suggestions of the international community (the UN), therefor what it is doing in Iraq/ME is unjustified. At the very same time the international community (the UN) has condemned the aggressive stance of Iran and Syria. Yet you reply to my comment as if Iran's/Syria's aggression is somehow justified. Why not hold Syria and Iran the same standards that you profess to hold the US? Pick a stance. Oh wait. you have - The US is always wrong. |

When Iraq got Fubar the plan had to be abandoned or radically changed. The argument is that it got changed to escalating the chaos (possibly to implicate Iran at some point - certainly in the last few days nonsensical 'info' is leaking out that Zarqawi has fled there and is being shielded by the Iranians which fits right in) with the aim of posting an emergency solution (the three Statelets) which will then bring order of a sort (or at least be more manageable) and then it's hey-ho let's kill some Iranians which was the aim all along. Iraq was just phase one.

It is abundantly clear that the US uses the media to villanize countries in the eyes of the American public in advance of an attack (they do so slightly less successfully with the international media, as internationally, anything the US says is now taken with a grain of salt due to the Iraq disaster). The villainization of Iran and Syria had been under way, especially in 2004, in such a way that it points to a US intent to attack those countries without UN approval. This has for the most part died down in 2005 because of all of the problems with Iraq and the US realization that they no longer have the resources and enough public trust to launch any action.

Addressing your point - the media in my native land is a sycophantic propaganda tool of Blair who is himself a mere toady of the US and has no discernible independent thought processes. That's why I left actually, well - one of the reasons - and in my current country of residence it is quite possible to pick up a newspaper from a news-stand and read objective facts. you have to get the right one of course - some are as under the cosh as those in the US/UK. I was reading an interesting article only the other day about a death chamber being constructed at Gitmo. Interesting stuff. Anyway, just read this and I thought of you as the person who might be able to answer this man's question. Here it is: Quote:

And another thing.
Do you suppose Tariq Aziz, in his comfy room at the Hilton Baghdad International Aiport has broadband? He must be visiting moveon.org or some other left-wing blogger. You see, he just issued a couple of letters from there with some fairly exasperated exclamations, such as: Quote:

Your and his question tie into another question - why do people tolerate terrorism? Whatever the answer to that question, it is why security in Iraq cannot be maintained. It has more to do with the indigenous population that with the US military. "All that is necessary for the forces of evil to triumph is for enough good men to do nothing." Much like the decades before this war and now in Iraq among it's population. |
