1000 rebel arrests in Iraqi town

Saturday 17th May, 2008

More than a thousand arrests have been made in an Iraqi city, after an offensive by the army.

The army has been in and around the northern city of Mosul for a week, cleaning up the stronghold of many Sunni rebel groups.

Commander Riyadh Jalal Tawfiq says many Sunni rebels, belonging to al-Qaeda factions, have fled to the city in recent months, which until now had been left alone by Iraqi and American troops.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has been closely involved in the operation and has offered an amnesty to those fighters who hand in their weapons.

the poor 1000

as they say (of the 1000) ..“poor bastards”..never for a moment since 5 years ago have they left the Iraqis alone/to lead a normal life or what’s left of it..again . who really are to gain from all this turmoil ? I wish to venture a guess..
1) the present regime installed as said by many by the US interest groups..they have to show some semblance of “success” to perpetuate their stay in power and hold on to the “grants” from US..ya..just like the Junta in Myanmar..exactly !!
2) the various tribal groups who have " an axe to grind " against each other ( originated from time immemorial ) during this disorderly and opportunistic time..
3) the various media companies who have sensational pictures to show on the tubes in the West..at least more horrific than those of the men in Austria keeping women/children as their sex slaves for decades !!..afterall such things are becoming common in the immoral
West..
4) the war mongers in the Westand their Zionists who gleefully enjoy seeing the Muslims get mutilated /slaughtered now and then and simultaneously get the feel that such atrocities enhance their security . but with their advanced technology that they could even detect a needle in a hay stack from miles up in the sky and even in the darkest of night..why could’nt they zero into Al Qaedah and apprehend them like they could capture Saddam so easily ?.. have the americans been cast a spell that Al Qaedah is so invisible to tehm ?. can I venture a guess here too ?..
a ) for all we know the top echelon of Al Qaedah has been decimated..long ago !!but it is important that the scare story lives on and it works . and thus it justifies the americans to continue to be in say Iraq and Afghanistan and God knows where in the Muslim world next..
b ) Iraq besides its oil is nearer to Iran which the americans are spoiling for a fight..and a better spring board into Iran than anywhere else surely in any eventuality..
c) the US corporate giants that are churning out the war machines for Iraq and other fronts sre still hungry for more ..and soon next year may be ..one or two of the present presidency staff will retire there as CEOs ?..well one of them was there once ?..
d) the ME in the eyes of the US will never be strong and cohesive to bother them.. so who cares about overstaying in Iraq and let the Latinos who sneaked into US recently and have been conscripted into US army ostensibly for assured citizenship / jobs get their “final solution” in Iraq naturally..and with that note..gudnite!

I Wish Iraqi people good fortune in establishing their own freedom.. The poor fools that believe al-Qaeda are only help kill their own brothers.. What is the sense in that?

Is there anything else in the middle east but dictators calling themselves elected officials? IS it a far guess that at this time Middle eastern Muslims are to primitive to understand anything but tribal rule, Kingdoms, sheikdoms, or dictatorships?


2) the various tribal groups who have " an axe to grind " against each other ( originated from time immemorial ) during this disorderly and opportunistic time..

Muslims are after all well Muslims! They live and think much like people did a thousand years ago.




3) the various media companies who have sensational pictures to show on the tubes in the West..at least more horrific than those of the men in Austria keeping women/children as their sex slaves for decades !!..afterall such things are becoming common in the immoral

Yes because we all know that only people in the west have sex slaves, slaves, multipule wives, beat our women, make them wear tents in public, honor killings, oh wait hmm gues it’s not just the west doing horrid things. In fact some pretty evil crap happens to non-Muslim women in Muslim lands.




4) the war mongers in the Westand their Zionists who gleefully enjoy seeing the Muslims get mutilated /slaughtered now and then and simultaneously get the feel that such atrocities enhance their security



Yes because Muslims are not at war in 15 different countries with basically every other religion! Such peace loving murdering filthy maggots these Muslims! How is it the evil zionist can manage to live in peace with everyone but the muslims?
How is it that Muslims can’t live in peace with anyone not even fellow Muslims?




. but with their advanced technology that they could even detect a needle in a hay stack from miles up in the sky and even in the darkest of night..why could’nt they zero into Al Qaedah and apprehend them like they could capture Saddam so easily ?.. have the americans been cast a spell that Al Qaedah is so invisible to tehm ?. can I venture a guess here too ?..

Obviously you are not aware that everyone looks much the same and picking out one body from the mass of inhumanity using any technology is difficult.




a ) for all we know the top echelon of Al Qaedah has been decimated..long ago !!but it is important that the scare story lives on and it works . and thus it justifies the americans to continue to be in say Iraq and Afghanistan and God knows where in the Muslim world next..

Anywhere with recources! The goal is of course to lower the 1.1 billion to around zero.


b ) Iraq besides its oil is nearer to Iran which the americans are spoiling for a fight..and a better spring board into Iran than anywhere else surely in any eventuality..


Looks like Iran wants to play as well so what’s your point.
Iran is full of apostates anyways.



c) the US corporate giants that are churning out the war machines for Iraq and other fronts sre still hungry for more ..and soon next year may be ..one or two of the present presidency staff will retire there as CEOs ?..well one of them was there once ?..
d) the ME in the eyes of the US will never be strong and cohesive to bother them.. so who cares about overstaying in Iraq and let the Latinos who sneaked into US recently and have been conscripted into US army ostensibly for assured citizenship / jobs get their “final solution” in Iraq naturally..and with that note..gudnite!



The mussings and ramblings of ignorance mixed with some rather obvious truths and odious incoherant nonsense.
So much fun matching hateful rhetoric with a little bit of truth giving the above poster a good dose of malaise.
