HOW THE US IS ARMING BOTH SIDES
OF THE IRAQI CONFLICT
INTRODUCTION by
Hugo Adan
So it would be like this:
“The US is arming and training the same Al Qaeda/ISIS groups of Jihadists who are using those weapons in their fight against the Iraq President Maliki. Possible reason: Maliki attendance to Russian meeting. The US usual excuse: inefficiently or incapacity to serve the empire: “the Iraq army has so far proven utterly incapable of any resistance”. The US is now using drones to support the fight of their "rebels": the same terrorist mercenaries provided by Saudis, Qatar and other Suni-regimes with whom the US was collaborating with until a month or so ago in Syria.
If this is the case, then the strategy is clear: to repost the Suni minority in Iraq to advance later on over Syria and Iran. That would explain why Iran took the initiative of deploying forces in favor of Makiki in Iraq. This initiative has nothing to do with the US strategy. The US is still supporting the Saudis-Qatar and Israel strategy to destroy Iran. It might be because of the presue of such allies that the US decided to put down the Maliki regime.
Then the last two paragraphs make sense;
The clear winner here? The US military-industrial complex, of course, as well as the banks who lend money to the governments to fight wars provoked by various "developed nation" spy agencies.
Collateral damage? Millions of innocent people on the ground in Syria and Iraq, and everywhere else too.

HOW THE US IS ARMING BOTH SIDES
OF THE IRAQI CONFLICT
Recall a week ago we wrote "US Begins Delivering F-16s To Iraq This Week, A Decade After
It Wiped Out Iraq's Air Force" in which we said:
... the US will deliver the first of 36
F-16 fighter jets to Iraq in what Baghdad's envoy to the United States called a
"new chapter" in his country's ability to defend its vast borders
with Iran and other neighbors.
....the US earlier in March provided Iraq
with some 100 Hellfire missiles as well as assault rifles and other ammunition.
Then in April the US sent more arms, providing Iraq with 11 million rounds of
ammunition and other supplies.
It is unknown how
many of these have fallen into Al Qaeda/ISIS hands (we do know that at least
one Iraqi Black Hawk chopper was captured during the rush for Mosul). What is
known is that as PBS Frontline reported two weeks ago, while the administration
has denied arming Syrian "rebels", i.e. the same ISIS militants that
have crossed the border and are now fighting in Iraq...
... the reality is
that it has. From: "Obama Says Not Arming Syrian Rebels, Syrian Rebels Say He Is"
... the Syrian rebels themselves say they
are already armed and trained by US in the use of sophisticated weapons and
fighting techniques, including, one rebel said, "how to finish off
soldiers still alive after an ambush." The interviews are the
latest evidence that after more than three years of warfare, the United States
has stepped up the provision of lethal aid to the rebels, as PBS notes "it
appears the Obama administration is allowing select groups of rebels to receive
US-made anti-tank missiles."
The commander of the unit also told Ali that their
American contacts had asked him to bring 80 to 90 members of his unit to Ankara
for training.
One of the fighters said they received
three weeks of training in how to conduct ambushes, conduct raids and use their
weapons. They also said they received new uniforms and boots.
“They trained us to ambush regime or enemy vehicles
and cut off the road,” said the fighter, who is identified only as “Hussein.”
“They also trained us on how to attack a vehicle, raid it, retrieve information
or weapons and munitions, and how to finish off soldiers still alive after an
ambush.”
To summarize: the US was arming and training the same Al Qaeda/ISIS groups of Jihadists, that it concurrently gave Iraq weapons to fight. And since the Iraq army has so far proven utterly incapable of any resistance, it is now up to US drones to "fight" the same "rebels" that the US itself was collaborating with until a month or so ago.
The clear winner here? The US military-industrial complex, of course, as well as the banks who lend money to the governments to fight wars provoked by various "developed nation" spy agencies.
Collateral damage? Millions of innocent people on the ground in Syria and Iraq, and everywhere else too.
