U.S. Forces To 'Liberate' Baghdad Again

This is beautiful, just beautiful!

The US wants Abdul-Mahdi in because he will privatize oil which is greatly beneficial to American investors and to American enterprise, certainly to oil companies.

The US wants Jaafari out because he can’t keep the peace even though the US has been arming certain factions in an attempt to undermine the very peace they want Jaafari to keep. #msg-5461656

After Jaafari is ousted and the US installs their puppet government the US is going all out to make sure the peace is kept in Baghdad and their puppet puke looks good.

U.S. Forces To 'Liberate' Baghdad Again

BAGHDAD, April 16, 2006 (UPI) -- A plan to sweep through Baghdad, taking out insurgents and leaving behind aid teams, is being readied for the new Iraqi government, a report says.

U.S. military officials have organized a strategic plan dubbed "the second liberation of Baghdad" by a Pentagon adviser.

It is being seen as one that will end violence and restore order to the capital that has sank into lawlessness since the U.S.-led occupation.

Iraqi leaders are still bickering over the formation of the new government and the Baghdad sweep will be carried out once that is over, the Sunday Times of London reports.

Led by Iraqi forces but supported by U.S. ground and air troops, insurgents would be pinpointed and taken out one neighborhood at a time.

When the military leaves, forces to improve healthcare, schools, garbage collection and the water and energy grid would remain.

U.S. officials sent a message this week to Iraq's senior religious cleric asking that he help end the impasse over forming a new Iraqi government and strongly implying that the prime minister, Ibrahim al-Jafaari, should withdraw his candidacy for re-election, according to American officials.

But widespread objections to al-Jaafari surfaced immediately from some, who charge that the Iranian-backed leader has been ineffective and divisive during the interim period.

The Sunni Arab minority blames al-Jaafari for failing to control Shiite militiamen who went on a rampage after the destruction of the Shiite Askariya shrine. Kurds are angry because they believe al-Jaafari is holding up the resolution of their claims to control of the oil-rich city of Kirkuk.

"What we want to see is the rule of law with the government in control and governing in Iraq," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "It's tough when the government has not been stood up."

Violence has increased since the Feb. 22 bombing of an important Shiite mosque in Samarra, which unleashed a spate of reprisal attacks by Shiite militia forces against Sunni Arabs.

Even the new IRAQi forces, hailed by the Bush administration as the key to an eventual American troop withdrawal, seem as likely to provoke a civil war as to prevent one
To head off this threat of a Shi'ite clergy-driven religious movement, the US has, according to Asia Times Online investigations, resolved to ARM small militias backed by US troops and entrenched in the population to "nip the evil in the bud".

Asia Times Online has learned that in a highly clandestine operation, the US has procured Pakistan-manufactured weapons, including rifles, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, ammunition, rockets and other light weaponry. Consignments have been loaded in bulk onto US military cargo aircraft at Chaklala airbase in the past few weeks. The aircraft arrived from and departed for IRAQ.

The US-ARMed and supported militias in the south will comprise former members of the Ba'ath Party, which has already split into three FACTIONS, only one of which is pro-Saddam Hussein. They would be expected to receive assistance from pro-US interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi's IRAQi National Accord.
