What if we want the civil war. Then we will have an excuse to break Iraq into pieces. We can tell Turkey, Iran and Syria we had no choice but to establish independent states. A civil war by Washington’s thinking might get the U.S. off the hook with Iraq’s neighbors who are vehemently against a dismemberment of Iraq. Just speculation and one scenario.
The omnipotent Council On Foreign Relations has recommended restructuring Iraq into six states. #msg-6403472
Note: 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.
