The fate of the American Empire

.
The Americans are not listening (thanks to the ear deafening background noise of the mainstream media):

"The US government is on a “burning platform” of unsustainable policies and practices with fiscal deficits, chronic healthcare underfunding, immigration and overseas military commitments threatening a crisis if action is not taken soon, the country’s top government inspector has warned.
David Walker, comptroller general of the US, issued the unusually downbeat assessment of his country’s future in a report that lays out what he called “chilling long-term simulations”.

Another sand story

.
"On Thursday, a suicide bomber dressed in a police uniform attacked a meeting of U.S.-backed tribal sheiks in Karmah, killing more than 20, including three U.S. Marines and the mayor.
One of the Americans killed was Lt. Col. Max A. Galeai of Pago Pago, American Samoa, the commander of Marines in the Karmah area.

The attack happened two days before U.S. officials planned to formally hand over security responsibility for Anbar to the Iraqis, marking a major milestone in the transformation of a province that had been the most violent in Iraq.
U.S. authorities announced Friday they were postponing the handover ceremony because of weather forecasts calling for high winds and sandstorms, which would ground aircraft and make it impossible for dignitaries to attend."

The "suicide bomber dressed in a police uniform" was in fact a sleeper member of Karma's 'Sahwa' brigade who thus managed to attend the meeting unhindered and get close to the Marine commander of the Karma area.

The trip from Baghdad is one hour by car. The need for the Iraqi 'dignitaries' to arrive there only by air transport (in sandless weather) is a measure of the surge's effect on the 'increased security' situation. (30,000 troops heading to Iraq in 2009 June 27, 2008).

The below article (in Arabic) refers to the order to arrest Abu Abid who commands 1000 Sahwa members and was the first Sahwa commander in Baghdad's Amariya last year. He claims that the Sahwa brigades are now targeted for elimination by the Americans and the government after fulfilling their role in chasing the Qaida out from their areas. It is also reported that many Sahwa members are now switching over and joining the patriotic resistance forces who are accepting them in their ranks.

In the meantime, the occupiers are now enlisting women police to frisk women suicide bombers ($300 for 2-3 days of work in a month) and participate in raids on Iraqi homes.

History repeating itself

.
From my friend Jonathan Schwarz:

"Imad

You may have seen that Iraqis are comparing the US-Iraqi "agreement" now under negotiation to the Anglo-Iraqi Treaty of 1930.

And if you read that earlier agreement, you'll see they're clearly right to do so -- the treaty is uncannily close to what Bush has been pushing for. I guess there are only so many ways to set up colonial fiefdoms.
Interestingly, before now the actual treaty text existed in only one place online -- a pdf in an obscure corner of the UN website. I had to ask Glen Rangwala to track it down."
The Anglo-Iraqi Treaty of 1930 by Jonathan Schwarz on June 22, 2008
.
Extracts:

"His Majesty the King of 'Iraq...authorises His Britannic Majesty to maintain forces upon 'Iraq territory at the above localities in accordance with the provisions of the Annexure of this Treaty on the understanding that the presence of those forces shall not constitute in any manner an occupation and will in no way prejudice the sovereign rights of 'Iraq. (Article 5)"

"The aid of His Majesty the King of 'Iraq in the event of war or the imminent menace of war will consist in furnishing to His Britannic Majesty on 'Iraq territory all facilities and assistance in his power including the use of railways, rivers, ports, aerodromes and means of communication. (Article 4)"

"The strength of the forces maintained in 'Iraq by His Britannic Majesty...shall be determined by His Britannic Majesty from time to time after consultation with His Majesty the King of 'Iraq...His Majesty the King of 'Iraq will grant to His Britannic Majesty for the duration of the Alliance leases of the necessary sites for the accommodation of the forces of His Britannic Majesty in those localities. (Annexure 1)"

"[T]he immunities and privileges in jurisdictional and fiscal matters, including freedom from taxation, enjoyed by the British forces in 'Iraq will continue to extend to the forces referred to in Clause 1 above and to such of His Britannic Majesty's forces of all arms as may be in 'Iraq in pursuance of the present Treaty... (Annexure 2)"
