The Occupiers are Recoiling: in horror
I would venture to state, unequivocally, that the following three atrocities, among others that were exposed by sheer luck, have been perpetrated by the American occupying forces themselves in a 'Phoenix' like onslaught that reflects their dismal failure in containing the Iraqi Resistance, and a concerted effort to instigate sectarian strife among the Iraqi people:
"A car bomb explosion in an outdoor market packed with shoppers has killed 23 people and wounded more than 60 in a Shia town south of Baghdad.
.... There was no claim of responsibility for the attack, the third major vehicle bombing in a predominantly Shia area of Iraq within the past five days (emphasis added). Fifty people had been killed since Saturday in car bombings in Basra and a Shia village in central Diyala province. Those attacks have fueled fears of more sectarian tension between Shia and Sunni Arabs."
Car bomb kills many in Iraqi market November 3, 2005
They are scratching a solid core.
Awaiting a 'revealing' book by a disgruntled CIA operative, several years hence, on these massacres. Retribution also awaits.
PS:
How apt!! Almost 1,000 Days After U.S. Invasion of Iraq, Democratic Senators Call in Secret Session for Investigation of Pre-War Intelligence. (you might like to see this previous post).
Well, maybe the wheels of the US imperial justice do start to finally turn: after +150,000 (out of 26 million) Iraqi dead, +2000 (out of 140,000) US dead, +100 (out of 5000) UK dead and + 500 (out of 25,000) Foreign mercenaries dead.
But ... the outcome, if any, of the above "session" is still not certain!
It took two years for them to find out that Scooter Libby had indeed lied about revealing one CIA operative, to spite her husband, which is ashamedly trivial to the war crimes that are being committed against the hundreds of thousands of dead, tortured and imprisoned Iraqi people.
Are we waiting for another couple of years for the US congress to end the criminal
occupation of Iraq and to publicly indict Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, etc...??
Update: "The Republican majority in the House of Representatives rejected a resolution calling for a "substantive" investigation into "the manipulation of pre-war intelligence", the role of Vice President Dick Cheney' into Iraq's reconstruction, the leaking of the name of a CIA' agent and abuses against prisoners at Abu Ghraib' prison...Republicans in the House defeated the measure by 220 votes to 191." US Republicans rebuff resolution demanding Iraq inquiry November 3, 2005
I doubt that it will be that long, and not by them.
Ditto, the Iraqi Resistance.

The point of your above posting is finally slowly sinking in the minds of many.
However, I don't suppose they (the Americans) have stopped to consider what undoubtedly will happen, when their CIA-sponsored plots to turn Iraqi against Iraqi actually succeed, have they?
Like, how about, "the U.S. army of occupation caught in the middle of a civil war between the Shia, the Sunni and the Kurds, being shot at by all sides"? The most simple issue would be, "who do they support". No matter what they do, they have two of the nation's three most powerful ethnic groups opposed to them. And... uhh... what happens if the side they support, loses the war?
But then again, this would be perfectly on par with their (non)-plans for "what do we do once we have occupied Iraq", wouldn't it?
As Indiana Jones said, "don't ask me, I'm making this up as I go". Except, it's not a movie.
…"But Sorley offers some fascinating evidence that Abrams's strategy of securing South Vietnam village by village was working better than is generally understood. He quotes William Colby, who ran the pacification effort (including its controversial "Phoenix" counterinsurgency program), assessing its success: "By 1972, the pacification program had essentially eliminated the guerrilla problem in most of the country."…
…"The U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Zalmay Khalilzad, appears to be enthusiastic about this counterinsurgency approach. U.S. commanders are working with Sunni tribal leaders in Anbar province to create a force known as the "Desert Protectors," as well as a new Sunni-led army division there. Khalilzad has brought from his previous post in Afghanistan a plan for provincial reconstruction teams that could combine military, economic, legal and other tools to provide jobs, social welfare and eventually stability. That plan is eerily reminiscent of some of Colby's ideas about pacification."…
…"The new focus on counterinsurgency is good, but that doesn't mean it will work. The Vietnam analogy is instructive and also haunting. At the end of the day, the challenge is for Iraqis to build a government that works and an army that can stand and fight. Otherwise, "clear and hold" will run into the same brick wall it did a generation ago."
