Latest Iraqi Army "Victory" - NOT
President's Note: The recent fight with the cult near Najaf has been portrayed by the trained liars as a great feat of arms for the Iraqi Army. The truth, as reported by our unimpeachable source, is starkly different, and does not augur well for the "Iraqization" of the war. s/f, Rog Charles
The "decimation" by Iraqi forces is propaganda. The Iraqi authorities did not attack the cult earlier because it was affiliated with Muqtada al Sadr. The attack was orchestrated by American forces after receiving intel that the cult was going to take over the shiite shrine Najaf. Most of the Iraqi soldiers in the attack ran away or refused to fight after they received heavy fire from the compound. It was only when American forces arrived from MNC-B and when US air strikes devastated the compound that the Iraqi's claimed success. We are claiming this victory for the Iraqis, because of the politics involved, but had it not been for US forces, the Iraqis would have failed miserably. My buddies in Iraq said the "new" strategy is for Americans to lead the attacks, not the Iraqis. This way we can claim the success for the Iraqi's, much like the way "social promotion" is used in American public schools. The Iraqi's receive the credit, even if they cannot do the job. A buddy told me the Iraqis have a new slogan "Let The Americans Do It." Last year US forces would make the Iraqis lead the way; now American forces lead the way with some Iraqi's in tow to make it look like an Iraqi operation. Iraqi Army and Police Units will deliberately arrive late so Americans will kick off the operation without them and after the Americans have won, the Iraqi's will show up at the very end and claim their Iraqi victory.
The "new strategy" is nothing more than Americans doing the job for them and giving them the credit.
