Part Two

Iraq is in the process of breaking up into three autonomous or independent entities: Shiite Muslim in the south %u2013 under Tehran%u2019s aegis; Sunni Arab in the center and west, backed and massively funded by Riyadh; and a Kurdish entity in the north, under US patronage and a magnet for heavy American, Turkish, Israeli and, more recently, Iranian investment.

According to our military sources in Iraq, the objectives of the current US military effort go beyond securing central government in Baghdad and stemming sectarian hostilities; the troops are engaged in an all-out drive to prevent the rise of a fourth entity ruled by al-Qaeda in the western Anbar province.

If and when that battle is won, the next will be fought over control of Iraq%u2019s oil wealth. The distribution of oil revenues will have to be built into any live-and-let-live accommodations among the autonomous entities; to work, any such an arrangement must be guaranteed by US, Shiite, Kurdish and Sunni military forces.

All of the items mentioned in these articles are slowly coming to a reality or a coincidence?

I seem to recall posting this news mths ago about this deal and the "plan" to leave Iraq.
Here it is once again.

US Vice President *** Cheney arrived in Riyadh Sat. May 12, with a full caseload for his talks with Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz . He is seeking coordination with the Saudis in good time for the approaching winding-down of US military forces in Iraq. Cheney will also clinch the Bush administration%u2019s offer to double the Saudi air force in size, boosting its capability for contending with Iranian air might and the Revolutionary Guards%u2019 naval and marine strength.


Sources in Washington, the Gulf and Baghdad report that Cheney is bringing the news to the Middle East rulers that Washington will make its decision in the second half of August and an evacuation will begin shortly thereafter.
These talks led to a decision to make the Saudi air force the biggest in the Middle East, on a par with Israel%u2019s air might, by an infusion of sophisticated aircraft equipped with the most advanced avionics, electronic warfare instruments and missiles.

In a war contingency, the boosted Saudi air force will undertake the key function of immobilizing the antiquated Iranian air force, preventing it from posing a threat to the Gulf or providing air cover for sabotage squads or marines seeking to attack oil installations, disrupt oil tanker passage through the Gulf or seize territory in Gulf emirates.

donbl1,,, In the end, when all the smoke clears -- Arab & Iraqi Sunni's,, Iran & Iraqi Shiites & Kurds will all unite with forces yet to come to defeat the occupation ---- That they have all stated just that.

[j-whitman]

donbl1,,, I doesn't matter,,
, we don't have enough troops to secure Baghdad, hold it & fight both Iraq Sunni's & Al Queda -
- Iraq police & military is 2 years away from being even close to capable & that's optimistic -
- Reconstruction has failed -
- Bush is arming Sunni's to take over Iraq's sovereignly elected government.

IT'S ALL OVER A LONG TIME AGO --- JUST WAITING FOR THE FAT LADY TO SING

Since the terrorists have already been here and they have tried to get back in, it is a given they will come back.

By the way, read the article on MSNBC on Petreus' arguments with Al-Maliki. Good stuff. Petreus might be the right guy for the job.

donbl1 --- Gorbachev also said yesterday,, "Bush is destableising the World",, So has many world leaders said the same.

[j-whitman]

donbl1,,,,, The war isn't about our freedoms or thier's -- They are not going to "follow us home" -- They aren't intrested in our version of liberty or democracy & it's certainly not about Islam ----- It's for control of the region & the resources ----- Everyone in the region understands that basic fact.

He simply does NOT know how to fight any Terrorist.

umm- we just ship them tons of munitions and weaponry..... send them our jobs and tax $$$'s and pay off their neighbors for the inconvenience???



- The Bush administration is preparing a package of arms sales to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states that could be worth some $20 billion over the next 10 years, a senior U.S. defense official said on Saturday.

The United States has sought to allay Israeli concerns about the forthcoming package. The senior U.S. defense official said Washington was working on a military assistance deal for Israel expected to top $30 billion during the next decade, a significant increase on current levels.

The Saudi package would upgrade the country's missile defenses and air force and increase its naval capabilities, the official said. It "may make sense" also to provide Saudi Arabia with satellite-guided munitions, the official said.
