Where are the investigations results?

Posted on March 22, 2006 by Sappho

We often hear about inves­ti­ga­tions run by probes on US crimes in Iraq, where are the fol­low ups and out comes of these investigations?

Or this is just a game.

As the Manal Omar of this arti­cle My Iraqi Wed­ding asks

How we in the inter­na­tional com­mu­nity could have got­ten this so very wrong?

Later she answers her question:

The count­less inter­na­tional inter­ven­tions — from neigh­bor­ing coun­tries to the coali­tion forces –desta­bi­lized Iraq at a time when its peo­ple needed sup­port from the world.

I say:

No sis­ter, they are doing this on pur­pose, they are not stu­pid and this is part of the plan, US sol­diers are not only watch­ing this sec­tar­ian vio­lence, they are par­tic­i­pat­ing to strength it.

    Top Iraq PM aide slams US mosque raid:

    A top aide to Iraqi Prime Min­is­ter Ibrahim al-Jaafari con­demned a US raid on a Shi’ite mosque in Bagh­dad which killed up to 20 peo­ple as a “pol­icy of aggression”.

    “I demand a full inves­ti­ga­tion of this crime,” Jawad al-Maliki, a mem­ber of Sadr’s Dawa party, told Shi’ite-dominated state television.

    Shi’ite offi­cials, who came to power in elec­tions after a US-led inva­sion top­pled Sad­dam Hussein’s Sunni-dominated gov­ern­ment in 2003, rarely crit­i­cise the United States.

    Maliki’s remarks came a day after US ambas­sador Zal­may Khalilzad called on the Shi’ite-dominated gov­ern­ment to crack down on mili­tias, say­ing they are killing more Iraqis than insurgents.

    Saddam’s No. 2 Seeks Help for Insur­gency:

    Sad­dam Hussein’s chief deputy, who has eluded cap­ture since the U.S.-led inva­sion of Iraq three years ago, pur­port­edly called for Arab lead­ers to back Iraq’s Sunni-backed insur­gency, in an audio­tape broad­cast Monday.

    The tape, which Al-Jazeera tele­vi­sion said was made by Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, appeared to be an address to the Arab League sum­mit in Khar­toum, Sudan, this week.

    The voice on the tape said Iraq’s Sunni-led insur­gency was “the sole legit­i­mate rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the Iraqi peo­ple.” It was impos­si­ble to deter­mine the tape’s authenticity.

    Al-Douri was sixth on the U.S. deck of cards that enu­mer­ated the most-wanted mem­bers of Saddam’s regime. He had been Rev­o­lu­tion­ary Com­mand Coun­cil vice chair­man and a long­time Sad­dam confidant.

    The voice also said Arab lead­ers should “boy­cott the regime of mer­ce­nar­ies and trea­son and besiege it by tak­ing the nec­es­sary deci­sion to sup­port the peo­ple of Iraq, its coura­geous, national resis­tance and its jihad until liberation.”

    The tape also sought to dis­tance the insur­gency from attacks on civil­ians and reli­gious tar­gets, call­ing them “the pin­na­cle of low­li­ness, vile­ness and crim­i­nal­ity. Our peo­ple and your resis­tance will take revenge from the cul­prits sooner or later.”

    Al-Douri, who is at least 62, was among Saddam’s old­est and clos­est associates.
