Warning: Authorized to kill

This arti­cle was writ­ten today by Tony Sag­beni

In this arti­cle Sag­beni argues that US mil­i­tary and army is not bet­ter deal­ing with Iraqis than Black water, the acts of Both armies are a mir­ror of the US for­eign policy.

In Sep­tem­ber, news agen­cies reported that the Amer­i­can army patrol in Iraq fired on a car that was parked on the road­side because it was sus­pi­cious, an Iraqi father and his two sons were killed, and then left the corpses inside the car and fol­lowed the nor­mal course.

This, of course, one of many daily killings car­ried out by the Amer­i­can army, as well as the mer­ce­nar­ies since the inva­sion of Iraq until today.

News media at the same month, told us about the expul­sion of the police­man Charles Jones of North Car­olina, after the emer­gence of video show­ing “ill-treatment” of a police dog, also an Amer­i­can court in Dal­las impris­oned Deshawn Brown four years for killing his dog.

Para­dox indeed that the dog that left to bite the detainees in Abu Ghraib has more rights the detainees them­selves!
Why the occu­pier tries its own cit­i­zens for “ill-treatment of ani­mals” and don’t try its sol­diers for com­mit­ting mas­sacres against the peo­ple of Pales­tine, Iraq and Lebanon?

The issue is very sim­ple, the occu­pier rela­tion­ship with its cit­i­zens is the rela­tion­ship between state and nation­als, and con­cern to defend them, but our rela­tion­ship is the rela­tion­ship between «force autho­rized to kill and we are all poten­tial targets!

The phrase men­tioned here “Autho­rized to kill” is not a title of a movie, or an anti-war slo­gan, but is writ­ten on back of the Amer­i­can mil­i­tary vehi­cles patrolling the Iraqi streets of in the ini­tial period after the inva­sion, when the Amer­i­can Gov­er­nor of Iraq Paul Bre­mer issued a law allow­ing Amer­i­can sol­diers to open fire on Iraqi cit­i­zens in case of sus­pi­cion of being a threat to the mil­i­tary, and in the Amer­i­can logic, every Iraqi is suspect.

But the phrase did not sur­vive too long before diplo­matic efforts from Wash­ing­ton, to plastic-surgery its crimes, they change it to: “Stay away 100 meters from the vehicle”.

But in fact the two phrases are the same; If the first phrase means “We are ready to kill you” (for your favor of course), the sec­ond phrase means:

You are also pro­hib­ited from doing any­thing about it and you can’t even approach us even to talk.

Away from the Amer­i­can patrols and the Iraqi roads, the two phrases offer a sim­ple sci­en­tific expla­na­tion for United States for­eign policy.

The smart thing about this pol­icy is sym­bol­i­cally remov­ing the phrase pro­voke the Iraqi cit­i­zen, and replace it with words do not bear a direct threat to him; this is Washington’s pol­icy of decep­tion and con­ceal­ment of the real objectives.

Had the Amer­i­can diplo­matic back plates, the phrase will be:

Be care­ful: Forces are empow­ered to extend influ­ence and theft of the region nat­ural resources”.

and it be replaced with:

want to give you free­dom and democracy!”
