Basra

I'm not sure if I'd updated on this terrible story here, but the mother of the poor girl who'd been murdered by her father for a friendship she may have had with a British soldier has been murdered as well. The Augean Stables has much more about this, but while reading it, I began to wonder: since the British army was largely in charge of the Basra area, does that suggest that they may be

British General Sir Richard Dannatt sent an open letter to his troops in which he defended the miltary strategy employed in handling the Basra area. There is considerable unrest among British soldiers who now are confined to the Basra airport even as fighting rages inside Basra. “I can not deny that there are [...]

After recent claims of vacuuming (and in an ironically funny way - because they truly SUCK), the Basra battle may have indeed been the IRRGC's attempt to snag an oil rich (shia) provincial capital, landlock Iraq in a sea of Shia pockets and begin regional realization RE: the infamous crescent from Persia to the Med.Basra has always been a fave of the Mullahs. Iran had besieged Basra for nearly 6 years during the horrible Iran Iraq war with nothing to show for it but metric tonnes of martyrs. 100's of K's of casualities and failed assaults (many times using kids ducktaped together armed with plastic keys to the gates of Paradise) against fixed machine gun and blister agent kill zones.

Why al-Maliki attacked Basra | Salon The campaign was a predictable fiasco, another in a long line of strategic failures for the sickly and divided Iraqi government, which survives largely because it is propped up by the United States. So why did al-Maliki do it? With no obvious immediate crisis in Basra that called for such desperate measures, what could have motivated the decision to attack?I consider this article an interesting follow up on my statement about Basra yesterday. I think it's important to recognize the motivations behind Maliki's actions. Americans want to believe that, because the action was supported by the US and the UK, Maliki must have been doing something good for the country. Don't be fooled. Bush supported Maliki because Maliki supports Bush. Al-Sadr supports

~Snooper~As the news media, the once "main stream" and now since dubbed Lame Stream by me, and the Leftinistra anti-Americanist "progressive" (read that socialist) bloggers claim victory for Al Sadr, we find that Al Sadr got his arse kicked. Well, he didn't get "his" arse kicked but his rag-tag Iranian trained militia did. It is reported that 210 KIA, 600 wounded and 155 captured in 5 days of fighting is a serious arse kicking in anyone's book. 60 of those killed were bad-arse criminals. I hope they are enjoying their 72 virgin gay Rotweillers. Mooki is safe and sound someplace in Iran...go figure but, there is no Iranian input into the "conflict". (If you believe that you are an idiot.)Naturally, these viral libtard newsies will ignore such gallantry as this. More then likely, they

Foreign Policy dug up this article about foreign policy by John McCain from 1996 and made it accessible online for free. Surprisingly, over a decade later, many of the points are still relevant.

In the 'why didn't we kill him earlier' department:BASRA, Iraq, March 25 (Reuters) - Iraqi security forces battled the Mehdi Army militia in Basra on Tuesday in a drive to win control of the southern oil city, but violence and unrest spread to Baghdad and other cities.Police and health workers said at least 12 people were killed in the fighting in districts of central and northern Basra where Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's Mehdi Army has a strong presence.In a statement read out by a senior aide on Tuesday, Sadr called on Iraqis to stage sit-ins all over Iraq and said he would declare a "civil revolt" if attacks by U.S. and Iraqi security forces continued. He also threatened a "third step", but said it was too early to announce what it would be.ReutersThe sorry unwashed lout that runs th

US Wants Britain to Lead 'Surge' in Southern Iraq Middle East Online LONDON - The US plans to urge Britain to launch a "surge" in Basra to combat increasing insurgency in the southern Iraqi region, the Sunday Mirror newspaper reported. Britain, which has around 4,100 troops in Iraq, transferred control to Iraqi forces in December last year but it could now be asked to step up its role again amid top-level concern about the situation, the paper said.

British troops have left one of the two remaining bases in second largest Iraq city, Basra. This withdrawal is a part of the larger plan that calls for gradual scaling down of the UK presence in the south of the country. In the coming period, the last base in the city will be handed over to the Iraqi police and army.Although the predominantly Shiite southern part of Iraq is seen as more safe and stable, two provincial governors were killed in the last month. It's believed that they died as a result of a much larger power struggle between different Shiite groups.Read more about the withdrawal in the BBC article.

Iran seizes 15 British Navy personnelBASRA, Iraq (Reuters) - Iranian forces seized 15 British Royal Navy personnel who had searched a merchant ship on Friday, Britain said, triggering a diplomatic crisis at a time of heightened tensions over Tehran's nuclear ambitions. Britain said the incident took place in Iraqi waters, where it routinely searches merchant vessels with UN permission.In London, Foreign Office Permanent Undersecretary Sir Peter Ricketts summoned Iranian ambassador Rasoul Movahedian. A spokesman said: "The meeting was brisk but cordial. Sir Peter demanded the safe return of our personnel and equipment."The incident took place a day after Iran launched a week of naval war games along its coast, including the narrow northern reaches of the Gulf which control access to the vast oil reserves of Iraq, Iran and Kuwait.

Blair Bush Basra and AfghanistanOne has to wonder if Tony Blair and George Bush are still the best of buddies. At a time when the United States is committing additional troops to Iraq Britain is in the process of standing down.Until now Blair has shown unwavering support for George Bush and his invasion and occupation of Iraq. The Prime Minister's recent announcement that British forces in Basra would be reduced by several thousand at a time when Bush has ordered an additional 21,500 troops into Baghdad certainly came at an inconvenient time for the America President.Of course, the White House and the British government put the maximum positive spin on the reduction of troops announcement, citing improvement in the Basra security situation that would allow additional powers and responsibilities to be turned over to the Iraqi Army and police.Oh really?A report by the Pentagon only last November deemed that Basra was in an even worse state than Baghdad. The report submitted by the US mi
