Gateway Pundit on Anbar Awakening

Here is an awesome post from Gateway Pundit. It demonstrates how the Democrats are in denial about an Anbar Awakening that foreign insurgents (al Qaeda in particular) are crazy psycho radical that are evil and mean to do evil to those who disagree with them: Christians, Jews, other religions, Atheists and even fellow Mohammedans.

Gateway Pundit leads his post with a propaganda video that implies support against insurgency. I wish I could read Arabic to be certain; nonetheless the visuals are very effective: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AIjGchpYGM.

Dhimmicrats have said we are losing so much the American people are beginning to believe it. Read Al-Anbar Awakening: How Muslims Confronted the Hirabah.

Proof Iran is Sending Aid and Soldiers to Iraq

The capture of Iran Revolutionary Guards and Iranian officials in Iraq confirm financial and military aid is being funneled to (at the very least Shi’ite) insurgents bent on disrupting the success of a unified Iraqi government and the death of American soldiers.

According to the Washington Times, even Left Wing Europeans are admitting Iranian involvement in Iranian culpability in the death of American soldiers. Yet American Liberals like Senator Biden warn of a “Constitutional Crisis” if America sends troops across the Iranian border to disrupt or defeat the Iranian rogue terrorism. What a lunatic!

Liberals holler for proof after not being able to locate WMD in Saddam’s Iraq. And here we are: the proof is there! Corresponding Left Wing admissions of the hard proof exists.

At the very least America should be doing mass bombing of military installations in Iran to cost that nation some military resources as an act of war. Iran’s national interest is to keep Iraq from any kind of unification of Iraq. I am certain the Twelver Shi’ite Ayatollahs remember Saddam’s war that cost Iran plenty of blood in that stalemate of a war. Iran is making a major bid for regional hegemony; a fractured Iraq will go a long way to perpetuate hegemony.

Iraq: It could be all about the Sunni

There is a Council on Foreign Relations report attempting to present the view point of the minority Sunni Mohammedans in Iraq. The report offers less in solution realm and more in the problem realm. Analysts disagree on what the Sunnis perceive in Iraq, thus the report does a good job of portraying those disagreements.

The one thing that the analysts do agree on is that the Sunnis feel threatened by the majority Shi’ites in Iraq. There are multiple Sunni insurgent terrorist organizations that are in fighting about how to deal with the Shi’ites. The public Sunni goal is to rid Iraq of Americans in hope of taking done the Shi’ite dominated government. Privately many Sunni leaders are hoping Americans stay longer out of fear of Shi’ites unleashing wide scale vengeance for Sunni collaboration with Hussein’s brutality and Shi’ite genocide.

There are other scenarios as well. The Brits favor getting Syria and Iran involved in negotiations to temper the Iraq situation even though the American government perceives Syria and Iran as the major problem of destabilization in Iraq.

There is talk of a three autonomous region Iraq. There is talk of America gradually leaving to allow Sunni nations to replace America’s presence to counter Iranian Shi’ite involvement in Iraq: and on and on.

It is extremely complicated in Iraq because of the butchery of Hussein on Kurds and Shi’ites and the Sunnis enjoying a half a century of dominance. There are a lot of gaping wounds in Iraq. If Iraq was a human being it would die on the surgery table or be committed to a mental institution.

From America’s stand point a bi-partisan report is about to be released on Iraq suggestions. The report was headed by former Secretary of State James A. Baker III. Baker has had a reputation of being a pro-Arab conservative. The anonymous sources that have been secreting details of the report before its official release suggest some of the very same options already discussed.

“…Washington is abuzz with anonymously sourced reports about its contents. Proposed solutions (CSMonitor) reportedly range from convening a regional roundtable of Iraq’s neighbors to enacting a phased redeployment of U.S. forces to stepping up the training of Iraqi security forces. Whatever its recommendations, experts expect a major shift in U.S. policy on Iraq in the coming year. President Bush, briefed by members of the bipartisan commission, informed reporters he looked forward to “their interesting ideas,” but added that “the best military options depend upon the conditions on the ground,” which suggests he would not make major troop redeployments without the Pentagon’s assent.

The report may be controversial among Republicans. Senator McCain has hinted that he may oppose the conclusions. McCain feels the solution in Iraq lay with an increased military presence.

It will be interesting how the Baker Iraq Study Group report plays out.
