IRAQ : Iraqis on the hunt for security contractors

Iraqis on the hunt for security contractors

June 16, 2007

We start today with a news quote:

According to Victoria Wayne, who served at the Reconstruction Logistics Directorate of the Corps of Engineers in Iraq, the military wanted to hide information showing that private guards were fighting and dying in large numbers because it would be perceived as bad news, the paper said.

"Wanted to hide information ..."

Is that new to any of us Iraqi patriots? For years, in the Arab World and elsewhere the rumor has been that scores of US soldiers are killed every month; the figures cited by the Pentagon have been far lower than reality holds.

Iraqis, true patriotic Iraqis who support the resistance, have always said matter-of-factly that more US soldiers are killed than is let on.

And so now we hear that there has been an active effort to suppress information regarding casualty figures.

And, I need to add, the private security contractors are ALL military men — either former US military, or Brit or South African mercenaries and so on.

The majority of the more than 100 security companies operate outside of Iraqi law, The Post said.

If they operate outside Iraqi law, than they should be shown no quarter. They should be hunted down.

US private security companies are getting increasingly involved in military action in Iraq, fighting insurgents, enduring attacks and taking hundreds of casualties that have been sometimes concealed, The Washington Post reported Saturday.

I wonder how many thousands of Iraqi women and children these men have raped and butchered. Now the Lancet numbers become clearer, do they not?

The picture is becoming abundantly clearer in Iraq. The reason why Iraqis hate the occupation and the occupier is seen with increased clarity as more of these reports surface.

We have seen the videos of these mercenaries shooting at civilian cars. We have heard (and seen the aftermath) of the butchery of the US military.

Iraqis are spared no quarter and so they should hunt down and rid our land of this scourge. And the Iraqis who work with them ... France June/July 1944.

Do any of you remember Abeer? Where is her justice 18 months later? Where is the justice for her mother, father and sibling?

Iraqis, your lives are expendable whether you live in Iraq or beyond its borders, in foreign capitals or across the oceans. Learn that wisdom. There is no justice save in your own hands.

Don’t sell your conscience for a few greenbacks to foreign powers.

MEANWHILE, I found this paragraph from David Ignatius’ latest offering rather amusing:

The simple, low-tech answer to the IED threat is to reduce the number of targets — by getting our troops off the streets during vulnerable daylight hours, to the extent possible. It’s an interesting fact that very few IED attacks have been suffered by our elite Special Forces units, which attack al-Qaeda cells and Shiite death squads mostly at night, with devastating force. They blow in from nowhere and are gone minutes later, before the enemy can start shooting. That’s the kind of asymmetry that evens the balance in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Hahahaha ... that’s the kind of asymmetry known as chicken run. Gosh, ol Dave is acknowledging that the US military cannot and should not take on Iraqi fighters in the daylight. More like vampires at night.

Make sure to put out the garlic, bibi.

NEW BLOG: Just added Layla Anwar Arab Woman Blues to my list of Iraqi patriots, her latest posting was riveting and made me very, very angry.
