  8. U.S. Intel Sparks Iraqi Shift on Militia Monday, January 22, 2007 4:52 AM EST The Associated Press By STEVEN R. HURST Listen to Audio BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — Iraq's prime minister has dropped his protection of an anti-American cleric's Shiite militia after U.S. intelligence convinced him the group was infiltrated by death squads, two officials said Sunday. On Monday the military said two U.S. Marines were killed in separate attacks in Anbar province. The Marines assigned to the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit died Sunday of wounds sustained due to enemy action in the insurgent stronghold west of Baghdad, the military said in a statement. The names of the Marines were not released pending notification of relatives. The deaths came a day after 25 U.S. troops were killed on Saturday, the deadliest day in two years for the U.S. military in Iraq. Meanwhile, in a desperate bid to fend off an all-out American offensive, the radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr last Friday ordered the 30 lawmakers and six Cabinet ministers under his control to end their nearly two-month boycott of the government. They were back at their jobs Sunday. Al-Sadr had already ordered his militia fighters not to display their weapons. They have not, however, ceded control of the formerly mixed neighborhoods they have captured, killing Sunnis or forcing them to abandon their homes and businesses. Saturday's U.S. death toll climbed significantly to 25 after the military reported Sunday that six more troops had died in the deadliest day in two years for American forces. The latest military reports said four soldiers and a Marine had died during combat Saturday in Anbar province and one soldier was killed in a roadside bombing northeast of Baghdad. Nineteen of the deaths were reported Saturday, 12 in a Black Hawk helicopter crash, five in an attack on a security meeting in the Shiite holy city of Karbala and two others in roadside bomb attacks elsewhere. It was the third-highest daily toll for U.S. forces since the war began in March 2003. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's turnaround on the Mahdi Army was puzzling because as late as Oct. 31, he had intervened to end a U.S. blockade of Sadr City, the northeast Shiite enclave in Baghdad that is headquarters to the militia. It is held responsible for much of the sectarian bloodshed that has turned the capital into a battle zone over the past year. Shiite militias began taking revenge after more than two years of incessant bomb and shooting attacks by Sunni insurgents. Sometime between then and Nov. 30, when the prime minister met President Bush, al-Maliki was convinced of the truth of American intelligence reports which contended, among other things, that his protection of al-Sadr's militia was isolating him in the Arab world and among moderates at home, the two government officials said. "Al-Maliki realized he couldn't keep defending the Mahdi Army because of the information and evidence that the armed group was taking part in the killings, displacing people and violating the state's sovereignty," said one official. Both he and a second government official who confirmed the account refused to be identified by name because the information was confidential. Both officials are intimately aware of the prime minister's thinking. "The Americans don't act on rumors but on accurate intelligence. There are many intelligence agencies acting on the ground, and they know what's going on," said the second official, confirming the Americans had given al-Maliki overwhelming evidence about the Mahdi Army's deep involvement in the sectarian slaughter. Earlier this month, Bush and al-Maliki separately announced a new security drive to clamp off the sectarian violence that has riven the capital and surrounding regions. Bush announced an additional 21,500 American soldiers would be sent to accomplish the task and al-Maliki has promised a similar number of forces, who will take the lead in the overall operation. Iraq's Special Forces Command division has already teamed with the Americans since late last year for a series of pinpoint attacks in which at least five top Mahdi Army figures have been killed or captured. The neighborhood-by-neighborhood sweep, expected to begin in earnest by the first of the month, will target Sunni insurgents, al-Qaida in Iraq and its allied militant bands equally with Shiite militias, both the Mahdi Army and the Badr Brigade. The latter is the Iranian-trained military wing of Iraq's most power Shiite political group, the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq. The first government official said al-Maliki's message was blunt. "He told the sheik that the activities of both the Sadrist politicians and the militia have inflamed hatred among neighboring Sunni Arab states that have been complaining bitterly to the Americans," the official said. Sunni Muslims are the majority sect in key Arab countries like Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt, all of which have shunned al-Maliki. Shiites, long oppressed by Iraqi's Sunni minority, and vaulted to power with the ouster of Saddam Hussein. Many of the leading Shiite figures in Iraq have deep historical ties to Iran, also a majority Shiite state, whose growing muscle in the Middle East is deeply threatening to the autocratic Sunni regimes in the region. As the Saturday death toll among American troops was mounting, the military reported five soldiers had been killed in an attack on a security meeting in provincial government building in Karbala, south of the capital. Thousands of pilgrims have arrived in the holy city to mark Ashoura, the festival at the start of the Islamic new year that marks the death of Imam Hussein, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad and one of the most-revered Shiite saints. Iraqi officials said on Sunday that the gunmen who attacked the meeting wore military uniforms and arrived in black sport utility vehicles commonly used by foreign dignitaries — an apparent attempt to impersonate American forces. The local governor, Akeel al-Khazaali, was not at the security meeting but said security officials told him the SUVs were able to get through a checkpoint on the outskirts of the city, 50 miles south of Baghdad, because local police assumed the vehicles were a diplomatic or official convoy and informed headquarters that it was coming. "The group used percussion bombs and broke into the building, killed five Americans and kidnapped two others," the governor said. Iraqi troops later found one of the SUVs with the three dead bodies dressed in military uniforms, he said. Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, a U.S. military spokesman, denied any Americans were kidnapped and said all "were accounted for after the action." A security official in Karbala, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to disclose the information, also said the gunmen who carried out the attack on the Provincial Joint Coordination Center were using SUVs similar to ones used by the U.S. authorities. The official said the convoy of gunmen fled into neighboring Babil province. The Babil police commander confirmed that the suspects entered the region before disappearing. Saturday's deaths of the 25 U.S. troops was eclipsed only by the one-day toll 37 U.S. fatalities on Jan. 26, 2005, and 28 on the third day of the U.S. invasion. Across Iraq on Sunday, police and morgue officials reported 46 people were killed or found dead, 29 of them bodies, most showing signs of torture, were found in Baghdad.

  21. CAN EVENTS OF THE PAST FORETELL WORLD WAR III? Until after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the armed forces of the United States and other countries expended considerable time and resources preparing for a Third World War. Perhaps because so many nations maintained a high degree of readiness, this type of warfare never happened, although numerous, smaller conflicts -- for which there was little preparation and training -- did occur. At present, increasing attention is being devoted to these small-scale operations, while "Armageddon" no longer seems to have the priority it did when so many people worried that the Cold War might turn hot. When complacency sets in is when the danger is typically the greatest; if we now think World War III is unlikely, that may be an indication it is just around the corner, but how can we tell? If there is any truth to the old adage that history repeats itself, it might be possible to look to the past for predictors of the future. Since the advent of the atomic bomb, many individuals have wondered when a third global conflict would occur. Perhaps the past can answer that question, if we examine the patterns shown by certain historical events wherein American combat forces have been employed. Specifically, intriguing parallels can be seen when comparing the Civil War with the Vietnam War, and the Spanish-American War with Operation Desert Storm, that might actually foretell World War III. THE CIVIL WAR (1861-1865) Deeply-held convictions divided the populace, often to the extent of pitting family members against one another. There was a widespread draft, which spawned numerous protests and riots by many of the individuals who were subject to conscription. There was a concurrent, widespread, civil rights movement involving the black race. A president with a 7-letter last name was assassinated, and succeeded in office by a vice-president named Johnson. Armored riverboats called "monitors" were employed by the U.S. Navy in massive riverine operations. Manually-operated "assault rifles" (the lever-action, 16-shot Henry rifle) were used by the U.S. Army. Hand-cranked Gatling guns were first used in combat by the U.S. Army. The Civil War is still a controversial topic. THE VIETNAM WAR (1961-1973) Deeply-held convictions divided the populace, often to the extent of pitting family members against one another. There was a widespread draft, which spawned numerous protests and riots by many of the individuals who were subject to conscription. There was a concurrent civil rights movement involving the black race. A president with a 7-letter last name was assassinated, and succeeded by a vice-president named Johnson. Armored riverboats called "monitors" were employed by the U.S. Navy in massive riverine operations. Gas-operated assault rifles (the selective-fire, 20-shot M16A1 rifle) were used by the U.S. Army. Electrically-powered Gatling guns were first used in combat by the U.S. Army. The Vietnam War is still a controversial topic. THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR (1898) The first combat employment of all-steel battleships by the U.S. Navy. Called "the splendid little war" because of its short duration and minimal U.S. battle casualties. Waged against a country that had a seemingly formidable military force. After the cessation of hostilities, a warning voiced by many in the U.S. armed forces, to "not congratulate ourselves too much for defeating what was in actuality a third-rate power -- such thinking can prove dangerous for us in the future." The conflict was heralded as having healed the wounds of the Civil War. The entire nation was excited and happy with the victory, and made heroes of the returning veterans. Teddy Roosevelt -- who was Assistant Secretary of the Navy prior to the war -- became the Republican candidate for vice-president in the election of 1900. OPERATION DESERT STORM (1991) The last combat employment of all-steel battleships by the U.S. Navy. The ground phase of Desert Storm was called "the 100-hour war" because of its short duration; U.S. battle casualties were minimal. Waged against a country that had a seemingly formidable military force. After the cessation of hostilities, a warning voiced by many in the U.S. armed forces, to "not congratulate ourselves too much for defeating what was in actuality a third-rate power -- such thinking can prove dangerous for us in the future." The conflict was heralded as having healed the wounds of the Vietnam War. The entire nation was excited and happy with the victory, and made heroes of the returning veterans. Dick Cheney -- who was Secretary of Defense prior to (and during) the operation -- became the Republican candidate for vice-president in the election of 2000. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The amazing similarities within each pair of conflicts may represent nothing more than an incredible degree of coincidence. However, what if the relationship between the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and the onset of World War I points the way to a similar relationship between the Vietnam War, Operation Desert Storm, and the advent of a Third World War? It's clear there is not a one-to-one correlation for the elapsed time between the wars in each group, so it's not reasonable to think that World War III will happen 19 years (the amount of time after the Spanish-American War that the U.S. entered WWI) after Desert Storm. Perhaps a proportional comparison of the elapsed time between conflict start dates in each time line? That would require setting up a ratio of the spreads between 1861, 1898, and 1917, and those of 1961, 1991, and the unknown, WWIII. Subtracting 1861 from 1898 gives 37, and 1898 from 1917 is 19. This means that the elapsed time between the Spanish-American War and U.S. entry into World War I is roughly half of the time span between the beginning of the War Between The States and that of "the splendid little war." Since there are thirty years between the time President Kennedy vowed to support South Vietnam against Communist aggression, and the initiation of Desert Storm, adding half of thirty to 1991 puts the start of World War III in the year 2006. Is the foregoing no more than an astounding chain of coincidences, or does it indeed provide signposts on the path to the future? The readers will have to reach their own conclusions, of course, but the results of the national election in November, 2000 provide more evidence to support the theory. As in 1900, the Republicans were victorious at the polls, so that Dick Cheney -- like Teddy Roosevelt a century earlier -- is now vice-president, thereby further repeating the historical pattern. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE "ZERO-YEAR" EFFECT Although it does not necessarily affect the prediction of World War III, it is interesting to note another unique -- indeed, almost unbelievable -- grouping of coincidental events in American history. It is a fact that of the ten individuals who were elected (or reelected) to the presidency in a year ending in zero -- from 1800 to 1980 -- seven died in office, and an eighth nearly died from the bullet of a would be assassin. A listing of these presidents, and their "zero-year" election dates follows: 1800 Thomas Jefferson Completed his term 1820 James Monroe Completed his term 1840 William Harrison Died of natural causes 1860 Abraham Lincoln Assassinated 1880 James Garfield Assassinated 1900 William McKinley Assassinated 1920 Warren Harding Died of natural causes 1940 Franklin Roosevelt Died of natural causes 1960 John Kennedy Assassinated 1980 Ronald Reagan Severely wounded, but completed his term In stark contrast, only two of the 26 men elected as president in other than a "zero-year" -- James Polk and Zachary Taylor -- failed to survive their term in office. Clearly, this does not bode well for George W. Bush, who was elected in 2000, although it raises the possibility of there being yet one more set of historical parallels between Dick Cheney and Teddy Roosevelt -- the latter succeeded to the presidency after McKinley was assassinated a century ago...Quote I found this on another site and I thought it might make for good reading/discussion
