While the Pentagon is still trying to secure the legal cover to ensure that their troops will be above the law, Secretary of State John Kerry is assuring Iraq that US intervention in their country will be “intense and sustained.”
Kerry, who met with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki today, said he also pressed him on the question of forming a new “inclusive” government with Sunni Arabs and Kurds sharing power.
Kerry insisted Maliki had committed to begin the process of forming a new government by July 1, though it seems unlikely that any government led by Maliki will even be possible at this point, let alone a consensus one.
While Kerry downplayed that during his visit, the US last week was pressing Maliki to resign in favor of another Shi’ite ruler, with many indications that old friend-to-the-occupation Ahmed Chalabi might be among the US-favored choices.
Kerry’s pledged intervention did not include any specifics, beyond the 300 “military advisers” already pledged by President Obama last week.
So, permanent bombing runs by B-52 shuttling in from Diego Garcia? DU, chemical weapons, area bombing, the whole enchilada?
If USG wants to help Iraqi people they should start bombing these Qatari, Kuwaiti barbarians and Saudi savages yesterday. USG knows the political and social problems that Maliki government faces, they also know who is behind all present atrocities and who started the today's Iraq ethnic problem, what Kerry is trying to do is benefit of all this. This has been the Barack Hussein Obama politics, a manipulative ideas where for Israel is a apartheid regime one day and next day the very same Kerry apologies to a proven apartheid Israel. Mean while Joe Biden son given a job in Ukraine making sure that Ukraine gas company is under the control of IMF, this is how us Democratic Party functions, this is how the entities of vulture capitalism function.
Shock and Awe II. Same needless killing, same widespread destruction, and all new profits for bankers and war corporations. Coming soon to Iraq, Syria, and other theatres in the Middle East.
No, no this is shock and awe III. Shock and Awe II was the attack on Iraq in 2003, Shock and Awe I was September 11, 2001. All three will have been done by the same people.
Yeah, they have to restart the creation of millions of Iraqis who hate us for destroying their country since we haven't been able to do it since the retreat…I mean pullout.
But our bank accounts are already on empty, and the Fed is already printing up all kinds of money under the guise of "quantitative easing" to help pay for the last ten years of war over there. Now, they want to go for more? Who's going to pay for this next round of bombs, bombs, and bombs? ( not to even mention all that human slaughter on our conscience.) How much more quantitative easing are we going to have to take?
we obviously don't have a conscience anymore…
John Kerry is grotesque. The U.S. war Lusticons ought to be listed on Wall Street as Laughing stock.
One very quick and conceptual note to SecState Mr. Fix It, "bullsh*t!"
So Mr Kerry, how are you going to ask men to die for this mistake?
I don't guess you are even going to go ask the people who's food stamps you cut off and who's unemployment benefits you cut about how they are going to suffer for this mistake?
Ours is not to reason why, ours is just to die for increased ketchup profits.
Things are going bad for israel in Syria and despite acting as Al-CIAeda´s and ISIS´s air force whenever they are about to get extinct by a victorious SAA, lastest such raid yesterday, nothing can stop their inevitable demise except, – maybe sending in the Americans!
A few training bomb runs in Iraq and then on to Syria to provide, not stop, air support to the ISIS while Russia is occupied with the US Nazi clients in Ukraine, or so they think. Libya all over again! CNN, Ahmanpour & Co ready when staues are being pulled and bombs of freedom and nuclear waste rains over a devastated country, Schlomo & Schlomo happy as ever what could possibly go wrong?
My seething hatred of these despicable lying warmongers is intense and sustained!!!
Something has happened in Russia yuesterday. Premier Putin has asked the High Chamber of the Russian Parliament to void its earlier given approval to invade Ukraine and that Chamber has voted to rescind the approval. So, the Russian government is following the demands of our constitution?
I don't get it. Why do they think getting rid of Maliki will make any difference when the problem is the US reignited war between Shia Iran and Wahhabi Arabia?
How come our Secretary of State talks and acts like a Secretary of War?
The madness of this. Working with Iran to support a dictatorial Shia government against Wahabi rebels in Iraq, while working with those same rebels to overthrow the democratically elected government of Syria. And working with other rebels and sanctions to overthrow Iran. Is there any method or motive to this other than to destroy everything that might get in the way of the oil? It's about the evilest thing I can remember.
Yes the U.S. has intervened in so many places so often it finds itself at war with itself. In Syria the U.S. supports the Sunni against Shia. In Iraq they are trying to block the Sunni and come to the aid of the Shia who are being confronted by Sunni weapons acquired next door in Syria.
