PESHMERGA KICKING ASS:
Iraq: Kurdish Peshmerga move beyond Kirkuk city
Kurdistan Regional Government prepares for humanitarian crisis as Iraqi citizens flee in the face of ISIS advance
Erbil, Asharq Al-Awsat—Kurdish Peshmerga forces remained in complete control of Kirkuk on Friday, with local media reporting that Kurdish forces are moving beyond the city to contain Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) fighters.
In comments to Asharq Al-Awsat, Ministry of Peshmerga Affairs spokesman Halgurd Hikmet confirmed that Peshmerga forces have seized a number of Iraqi military bases in the oil-rich province. Peshmerga forces have also been deployed on the outskirts of the city of Kirkuk to fill the security vacuum left by fleeing Iraqi soldiers.
The Kurdistan Region Government (KRG) views Kirkuk as a historic part of Kurdistan, and the province has long been a source of contention between Erbil and Baghdad.
Peshmerga Ministry Secretary-General Lt. Gen. Jabbar Yawar issued a statement on Thursday evening in which he confirmed that Kurdish forces have moved beyond the city of Kirkuk. “Peshmerga are now present in Gwer and the areas surrounding the city of Kirkuk, including Tuz Khurmato and areas close to Hawija and Dibs.”
ISIS seized control of the cities of Jalula and Sadiyah, in the province of Diyala, overnight amid fears that the militant organization is seeking to march on the capital, Baghdad. But local media on Friday also reported that Peshmerga forces were present in Jalula, to the south of Kirkuk.
Iraq’s Alsumaria TV reported on Friday that a Peshmerga unit had been deployed to Jalula to help Iraqi security forces deal with the ISIS presence, with other Iraqi media also reporting that Peshmerga forces had clashed with ISIS fighters in the city.
In addition to providing military assistance to Baghdad, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has also sought to provide humanitarian assistance to Iraqis caught up in the crisis.
Yawar said the Kurdistan Region remains open to Iraqis fleeing the violence, adding that “the Peshmerga will help them in every way they can. In the meantime, security measures taken by Peshmerga forces will not cause conflict or disruption for citizens living in these areas.
“The KRG is currently a safe haven for approximately 250,000 Syrian refugees, as well as hundreds of thousands of internally-displaced people fleeing the violence in Mosul and elsewhere. We are doing our best to cope with this humanitarian emergency.”
On Thursday, Erbil announced the establishment of the Khazir refugee camp near the Kurdish capital to meet the needs of Iraqi civilians fleeing Nineveh province.
The refugee camp can accommodate up to a thousand families, a Kurdish official said, adding that the camp’s capacity is expected to grow as the refugee influx rises.
Speaking to Asharq Al-Awsat, Zarkar Mustafa a senior administrative official in the city of Khabat, 24 miles (40 kilometers) west of Erbil, said: “After large numbers of refugees poured into the region of Kurdistan, the KRG decided to set up camps for refugees from Mosul who cannot afford to live in Erbil.
“We set up this camp in cooperation with UN organizations and other international organizations. If the situation in Mosul continues to worsen, we will make other arrangements in this regard.”
The KRG has installed a makeshift hospital near the refugee camp, with mobile medical teams to provide refugees with medical aid.
Asharq Al-Awsat spoke to Saadiya Habib, who sought refuge in Kirkuk along with her ten-member family. She said: “We left Mosul yesterday. ISIS fighters entered our house and told us to leave immediately.”
Asharq Al-Awsat is the world’s premier pan-Arab daily newspaper, printed simultaneously each day on four continents in 14 cities. Launched in London in 1978, Asharq Al-Awsat has established itself as the decisive publication on pan-Arab and international affairs, offering its readers in-depth analysis and exclusive editorials, as well as the most comprehensive coverage of the entire Arab world.
Bob,
ReplyDeleteDid you pay attention last thread? Did you read what Allen wrote? I trust you understood it (I know, I know, that may be a bridge too far).
Do you now have any doubt that non-Jews, say Palestinians living in Israel, might experience some discrimination? How do you think the Israelis treat non-Jews outside of Israel, in Gaza, or the West Bank say? Given the attitudes expressed by Allen don't you think that all these reports of discrimination might not be exaggerated?
I was unaware that the Palestinians or anyone on this site was Christian. If you are please acknowledge as much. If you are not simple minded Christians, then you have no beef.

There is a long history of discrimination in many countries. Canada for example has tried to change implementing, for example, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Israel, on the other hand, has institutional discrimination (i.e. the housing authority) and wants to extend the State sanctioned discrimination with the Israel must be Jewish push now underway.
DeleteOn top of that you have the occupation of the territories where there are many bad things happening. Israel is very different then Canada. China and Russia, yep, some big time discrimination and chauvinism going on there.

"Iraq’s disaster shows the folly of our meddling
ReplyDeleteMichael Bell
Special to The Globe and Mail
Published Friday, Jun. 13 2014, 7:31 AM EDT
Michael Bell has served as Canada’s ambassador to Jordan, to Egypt and to Israel.
The events of the past several days in Iraq have been traumatic. Reports are confused, and events may be over-dramatized, but the fall to extremists of parts of Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, and Tikrit, the birthplace of Saddam Hussein, seems certain. The ideological and ethno-nationalist commitments of these militants, accompanied by massive desertions from the Iraqi armed forces, are stark indicators of the disaster of American neo-conservative intervention, so confidently asserted by the former Bush administration as a solution to Arab ills. If the lesson is learned, U.S. President Barack Obama will decline to lend air support to a bedraggled government in Baghdad, knowing the struggle is unwinnable.
The American invasion of Iraq revealed the ineptitude of leading from the gut, whether based on imperial interest or neo-conservative belief, and ignoring evidence-driven reality. Despite continuing investment in the Iraqi military, the current fragmentation of Iraqi society and the irreversibility of conflict once the ethnic spectre is fully awoken begs the question of whether there is any alternative to authoritarian rule. Indeed, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is no democrat, although it is difficult, so far at least, to compare his brutality to that of his predecessor. The Prime Minister presides over a fractured state whose boundaries were drawn by the colonial powers during the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. These borders ignored ethnic and discordant belief systems of which Iraq is a prime example.
The result was the emergence of brittle and artificial state entities (Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, in particular) where boundaries had little relationship to identity or community. These sovereign entities were overpowered by sub-state and supra-state loyalties, best illustrated by the Shia-Sunni divide stretching from Tehran to Beirut, where each viewed the other as heretical, and where relationships have long been based on dominance (Shiites most often oppressed), in search of a sustaining identity.
Although the shattering of the state system by popular uprisings in Syria, for example, demonstrated the will of peoples to free themselves from arbitrary rule, they lacked the ability to achieve or sustain what they rightly viewed as freedom, justice and pluralism. It is important to remember that the great majority in Iraq – the dispossessed and intelligentsia alike – welcomed what seemed to be an American presence that would ultimately guarantee their dignity, just as those in Syria anticipated their own efforts would result in the overthrow of the Assad dynasty. All ended in failure, as I believe the Afghan intervention will, no matter how supporters of that enterprise try to justify their involvement through worthy, albeit unsustainable reforms.
What can be done? The current chaos, while mutating, may continue into the foreseeable future with the outside world standing by unable to influence this Manichean struggle between absolutist values. Established states may become a series of homogeneous, medieval-like warring entities. Alternatively, autocrats may be able to reassert themselves, as in Egypt, replacing one regime with one more brutal still. A last, and sadly markedly less likely alternative, would be a gradual adoption of a rules-based system built on pluralism and justice by autocrats themselves as a tool to maintain their own legitimacy.
DeleteThe accepted logic by reformers, both in the West and from the region, is that we remain committed to a progressive order promoting peace, freedom and prosperity, albeit conditioned by Middle Eastern norms. Although often unrecognized, efforts to promote shared values within what we deem less advanced societies can be labelled “cultural imperialism.” This does not invalidate the role of the West and some progress can be made. However, rejectionist attitudes remain a hard core reality, reinforced by the region’s long-standing authoritarian traditions, no matter how uncomfortable we may find them.
If there is any hope for far-reaching transformative change it is with Tunisia. Despite its own repressive heritage, it has a tradition of relative openness to the West, a secular society, a progressive social regime, a solid economy, and a seemingly progressive Islamist-based government. It accordingly merits considerable time and investment from outsiders – a focused, internationally co-ordinated approach might just pay off. This does not negate, for instance, the need to support strategically placed and relatively benign Jordan, but there will be no “new world order” in the Hashemite kingdom.
The challenge for policy-makers is to establish achievable goals, accepting the seemingly unending reality of Arab states beset with autocratic leaderships and riven societies. To articulate and channel political ambitions and create meaningful civil societies in this environment is no easy task. The continuing disaster in Iraq is an example par excellence.

DeleteIraq crisis: Sunni caliphate has been bankrolled by Saudi Arabia
ReplyDeleteBush and Blair said Iraq was a war on Islamic fascism. They lost
From Aleppo in northern Syria almost to the Iraqi-Iranian border, the jihadists of Isis and sundry other groupuscules paid by the Saudi Wahhabis – and by Kuwaiti oligarchs – now rule thousands of square miles.
Apart from Saudi Arabia’s role in this catastrophe, what other stories are to be hidden from us in the coming days and weeks?
The story of Iraq and the story of Syria are the same – politically, militarily and journalistically: two leaders, one Shia, the other Alawite, fighting for the existence of their regimes against the power of a growing Sunni Muslim international army.
While the Americans support the wretched Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and his elected Shia government in Iraq, the same Americans still demand the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad of Syria and his regime, even though both leaders are now brothers-in-arms against the victors of Mosul and Tikrit.
The Croesus-like wealth of Qatar may soon be redirected away from the Muslim rebels of Syria and Iraq to the Assad regime, out of fear and deep hatred for its Sunni brothers in Saudi Arabia (which may invade Qatar if it becomes very angry).
We all know of the “deep concern” of Washington and London at the territorial victories of the Islamists – and the utter destruction of all that America and Britain bled and died for in Iraq.
Remember that the Americans captured and recaptured Mosul to crush the power of Islamist fighters. They fought for Fallujah twice. And both cities have now been lost again to the Islamists. The armies of Bush and Blair have long gone home, declaring victory.
DeleteUnder Obama, Saudi Arabia will continue to be treated as a friendly “moderate” in the Arab world, even though its royal family is founded upon the Wahhabist convictions of the Sunni Islamists in Syria and Iraq – and even though millions of its dollars are arming those same fighters.
Thus does Saudi power both feed the monster in the deserts of Syria and Iraq and cosy up to the Western powers that protect it.
We should also remember that Maliki’s military attempts to retake Mosul are likely to be ferocious and bloody, just as Assad’s battles to retake cities have proved to be.
The refugees fleeing Mosul are more frightened of Shia government revenge than they are of the Sunni jihadists who have captured their city.

UPDATES
ReplyDelete20.43 AFP are also reporting that the ISIS insurgency in Iraq could force Iran and the US to work together. Their take on the unlikely partnership is here:
Shiite Iran offered Saturday to consider working with long-time foe Washington if it takes the lead in helping repel Sunni Arab militants who have seized a swathe of northern Iraq.
The offer came as Iraqi commanders said soldiers had recaptured two towns north of Baghdad, thousands of volunteers answered a call to arms from top Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, and a US carrier group steamed into Gulf waters.
Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki visited the besieged city of Samarra north of the capital Friday to rally troops and pray at the Al-Askari Shiite shrine, a revered site whose 2006 bombing by Al-Qaeda sparked a sectarian conflict that killed tens of thousands.
President Barack Obama said he was "looking at all the options" to halt the offensive that has brought jihadist-led militants within 50 miles (80 kilometres) of Baghdad's city limits, but ruled out any return of US combat troops.
“We will not be sending US troops back into combat in Iraq, but I have asked my national security team to prepare a range of other options that could help support Iraqi security forces,” he said.
UPDATES
ReplyDeleteTELEGRAPH - 19.24: Philip Sherwell, our chief US correspondent has been looking at the USS Bush deployment a bit more:
The USS Bush carries two squadrons of about 48 F18 fighter jets that could conduct air strikes with just a few hours notice. Also on board are patrol helicopters and reconnaissance and surveillance aircraft and planes with electronic warfare capability.
The F18s can each carry about 10,000 pounds of ordnance in a variety of bombs and missiles for air-to-ground and air-to-air operations. “The F18s could be used to conduct immediate strikes,” Dan Goure, vice-president of the Lexington Institute defence think-tank and a Pentagon consultant, tells The Telegraph.
“They would have to fly up from the Gulf over much of Iraq to the north so they could not loiter too long, even with refuelling, but you could them up quickly for strikes as soon as the orders came.”
He said the F18s would operate most effectively with US special forces teams deployed on the ground with targetters calling in strikes on ISIS targets. Pentagon planners believe that ISIS forces are currently extremely vulnerable as they advance in convoys down exposed highways between towns and cities.
BBC Preparing to fight: Richard Galpin in Baghdad
ReplyDeleteA long line of pick-up trucks and cars sped through the streets of central Baghdad on Saturday filled with heavily armed men, a cacophony of blaring horns, sirens and pumping music heralding their arrival.
It was evidence that the call to arms made on Friday by the most senior Shia religious leader Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, was being heeded in the capital as in other cities, particularly in the Shia-dominated south.
The convoy was manned by members of a Shia militia called the Mahdi army. The militia has sprung back to life in recent days, after lying low following its notorious role in the sectarian conflict with the minority Sunni community which came to an end about six years ago.
One cleric, sitting with a driver and bodyguard in an expensive four-by-four, said they were prepared to fight to the death and "splash their blood" to rid Iraq of the ISIS "terrorists".
Other members of the militia said they would help defend Baghdad and head further north to bolster the regular army on the front lines in Diyala and Salahuddin provinces.
Iran’s role: Analysis from Kasra Naji, BBC Persian
ReplyDeletePresident Rouhani reassured Iranians that their young men would not be sent to Iraq - not yet, anyway. It is clear that his government is far from keen on putting boots on the ground in Iraq.
But at the same time, Iraq is a neighbour and a pivotal ally. Iran has been working hard in the past 10 years or so to help put in place a pro-Tehran government in Baghdad. Any threat to the status quo will be a serious blow to these efforts.
There are credible reports that the top commander of Iran's Quds Force, General Qassem Suleimani, is in Baghdad, helping to strengthen the defences of the capital and the northern holy city of Samarra, and organise and co-ordinate Iraqi Shia militia groups which are loyal to Iran.
And a source in the Iraqi province of Diyala, neighbouring Iran, has told the BBC that more than 130 members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard have entered the province with the aim of providing military training and advice. The source - who said the Revolutionary Guards did not plan to get involved in fighting - also said Iran had put two divisions of its forces on alert along the border with Iraq.
President Rouhani said he believed Iraq was capable of defending itself, but added that Iran was willing to co-operate with the US “to combat terrorism”. It will not be surprising if there are contacts between the two sides already, in spite of their decades of animosity.
Netanyahu must be having a major shit fit.

to the bad guys who were backed by Iran.”
Even if the other “bad guys” were affiliated with al-Qaeda.

So after the grotesquerie of the Taliban and Osama bin Laden and 15 of the 19 suicide killers of 9/11, meet Saudi Arabia’s latest monstrous contribution to world history: the Islamist Sunni caliphate of Iraq and the Levant, conquerors of Mosul and Tikrit – and Raqqa in Syria – and possibly Baghdad, and the ultimate humiliators of Bush and Obama.
From Aleppo in northern Syria almost to the Iraqi-Iranian border, the jihadists of Isis and sundry other groupuscules paid by the Saudi Wahhabis – and by Kuwaiti oligarchs – now rule thousands of square miles.

We all know of the “deep concern” of Washington and London at the territorial victories of the Islamists – and the utter destruction of all that America and Britain bled and died for in Iraq. No one, however, will feel as much of this “deep concern” as Shia Iran and Assad of Syria and Maliki of Iraq, who must regard the news from Mosul and Tikrit as a political and military disaster. Just when Syrian military forces were winning the war for Assad, tens of thousands of Iraqi-based militants may now turn on the Damascus government, before or after they choose to advance on Baghdad.

DeleteNo one will care now how many hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have been slaughtered since 2003 because of the fantasies of Bush and Blair. These two men destroyed Saddam’s regime to make the world safe and declared that Iraq was part of a titanic battle against “Islamofascism”. Well, they lost.
Remember that the Americans captured and recaptured Mosul to crush the power of Islamist fighters. They fought for Fallujah twice. And both cities have now been lost again to the Islamists. The armies of Bush and Blair have long gone home, declaring victory.

The refugees fleeing Mosul are more frightened of Shia government revenge than they are of the Sunni jihadists who have captured their city.
We will all be told to regard the new armed “caliphate” as a “terror nation”. Abu Mohamed al-Adnani, the Isis spokesman, is intelligent, warning against arrogance, talking of an advance on Baghdad when he may be thinking of Damascus. Isis is largely leaving the civilians of Mosul unharmed.
Finally, we will be invited to regard the future as a sectarian war when it will be a war between Muslim sectarians and Muslim non-sectarians. The “terror” bit will be provided by the arms we send to all sides.
The only problem with your theory, Deuce, is that no one has been allowed to say the word "terror" in the West Wing for five years. And "militant nation" doesn't have the same cachet.

25 The priest is to take from her hands the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord and bring it to the altar.
26 The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial offering and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water.
27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse.
28 If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.

ReplyDeleteFor anyone to claim the mantel of Semitic Culture as their own ...
They must reside in a house of mirrors.

ReplyDeleteLooks like we both are ahead of those in Israel lagging back there at 95 I think it was. Of course it could be claimed that this score is diluted somewhat by the inclusion of the scores of the sons of Ishmael.

Of course the Swedish score might also be deleted a bit by the inclusion of the recently arrived sons of Ishmael, and this cannot be said of Poland, which probably gives me a slight edge.

Rand Paul Says Labrador Would Be "a Great Leader"
By Kimberlee Kruesi - June 14, 2014
MOSCOW, Idaho (AP) -- Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul is offering words of support for Idaho Rep. Raul Labrador, who has announced a longshot bid to become U.S. House majority leader.
Paul was the keynote speaker at Idaho's Republican Convention on Friday. The 2016 GOP presidential prospect was joined by Labrador and said, "I think Labrador would be a great leader."
Ads by BlockAndSurfAd Options
Paul also spoke of the need for the various factions in the Republican Party to put aside their differences in the November election.
Labrador announced his candidacy for the leadership position earlier Friday. House Republicans will be picking a new majority leader to succeed Rep. Eric Cantor, who was defeated this week in Virginia's GOP primary.
California Rep. Kevin McCarthy is thought to be the front-runner to replace Cantor.

It is interesting that the same foreigners in Australia that say that Jerusalem is not "Occupied" agree with President Obama on Climate Change.
ReplyDeleteTwo rights or two wrongs?
U.S. President Barack Obama Saturday took aim at congressional Republicans and others who dispute climate change, as he issued a call to action on global warming during a commencement speech at the University of California, Irvine.
The president told graduating students Saturday that Congress "is full of folks who stubbornly and automatically reject the scientific evidence."
Not only Congress, but the Ashkenazi contingent at the Elephant Bar.

ReplyDelete“The point is we won’t win the fight until we accept the nature of it.”
Point well taken and then scrupulously avoided. The West has waited for nearly thirteen (13) years for some sign of moderate Islam. It has waited in vain. Possibly, when the last country in Southwestern Asia is embroiled in chaos, Blair et al may finally be tempted to admit the obvious. If or when London takes a major hit, he may, at long last, see reality, but I doubt it. Blair strikes me as a man who will blabber on as his throat is being slit from ear to ear. He wants to make the world to sing in perfect harmony and, by god, nothing will dissuade him. Find a mirror, Mr. Blair, look at your reflection, and say, if you can, “I knew what I was doing.” The fact is: Mr. Blair is as dense now as he was when he signed on for George’s great adventure. George failed. Blair failed. Obama failed. It’s time for a change.
As far as I am concerned, the more damage they (Muslims) inflict on each other is less they will be able to inflict on others (those poor devils in Nigeria should be so lucky). Pass out the shovels and start up the band. Devote Muslims believe they are undergoing a reformation of Islam. Peace is not the goal. They desire nothing so much as a return to the glory days of boundless Sharia. They will wait until hell freezes over. The likes of Bush, Blair, and Obama will pass into the ignominy they deserve. At some point, doubtless a perilous one, the West will find a warrior. That will be a dark day for Islam.
“And the angel of the Lord said unto her: 'Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son; and thou shalt call his name Ishmael, because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.
And he shall be a wild ass of a man: his hand shall be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the face of all his brethren.'”

“Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else.

Labrador, a politico that promises to quit if there is a vote
Labrador, who worked as an immigration attorney before serving in Congress, was part of a bipartisan group in the House that was working on a reform bill. But Labrador famously quit the group because of a disagreement with its other members over whether to entitle undocumented immigrants to some form of healthcare.
Labrador has not been shy about criticizing House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, saying that he should step down if he allows a vote on an immigration bill this year.
What a farce.
Jack HawkinsFri Jun 13, 09:37:00 PM EDT
Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID), who worked as an immigration attorney before entering politics, began the current session of Congress as one of the single most important players on the pro-reform side.
After President Obama’s dominant performance with Latino voters in 2012, Labrador worked with a bipartisan group of eight House members on a comprehensive immigration bill. Their efforts were essentially the House version of the Senate’s bipartisan “Gang of Eight”, which produced a sweeping immigration bill that passed last year.
Labrador’s popularity with the tea party lent irreplaceable credibility to the House’s immigration reform efforts in early 2013. He criticized Mitt Romney’s “self-deportation” policy and urged the party to take an active role in crafting a centrist alternative.
“It’s one of the stumbling blocks that I see for some Republicans. They’re moderate on every other issue, and they think this is the one issue where they have to become conservatives,” he told the Washington Post in February of last year. “I feel the reverse.”
Labrador favored some path to limited legal status for undocumented immigrants – a position most of his colleagues were reluctant to adopt – and said he was uncomfortable barring people from attaining citizenship through existing channels once they settled down.
“We shouldn’t create a second class group that could never become citizens, but we should also not give them a special pathway that nobody can follow,” Labrador said in March 2013 in a panel discussion with several similarly conservative lawmakers.
At one point, Labrador’s suggestion of legal status with no explicit ban on applying for green cards and eventual naturalization looked like a promising compromise.

A friend of mine up your way reports that wolves are being killed.

DeleteYes, they are. They are so out of control here in Idaho now that anyone can shoot them on sight, day or night 24/7/12.
My new lawyer's secretary, who lives out my way, and is an outdoor gal, she, her husband and I are going to set up some cameras out there a little later this summer. I am researching trail cams and video cams now. She and her husband have two of the four wheel drive buggies, you know the kind, can't think what they call them now. I don't even have a pickup these days, so with their help we have easy access to all the parts of the place. We are teaming up.
If we do get some pics or video of some wolves I make a sacred promise to post them here. Hopefully a dead one !! With me struggling to hold the beast up, in honor of Deuce's old faux picture of me doing the same on a thread long ago.
Hah Deuce, take that !!!!!
If we really want to finally rid ourselves of these ravenous beasts, which were never native here, but another type of wolf, much larger, we may end up going back to the animal carcass Strychnine laced method which I have long advocated but so offended the delicate sensibilities of my Detroit friend Quirk. Everyone has delicate sensibilities in Detroit.
