Iraq: "We are not involved in a plan there, but with a theory"
The Sunday edition of the Guardian calls it a tandem strategy: here the amplifier military offensive on re-lever castles, especially Falludja, there "Diplomatic efforts", to the "Increase in money and staff" for the "Sparkish" From the neighboring country Syria. Which activities are behind the "Diplomatic skills" The US hide opposite Syria, but remains in the dark; Dafur was a new one of intelligence sources "Big Man" Announced by Iraqi resistance: Mohammed Yunis al-Ahmed, Fruher a ranked member of the Iraqi Baath party, contemporary residence Syria, suspicion: Yunis al-Ahmed is an important stripping puller of the resistance in Iraq.
Between 20 and 50 former parties of the Iraqi Baath Party, according to information of "Western secret services" Hide in Syria and from there from the "Guerrilla war" organize in the neighboring country. As a key figure, Mohammed Yunis al-Ahmed, aka "Khadr Al-Sabahi" called. Much more was from the new Big Man so far not known; So far, he only appeared on US search lists of former high-ranking members of the Saddam Hussein regime, without photo, without no smoking; One million dollars are exposed to his seizure.
Obviously, with the announcement of the Syrian "Cells" the old baathist prere on Syria are removed; Accordingly, the Y-man, Yunis, is propagated as an important stripping puller, which is to play an even stronger role for the Iraqi resistance than the Z man, Zarqawi (cf. The z-man), whose group Tawid Whale Jihad At the weekend in an unnecessary explanation on a website announced that you will be pleased for the Orders of the Al Qaeda Chef Osama Bin Laden.
During the Guardian, the evidence of DAFUR conserves that very much "Destabilizing interference in Iraqi matters" From neighboring countries, named Syria and Iran is also called Saudi Arabia, and Iraq as "Main battlefield in the fight against terrorism" (Bush) actually more and more "Djahidi guerrillas" Seems to be attracted, critical American media presently always provide new reports about how poorly the US guided was prepared for a foreseeable guerrilla war.
A rough surprise are not the findings of these reports, it was too obvious that the coalition troops although the efficient strategy for those in retrospect "Main campaigns" Until taking Baghdads in April last year, but no for the time after. Here, this shows the report of the Iraq Survey Group under the direction of the boss of weapon inspectors, Charles A. Duuller, had you been able to know (ames that it is at least the CIA also knew that Saddam Hussein’s strategy against the supersonic opponent insisted on time and on a partisan war. The outbreak of resistance in Iraq was therefore none "Random consequence of a war plan, which worked award", As Prasident Bush represents in his speeches, but prepared for a long way in the long run, as the Duelfer report suggests.
In the Bush government, one obviously thought short-term. For the time after the conquest field train you had no plan, as a detailed and detailed report of Knight Ridder demonstrated. After researching documents and interviews with decision-makers who are directly in the preparation and transaction of the operation "liberation" were involved in Iraq and it is still partly, the American reporters of the for his independence and accuracy of his research is based on Knight Ridder teams to the result that the US government without anyone "Comprehensive plan for securing and reconstruction of the country" Troops in Iraq invaded love, which, unlike generals demanded, about 100.000 men were missing to ensure safety and order in the country and thus create a base for reconstruction.
Still in Marz of the year 2003, a few days before the beginning of the war, an anecdote clarifies, one had with a presentation of the war strategy for the "Phase 4 C", Which for the reconstruction was, only an empty sheet with the note "Will be delivered later". At this time, one was still hoped that most US soldiers could remove from Iraq again in September 2003. The then prevailing mix of ignorance — none of the government was interested in the tarpaulin for the time after that, the z.B. from the National Intelligence Council of the CIA or USAID were submitted — , Wishful Thinking and Bigger Than Life— Self-consciousness illustrates the sentence of an employee of the AuF Ministry:
We did not march with a plan. We went with a theory.
