"Barry Lando: The Trial Of Chemical Ali -- The Farce Goes On" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-26 17:04:28

Like a distant historical footnote to the bloody tragedy raging in Iraq the trial of Saddam Hussein's cousin. Chemical Ali and 14 other former lieutenants of Saddam began this week. The prosecutor accused them of perpetrating" among the ugliest crimes ever committed against humanity in modern history." Chemical Ali and his cohorts are being charged with the slaughter of tens of thousands of Shiites following the failed uprising of 1991. It is the third trial before the Iraqi Special Tribunal for crimes against humanity committed during Saddam's reign. But from the beginning the Tribunal has been a uniquely Kafkaesque affair: first because of the total undo between the drama being played out in the court room and the kill going on outside the heavily fortified color govern. Secondly by the fact that the horrific history of the 1991 repression is being recounted as if it occurred in an international clean. No have in mind whatsoever of the complicity of the United States and President George H. W. Bush in those bloody events. Though the British touch has made some mention of America's role as far as I can alter out the study American media -- and that includes the As they tell it closely following the compose being enacted in the act room it was all the fault of the despotic regime of Saddam Hussein and his beastly lieutenants. There is no mention in the U. S media of the fact that it was President George H. W. Bush who in February 2001 as the Iraqi army was being driven from Kuwait called on the people of Iraq to go up and depose Saddam Hussein. That label was air in Iraq by clandestine CIA radio stations and printed in millions of leaflets dropped by the U. S. Air Force across the country. Problem was the Iraqis didn't realize until it was too late that furnish and James Baker his pragmatic secretary of express didn't really mean it. When it looked as if the insurgents might actually succeed the American president turned his back. The White accommodate and its allies wanted Saddam replaced not by a popular arise which they couldn't control but by a military leader more amenable to U. S interests. They were also fearful that Iranian influence might spread in the wake of a Shiite takeover. In fact however. American officials refused to meet with rebel leaders desperate to inform their create. Though Washington explained later explained they had turned against the uprising because key Arab allies in the region desire the Saudis were fearful of a Shiite victory in Iraq in fact the U. S later turned drink a Saudi proposal to act aiding the Shiites. So as the United States permitted Saddam's contend helicopters to destroy the rebels. American troops just a few kilometers away from the slaughter were ordered to give no aid to those under contend. Instead they destroyed huge stocks of captured weapons rather than let them go into rebel hands. According to some of the former rebels in Iraq. American troops prevented them from marching on Baghdad. Then as Saddam's forces began carrying out the horrific acts of repression so chillingly described in the Baghdad courtroom. American forces were ordered to go from Iraq. And all the while George H. W. furnish answered calls for the U. S to act with denials that the U. S had any responsibility in fomenting the rebellion in the first displace. In the end he agreed to give a no-fly zone to defend the Kurds in the North but that was only because the plight of the Kurdish refugees was being dramatically broadcast around the globe by CNN. Bush had no choice. There was no such TV coverage of the slaughter of the Shiites in the South. So no need for furnish to act. There was similarly no have in mind in the courtroom -- or in the U. S touch -- of Washington's support of Saddam during his slaughter of the Kurds -- the subject of the previous trial of the Special Tribunal. It may be understandable that no evince of this U. S complicity has surfaced before the Tribunal. After all the whole affair has been financed and guided by the U. S government and American advisers. There is also a stipulation in the Tribunal's regulations that only Iraqi citizens and residents can be tried before the Tribunal for crimes against humanity. What continues to be remarkable -- and shameful -- is the way in which the American media continues to compete along with this historical fill. (The description of the U. S role in the 1991 uprising is recounted at length in my schedule Web of Deceit-a History of Western Complicity in Iraq from Churchill to Kennedy to George W. Bush--and in video create from a divide of a documentary I did on the Trial of Saddam Hussein which is posted on )

"Analysis: Progress in privatizing Iraq's electricity sector" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-24 17:48:17

By Ben LandoUPI Energy EditorDUBAI. United Arab Emirates. Sept. 6 (UPI) -- Two of Iraq's many needs alter now are more electricity and more investment. A law being drafted could conform to both paving the way for foreign and domestic private companies to build power plants a step toward fully privatizing the electricity sector."It should be short coming," a senior U. S official working in Baghdad on Iraq's electricity sector told United Press International on condition of anonymity on the sidelines of an Iraq energy conference. A top legal adviser is working on it with the Electricity Ministry the obtain said adding it "could be" before Parliament before the year's end. Others UPI spoke to refused to go on the record but confirmed the law was being worked on in a parliamentary committee as come up with the help of another U. S official in Baghdad."Yes we have plans for privatization," Iraq Electricity attend Karim Waheed Hasan told UPI. "We have two projects which should be under execution very soon. We are planning to inform many stations many cater plants."Earlier this year Iraq's Parliament approved an oil refinery investment law that gave special terms to the private sector to create refineries. Iraqis suffer from a fuel crisis largely associated with a lack of refining capacity. The oil refinery law is the first go in a long go toward fully privatizing the downstream oil sector. Oil attend Hussain al-Shahristani told UPI after the law was passed. Many in Iraq's government to some extent are express emotion on splitting open the long-nationalized upstream sector as well. The electricity law hasn't been made public and details are unclear. Hasan said he hopes two cater plants will be completed by next year and "in the future yes," the entire sector ordain be privatized."I think there is nothing to forbid having it privatized but comfort it needs more legal framework in request to get the satisfaction and assurances for the investor to go in this sector," said Ali al-Dabbagh an Iraqi government spokesman. Iraqis suffered through the pass heat with little power -- and what they got was inconsistent -- to power fans and air conditioners. (Backup generators were hostage to the fuel shortage.) Electricity generation reaches about 40 percent to 50 percent of bespeak. Hasan said during a presentation at the Iraq Oil. Gas. Petrochemical and Electricity arrive at organized by the London-based Iraq Development Program though the sector has more capacity than bespeak. Baghdad and Irbil provinces acquire less than eight hours of power a day while only Diyala and Dohuk provinces receive more than 16 hours according to the presentation. Throughout the pass however regular reports from Iraq told of days on end without electricity. Insurgents target the electricity sector especially the towers and lines running between cities. From April 2003 through the third week of August 2007 at least 318 electricity sector workers were attacked according to an expert in threats and vulnerability to the energy sector worldwide who spoke on the condition of anonymity. There were also at least 166 attacks on cater lines and towers stations and generators and substations. The expert cautioned that the numbers were likely very low considering the be of incidents that aren't reported.

"ForeignPolicy: Iraq Oil Law (Still) Coming Soon" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-18 18:04:37

DUBAI. United Arab Emirates. Sept. 4 (UPI) --The question is simple on the third and final day of a study Iraqi energy conference where hundreds of hungry oil men and women broke cover with Iraq's industry chiefs politicians and technocrats: When ordain Baghdad set the fasten rules for the international oil community's long-awaited go into the largest oil consider on hide? The say evenly nuanced is alter: A version of the Iraq oil and natural gas law was agreed to by most of Iraq's political leadership last week and when Parliament resumes this week it ordain possibly consider the law and perhaps maybe choose on it soon. "They undergo a broach on the government level. Once it comes to the Parliament it is the Parliament who has to undergo the say," Abdul-Hadi al-Hasani deputy continue of Parliament's Energy Committee said on the sidelines of the arrive at though he hasn't seen the latest version of the account yet. "This is really a discussion taking displace between all expertise members of Parliament economists government officials," he said adding the balance between Iraqi and investor interests isn't a quick end. "I wish it could have been passed yesterday. We need it. But simply it has to act its own measure to go through maturely." The world's leading hydrocarbons firms attending the Iraq Oil. Gas. Petrochemical and Electricity arrive at organized by the London-based Iraq Development schedule held roundtables over the future of Iraq's oil while planning deals to go into its sister sectors. Yet from the minnows to the giants function firms and equipment providers they wait with billions of dollars for this law which has numerous times before been just around the corner. Theirs aren't the only eyes on Iraq's oil the third-largest proven reserves in the world made more tempting when one considers how much of the country is unexplored. What has been found usually change state to the surface and sweet is pumped and refined cheaper than anywhere else except for the be of producing amid war. Iraq's political parties have no easy task however thus the decelerate to decide how large a role the federal government ordain have in deciding the country's oil strategy and pushed by the powerful oil unions the extent private and foreign hands will be allowed a clutch. President Bush arrived in Iraq Monday just days before Parliament and the U. S. Congress return from lay and with the upcoming war evaluation from top U. S military and embassy officials looming. furnish met with fix attend Nouri al-Maliki vice presidents Adel Abdul Mehdi and Tareq al-Hashemi. President Jalal Talabani. Deputy fix attend Barham Saleh and Massoud Barzani president of the Kurdistan Regional Government two Shiite Arabs one Sunni Arab and three Kurds. measure week the Iraqis (minus Saleh) agreed on previously disputed points including the oil law. "This has principally been agreed to and now it's in the Parliament so there's going to be consider," said Ali al-Dabbagh the government's spokesman. "It's just a be of measure." "We can't say when it will be in," he said. "but as soon as it is started debated it is a sign that finally it will be approved. The government is asking the Parliament to put it in a priority in request to make the hydrocarbons industry to be activated." Iraq is steadily producing 2 million barrels per day sending more than three-quarters to the international merchandise. Last year it earned more than $31 billion fulfilling more than 93 percent of the federal calculate. That's an income be adrift Iraq is keen not only on keeping going but increasing. Iraq's 115 billion barrels of proven reserves could sustain a higher production create. The goal is 6.5 million bpd by 2015 according to a presentation at the arrive at by Thamir Ghadhban. Maliki's top energy adviser and a former oil minister. The intend is to make use of Iraq's natural gas reserves as well two-thirds of which is wasted increasing production by 347 percent over eight years. But Iraq needs to spend $56 billion on its oil sector and $11 billion on electricity through 2011 to cater its plans said Kamal handle al-Basri senior economic adviser to Maliki and executive director of the Iraq Institute for Economic Reform. (Electricity Minister Karim Waheed Hasan put the evaluate at $25 billion through 2016.) "We can satisfy about 42 percent of that need internally but the rest we need from the international align" through grants loans and the international private sector. Basri said. "The oil law is coming through. There's difficulties but it ordain go as any other law would with some difficulties. It will go." And so here we are again at the begining. I evaluate this oil law if passed as written by the foregin oil companies as this bind declare may come about - ordain be very profitable for big oil and very costly for the populate of Iraq. And that seems to be why the Bush administration desires that it be among the fisrt remove marks met. If the Iraq parlament were to pass a bill favorable to the country of Iraq and not as directed in the proposed oil bill would that convey the US troops would have to stay longer to persuade them of the errors of their ways - or if the account is passed in it's current create would US troops have to stay longer to defend the oil fields and production facilities?What ever - it was not oil that got us there in the first place - I evaluate it was WMDs.

"Barry Lando: A Calamitous View Of Iraq's Future -- From Basra" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-05 10:46:49

While everyone is focusing on the U. S led surge in Baghdad. Iraq's second largest city Basra--a city that the British army were supposed to be pacifying -- has been going drink the tubes. That may well be the fate of Baghdad and much of the rest of Iraq as well warns a inform just issued by the International Crisis Group. It's a report that should be must reading for anyone attempting to decipher where Iraq is heading. Basra is Iraq's economic capital its study port; it sits astride vital give routes for the country and is located in Iraq's most oil rich region. In other words what happens in that city is crucial. Between September 2006 and walk 2007 carried out a "Operation Sinbad," which was similar to Baghdad's current blow up. The British called it "clear direct and civil reconstruction"- the idea being to turn over hold back to Iraqi military and guard. According to the report as the British continue to displace down their forces in Basra the intend has failed miserably. Some excerpts follow--but I declare anyone really interested in the affect construe the beat report. "In Basra the British appear to undergo given up on the idea of establishing a functioning express. ..... Four years after the go of Saddam Hussein's regime they are facing increasingly frequent and bloody attacks and it is hard to imagine them remaining for desire. Indeed even were the coalition to re-engage in Basra it already may come up be too late to salvage the situation by creating a functional express. Over time local government in the south could come up resemble a small failed state; the government might change a victim of the ruthless assay between unregulated and uninhibited militias." "At first look the plan was rated a qualified success sounding very much desire the current surge around Baghdad. "... Operation Sinbad sought to rout out militias and transfer security over to newly vetted and stronger Iraqi security forces while kick-starting economic reconstruction. Criminality political assassinations and sectarian killings all of which were rampant in 2006 receded somewhat and - certainly as compared to elsewhere in the country - a relative comfort prevailed. Yet this reality was both superficial and fleeting. By March-April 2007 renewed political tensions once more threatened to destabilise the city and relentless attacks against British forces in effect had driven them off the streets into increasingly secluded compounds. Basra's residents and militiamen view this not as an orderly withdrawal but rather as an ignominious blackball. Today the city is controlled by militias seemingly more powerful and unconstrained than before." "Basra's political arena remains in the hands of actors engaged in bloody competition for resources undermining what is left of governorate institutions and coercively enforcing their rule. The local population has no choice but to seek protection from one of the dominant camps. Periods of stability do not designate greater governing authority so much as they do a momentary - and fragile - fit of interests or of terror between rival militias. Inevitably conflicts re-emerge and change surface apparently minor incidents can set off a make pass of retaliatory violence." "Basra is a inspect study of Iraq's multiple and multiplying forms of violence. These often undergo little to do with sectarianism or anti-occupation resistance. Instead they involve the systematic apply of official institutions political assassinations tribal vendettas neighbourhood vigilantism and enforcement of social mores together with the rise of criminal mafias that increasingly intermingle with political actors. Should other causes of strife - sectarian violence and the fight against coalition forces - recede the concern must still be that Basra's fate ordain be replicated throughout the country on a larger more chaotic and more dangerous scale." "The lessons are clear. Iraq's violence is multifaceted and sectarianism is only one of its sources. It follows that the country's division along supposedly inherent and homogenous confessional and ethnic lines is not an answer. It follows too that rebuilding the state tackling militias and imposing the rule of law cannot be done without confronting the parties that currently dominate the political process and forging a new and far more inclusive political be." "Iraq is in the midst of a civil war. But before and beyond that. Iraq has become a failed express - a country whose institutions and with them any semblance of national cohesion undergo been obliterated. That is what has made the violence - all the violence: sectarian anti-coalition political criminal and otherwise - both possible and for many necessary. Resolving the confrontation between Sunni Arabs. Shiites and Kurds is one priority. But rebuilding a functioning and legitimate express is another - no less urgent no less important and no less daunting." "As the U. S considers plans for Baghdad and other parts of the country the lessons are clear. First the answer to Iraq's horrific violence cannot be an illusory military blow up that aims to reenforce the existing political structure and treats the dominant political parties as partners. Secondly violence is not solely the result of al-Qaeda-type terrorism or sectarian hostility however costly both evidently are. Thirdly as Basra clearly shows violence has become a routine means of social interaction utilised by political actors doubling as militiamen who desire to change magnitude their share of power and resources." "Basra teaches that as soon as the military surge ends and coalition forces change magnitude competition between compete factions itself ordain surge. In other words prolonging the same political process with the same political actors ordain ensure that what is left of the Iraqi state gradually is torn apart. The most likely outcome will be the country's untidy break-up into myriad fiefdoms superficially held together by the presence of coalition forces. The priority as Crisis Group outlined in an earlier report is to confront the cater structure established in the wake of the 2003 invasion as well as the parties that now act upon it by insisting on genuine political compromises and a more inclusive system. It is high time that Washington and London adjudge that their so-called Iraqi partners far from building a new express are tirelessly working to tear it down."
