Parry: "Bush In Iraq, Slouching Toward Genocide"

[Oilwellian]

(snip)
Despite pretty words about democracy and freedom, George W. Bush’s “victory” plan in Iraq is starting to look increasingly like an invitation to genocide, the systematic destruction of the Sunni minority for resisting its U.S.-induced transformation from the nation’s ruling elite into second-class citizenship.

(snip)
The Sunnis, an Islamic sect that makes up about 35 percent of Iraq’s 26 million people, are being confronted with a stark choice, either accept subordination to the less-educated Shiite majority or face the devastation of Sunni neighborhoods, the imprisonment of many Sunni males and the deaths of large numbers of the Sunni population.

(snip)
But human rights groups and other investigators have blamed many of the Sunni killings on the Badr Brigade, an Iranian-backed Shiite militia associated with a leading element of the Iraqi government, the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq. The Council has close ties to the fundamentalist Shiite government of Iran.

(snip)

The killings and disappearances are reminiscent of the bloodshed in Central America in the 1980s when right-wing regimes in Guatemala and El Salvador unleashed security forces to round up, torture and kill suspected leftists.

1. "Final Solution" n/t

[americanstranger]

2. Textbook Negroponte.

The Death Squad scenario's got his stink all over it.

Add to that a fucking delusional preznit who gets pissy when you give him bad news and Iraqis who have practiced revenge for sport for thousands of years, and they could end up knee-deep in Sunni blood.

Big Darkness coming. Hunter nailed it.

3. They're applying the Condo_LIES_a doctrine... Rec.

"Hundreds of accounts of killings and abductions have emerged in recent weeks, most of them brought forward by Sunni civilians, who claim that their relatives have been taken away by Iraqi men in uniform without warrant or explanation," New York Times correspondent Dexter Filkins reported from Baghdad."

Yep. Perhaps they're all guilty before they're guilty too. :shrug:

5. And in addition, the alleged plan to provide "air support"

that Sy Hersh talked about will have the US just raining death on entire populations at the direction of, well, somebody on the ground. High Tech death squads terrorizing entire cities from the sky.
