What I find difficult to understand why most of the people behave like cattle derived by politicians and the media.
People, politicians and the media forget the main problem and started to shift the focus on sub-problems in an attempt to play down the cause of the real problem.
I am referring here to the “British Insurgents” captured in Iraq, people started to debate on “if they were handed over to Militia or not” or “is Iraqi police infiltrated by Militia members or not” but they forget to debate on:
- Why do SAS members disguise as Iraqis?
- Is it the SAS job to gather information?
- Why do they need two M4, two rocket launchers, anti-tanks rockets, 2 Machineguns, wire cutters, explosives and 2 wigs to gather information?
- How many missions like this one “succeeded” before ?.
Watch Newsnight on the BBC
What will happend if two Iraqis walking the streets of London or New York with the same gadgets ( in the UK is shoot to dead policy).
The positive news is: this event was a wakeup call for some silent Iraqis and I am including Blogs too.
We Iraqis learned in our history books the term “divide and conquer” and now we are seeing it live.
For sure we will never hear any information about their mission from officials, sadly people also will never ask these questions and much worst they will Justify it and for sure also the coming weeks there will be no bombings in Bassra too.
