The Engineered Destruction and Political Fragmentation
of Iraq. Towards the Creation of a US Sponsored Islamist Caliphate
The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham: An instrument of the Western Military Alliance
By Prof Michel Chossudovsky
The Western media in chorus have described the unfolding conflict in Iraq as a “civil war” opposing the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham against the Armed forces of the Al-Maliki government.
(Also referred to as Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) or Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS))
The conflict is casually described as “sectarian warfare” between Radical Sunni and Shia without addressing “who is behind the various factions”. What is at stake is a carefully staged US military-intelligence agenda.
Known and documented, Al Qaeda affiliated entities have been used by
US-NATO in numerous conflicts as “intelligence assets” since the heyday
of the Soviet-Afghan war. In Syria, the Al Nusrah and ISIS rebels are
the foot-soldiers of the Western military alliance, which oversees and
controls the recruitment and training of paramilitary forces.
The
Al Qaeda affiliated Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) re-emerged in April
2013 with a different name and acronym, commonly referred to as the
Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The formation of a terrorist
entity encompassing both Iraq and Syria was part of a US intelligence
agenda. It responded to geopolitical objectives. It also coincided with
the advances of Syrian government forces against the US sponsored
insurgency in Syria and the failures of both the Free Syrian Army (FSA)
and its various “opposition” terror brigades.
The decision was taken by Washington to channel its support
(covertly) in favor of a terrorist entity which operates in both Syria
and Iraq and which has logistical bases in both countries. The Islamic
State of Iraq and al-Sham’s Sunni caliphate project coincides with a
longstanding US agenda to carve up both Iraq and Syria into three
separate territories: A Sunni Islamist Caliphate, an Arab Shia Republic,
and a Republic of Kurdistan.

The Truth About US Troops “Sent to Iraq”
By Tony Cartalucci
Indeed, nearly 300 troops are being prepared to deploy to Iraq,
as they would be to any nation on Earth where a US embassy is located,
and may possibly require evacuation. It is in no way an “intervention”
or a gesture of “assistance” to the government of a destabilized
country. However, in Iraq, Western headlines would have readers think
otherwise.
The Guardian’s article, “Barack Obama sends troops back to Iraq as Isis insurgency worsens,” in title alone leads the general population to believe the third “Iraq War” has begun. The article claims:
The US is urgently deploying several hundred armed troops
in and around Iraq and considering sending an additional contingent of
special forces soldiers as Baghdad struggles to repel a rampant
insurgency.
Upon carefully reading the article, however, it is revealed that these troops are only to aid in the security of the US embassy in Baghdad. Buried 11 paragraphs down, amid suggestions, speculation, and conjecture, is the true nature of the latest deployment:
Obama said in his notification to Congress that the
military personnel being sent to Iraq would provide support and security
for the American embassy in Baghdad, but was “equipped for combat”.
All troops participating in such missions to protect and possibly
evacuate US embassies anywhere on Earth are “equipped for combat.” This
hyperbole at best is sensationalism, and at worst, intentional
disinformation meant to further undermine the stability of Baghdad’s
government, by implying that it both seeks and depends on US military
forces for its continued survival.
Image: US troops aren’t going “to
Iraq.” They are going to bolster security at the US Embassy in Baghdad.
Attempts to portray the routine move as an “intervention” is a ploy to
undermine the credibility and sovereignty of the Iraqi government.
It has been previously reported
that the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is a creation of the
United States and its regional allies, with the CIA itself monitoring,
arming, and funding the terrorist organization along the Turkish-Syrian
border for the past 3 years. The ISIS’ incursion into northern Iraq was
portended by their very public redeployment to eastern Syria in March
2014 where they then prepared for the invasion of Iraq.
