--- Begin Message ----Caveat Lector- http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article6095.htm"We'll All Go To Hell With The Marines" By Stefano Chiarini ** An enormous understanding gap now exists between Iraqis and the occupiers. The Iraqi revolt is a challenge to which the coalition seems unable to respond effectively. According to a British officer, the American army, inspired by Israeli methods, may apply "the Jenin solution." Il Manifesto (Rome) April 23, 2004 --The version below is translated from Fabio Lo Verso's French version of the article that appeared on Apr. 26 in Le Courrier (Geneva). Original article (in Italian): Original source: Il Manifesto (Rome) French translation: Source: Le Courrier (Geneva) BAGHDAD -- At least 60,000 refugees have fled Fallujah for Baghdad. The stories they've told about the violence inflicted upon them in their city have contributed to the creation of an enormous gap -- beyond anything heretofore seen -- between the residents of the Iraqi capital and the occupiers. American soldiers seem bent on doing all they can to alienate the population: "And it's absolutely mad," exclaimed a British military expert in a bar on the banks of the Tigris. Outside, a hot sandstorm almost takes your breath away. "They'll never win -- we'll never win." "We, the British, think that we need to learn the lesson of the Iraqi revolt of the 1920s, back when we exercised a mandate in this country. In many ways, that rebellion was comparable to the one today. We also think that what is called for is a method similar to the one we used in Belfast. But the Americans are adopting the 'Jenin model,' which the Israelis gave them, and which will lead us all into hell with them." CHAOS ON THE HIGHWAYS The words of this English officer are confirmed by what happened a few days ago in front of the Abu Hanifa mosque in Adamiya. On the outer walls of the building, notices appeared calling for support of the revolt of the inhabitants of Fallujah against the occupier. By way of reply, marine tanks broke down the gates to the courtyard and destroyed the cases filled with food and medicine that were in transit to the refugees. Outside, the square in front of the mosque soon turned into a battlefield. Last Wednesday, on the same square, life seemed to have resumed its normal course, when, at 10:30 a.m., a member of the mujahedin wearing a face covering shot a man who had just gotten out of an armored vehicle. "That's how mercenaries working for Israel should end up," he screamed. Then he turned toward the owner of the kiosk where the victim had been heading, and shot him in the leg. "And woe to those who work for them." The dead man was a South African national recruited by a private military contractor. Iraqi fighters are increasing attacks on highways, and inhabitants are hiding bombs there in unimaginable places, like wrapping belts of explosives around stray dogs and blowing them up from a distance by remote control. Every convoy, even those carrying mineral water, has to be escorted. And at least fifty subcontractors have been executed so far for working for the American army (fifty have been kidnapped, but most of them later have been liberated later). This strategy can be said to have been successful, in that a considerable quantity of military mat�riel remains stuck at the Baghdad airport, awaiting shipment to Najaf, a city besieged by about two thousand marines who, beneath a burning sun, have been forced to sleep in military vehicles and to use a mere six latrines because it has been impossible to get tents and chemical toilets to them. STATE POWER DESTROYED As for the defection of Iraqi security agents, Gen. Martin Dempsey, commander of the First Division controlling Baghdad, revealed that half of them had fired at American soldiers, and had thereby gone over to "the insurgents." The general openly admitted that at bottom there is a political problem, in the sense that in the absence of a government and defense and interior ministries (all dissolved by Paul Bremer under the influence of American neoconservatives), Iraqi soldiers had turned away because of an "unsatisfied expectation," namely, that of "a form of hierarchy in which people can have confidence," but also because of "a tremendous resistance to the idea of using their arms against their fellow citizens." The general also expressed his doubts about the U.S.-U.K. decision to dissolve the Iraqi army and dismiss from their positions in policy-making agencies all those who belonged to the Baath Party. In doing so, the entire state structure of Iraq was destroyed. For their part, the members of the "Committee of Free Officers," comprised of the upper echelon of those in the Iraqi army dismissed by Paul Bremer, issued a statement, saying: "In 24 hours, we could form anew an army that would put an end to the chaos reigning in this country, but we will never do that for the Americans. We will do it only for a governement that defends the national sovereignty of our country." THE CIA AND MOSSAD Public confidence in the occupiers has never been lower. One week ago, a few minutes after five bombs exploded in Basra, in the southern part of the country, causing the deaths of fifty people, British soldiers and doctors arrived on the scene to provide first aid, and were almost lynched by the mob. They were accused of being responsible for the attack, which Iraqis attributed, like all the other scenes of bloody chaos, to the CIA or to the Israeli Mossad. This conviction was expressed in a demonstration last Wednesday "against the occupation and Blair's crimes." "Do you know why there weren't any bomb attacks for the last few months?" asks an Iraqi policeman assigned to guarding a strategic sector of Baghdad. "Because after the revolt broke out, the agents of the CIA and the Israelis were primarily worried about saving their own lives. But once the situation calmed down, first in the south, they got back to work again. Don't talk to me about al-Qaeda!" But perhaps all is not lost for a fringe element of the military coalition that claims to be full of good will. A group of experts in mass communication is supposed to arrive soon in the Iraqi capital. They're the same ones who managed Margaret Thatcher's election campaign. Now they're charged with convincing the Iraqis of the occupation's good intentions. But their success in this city is anything but assured. --Translated [from the Italian] and adapted by Fabio Lo Verso -- Translated from the French by Mark K.
