Britain's involvement in the new Iraq war is a doomed and dangerous gesture

With no proper strategy, the return to conflict
will only reinforce the politics of fear that is
the grimmest legacy of the Blair era
Simon Jenkins The Guardian, Thursday 25 September 2014
This is the moment in any war when peace goes
dumb. The cause is just. The enemy is in our
sights, and the provocation is extreme. Blood
races through tabloid veins. It is white feathers
for dissenters. The British government's evident
eagerness to bomb Iraq will be put by David
Cameron to the House of Commons on Friday. With
an election in the offing, Labour's Ed Miliband dares not disagree.
The prime minister's case, made to the United
Nations on Wednesday, is that the Islamic State
(Isis) rebellion is "an evil against which the
whole world must unite". No one would quarrel
with that. Unlike Cameron's abortive bid to bomb
Syria last year, legality is covered by an
invitation from Iraq's hapless rulers in Baghdad
and a refusal to bomb Syria. Past mistakes in
Iraq, says Cameron, should not be an excuse for
inaction. "We must not be so frozen with fear
that we do not do anything at all."
Nor should we be so intoxicated by war fever as
to do the wrong thing. Iraq has been chief bomb
target for western electoral machismo since Bill
Clinton's "Monica Lewinsky" air strikes in 1998.
They initiated a decade of mendacity. Saddam
Hussein's weapons arsenal was declared
eliminated, then it was not. After killing
hundreds of civilians, Tony Blair and his cabinet
declared that Iraq still posed "an imminent
threat to Britain". The subsequent war was said
to have installed freedom and democracy in that
country, another untruth. As the Royal United
Services Institute concluded in a recent survey,
far "from reducing international terrorism ... the
2003 invasion [of Iraq] had the effect of promoting it".
Those demanding a resumption of the bombing
should explain how things are different this time
- or be guilty of willing mission creep. So far
they could hardly be less convincing. An
indication is their resort to adjectival
hysteria, Isis being variously repulsive,
genocidal, atrocious, monstrous, unspeakable,
satanic. Everyone seems to accept that air
strikes "alone" cannot win. Yet everyone also
asserts that there is no question of following
them with ground attacks, which is the essence of
coordinated war. They are merely to "degrade Isis
assets", mostly by demolishing empty buildings at
vast expense. They are sending "a message" to someone or other.
Cameron's strategy is apparently to leave local
Iraqi forces to deliver victory. That might be
reasonable, given that they are the most
expensively trained troops on earth. But they
have shown themselves useless. They have been
given intensive bombing cover by the Americans
for seven weeks, and Isis is firmly in place.
Meanwhile, Cameron refuses to hold his nose and
form a tactically vital alliance with Assad of
Syria and with the Iranians. He appears not to want to win................
The return to war will reinforce the politics of
fear - which is the grimmest legacy of the Blair
era in Britain. It has Cameron popping in and out
of his Cobra bunker like a rabbit in a hole.
Every government office, every train, every
airport welcomes visitors to Britain with terror
warnings and alerts. Cameron does this because he
knows he can only get Britons to go to war by
portraying Isis as a "threat to Britain's
national security". Some Isis adherents may have
criminal intent, but that is a matter for the
police. Britain survived a far greater menace
from the IRA without crumbling. Its existence is
not threatened by jihadism. The claim is
ludicrous. Cameron must have no faith in his own country.
The contrast between Asia's eastern and western
extremities is now stark, the one booming, the
other descending into catastrophic instability
and medieval horror. It is impossible not to
relate this to two centuries of western
imperialism and meddling. It strains belief that
further intervention - through the crudest of all
forms of aggression - can bring peace and reconciliation.
Islam's wars are not Britain's business. We owe
their human victims all the aid we can to relieve
suffering. We do not owe them our incompetence in
trying to recast their politics. That is a task
for the Arabs and their neighbours, not for Britain's soldiers and taxpayers.

Please consider seriously the reason why these elite institutions are not discussed in the mainstream press despite the immense financial and political power they wield?
There are sick and evil occultists running the Western World. They are power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought. Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - Tony
