Friends, From what I've been able to gather, the U.S. plans for Iraq - apart from controlling the oil and building permanent military bases for use as a launching pad - involve splitting Iraq into independent, ethnically oriented provinces - i.e., a balkanization agenda. In order to move toward that objective, intelligence operatives (American, British, and Israeli) are trying to stir up ethnic conflict in Iraq. They do this by selectively assisting insurgent groups, and by blowing up civilians and Iraqi security forces, and then blaming these actions on 'suicide bombers'and this evidently non-existent character called Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. These destabilization operations serve the dual purpose of misrepresenting the nature of the Iraqi resistance to American audiences. Back in May, I posted an article about an Iraqi whose car was impounded by American forces, and then returned to him loaded with explosives. He was instructed to drive to an Iraqi police station, where presumably the car would be remotely detonated, and voila, another 'suicide bomber'. This particular driver was lucky - he recognized that his car was handling irregularly, and found the explosives before the plan could go through: http://rense.com/general65/strat2.htm (This is similar to the scenario that I suspect was used in the London Underground bombings, where knapsacks were booby trapped instead of an automobile.)
