‘Spectacular attack’ expected in Iraq in coming weeks.
By on Aug 25th, 2007 at 12:14 pm
‘Spectacular attack’ expected in Iraq in coming weeks.
Today, the Washington Post reports that despite political pressure, the Bush administration “hopes to keep in place its existing military strategy and troop levels there after the mid-September report” by the White House. Several administration officials said that they “expect the insurgents to attempt a spectacular attack in the next several weeks.”
UPDATE: The NY Times reports, however, “administration officials said Mr. Bush was acutely aware that some reduction next year would be required, and they said he planned to use next month’s debate to outline a plan for gradual troop reductions.”

More false flag crap.
August 25th, 2007 at 12:16 pmOr, they’ll just play up the next big sectarian flare up and tell us “told you so”…
Will they attack us with the weapons we can’t account for? Sheer f**king madness!
August 25th, 2007 at 12:18 pmThey will attack us there with the weapons we took there.
August 25th, 2007 at 12:22 pmStating the obvious to seem prophetic to their bootlickers and dupes.

August 25th, 2007 at 12:24 pmStraight from the War Room!
August 25th, 2007 at 12:25 pmSo win the war already, nitwit. My God, you have the best funded, most technologically advanced military machine in the history of the gd world. What the f-ck is wrong with you??
August 25th, 2007 at 12:26 pm“Several administration officials ” would be Larry, Moe and Curly?
August 25th, 2007 at 12:27 pmWould this upcoming “spectacular attach” be something comparable to a “Tet Offensive”? Ha-ha-ha –funny NOT!!!!!!!!!
August 25th, 2007 at 12:30 pmofficials said that they “expect the insurgents to attempt a spectacular attack in the next several weeks.â€
jeez… sounds like those officials have some kind of inside info…
August 25th, 2007 at 12:30 pmhmmm… imagine that…
…
500+ dead Yesidi wasn’t spectacular??? Of course the “insurgents” will try to influence public opinion and politics in the US by letting as much blood as possible. But this is just another argument for immediate redeployment. Without US troops in Iraq, things would most probably calm down. Al-Qaeda in Iraq( horrible name, sounds like a branch of McD’s) is hated by the Iraqis. But Iraqis hate US troops even more. Without your soldiers there wouldn’t be that twisted rationale for terror, that keeps the insurgent/terrorist whatever doing their attacks.
If the US troops leave Iraq, your soldiers would be out of harm’s way and the Iraqis would be safer.
August 25th, 2007 at 12:32 pm“in the next several weeks†might exactly be 9/11??

good guess… i don’t bet, but if i did…
August 25th, 2007 at 12:33 pm…
Now the White House is trying to spin things before they happen. Any major attack now will be discounted and chalked up to an attempt to thwart the Chimp’s iron will. It will be spun as a last act of desperation and a sign that the insurgents are losing.
Bush cabinet meeting:
Chimp: what if things start getting worse towards the end of summer?
Cheney: we’ll just spin it as a sign that we’re winning and the surge is working.
August 25th, 2007 at 12:35 pmShock & awe in reverse, Hoping to ignite support from US population for hideous failed policy of pre-emptive war and unwanted occupation of a country in civil war. Must keep the war profiteer gravy train running as long as W still in office. Only cure is impeachment, incarceration followed by confiscation of Crawford property to become a home for veterans trying to return to civil life.
August 25th, 2007 at 12:35 pmGee, big attack in the next few weeks — is that kind of like the attack on Washington that was going to happen that Trent Lott suggested every Congressman would want to get out of DC for, right before Bush pushed for his unconstitutional spy bill?
Their playbook is so freaking predictable — they’ll just hold the threat of an attack out there to give Bush another six months to stay the course
August 25th, 2007 at 12:36 pmA “spectacular attack” could be used to justify a further escalation.
Which will be used to justify a draft.
Which will provide the troops necessary to invade Iran and/or Syria.
Which will necessitate further escalations.
Which will add to the War Profiteers coffers.
The employment field with the greatest growth over the next 2 years may well be funeral directors.
August 25th, 2007 at 12:37 pmAnother 125 were killed right after Yezidi on Aug. 19th. Not spectacular enough?
I guess that attack wasn’t at the ’shock and awe’ level of spectacular-ness for our joke of an administration.
August 25th, 2007 at 12:38 pmSad joke of an administration.
August 25th, 2007 at 12:40 pmNews Flash:
Sometime over the next six months, violence in Iraq will surge!
Therefore, we’ll need to stay at least another six month to make sure Iraqis are safe.

August 25th, 2007 at 12:43 pmBush might set fire to the Oil fields

For the life of me I don’t understand why the Reptards don’t get it that the people of Iraq don’t want us there. And the only reason why the Maliki government wants us there is because we are free protection for their government. The Iraqi Parliament, the one body that most represents the people of Iraq, want us to leave and the people of Iraq want us to leave, so why are we still there?

You mean cooperating and picking up their freedom like the native americans did? If you want to look for historical precedence, look at your own past. I’ll bet that Iraqis don’t want the same fate. Why you believe that the US was justified in their actions amazes me and more so that you don’t understand the Iraqis reaction. How is that bliss going for you anyway ’cause your ignorance is clear.
August 25th, 2007 at 1:16 pm“#Never Blame Iraqis for choosing to become the insurgency, rather than cooperating and picking up their freedom.”
You call being occupied and subjugated by another country freedom? You call having another country try to steal the one natural resource you need to support your country freedom? Well the Iraqi’s don’t consider that to be freedom and that is why the insurgency exists.
Would you tolerate China occupying the USA and subjugating us? Or would you fight back and try to drive China out of our country?

August 25th, 2007 at 1:22 pmThe wingnuts expected the Iraqis to passively accept an occupation of their country and appropriation of their resources. The Iraqis were supposed to be out in the street throwing flowers at the American troops and cheerfully turning into Indiana.
Of course, if the troops had been in sufficient numbers, and given the orders necessary to secure the ammo dumps, hospitals, water and electrical infrastructure, the Bush administration might have been able to pull this off — always assuming the Kurds didn’t use the invasion as a long-desired excuse to pull out of “Iraq” and the Shiites didn’t use the invasion as an opportunity to finally get some of the wealth and power that they’d been denied since the Ottomans and the Sunnis were willing to simply give up all their advantages . . . it might have worked.

Does anyone fail to see the parallel between arming both sides of the Iran/Iraq war (and later using the dead to justify invasion), with allowing thousands of arms and tons of munitions to fall into enemy hands, and then predicting a spectacular attack?

August 25th, 2007 at 1:42 pmSadly, 9/11 did change everything….it made the American people (and the media, and the politicians) afraid. Our country was given a bloody, devastating attack and it’s people were told by this administration to go shopping and DON”T QUESTION WHAT WE WILL DO OR YOU WILL BE CALLED TRAITORS. So we allowed the Bushies to do what they wanted, we believed what they told us, and as along as another major attack does not happen on our soil, we are willing and eager to turn a blind eye to the thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians that have been killed.
Like Rome before us, we are doomed.

Everyone in the admin now emulates Reagan: corrupt, traitorous, and using an alzheimer-like defense to escape accoutability.

Must be Cheney/Halliburton trolls. You know, get 1/1,000,000 of what you pay for on a no-bid contract and then give them more no-bid contracts and expect better results.
August 25th, 2007 at 2:11 pmWe need more time….this is a delicate balancing act. Where on one hand Bushco try and foster the creation of a ‘form of government’ that is created from the bottom-up (starting on the provincial/tribal level) while desperately trying to maintain a national governing ’structure’ that will remain relevant and operational, but at the same time not dominating the political landscape?
All the while being vigilant for that ‘key’ time period where both the national and local stratum can ‘merge’ into the much-vaunted ‘Iraqi style democracy’. While simultaneously managing the conflict between Sunni and Shiite which permeate and affect the operation and growth of the national governing structure b/c of the legitimate self-interest both parties have if the proverbial sh*t hits the fan and uncontrollable civil war breaks out, thereby rendering the whole process moot anyway. It tenuous, but better than the alternative at this point.
Unfortunately during all of this during all of this Bushco decides to just tell the citizenry a complete fallacy in terms of what’s going on, their ‘actual’ foreign policy being implemented and in order to continue having the support of the electorate for their stated policy (surge, clear hold…, stay the course etc) lie, obfuscate and spin to buy the public policy the time to allow their true policy time to actually run its course from the bottom up….apparently.

I love your outrage and summary!
However, we will not have a draft under GW Botch. It will not pass the Congress without a grass-roots fight and Botch will veto anything that passes because his useless daughters would have to serve if all things in the draft are fair.
In fact, the only fair draft is the Israeli model where EVERONE must serve. No exceptions and no exemptions. The rich can’t opt out, the connected can’t opt out, the religious can’t opt out, the infirm can’t opt out, etc. Everyone can do something for their country. Right?
Or, we can go back to the insidious system of the past where only the poor or unlucky where forced to serve.
August 25th, 2007 at 3:13 pmI thought there WAS a religious exemption in Israel, and that it is a source of friction between orthodox Jews and other Israelis.
August 25th, 2007 at 3:22 pmAlso, I believe Arab Muslim Israelis ( yes…they exist) are exempt…but lose some of their rights as citizens of Israel.
In any case, the surge will end in April because recruitment has fallen short of it’s goals and we won’t have to troops to sustain it.
Bush is unlikely to reduce troops. If he were Sen. Warner wouldn’t have been attacked for his honest and welcome views. Our military can do nothing more for the Iraqis. Bush can no longer defeat the insurgency. His only option is to get out and push for diplomacy and political reconciliation.
August 25th, 2007 at 5:34 pmThis is great. TP is actually wet over the idea of a full scale attack to slaughter our troops in Iraq. Way to help the enemy.

However, we will not have a draft under GW Botch. It will not pass the Congress without a grass-roots fight and Botch will veto anything that passes because his useless daughters would have to serve if all things in the draft are fair.

The U.S. isn’t even ready for the draft we’ve had in the past, yet we are going to draft women if it is reinstated? Yeah, that’ll happen. ;)
