14 Iraqis Killed in War Attacks, Israelis Active
in Iraq, Obama Reiterates Pledge to Withdraw US Forces, According to
July 22, 2008 News Reports
Editor's Note:
Only God knows how many Iraqis are killed everyday.
The following represents part of the reporting but readers are advised
that the actual number of deaths should very much exceed what's
reported.
Concerning deaths of US soldiers, only those US
citizens who die in Iraq are included in the statistics. There are no
published statistics about US soldiers who die of their injuries after
that. There are no published statistics about the deaths or injuries of
the private army soldiers (security contractors), or about those without
US citizenship.
It is noteworthy that May 20, 2008 news reports showed
that death squads which execute Iraqis on daily basis are no longer
hiding themselves. Previously, Sunni leaders pointed to Mahdi Army and
Badr militiamen as the perpetrators. Now, death squads are composed of
the US-recruited Sahwa fighters and policemen (which is an opportunity
for US forces command to sever relations with these fighters).
Despite the fact that there are scores of
organizations involved in the Iraq war, the Iraqi government officials
prefer to refer to them as Alqaeda gunmen for propaganda purposes, as
mentioned in the June 4, 2008 news report. For accuracy purposes, the
term "Alqaeda gunmen" may be replaced with "Iraqi fighters."
============================
Yaqen.net reported the following news:
- A US-recruited Sahwa fighter
killed a fighter of his group and injured four others in Samarra.
- US-backed prime minister, Maliki, told Senator Barack Obama that
he supports his plan to withdraw US combat forces by 2010.
- An Iraqi journalist, Souran Mama
Hama, was killed in Kirkuk.
- 5 US-recruited Sahwa fighters
were killed, four were injured north of Ba'aqouba, as a result of a
suicide bombing of a
tractor filled with watermelons. Two
more people were killed in the explosion.
- A senior police officer
was killed, four were injured in a Kirkuk roadside bombing.
- US-backed president of the Iraqi autonomous region of Kurdistan
pleaded with the US ambassador, Croaker, for the US to establish
permanent military basis in the Iraqi Kurdish autonomous region.
The Iraq News Agency (INA) reported on an interview
published by Al-Watan in Arabic with the Chairman of the Iraq Studies
Center, Muhammed Sadeq Al-Hashimi. He pointed that the private US army in Iraq,
known as Black Water is supervised and directed by the
Israeli intelligence agency called Mossad.
He also said that the two persons who were caught by Iraqi police in
September 2005 driving a car bomb were not British soldiers. Rather,
they were two Israeli Mossad agents wearing Arab uniform.
The
British forces did everything to free them before they would be
interrogated by Iraqi police, which shows how the British occupation
forces ultimately work for Israel.

various times.

واع / مدير مركز
العراق للدراسات : شركة «بلاك ووتر» الأميركية
يديرها الموساد الإسرائيلي
2008-07-22 7:22:21 AM
|
|
أثناء زيارته إلى دمشق التقت «الوطن» الدكتور محمد صادق الهاشمي مدير
مركز العراق للدراسات، وحاورته حول العديد من المسائل التي تشغل بال
العراقيين والعرب بدءاً من الاتفاقية الأمنية- الأميركية- العراقية
المشتركة التي دار الحديث عنها وصولاً إلى مستقبل العراق في ضوء
الانتخابات الرئاسية في الولايات المتحدة مروراً بالتغلغل الإسرائيلي
في أرض الرافدين. وفيما يلي نص الحوار:
ما تقييمك لردود الفعل العراقية تجاه الاتفاقية
الأمنية الأميركية-العراقية المشتركة التي دار الحديث عنها؟
يمكن القول: إن ردود الفعل كانت على المستوى الذي يلبي طموح الشعب العراقي،
وقد جاءت هذه الردود الرافضة لاتفاقية كهذه من المرجعيات الدينية العليا،
ومن الحركات والأحزاب والمكونات الأساسية للحكومة، وقد صدرت عن المرجعية
الدينية العليا محاذير دفعت في اتجاه منع أي معاهدة تمس سيادة العراق
وتجعله منطلقاً، من خلال بناء القواعد الأميركية، لضرب دول الجوار، كذلك
صدرت مواقف جيدة بهذا الخصوص من السيد الحائري والسيد مقتدى الصدر وهيئة
علماء المسلمين. أما بالنسبة للأحزاب العراقية فأستطيع أن أقول إن أغلبيتها
قد تحفظت على البنود التي تمس سيادة العراق، وفيما يتعلق بالحكومة فقد رفضت
أربع مسودات قدمها المفاوض الأميركي، والموقف إلى الآن بالنسبة للحكومة هو
رفض التوقيع على اتفاقية تسمح ببقاء القوات الأميركية في العراق دون قيد،
ودون تحديد السقف الزمني لبقائها، كما اعترضت الحكومة على إعطاء الحصانة
للقوات الأميركية، ورفضت سائر الامتيازات التي طالبت أميركا بها. وطبعاً
هناك بعض المواقف التي تخالف هذا التوجه العراقي العام وتنطلق من حسابات
تتعلق بمصالح فئوية، ورغم ذلك أستطيع أن أقول: إن الموقف الداخلي العراقي
يتأثر إيجاباً بالموقف الإقليمي الرافض للاتفاقية لكونها تشكل خطراً على
العراق والمنطقة.
رغم هذا التقييم المتفائل ألا تتخوف من بروز طرف عراقي يوقع على
المعاهدة؟
لا يجرؤ في الوقت الراهن أي عراقي على توقيع اتفاقية مع الأميركيين وذلك
إذا أخذنا بالحسبان موقف الشعب العراقي الرافض للاحتلال والمقاوم لوجوده
على أرض الرافدين، وهو موقف جماهيري لا يقبل بأقل من وضع سقوف محددة للقوات
الأميركية بغية ترحيلها. ومن يجرؤ من الحكومة على توقيع معاهدة أو اتفاقية
تأتي على ذبح المنطقة وتهدد مصالحها الاقتصادية والسياسية والأمنية، وخاصة
أن سقوف المطالب الأميركية تنذر بشر مستطير لدول الجوار.
حملت الكثير من المقالات والتعليقات في الصحف والمواقع الإلكترونية
سواء كانت عراقية أم عربية معلومات كثيرة حول التغلغل الإسرائيلي في
العراق، فما صحة هذه المعلومات؟
إذا نظرنا إلى موضوع الحضور الإسرائيلي في العراق نظرة سطحية بأن نبحث عن
مكتب مكتوب عليه عبارات تشير إلى أنه تابع لشركة أو جهة إسرائيلية فلن نجد
ذلك، لكن إذا دققنا في الإستراتيجية العامة التي تجمع أميركا وإسرائيل
فإننا سننتقل من التحليل إلى وقائع وحقائق تعد بالعشرات كشفت عن وجود 340
شركة مارست عملها من خلال شركات عربية وعراقية باعت ضميرها للأجنبي، وهناك
شركات إسرائيلية تعمل بغطاء شركات أوروبية وأميركية، واتخذت صوراً متعددة
مثل مؤسسات تقديم الإعانات ومراكز الدراسات وشركات الاستثمار، وأبناء بغداد
يعرفون بشكل دقيق تحركات هؤلاء ومكاتبهم وسياراتهم ويكفي هنا أن نشير إلى
أن الجنديين اللذين ألقي القبض عليهما في البصرة عام 2005 كانا إسرائيليين
توفر لهما القوات البريطانية الحماية، ويقومان بمهمات استطلاع تخريب وزرع
عبوات نافسة، وكانا يرتديان الزي العربي الجنوبي، ويذكر أيضاً أن المعلومات
عن شركة بلاك ووتر أنها تُمول وتُدار من قبل الموساد، وأن المعهد الجمهوري
يُدار من قبل إسرائيل، وقد أصدر مركز العراق للدراسات كتاباً اسمه (الدور
الصهيوني في احتلال العراق) كشف عن 137 وثيقة أكدت التدخل الإسرائيلي في
العراق.
هل تعتقد أن هناك راهناً في العراق مناخات تجعل العقول والخبرات
العراقية تساهم في تنمية بلدهم؟
التنمية في مختلف مجالاتها وحتى النفسية والاجتماعية مرتبطة بعوامل
الاستقرار الأمني. وعندما توجد الحرية ورأس المال ومؤسسات صحيحة فهي تخدم
العقول، وتساهم في تنفيذ السياسات المقترحة، في ظروف كهذه تستطيع العقول أن
تنمو، لكن في بلد محتل، تُقتل فيه العقول يتعطل الإبداع، وظرف العراق عطل
التنمية، بما فيها البشرية والعلمية، وهذا الأمر أنا لا أدعيه فأنا على
تماس يومي مع جامعات العراق، وإن شكواهم وظروفهم تكشف تعطيلاً كاملاً لهذه
العقول.
طرح في العراق ملف الشركات الأمنية الأميركية الخاصة مثل بلاك ووتر
التي ذكرت أنها تدار من الموساد الإسرائيلي ماذا بخصوص عمل هذه الشركات
حالياً؟
من الخطأ الاعتقاد أن برايمر قد حكم العراق لمدة سنة واحدة، فبرايمر أسس
قانون ترك بصمات على العراق ستمتد آثاره لسنوات طويلة، لعقود، وربما لقرون،
فقد فرض نظريته ورأيه في مختلف المجالات في السياسة والاقتصاد وتشكيل
الحكومة، وأوجد قوانين في المجالات المختلفة منها القانون رقم 17 النافذ
إلى الساعة (مع وجود الدستور) وهو القانون الذي يعطي حصانة للجيش الأميركي
وللشركات المتعاقدة معه، لذا وفق هذا القانون فإن حكومة ووزارات ومؤسسات
العراق لا تعلم بعدد هذه الشركات وطبيعة عملها، ودخولها وخروجها وسائر
تفاصيل عملها، وأبرز هذه الشركات «بلاك ووتر» التي تؤمن الحماية للمسؤولين
الأميركيين.
ومن المضحك المبكي أن هذه الشركات قتلت 17 عراقياً ولم يستطع القضاء
والحكومة أن يقاضيا الشركة أو يجبراها على دفع تعويض أو «دية»، كما يقال
عندنا، لهؤلاء الأبرياء في الوقت الذي عوضت شركة «بلاك ووتر» لسيدة أميركية
قتل كلبها برصاصة خطأ أثناء التدريب بمبلغ 25 مليون دولار.
إزاء هذا الوضع في العراق، ما دور مراكز الدراسات ووسائل الإعلام الوطنية
في عملية جلاء المحتل ومقاومته؟
إن الدور الحقيقي للإعلام ومراكز الدراسات هو الدور الوطني الشريف، وهو
تعبئة الشعب للنهوض بمقاومة مستمرة لترحيل آخر جندي من العراق. فلا يمكن
لأي ثورة أن تؤدي دورها بفعالية سواء أكانت عسكرية أم سلمية، سواء اتخذت
طابع الكفاح المدني أم حرب العصابات والكفاح المسلح، ما لم تمد بالوعي.
الوعي يخلق البندقية لذا ورد عن النبي (ص) «إن مداد العلماء أفضل من دماء
الشهداء».
ما الذي يمكن أن تراه في المشروعات الموجودة راهناً في العراق؟
في العراق هناك ثلاثة مشروعات:
1- المشروع السياسي الممثل بالدستور.
2- مشروع حكومي يتمثل بالحكومات التي تأتي نتيجة الدستور.
3- مشروع أميركي ممثل بالسفارة الأميركية وجيش الاحتلال وقواعده
وإستراتيجية الولايات المتحدة.
وهنا لا أريد أن أشكك بالحكومة أو بالدستور، أريد أن أتحدث كلاماً علمياً،
ما الذي يستطيع أن يفعله الحكام والحكومة، وما الذي يستطيع أن يفعله أو
يحققه الدستور إذا كانت الإرادة الأميركية هي الأقوى؟ وقد يتصور القارئ أن
هذا تحليل أو افتراض، لكن هذا ما عكسته الأحداث منذ احتلال العراق في عام
2003 حتى اللحظة، فطوال هذه السنوات شهدت الساحة العراقية فيتو مطلقاً لا
مثيل له من قبل الأميركيين على المشروعين السياسي والحكومي وتصرفت على نحو
يكشف بشكل أكيد أن السفارة الأميركية تدير البلاد بشكل علني ولا تحتاج إلى
تبرير أو غطاء.
لكن ماذا بالنسبة لمشروع المقاومة؟
المشروع الحقيقي الذي يعطي للحكومة حرمتها، ويجعلها معبرة عن آمال وطموحات
الشعب العراقي هو مشروع المقاومة بكل أشكالها، وعلى الحكومة أن تحدد في أي
حيز تقع، وفي أي جهة تنتمي، هل هي مع مشروع الشعب العراقي المقاوم للاحتلال
والرافض له أم إنها في الموقع الآخر؟ يجب عليها أن تحدد هذا الأمر وخاصة أن
لا إمكانية للحياد والوقوف في الوسط.
بعد أشهر ستجري الانتخابات الرئاسية الأميركية فكيف تنظر إلى
احتمالات فوز الديمقراطي باراك أوباما أو الجمهوري جون ماكين على مستقبل
العراق؟
كنت قد عقدت ندوة في القاهرة اختصت بهذا الموضوع، وهل هناك اختلاف في وجهات
النظر بين الديمقراطيين والجمهوريين بخصوص العراق؟ وهل يترتب على وصول أي
منهما أثر يساهم في ترحيل القوات العراقية أو تقليصها أو الانسحاب التام؟..
الذي توصلنا إليه هو أن هناك في المجتمع الأميركي أصواتاً تملك إحساساً
إنسانياً وضميراً حراً، وتدرك خطر الإستراتيجية الأميركية التي يقودها
الجمهوريون، وهذا لا نقاش فيه، إلا أن النقاش والاختلاف هو حول هل يستطيع
الديمقراطيون إن حكموا أن يتخذوا قرارات مهمة لتعديل الإستراتيجية
الأميركية.. أعتقد شخصياً أن القرار الرسمي هو ما تسنده اللوبيات الكبرى في
الولايات المتحدة، ومن ورائها إسرائيل، وهو يسير في اتجاه إبقاء هذه
الإستراتيجية، وإن عدلت فإن التعديل لا يمس الجوهر، أما إذا انتصرت إرادة
الشعب الأميركي على اللوبيات ومراكز القرار فإن ثمة تغييراً سيحدث وإنني
أراهن على الزمن الطويل بأنه كفيل بتعديل هذه السياسة.
