In Reversal, U.S. Will Shrink Massive Iraq Embassy
Post Date: 2012-02-07 19:03:22 by Brian S

The State Department plans to drastically reduce the size of its diplomatic mission in Iraq, a decision that reflects America's sharply diminished influence in the absence of troops. When President Barack Obama marked the departure of U.S. forces from Iraq in December, the State Department planned to maintain a presence of between 16,000 and 17,000 diplomatic personnel. But The New York Times reported on Tuesday that officials were planning to cut that number by as much as half, an acknowledgment of diplomats' limited effectiveness in a country that views the sustained American presence with suspicion and sometimes hostility. "The Department of State and the Embassy in ...

ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI - FOX2now.com)— It started as an idea on Facebook. But a grassroots effort with hardly any funding made history Saturday. St. Louis pulled off America's first parade welcoming our military men and women home from Iraq. “I woke up this morning and I was like, `It’s here! Today is here, it’s a wonderful day for St. Louis, a history making day,” said LaDonna Appelbaum. She is not a veteran. Her husband isn’t either. But together with Craig Schneider, these St. Louis friends did something no other city in America has done. They organized the “Welcome Home The Heroes From Iraq” parade.

US Weapons Caused Birth Defects in Fallujah

(Newser) – US weapons likely caused a horrifying spike in birth defects among the people of Fallujah, according to doctors and a recent study of hair samples. Evidence has long connected American white phosphorous and depleted uranium weapons to birth defects in the Iraqi city, which suffered devastating US attacks in 2004. But now a study of hair samples of parents with deformed children has detected uranium, a dangerous substance known to cause cancer, Al Jazeera reports. The numbers are staggering: a 12-fold rise in children's cancer in Fallujah since 2004; a birth defect rate of 14.7%, which dwarfs the rate of 1% to 2% after the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings.

New Book, Proof of Guilt: Bush's Iraq Murders, provides heavily documented Proof that candidate Bush adopted in 1999, and later executed, a neocon criminal war crime attack plan (Clean Break) against Iraq that resulted in his premeditated Murder of 4,450 U.S. soldiers and over 800,000 Iraqi civilians (mostly women and children), and critically wounded 650,000 U.S. soldiers: the majority of them for life.Arlington, VA (PRWEB) November 01, 2011 Richard Fults’ new book is titled Proof of Guilt: Bush’s Iraq Murders; Massive Cover-up, Unreported and Uninvestigated -- The True Story of the Worst Crime in American History.

COS KALSU, Iraq — At a US base south of Baghdad, trucks plod in either direction amid a hive of activity: with the clock ticking on a year-end withdrawal from Iraq, preparations are in full swing. Located in the centre of Iraq, just 50 kilometres (30 miles) south of the capital near the town of Iskandiriyah, Contingency Operating Site Kalsu forms a crucial transit hub for the tonnes of materiel and thousands of soldiers moving out of the country, mostly towards Kuwait, in the coming two months. The massive logistical operation has to be finished by December 31, in line with a security pact between Baghdad and Washington that US President Barack Obama said was on track this month. ...

I doubt that President Obama loves the name "Captain America," but that's the job he was elected to do in 2008. National security is the president's first job. But Obama has been by far the most catastrophic captain of the ship of state in American history in every conceivable way. The last two weeks have seen more dagger-stabs in the back to the Muslim Middle East: yes, Obama has tried shafting Israel over and over again, but also the much more fragile Saudis and Gulf oil states, a very vulnerable Egypt (by publicly endorsing overthrowing President Mubarak and supporting a Muslim Brothers grab for his office), Libya (which had abandoned its nuclear program after Bush ...

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pushed back on Republican critics — such as Lindsay Graham and John McCain — for slamming the Obama administration decision to pull all troops out of Iraq. On Meet The Press Sunday morning, the former New York senator told host David Gregory that GOP figures should have been vocal towards the last president’s decision and not the current one. “They should have raised those issues when President Bush agreed to the agreement to withdrawal troops by the end of this year,” she said. “I feel like this is a debate that is looking backwards instead of forward.” Clinton also said that Iraq withdrawal has been a ...
Obama: All U.S. Troops Out Of Iraq By Dec. 31. The War Will Finally Be Over

WASHINGTON--President Obama announced Friday that all U.S. troops will be out of Iraq by the end of the year. The significance: A centerpiece of Obama's presidential bid was his opposition to the authorization of the war in Iraq and a pledge to end the Iraqi war. That was a central distinction during the Democratic primary between Obama, then an Illinois state senator, and his chief rival, then Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), now the Secretary of State. Obama's announcement comes as the Iraqi government declined to clear the way for U.S. troops to remain. Obama in 2010 removed the combat troops and declared the combat mission over. From a White House official "Today the ...

The U.S. is abandoning plans to keep troops in Iraq past a year-end withdrawal deadline, according to The Associated Press, but Obama administration officials insist to Fox News that discussions with Iraqi leaders are "ongoing." For months, U.S. officials have been debating whether to stick to a Dec. 31 withdrawal deadline that was set in 2008 or negotiate a new security agreement to ensure that gains made and more than 4,400 American military lives lost since March 2003 do not go to waste. In recent weeks, Washington has been discussing with Iraqi leaders the possibility of several thousand American troops remaining to continue training Iraqi security forces. But a senior ...

WHEN I think of Iraq, I think of fire. First there is the obvious. With summer, the country becomes an inferno. The heat muscles its way past doors and windows, scoffs at fans, overpowers air conditioners and beats everyone senseless. Then there is the fire inside. Most Iraqis seem sleepy on first impression. They amble around sluggishly, leaden from the heat. But just mention politics, and suddenly they come to life. For Iraqis, politics is a blood sport played in a white-hot furnace. There are no half-held opinions. Every opponent is a lethal conspirator. Every conspiracy, a lethal threat. Every threat must be met with total force. The civil war that engulfed Iraq in 2005–2006 was ...
Iraq Threatens To Break Military Links With Us

Baghdad is threatening to break its military relations with Washington at the end of this year and use private contractors to train its armed forces, as the two sides struggle to agree on terms that would see a small number of American troops remain in Iraq next year. The two sides have agreed in principle that several thousand US troops should stay in Iraq in a training capacity after the official end of the American mission at the end of the year, but they have become bogged down over whether to grant US troops immunity from prosecution if they commit crimes. The Iraqi government was already training pilots with Lockheed Martin, from which Iraq recently bought F-16 jets, Ali al-Dabbagh, ...
Retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal: US Started Afghan War Lacking Info

A former top U.S. commander in Afghanistan says the U.S. military had a "frighteningly simplistic" understanding of Afghanistan when it invaded, and this helps explain why the war has lasted 10 years. Retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal said in remarks at the Council on Foreign Relations that the U.S. and its NATO allies are only a little more than 50 percent of the way to reaching their war goals. Of the remaining tasks to be accomplished, he said the most difficult may be creating a legitimate government that ordinary Afghans can believe in and that can serve as a counterweight to the Taliban. McChrystal, who commanded in 2009-10, said coalition forces entered Afghanistan in ...

Former Vice President Dick Cheney, along with his daughter Liz, praised President Barack Obama Sunday for the drone strike that killed Anwar al-Awlaki, but also said that the president owes the Bush administration an apology.
Dick Cheney called the killing of the U.S.-born al Qaida cleric in Yemen on Friday "a very good strike" and "justified" in an appearance on CNN's “State of the Union” Sunday.
But he also said Obama should take back his criticism of the Bush administration's tactics in the war on terrorism.

WASHINGTON — The nation’s top military official said Thursday that Pakistan’s spy agency played a direct role in supporting the insurgents who carried out the deadly attack on the American Embassy in Kabul last week. It was the most serious charge that the United States has leveled against Pakistan in the decade that America has been at war in Afghanistan. In comments that were the first to directly link the spy agency, the Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence, with an assault on the United States, Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, went further than any other American official in blaming the ISI for undermining the American effort in ...

WASHINGTON - A familiar group of mainly neo-conservative hawks, many of whom championed the 2003 invasion of Iraq, released an open letter to President Barack Obama Thursday urging him to retain a substantial military force in that Middle East country beyond this year. Released by the Foreign Policy Initiative (FPI), the successor organization of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) that championed the 2003 US invasion, the letter warns against reported plans by the administration to reduce Washington's troop presence to 4,000 after December 31, the date by which, according to a 2008 US-Iraqi agreement, all US forces are to be withdrawn. Washington has about 45,000 US ...

Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld isn't letting go of his talking points that support the U.S. invasion of Iraq following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Exactly 10 years after those attacks, Rumsfeld suggested to CNN's Fareed Zakaria Sunday that Iraq had been "hospitable" to al Qaeda before the U.S. invaded the country. "There's no question that al Qaeda and Zarqawi and people were in Iraq," Rumsfeld argued. "They aggregated there." "If we hadn't invaded, they wouldn't have been there," Zakaria pointed out. "We don't know that," Rumsfeld insisted. "You don't know that. I don't know ...

Conversing with Harold Macmillan, Churchill blurted: "Cromwell was a great man, wasn't he?" "Yes, sir, a very great man," Macmillan replied. "Ah, but he made one terrible mistake," Churchill continued. "Obsessed in his youth by fear of the power of Spain, he failed to observe the rise of France. Will that be said of me?" Yes, history will say that of Churchill, who in 1946 delivered his "Iron Curtain" speech in Fulton, Mo., to decry Stalin's ...

Fox News is reporting that President Barack Obama has decided to reduce the number of U.S. troops in Iraq to 3,000, and leave them in the country after the December 31st withdrawal deadline to provide additional assistance to the country. Under the status of forces agreement agreed to by President George W. Bush in 2008 and endorse by Obama, all U.S. troops were to leave country by the end of the year. The Iraqi government has requested that American forces stay after that date, as violence in that country has escalated in recent months. U.S. generals had requested nearly 27,000 troops to remain in Iraq to maintain stability — a number brought down to 10,000 and ultimately 3,000, ...

I haven’t really followed that situation closely enough.

Baghdad (CNN) -- More than a dozen bombing and shooting attacks struck Iraq Monday, killing at least 74 people and wounding 247, officials with Iraq's Interior Ministry said. It was the worst wave of violence to strike the country in months, taking place on the halfway mark of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. "Today's attacks are eerily similar to the stream of large scale, complex attacks that occurred here last year during Ramadan on Aug. 25," said Angela Funaro, spokeswoman for United States Forces-Iraq. Officials believe the attacks last year were perpetrated by al Qaeda in Iraq "to shake the public's confidence in the capabilities of the ISF (Iraqi ...

The year-end pullout of US forces will improve security in Iraq, Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi claimed Sunday, days after Iraqi leaders agreed to talk with Washington over a post-2011 training mission. Hashemi, a Sunni Muslim and one of two vice presidents whose positions are largely ceremonial, said a continued American military presence in Iraq would be "a problem, not a solution." He added that the US could provide training expertise for new defence equipment, but that other countries offered similar technology at lower prices.
