Edit:i found a post where i quote what i believe to be a vital bit of info that slipped out(via Joe Klein). i contend it is the details like this that can help break the fog of war.
People, in there rush to endlessly gather information tend to forget that in one brief moment that something truly vital comes and goes and it must be seized at that time and not let go.
i will proceed from this copy and paste and seek the actual date this appeared in TIME MAGAZINE.( the issue is from area of 9/27 and 9/14/ 2005--max)
One note, i was also reading at that time where Sunni Jihadist were being operated by Baathist, so we have U.S.+Baathist +Jihadists =s Civil War against Shi'ites(Remember Moqtada al Sadr was a dedicated Nationalist--i do not think heis anymore, he sees the reality now: but he has consistently accused U.S. being behind this Civil War)
It is only a matter of time U.S. forces concentrate of Sadrist, that they beieve are being armed by Iran.

Post #of 7797

these posts i made last year points to a possible smoking gun as to how deep are connection with the Baathist and the forces pushing to the make civil war.
But the story breaks for a moment into the press AND THEN VANISHES; that is NOT accidental.
<<
As i wrote earlier the #1 most powerful Baathist Sunni Muhammad Yunis al-Ahmed we not only know exactly where he lives in DAMASCUS but U.S. CIA/MI et al have his phone number and use it.
They also know when he enters Iraq to wheel and deal---we do not get in his way(:edit i add now--12/3/2006---- the fact is i should have written, we ASSIST his comings and goings--max).
Is the why curious? No, obvious, i dare say. Max>>
*************************************************************
i further quote regards the Time article
<<Of note because it is from a fellow that was quite pro-Iraq war and an apologist for Bush.
In other words a basic neo-con( and an irritant to i), Joe Klein has written an investigative war report that is extremely negative regards U.S.
It is in this weeks TIME.
It is too long to copy and paste, i am keeping issue( edit-12/3/2006--i oft have wild cleanings, thus i have major doubt i still have this--max) as it has some hard-core insider anonymous sources speaking out.
And very important info on what now appears to be the number one man behind the Baathist insurgency, both the leader and source of money and a confidante to Saddam Hussein.
A man the U.S. knows not only exactly where he lives in DAMASCUS but even has his phone number and uses it to talk with him.
His name,Muhahmmad Yunis al-Ahmed.>>

He played his video game night and day.
The MAZE of Death.
But that is the game we all are in, the trick, don't believe it.Get above it all and imagine nothing is what it seems.Kill the machine.otraque/akamax90

Crimson > This tyrannical regime that never lifted a finger to help the Palestinians over the decades now talking tough re:Iran.

True, but now that the shit can fall on them it's a different story.

>>After the meeting with Cheney, Saudi officials released an unusual statement pointedly highlighting American responsibility for deterioration of stability in the region.

The Saudi officials cited "the direct influence of … the United States on the issues of the region" and said it was important for U.S. influence "to be in accord with the region's actual condition and its historical equilibrium," an apparent reference to the Sunni-Shiite balance.

The Saudi statement also said the U.S. in the Middle East should "pursue equitable means that contribute to ending its conflicts," pointing to the Israeli-Palestinian situation.

The statement "came pretty close to a rebuke, by Saudi standards," said Charles W. Freeman Jr., a former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia. "It said, in effect, that the United States needs to behave responsibly."

There have been other signals of Saudi anxiety recently.

On Wednesday, an advisor to the Saudi government wrote in the Washington Post that if the United States pulled out of Iraq, "massive Saudi intervention" would ensue to protect Sunnis from Shiite militias. <<
