It is curious how “unidentified” or “previously unknown”
terrorist groups kidnap American journalists and Quaker peaceniks and then make
impossible demands. Jill Carroll, a Christian Science Monitor journalist,
was kidnapped as she left the office of Adnan al-Dulaimi, a Sunni politician
and Secretary-General of the Iraqi People’s Conference. It should be noted
that the Iraqi People’s Conference, as part of the al-Tawafuk Front, has
called for the abrogation of the Iraqi “elections” because they
consider the American stage managed plan a “conspiratorial project,”
an obvious set-up for the Shia to control Iraqi politics. “Sunni leader
Saleh al-Mutlaq… warned against the eruption of a civil war if the Shiite
parties monopolize the authority, noting that he has evidence that a great deal
of fraud took place in the elections,” the Arab
News reported last December. Several days later, Carroll was abducted as
she went to interview al-Dulaimi. “This act has hurt me and makes me sad because the journalist was trying
to meet me when she was kidnapped. After she left my office because she was
unable to meet me, she was kidnapped 300 meters from my office,” al-Dulaimi
said on January 20, two days after a video of Carroll appeared on al-Jazeera
(the silent video was delivered with an accompanying message demanding all female
Iraqi prisoners be released, a demand the United States will never accede to
in a month of Sundays). “We are against violence by any group, and we
call the government and U.S. forces to stop raiding houses, arresting women.
I call upon the kidnappers to immediately release this reporter who came here
to cover Iraq’s news and defending our rights,” a demand that will
of course be ignored since kidnapping Iraqis, including women and children,
throwing them in torture and rape gulags, is how the United States does business
in Iraq. It is the height of absurdity to believe they will stop in order to
save the life of a journalist, especially a journalist who talks with the Sunnis,
who of course are to be marginalized in an ethnically divided Iraq (after a
bloody civil war now brewing) and locked in their own Bantustan in and around
Baghdad, impoverished and abused, as are the Palestinians by the Israelis (in
fact, the United States has adopted the Israeli template for dealing harshly
with recalcitrant Sunni Arabs). Considering the fact bona fide resistance groups realize abducting
journalists and Quaker peaceniks is seriously counterproductive, we can conclude
Jill Carroll was kidnapped by a black op pseudo-gang run out of the Pentagon.
As an example of how sincere resistance groups operate, consider the tactics
of Hamas and Hezbollah—both resistance groups kidnap Israeli soldiers
“as bargaining chips” and rarely take civilians captive (although
an Israeli businessman, Elhanan Tannenbaum, was abducted in October 2000). In
January, 2004, “Israel released more than 400 prisoners, the vast majority
Palestinians, in exchange for an Israeli businessman and the bodies of three
Israeli soldiers,” according to the Associated
Press. In Lebanon, Hezbollah occasionally kidnaps and executes Israeli soldiers,
actions disapproved by the United Nations and the international community (it
should be noted that Israel’s theft of Lebanese and Syrian land is also
disapproved by the United Nations and the international community). Obviously, we are expected to believe the Iraqi resistance, under the guise
of never heard of before terrorist groups, is unable to learn tactical lessons
from the Palestinians and Lebanese. Instead, we are to believe, with the complicity
of the corporate media, that the resistance consists of “terrorists”
and blood-thirsty Arabs and crazed Muslims interested in killing as many innocent
people as possible (a stereotype based on the mythical creation of Abu Musab
al-Zarqawi). It should be clear what is going on here—fake terrorist groups,
long ago trail blazed by British General Frank Kitson, and used effectively
in Kenya, Rhodesia, and Northern Ireland, are operating in Iraq to discredit
the legitimate resistance, engaged in entirely legitimate paramilitary operations
against U.S. troops. As well, the timing of the shadowy terrorist group’s proclamation that
they will execute Carroll is fishy—it comes precisely as Muslims, outraged
by the Straussian neocon engineered cartoon fiasco, are grabbing headlines as
they burn embassies and riot across the Muslim world. All of this is engineered
to convince western societies in America and Europe that Muslims are crazed,
irrational, and murderous, and we must unite to fight them before they invade
us, determined to either convert or slaughter us in numbers. Unfortunately,
the murder of Jill Carroll, as the murder of the CARE International aid worker
Margaret Hassan, will buttress the Straussian neocon message that we have no
choice but to start “world war four” against the Islamic world,
a conflict promised to last a hundred years or more, and consume what remains
of our treasure and damage and decimate generations of young to come.
