Iraqi parliament demands U.S. withdrawal
7/22/2006 1:00:00 PM GMT

"What has been done in Iraq is a kind of butchery of the Iraqi people," Mashhadani said


Iraq's parliament speaker Mahmoud Mashhadani slammed the U.S. invading Army over civilian deaths in Iraq, accusing the American troops of "butchery" and demanding an immediate end to the occupation of the country.

"Just get your hands off Iraq and the Iraqi people and Muslim countries, and everything will be all right," Mashhadani said during a speech at the opening of a UN-sponsored conference on transitional justice and reconciliation in Baghdad, attended by UN officials, foreign experts, Iraqi politicians and civil society representatives.

"What has been done in Iraq is a kind of butchery of the Iraqi people," he said.

Yesterday the U.S. occupation forces killed six Iraqi civilians, including two women and a young girl, during a raid on a building the U.S. troops claimed they thought was “a suspected insurgent hideout”.

The attack, which took place in Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, also wounded 20 other people.

Residents accused the U.S. Army of excessive force, saying there was no need to fire missiles, bombs or artillery shells at residential areas.

“They demolished three houses with children in them just because they wanted two insurgents?’’ asked Raad Dahlaki, chief of the municipal council in Baqouba. “Why couldn’t they just detain the men?”

Lt. Col. Barry Johnson, a U.S. military spokesman, said American forces used “aerial fires'’ to attack a number of houses in Baqouba after they were shot at from rooftops.

Mashhadani, a member of the main Sunni Arab parliamentary bloc, the National Concord Front, a member of Maliki's national unity government, further accused the U.S. soldiers of keeping Iraqis waiting at checkpoints for long hours do give a chance for their bomb-sniffing dogs get some rest.

"The sleep of American dogs is more important than people being stopped in the street for hours," he said.

Meanwhile, top U.S. commander for the Middle East, Gen. John P. Abizaid, announced plans for deploying additional troops to Iraq.

It hasn’t been made clear yet if the recent surge of what the media refers to as “sectarian attacks” will result in the U.S. commanders’ modification of their plans for troop reductions.

Mahmud Dawud al-Mashhadani is een politicus en voorzitter van de INA. Als luitenant in het Irakese leger uitte hij kritiek op Irakees oorlogvoeren met Iran. Hij werd daarvoor tot een gevangenisstaf veroordeeld. Als er niet was omgekocht, zou hij de doodstraf hebben gekregen.
In juli 2006 zei hij op de Al-Sharariqiyah tv dat het moorden en kidnappen in zijn land de schuld was van "de joden, Israel en de Zionisten…..die Irakees geld en olie gebruiken om de Islamitische Beweging in Irak te frustreren." Hij zei dat de daders linken hadden met de Mossad en orders ontvingen uit Tel Aviv….

Een lichtelijk voorbeeld van complottheoretisch denken. En nu denkt hij dat wanneer de VS weggaat alle broeders in vrede en harmonie zullen samenleven? Goedgelovig is hij wel.

Het was en is het ''argument'' van iedere kolonisator en bezetter;

''zonder onze aanwezigheid gaat het land naar de hel''; (alsof Irak al geen hel op aarde is; en het wordt met het uur grimmiger!)

Ik kan geen kolonisatie of bezetting noemen waar dit argument niet gebruikt is.

Stom dat ze zulke ''afwegingen'' nooit bijvoorbaat gemaakt worden; scheelt een hoop bloed, ellende en onherstelbare vernietiging.


Liberty and democracy become unholy when their hands are dyed red with innocent blood.
