US Military Forces Prepare To Overthrow Iraqi Government In Coup Attempt

"Iraqi army officers are reportedly planning to stage a military coup with U.S. help to oust the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
Cairo-based Iraqi and Arab sources said Monday several officers visited Washington recently for talks with U.S. officials on plans for replacing Maliki's administration by a "national salvation" government with the mission to re-establish security and stability in Iraq.
One Iraqi source told United Press International that the Iraqi army officers' visit to the United States was aimed at coordinating the military coup in case the efforts of Maliki's government to restore order reached a dead end.
He said among the prominent officers were the deputy chief of staff, a Muslim Shiite, the intelligence chief, a Sunni, and the commander of the air force, a Kurd. It is believed the three would constitute the nucleus of the next government after the army takes over power.
The proposed plan, according to the source, stipulates that the new Iraqi army, with the assistance of U.S. forces, will take control of power, suspend the constitution, dissolve parliament and form a new government. The military will also take direct control of the various provinces and the administration after imposing a state of emergency."
According to these reports, United States Military Leaders have become alarmed over the Iraqi Governments numerous agreements signed with Iran that would eliminate any chance of the Iraqi Nation being divided up into Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish protectorates, with the emphasis being upon the United States desire to create a separate Nation for the Kurdish peoples they intend on naming Kurdistan.
Both Turkey, Iran and Syria have voiced strong International protests to the creation of a Kurdish state, with Turkey and Iran both vowing to prevent such a state from forming, even by military means and outright invasion of the Kurdish areas of Iraq.
To the United States, however, the full implementation of their ‘Grand Game’ plan for the Middle East cannot go forward without a separate Kurdish nation, and if lost to them would cut this Western Power off from controlling the vast oil and gas resources of the Caspian Sea Region.
In preparation for the expected United States coup against the Iraqi government, Iran’s Supreme Leader issued a warning to his people, and the Arab world, and as we can read as reported by the Middle East Online News Service in their article titled "Khamenei tells Arabs: Stay united in face of US plots", and which says:
"Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei on Tuesday urged Iraq, Lebanon and the Palestinians to remain united in the face of what he said were US plots to destabilise the region.
"Everybody should be alert in the region. All the Arab nations in the region - Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine and other Muslim nations should be alert," he told thousands of worshippers gathered in Tehran for Eid al-Fitr prayers.
"They should be careful not to make any move that allows a new betrayal from the plans of the Zionists and the United States to be realised."
The greatest present danger to the Americans in these actions lies in the expected Turkish and Iranian Military invasion of the Iraqi Kurdish areas, and which many of what are called the Neo-Con Faction in the United States are advocating their President to protect at all costs, and as we can read as reported by the Washington Post News Service in their article written by Richard Holbrooke, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and which says:
"Whatever else you do, Mr. President, you should send American troops to northern Iraq (Kurdistan), which is still safe but increasingly tense, to reduce the very real risk of a Turkish-Kurdish war. Both the Turks and the Kurds would welcome this U.S. presence, but it would have to be accompanied by a cessation of Kurdish terrorist raids into Turkey. This would allow Special Forces troops to move rapidly into other parts of Iraq if a terrorist target appeared, and it would show the world that you were not withdrawing from America's commitment to Iraq."
Kremlin sources, though, dispute the reasoning behind Ambassador Holbrooke’s statement that Turkey ‘would welcome’ an American effort to halt Kurdish rebel attacks upon their Nation by pointing out that both Turkey and Iran’s stated goal is to prevent the establishment of any Kurdish Nation whatsoever.
As both Turkey and Iran continue massing troops on the Iraqi border for an expected invasion of the Kurdish areas, and as the Americans continue their unprecedented buildup of Naval Forces in the Middle East, these reports correctly surmise, in our opinion, that at no time since the darkest days of the 1930’s has our World been closer to Total War.
