The torture and slaughter of Iraqi civilians is reaching unprecedented heights with estimates of up to 655,000 dead.
Night after night death squads rampage through Iraq's main cities. In Baghdad, up to a hundred bodies a day are dumped on the streets. Often they've been tortured with electric drills. Yet those doing the killing have little to do with al Qaeda or Sunni insurgents. The majority of the killings are carried out by Shia death squads who want to turn Iraq into a Shia state aligned to Iran.
There are links between the death squads and high-ranking Shia politicians. The Shia militia that these politicians control have systematically infiltrated and taken over police units like the Baghdad Commando squad whom every member was a member of the Mardi Army who were recruited in one mass group by New Iraqi ministers to do their will. These politicians are aligned with hard liners like Muctada al-Sadr. Even entire government ministries have been infiltrated. These special police units are closely linked to the death squads, indeed they often are the death squads. And the killers act with impunity. There's little investigation into their activities as internal affairs and the serious crime units are too scared themselves to investigate these police units.
Special American advisers to the police and various government departments have been warning the Iraqi and American administrations that the present government has been infiltrated at every level by Shia extremists intent on ethnically cleansing Iraqi on the Coalition withdrawal.
So why night after night is the media flashing death tolls followed swiftly with reports of Sunni insurgents and al Qaeda being involved when the majority of the murders are by Shia's. They drop the bodies of at the same places at the the same time nearly every day. It was quite easy for an Iraqi journalist to film the police dropping off bodies. The special American adviser admitted he knew of the regular body dumps but was powerless to do anything.
Is the new Shia majority government ready to become a partner in the War On Terror? Or are they terrorist themselves?
Should the coalition pull out as planned leaving a western friendly tyrannical government in power? Or should the police, government and army be disbanded and started again?
Maybe its time to call in the UN? Would any member nation place any of their solders in the firing line anyway?
Whats the way forward? Discus.
