U.S. Alliance with Iraq's Sunni Militias
U.S. generals, Republican members of Congress, the media and right-wing pundits have all recently begun to sing the praises of President Bush's deployment of 30,000 additional troops to Iraq, crediting the tactic for a reduction in violence in the occupied nation. The Pentagon reports that al Qaeda in Iraq has virtually been defeated and the weekly number of attacks by insurgents has now decreased to the lowest level since the bombing of a holy Shiite shrine in Samarra in February 2006. Data has also been presented by U.S. and Iraqi officials recording a decrease in the number of civilian deaths as well as U.S. and Iraqi soldiers being killed. a "Ticking Time Bomb" RealAudio Interview with journalist Dahr Jamail, While observers in Iraq acknowledge the uncertain ebb and flow of resistance to the U.S. occupation, most cite the role that a U.S. alliance with some Sunni tribes in embattled provinces has played in reducing violence -- unrelated to the surge. But other factors, such as Shiite cleric Moktada al-Sadr's call for his militia to halt offensive action -- and the brutal success of an ethnic cleansing campaign in mixed ethnic neighborhoods, have also contributed to a decline in bloodshed. But while the situation on the ground is calmer compared with record levels of violence seen over the last year, over 500 attacks each week continue to result in unspeakable carnage. The changes in Iraq's security front have not been accompanied by any progress towards political reconciliation. Between The Lines' Scott Harris spoke with independent journalist Dahr Jamail, who reported from the streets of Iraq for eight months between November 2003 and February 2005. Jamail, author of the new book, "Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches from an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied Iraq," assesses what he believe to be false pronouncements that the U.S. is now winning the war in Iraq.
