Open borders: infiltrated security forces

Immigrant Army infiltrator lets lose

The news went all over the world. A Middle Eastern Muslim who is an US Army major went on a rampage and killed 12. The site of the killing was Ft. Hood, Tx. It is one of the biggest bases of the US Army in the world.

The face of the US Army

It is amazing to look at the pictures. So many of the "soldiers" are women, or non-whites. Few seem to belong to the ethnic core of the US.

This is what happens with uncontrolled immigration. Eventually foreign races and religions end up in the security forces and become a power in the land.

It is just that the speed at which developments are going in the US is mind boggling.

US Forces withdraw from Urban Centres in Iraq

Operational redeployment

The US is withdrawing its troops from Iraq's urban centres. The troops are arrayed in "belts" around towns and cities. The question is whether this is a victory for the US or for its enemies. According to the NewYork Times:

Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki has taken to calling the withdrawal of American combat troops from Iraq’s cities by next Tuesday a “great victory,” a repulsion of foreign occupiers he compares to the rebellion against British troops in 1920.

US political and military leadership is not challenging their supposed ally, Mr. Al-Maliki. (I wrote a post on November 24 2005 advising the strategy of withdrawing US Forces to locations outside the cities.)

The original strategy of the US

The strategy of the US after the attack by the Jihadists on 9-11 consisted of invading Iraq to turn it into a democratic model for the rest of the Middle East. A democratic Iraq would undermine autocratic Middle Eastern regimes and usher in an era of democracy. This democratic era would than take away the "root causes" of Middle Eastern discontent with the West.

Iraq becoming a newer, bigger Lebanon

Rather than becoming a haven for Freedom, Iraq became a violent tangle of sects and tribes. The US was never able to deal with it. After calming the country down after the surge the US military is now leaving the urban centres to the newly constituted Iraqi security forces under the control of Mr. Al-Maliki and the Shia.

Gaining legitimacy in the eyes of the majority sect

Mr. Al-Maliki and his government are now faced with a fight with the Sunni minority. The Sunnis allied themselves with the US during the surge in return for the US paying a tribute. On the other hand Mr. Al-Maliki faces competition for the hearts and minds of the Shia from even more radical elements. For PM Al-Maliki the alliance with the US is increasingly becoming a burden. He needs to divest from the US and strengthen other alliances with local powers. These will be shia Iran (never mind who wins the present power struggle there), the Kurds, Turkey, Jordan and if possible Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states.

The US is facing different set of problems now

Meanwhile in the US the state of California is so broke that it can not cover 25 percent of the budget. The Federal government is refusing to bail out the state. It the Federal government will not bail out California, will it be interested in continuing to pour treasure into Iraq?

This amounts to something bigger than the US defeat in Vietnam. It is like the USSR having to withdraw from its internationalist duty in Afghanistan.

Why did the strategy of democratization fail?

The US leaderhip are so in thrall of the equality dogma, that they failed to take into account that the Middle East belongs to a different Civilization than Eastern Europe, where democratization has proven more successful. The Islamic faith is extremely hostile to Western ideas of government. This makes it difficult to mobilize the population for an effort supporting a Western-led endeavor and easy to mobilize the population to those who are opposed to the West.

Dutch Army Imam 2

The Imam who is to be appointed as an Army Imam will be äppointed despite objection of Parliamentarian opposition. According to a letter written by Deputy Defense Minister Jack de Vries this is what will happen. He thinks the Imam's opposition to the presence of Dutch troops in a Muslims land as not relevant.

Parliament will vote on the matter today. Opposition politicians of the Freedom Party (PVV), Christian Democrats (CDA) and the Christian Orthodox SGP are expected to contest the decision. They hold 74 seats in the 150 seat Parliament.

The Military Industrial Congressional Complex drives towards America's Defense Meltdown

When stepping down in 1961 President Eisenhower warned of the collusion between the U.S. military and the Defense Industry. This collaboration caused the U.S. to spend its budgets in a way that served the narrow interests of the Defense Industry and Military leadership. Rather than on the security needs of the nation.

Winslow Wheeler, editor of "America's Defense Meltdown" argues with 13 other Defense Procurement experts that the complex also includes U.S. Congress, which for decades has failed to effectively oversee Defense Contracting. The result is U.S. defense spending 50 percent of global defense budgets, yet failing to achieve decisive results against tiny opponenents. For instance Al-Qaida is estimated to number approximately 70.000 members.

A few weeks ago Mr. Wheeler gave a presentation on the how and why of the U.S. Army inventory of weapons systems aging and shrinking in a time of high spending. Mr Wheeler is accompanied by two contributors to the book: Pierre Sprey, co-designer of the F-16 and A-10 jets, and Thomas Christie, former adviser to the Secretary of Defense on weapons systems testing.

Dutch Military hates Multicultural Society

Researcher Rudy Richardson published a report today about attitudes towards non-whites and Multiculturalism in the Dutch armed forces. The report was quoted by Algemeen Dagblad and widely quoted by the Dutch media today.



It turns out that more than 75 percent of the lower ranks and a "large majority" of the higher ranks of the Dutch armed forces are hostile to the Multicultural society. They think the armed forces should remain a white bulwark and not increase the present 8 percent non-whites that are in the defense forces.

A majority of the generals, officers and the lower ranks is also hostile to Multiculturalism and supports the widely held notion that intergrating Black, Turks, Moroccans ("Turkse, Antilliaanse, Arubaanse, Surinaamse en Marokkaanse collega's") into the army leads to an increase in trouble and a loss of trust between comrades. The hostility increases the lower in the ranks the researcher gets.

The situation has been long reported to be similar in the police. Although the police makes an effort to increase the ratio of non-whites to Dutchmen in the police the turnover of new policemen is so high that the non-white to white ratio of the police does not exceed 10 percent.

The hostility is particularly marked towards Muslims, who are widely regared to be "terrorists". But it also extends to other non-Europeans, such as Carribean blacks.

Interestingly the number of Indonesian officers and NCOs exceeds their percentage of the total population. The loyalist Indonesians who came to The Netherlands after the collaps of the Empire in the Far East were often servants of the crown, serving as bureaucrats or soldiers in the colonial administration. There have not been similar problems between the Indonesians and the Dutch in the military as between the more recent immigrant waves. This means that the hostility can not be put down to "racism" as a the pc media is naturally doing.

Researcher Rudy Richardson thinks the situation must be corrected by "education" and the usual bollocks. Yeah right. We can not think for ourselves.....

Iraq Sniper - Juba

Film from a cam scope of Juba, a Jihadi Sniper in Iraq, taking pot shots at well-equiped and uniformed American troops. The camera is intergrated into the sniper scope used by the marksman to aim his rifle. I know that these combined sniper scopes / cameras exist and are manufactured in Israel.

I wonder how much it would cost to equip and maintain such a sniper in relation to the contant worth of the troops and equipment facing him. Imagine the effect of this film on Islamic immigrant youth in Europe and North America! Great recruiting tool.

More footdragging on Afghanistan

Yesterday there was supposed to be a decision on the Afghanistan Mission. The Netherlands had already sent troops in 2003, both to Iraq and Afghanistan. Right now the decision is whether the ISAF mission in the South of Afghanistan (Uruzgan) must be supported with
up to 1,400 troops.

The coalistion of Christian Democrats (CDA), Liberal-Conservatives (VVD) and Liberal-Liberals (D66) is devided, with the minute and irrelevant Liberal-Liberals opposed, Lib-Cons pro and the Christian-Democrats playing their traditional Yes-No-Maybe attitude.

The arguments. The arguments for sending troop there. I have not really found those in the media. Sending peaceforces shows good intention and Dutch politician LOVE good intentions. Good intentions will get you far in this country.

But ooooh... the risks. There are nasty people there. With guns!!!!! They want to fight. They have no proper insurance for health care. And they still want to fight. Ugh. Fanatics. Some of them even do not mind to die. Baaad Afghani's. Must we send TROOPS into areas were there is unrest and chaos and insurrection kinda like it is a WAR out there.

My completely idiotic, lost the plot, do not know what is going on leaders are discussing the risks now and whether they are acceptable.

Personally I think we should not send the troops. It is not that they can achieve anything there. The only good side about it is that the Americans like us doing it. And if it is wrong there will be a lot of chatter about it in the media and perhaps a few people will learn something about it how the rest of the world works.

It would take about 20 men with assault rifles to completely take over this whole country of ours. Just find 20 men with balls of steel and there will be no power here to stop them. This is how weak and useless we have become.

A Fool's War

Martin van Creveld, the Israeli war guru who is an expert on warfare in these times we are living in and on the diminishing power of the state wrote a scating piece on Bush's conduct of the war in Iraq. Title: "Costly Withdrawal Is the Price To Be Paid for a Foolish War" The US troops have been in Iraq since 2003. Since then 2,000 soldiers have been killed and only a tine minority of Americans support the war. It is obvious that the US forces must be withdrawn. The question is when and how. Van Creveld ominiously compares the situation in Iraq to Vietnam. And Iraq will be more dear to the US then that war.

During the withdrawal of US troops from Vietnam the American handed over their equipment to the South Vietnamese. This is no option now. The Iraqi Army is much weaker than even the ARVN and todays equipment is incomparable more complicated. After the victory of the Communists in 1975 the North ended up with mounains of sofisticated American weapons, which they used to devastating effect in the Vietnam Chinese war of 1979 and the ousting of the Khmer Rouge. Also Vietnam had a centralised government whereas Iraq is a jumble of competing groups.

Clearly, then, the thing to do is to forget about face-saving and conduct a classic withdrawal.

Van Creveld continues to state that first the US forces have to concentrate on Bagdad and then to pull back to Basra and Kuwait.

A withdrawal probably will require several months and incur a sizable number of casualties. As the pullout proceeds, Iraq almost certainly will sink into an all-out civil war from which it will take the country a long time to emerge — if, indeed, it can do so at all. All this is inevitable and will take place whether George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Condoleezza Rice like it or not.

And

a complete American withdrawal is not an option; the region, with its vast oil reserves, is simply too important for that.

The reasons the presence is necessary is that Iran must be deterred from filling the power vacuum. Teheran will be the greatest benefactor from Saddam being toppled. Saddam was the US ally before the first gulf war used as a counterweight to the power of Iran. Now that counterweight is gone the US will have to do the work themselves in order to protect the Gulfstates.

A continued American military presence will be needed also, because a divided, chaotic, government-less Iraq is very likely to become a hornets' nest. From it, a hundred mini-Zarqawis will spread all over the Middle East, conducting acts of sabotage and seeking to overthrow governments in Allah's name.

So the second benefactor of the Second Gulf War is Al-Queda. Great news!

However, Turkey, Egypt and, to a lesser extent, Israel are also likely to feel the impact. Some of these countries, Jordan in particular, are going to require American assistance. Van Creveld ends by naming the invasion the greatest mistake in 2,000 years (4 Roman legions massacred by the Germans in the Teutoburger forest). And calls for impeachment of Bush and his cronies.
