Are U.S. and Iraqi forces considering retaking Baghdad?
azzaman: Media reports say that the new government's top priority will be to launch a massive attack for yet another 'liberation' of Baghdad.
In this large-scale military operation, U.S. occupation troops and Iraqi forces will take part. The ultimate aim will be to comb Baghdad, home to more than 6 million people, house after house, street after street and quarter after quarter.
The new government has yet to be formed but reports say both London and Washington are keen to see it born as quickly as possible.
The U.S. and the U.K. are looking for a face-saving formula to leave Iraq and would like to use the nascent Iraqi forces as a spearhead in their decisive move on Baghdad.
Once the 'terrorists' are rooted out, reconstruction legions will move in to repair and upgrade public utilities such [as] water and electricity.
The Pentagon is reported to be enthusiastic about the idea. U.S. military planners believe that Baghdad is in need of a 'second liberation' for the return of normalcy.
This new 'liberation' comes in the heels of the first U.S.-led 'liberation' of April 2003 whose results are well know to Iraqis and the Pentagon itself knows the benefits it reaped from it and its beneficiaries.
The reports say the U.S. would like to use this new attack on Baghdad as a prelude to the withdrawal of its troops from Iraq by the end of this year**.
Through this second 'liberation' the U.S. will feel at ease and happy to see Baghdad being purged once again and presented on a golden plate to the new government - with best wishes of peace, affluence, security and tranquility. Read more
