Consider in relation to the problems in NE Syria.
The excerpt is from the bottom, after a good deal of historical
background.* First, undermine the US effort to bring stability to Iraq by disrupting security and the smooth running of
business. * Second, attack the infrastructure by disrupting electricity, oil pipelines and refineries, supply
routes, and communication networks. * Third, attack those who are collaborating or aiding the US, such as
the international forces in Iraq, the so-called Iraqi police force, and Iraqis working for the occupation in
civilian jobs. * Four, attack the US forces themselves on a daily basis, everywhere, and at all times.
The success of the resistance has prompted the US to rely heavily on its greatest skill -- weakening
countries by causing divisions within them.
It is not a mistake that suddenly central Iraq is being called "the Sunni triangle." It may be true that Sunnis
are carrying out most of the resistance, but this does not mean that all Sunnis are in agreement with, or
support, the resistance. Many Sunnis are in fact collaborating with US occupation forces.
The US is trying to blame violent military actions on the Sunnis in order to isolate them as an ethnic group.
For instance, there have been numerous attacks on Shi'ite holy places and leaders. One attack took place on
March 2 in Baghdad and Karbala during Ashura, an important Shi'ite holiday, that claimed the lives of two
hundred people, and injured hundreds more. Because of US manipulation, the world assumes the Sunnis are
to blame. With the liar's talent for concealing his strategy by simply proclaiming it, Paul Bremer, the U.S.
master in Iraq, said the attacks were committed "to provoke sectarian violence among Muslims," as if this
very thing was not exactly the intention of the US.
