April 4, 2011 - The 3,400 Iranian refugees at Camp Ashraf, Iraq, 60 kilometres north-west of Baghdad, are stuck between a rock and a hard place. On Sunday, Iraqi military forces under the order of President Nouri al Maliki, and at the request of the Iranian regime, surrounded Camp Ashraf with 30 military vehicles, taking up offensive positions with tanks and armoured personnel carriers.
The camp has been the site of numerous bloody attacks in the past and is an unarmed ‘sitting duck’ in the middle of the desert.
US forces in Iraq are confined to their bases under the current Status of Forces Agreement. They are in the process of drawing down and redeploying to Afghanistan or in support of the NATO operation in Libya. Members of the UK Parliament, including Lord Archer of Sandwell, said in a statement: “We demand that the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) and US forces in Iraq urgently intervene to ensure that the Iraqi military withdraws from the refugee camp. UNAMI should also establish a formal and lasting presence at the camp, under US army protection, to monitor the situation and thereby restrict the sorts of abuse that is currently taking place.” {continued}
In 2003 some 72% of Americans fully supported the Abandoning of the Missions and those Sent to Accomplish so extremely Quickly after 9/11!!At least some 95%, if not more as less then 1% serve them, not only still support the, just below, total lack of Sacrifice, they ran from any and all Accountability and left everything still on the table to be continually used if the political/military want was still in play in future executive/legislative wants!!
DeJa-Vu: “With no shared sacrifices being asked of civilians after Sept. 11", Decades and War From, All Over Again!!
