The "Salvador Option" - very successful in perpetuating Iraq's violence and chaos

under full sail of cynicism, i once again maintain that the bush administration has no desire to quell violence or to see iraq stabilized... the presence of american troops continue to fuel the insurgency, which continues to fuel the islamic jihad, which, in turn, keeps alive the so-called gwot, and provides bushco with the endless war they so desperately desire, and to complete the makeover of the united states into a totalitarian dictatorship... so far, it's working like a charm...

Iraq's savage sectarian war is now regarded as a greater obstacle to any semblance of peace returning than the insurgency, and was the main reason for the Americans recently pouring 12,000 troops into the capital - an operation that, they now acknowledge, has failed.

Yet, ironically, the death squads are the result of US policy. At the beginning of last year, with no end to the Sunni insurgency in sight, the Pentagon was reported to have decided to train Shia and Kurdish fighters to carry out "irregular missions". The policy, exposed in the US media, was called the "Salvador Option" after the American-backed counter-insurgency in Latin America more than 20 years ago, which led to 70,000 deaths and countless instances of human rights abuse.

there's no "irony" about it... passing along the so-called "counter-insurgency" techniques that have already proven themselves throughout latin america, originally hatched by the school of the americas (now euphemistically called the "western hemisphere institute for security cooperation"), was only another calculated move in the repertoire of tactics designed to insure that bushco accomplishes its dark agenda...
