Is the plan of US govt the partition of Iraq into three different countries?

Answer 1

THEY SHOULD DIVIDE THE COUNTRY IN THREE. THAT SEEMS LIKE THE ONLY WAY TO SETTLE THIS.

Answer 2

Hersh's New Yorker article has many sources within the military and the Bush administration saying that they are secretly funneling money into Sunni militias (ie, the ones that are in the same sect as al Qaeda, for those who are still lost). He quotes Nasrallah (from Hezbollah) who theorizes that the idea in Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Syria and Palestine is for Saudi Arabia, the United States, and Israel to sew sectarian conflict and split the nations up along sectarian lines... Iraq being first, of course. The Kurds would get the oily part, and wouldn't, as the current Iraqi constitution dictates, have to share all profits among the provinces of Iraq.

There will be a lot of bloodshed, because as someone else already said, they're all mixed up together. The idea is to use these terrorist groups to split the people up, all the Shiites are killed or run away as refugees from Sunni-majority areas, and vice versa, all Sunnis are killed or escape from Shiite-majority areas.

Now I don't know if this is the idea exactly or what the goal is, but it seems fairly obvious that the U.S. is attempting to spread conflict throughout the Middle East. Nasrallah says it's to make smaller, divided, weaker states around Israel to make Israel safer. The U.S. is probably involved mostly to keep the Iraqi oil in Kurd hands, they are fewer and when the U.S. oil companies come in to "save" the Iraqi oil infrastructure, whatever profit-sharing deal they come up with will be stronger. My own crazy theory is that with turmoil and poverty raging around the world, there are immigration problems everywhere... and Israel wants to use sectarian violence as a way of preventing Muslims from entering their country looking for work. They have a strong tourist economy and, if all the other nations in the regions are split up based on religious sects, that would take pressure off Israel to be a secular nation and having to let people in regardless of their religion... remember, Israel has a very open immigration policy, if you're Jewish. The violence and threat of terrorism gives them another excuse not to let muslims in their borders.

And as a preemptive response, no I'm not antisemite or anti-Israel, and as a matter of fact polls show that the majority of Israelis want to pull out of the West Bank and Gaza settlements but the government keeps moving forward.

Answer 3

It is not the plan of the US and for good reason.

Who would decide which group gets what area? There are many, many areas where Sunnis and Shites live. Do you think those people will happily leave their homes because they now belong to the other group? No way.

Answer 4

Democratic Senator Joe Biden has that plan and it seems like a reasonable one. Actually, he proposed 3 strong states, loosely federated. The central government can take care of issues such as oil revenue sharing. It's discussed on his website.

Answer 5

unfortunately they cannot accomplish this because the Kurds desire a large Kurdistan which means violent conflict with Turkey and Iraq.

Answer 6

This may be a viable solution but I know of no definite plans as of yet.

Answer 7

...and it took how many years for bush to realize this??? the common u.s. citizen knew that years ago.

Answer 8

god i hope so this way we can leave and watch them kill each other for oil money!!!!
