Story Iraq: Brits Hand Basra to... Iran?

According to respected authorities:

"Britain formally cedes security duties for Basra to Iraqis; Hand-over called 'a huge test' amid factions' disputes" by Ann M. Simmons/Los Angeles Times December 17, 2007

BASRA, Iraq - During a low-key ceremony yesterday, Britain formally handed over control of security responsibility for Basra Province to Iraqi authorities, marking a significant step toward Iraqi sovereignty.

The rest was cut from the Globe's web version.

How about that, huh?


Vali Nasr, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and a professor at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University:

"[Maintaining peace in Iraq's south would depend largely on] what Iran can will do. [Neighboring Iran] has ties with the Mahdi Army and the Badr Corps, as well as the Fadhilla party in Basra. [Iran has so far kept a truce between the warring factions and therefore helped keep Basra under control. But] the potential for fighting is great if Iran loses control or decides to change strategy. Basra is a test of Iranian influence and intentions. That is a critical factor."

Yeah, that's it, censor what the globalist had to day.

And listen to him, setting up Iran for attack in this way!

Meanwhile, the real terrorist are right here:

Some residents of Basra said Shi'ite factional fighting had spawned an intolerable environment of fear and said they were anxious about the British leaving.

Either this is more Zio-prop for them to STAY, or Iraq really is better since the U.S. invaded, huh?

Read on, readers!

Remember, this was all censored from the web!


A 42-year-old Shi'ite civil servant, who requested anonymity for fear of reprisal:

"When I walk the streets, I don't fel secure. I don't stay out late, because of this. The British didn't kill anybody... The British didn't kidnap anybody."

You sure about that?

All right, this has to be 100% Zio-prop.

Are you sure about this anonymous source in a Zionist-controlled, War-Promoting AmeriKan "newspaper." readers?

And if you take it at face value and "true," WOW, the OCCUPATION of Iraq is going JUST SPLENDIDLY!

What happen to the surge success, 'eh?

Read on:


Lately, police in Basra have reported the killings of dozens of women by religious vigilantes because they were wearing makeup and not wearing traditional Islamic head covering."

Never mind the Zio-prop value, but IRAQ REALLY IS BETTER FOR WOMEN now that Saddam Hussein is gone, huh?

Yeah, THANKS, but NO THANKS for the "LIBERATION," you mass-murdering fuck stick Bush!


And this hand-over is such big news on the tv news!

What SHIT-SHOVELING TELEVISION AmeriKa has!

Times' last two paragraphs, natch!

"Britain Hands Over Control of Basra Province to Iraq" by PAUL von ZIELBAUER

BAGHDAD — Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, the day-to-day commander in Iraq, said Sunday that American officials were concerned about whether Iraqi forces would prevent Iran, which shares a border with Basra Province, from meddling in the region.

Did they send 200,000 halfway around the world to occupy a... ah, just forget it!


Elsewhere in Iraq on Sunday, fierce fighting erupted in Diyala Province, northeast of Baghdad, between Sunni tribesmen who have begun supporting American forces and members of Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, the mostly homegrown insurgent group that American intelligence says is led by foreigners. A police official said 35 militants and 18 local residents were killed."

Oh, yeah ,elsewhere violence that is nowhere in the Globe -- except for the Turks killing Kurds!

Remember that flap-up months ago?

WTF ever happened up there, and why has the stink Jew press been so quite about it, 'eh?
