SOUTH OF BAGHDAD… THE DEAD SEND AN OMINOUS SIGNAL!
As much as the actions in Israel and Gaza are on the minds
of just about everyone in the region tonight, I’m going to address a topic that
was mostly overlooked; with the exception of one group…..those who have chosen
to stay in Baghdad!
Imagine waking up today and hearing the story of over fifty
bodies being found murdered in one pile.
Imagine hearing this story and realizing this didn't take
place North of where you live in the City, but South.
The South; the area that is Shia controlled!
The Area this is more secure than any other area in Iraq!
What level of fear does this strike in the hearts of those
who have chosen to stay in Baghdad?
How incredibly ingenious was this act?
Just imagine the fear it posed to the Shia still in Baghdad.
How does anyone who spends every single waking moment not
realize the message this horrendous act sends?
Can any of those who have stayed in the city now not feel surrounded?
What level of fear has this one act created?
Remember my theory on an assault on Baghdad?
Why waste limited assets on an extended campaign to take a city that will be in ruins by the time the conflict
is over?
Why not just lay siege to it and its remaining inhabitants
and make what life they have unbearable?
Just today I read several reports about the price and
quality of food in Baghdad has deteriorated, if that is possible, in the past
month.
Let’s face it; this act was psychological warfare at its
best!
How well did it work?
I just have to wonder how many people are now moving towards
the Kuwaiti border.
How does Kuwait trust, verify, those who may be about to
cross the border?
Where do the people who stayed go?
East?
Do the Iranians open their borders to the millions who may
have to leave Baghdad?
In the end, there may not be an actual battle for ownership
of Baghdad.
Baghdad may collapse under the weight of the greatest weapon
in the region.
FEAR!
