Alwaght- �America does not help solve the world�s problems, but it must hold the strings of these problems to run towards the national interests.� By these words the godfather of the US foreign policy Henry A. Kissinger has described the reality of the way Washington deals with the global crises.


The strategy that Kissinger has talked about is fully in compliance with his country�s practical positions on the crises that are sweeping the West Asia region and specifically Iraq, a country the US has invaded under the pretext of existence of WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction), however, later Washington has apologized for that, saying that there were no such weapons developed in the country. Years later, the US withdrew forces from Iraq by force of the Iraqi resistant groups. It left for Iraq a legacy of devastation, as it immersed the nation in a sectarian conflict which to date has taken lives of tens of thousands of the Iraqis, in addition to looting reserves of one of the world�s oil-richest countries.


At the present time, Washington is attempting to re-enter Iraq through the window of ISIS terror group and under the excuse of backing the Iraqi army and helping the country recapture the city of Mosul. Such a pretext is considered by many Iraqis as an attempt for covert occupation because deployment of US forces to Iraq would need the country�s parliament approval, as the Iraqi government has not so far given any consent for the American forces to be deployed to the country, according to sources of the Iraqi parliament.


The American game cards become obvious as the country spreads chaos in the region of the West Asia, and as Washington weakens the regional countries whether through supporting the terror organizations or supporting those who act against terrorism, namely supporting everybody in the face of everybody. Washington supports an array of regional warring parties against each other. For example it backs ISIS terror group against both the Iraqi and Syrian armies, as it seeks creating gaps between the Iraqi army and the Public Mobilization Forces. It also endorses the Kurds in the face of the Sunni tribes and the Public Mobilization Forces, the tribal forces against the Public Mobilization Forces and ISIS, the so-called Free Syrian Army, Jaysh al-Islam, al-Nusra Front and Ahrar ash-Sham versus the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad�s forces and the Kurdistan Workers� Party (PKK) along with the Kurdish Democratic Union Party versus the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his government, and vice versa.


The US policy intends to realize Washington�s interests through two major instruments, the goal of which is to push the region into the stage of comprehensive destruction should Washington fails to gain a full control of it. The first instrument is the direct targeting as it was the case with invasion of Iraq and now with targeting the country�s infrastructure under the guise of the US-led international coalition as well as battle against ISIS terror organization. For example, the city of Ramadi was demolished by 80 percent as a result of the US forces� operations and before that when the city was held by the terror group. Due to a previously-designed plan, the city fell in ruins, just like Japan�s Hiroshima. The destruction was primarily aimed at the civilians, according to an Iraqi field source. The Iraqi flag is not raised on top of any building due to the massive size of destruction caused by the American forces who were targeting the civilians, the same source maintained. �We don�t find any reason for this silence by the Human Rights organizations or by the UN or even by the (Iraqi) government while a large number of the families have lost their lives as a result of the deliberate US� bombing. They got caught between the rock and the hard place, namely between ISIS and the Americans�, the source added. Why the battles which were fought by the Pubic Mobilization Forces in Baiji, Jurf Al Nasr and Amirli have not left such a devastation? The answer looks easy. Washington seeks undermining of Iraq while the army, the Mobilization forces and the tribes are going to great lengths to protect their country at an expensive price. The second instrument is concerned with targeting Iraq indirectly through backup of the terror groups, as well as fueling the sectarian disputes with the intention of implementing US� split project which eyes weakening the region�s countries. It is specifically through watching this policy that we can find a delineation for Washington�s paradoxical policy concerning obliteration of the terror group ISIS. While some American circles note that the time has come to put an end to the terror organization, others say that the battle would take several years to end. Both sides are right when it comes to watching through Washington�s viewpoint. Should the Iraqis approve of the US-intended Iraq partition plan, the terror group would exit as quickly as it entered the country by capturing Mosul in 2014, but if they reject the three-regions split plan, the terror organization would not leave Iraq before it keeps holding ground for several years.


The Ramadi experience was highly painful due to the large size of resultant demolition as well as the large numbers of the civilian victims who lost their lives by the US fighter jets� firepower. This experience must not be repeated in the upcoming battle of Mosul which the Public Mobilization Forces insist to take part in despite the American �veto.� The absence of the popular forces in the oncoming battle would bring the country grave consequences as Washington seeks seizing the triumphs and partitioning the country.


That is how Washington wants to implement Kissinger�s theory of holding the strings of the global problems. This is the same strategy on the basis of which the American Empire was established through destroying lives of 12 million red Indians. Washington is intending to adopt the same strategy this time in West Asia through shedding bloods of hundreds of thousands of Muslims and Arabs.
