Are the Death Squads Back

[SlingBlade]

After only a short while as Ambassador to Iraq John Negroponte reunites with an old familiar central American phenomenon, A mysterious armed vigilante group threatened on Tuesday to kill Abu Musab al-Zarqawi for insurgency attacks that have killed Iraqis, making the first internal threat against the Jordanian militant.
In other words, A local anti-insurgency group pops up to defend against Communism, I mean Terrorism.

Do we really care about al-Zarqawi, Of course not, But that’s not really the point.
It just seems odd that whenever Negroponte shows up on a scene of insurgency, These anti insurgents and death squads seem to follow.

A coincidence ?

2. wherever these groups come from

Negroponte certainly has a lot of experience at 'looking the other way'.

3. Of course they are. The Ambassador to Imperial Freedomstan

is rolling up his sleeves and getting to WORK.

Our own Eichmann. God Help the Iraqis and all of us, who will be getting our own Eichmanns soon, I think.

4. No doubt it's Negroponte...

big doubts on his ability to pull it off, though... he's playing with the big boys of guerilla warfare this time.

6. Yup, the Israelis tried this on Lebannon and backfired big time

the militias they sponsored ended up being wiped out.

The Gemayel brothers (their Chalabis and Allawis) also got blown up to
kingdom come.

5. Martial Law is next

Unfortunately, Those who seek for human rights and decency are the ones caught in the middle of these types of anti-insurgencies.
All in the name of freedom and democracy.:dem:

7. With a name like "Salvation Movement"

it's hard to believe these guys aren't backed by....you guessed it! The good old USA. I can't see Iraqi's even thinking about a name like salvation! Definitely a "shadow" group and a flakey one at best.
