New School of the Americas In Iraq Training New Generation Of Imperialists

[bigtree]

Can this be anything other than a training ground for the next generation of military puppets to be installed in leadership roles wherever the Pentagon or the CIA need a counter revolutionary to direct the overthrow of an 'enemy' regime?

ZAKHO, Iraq (Army News Service, Jan. 19, 2006) - In northern Iraq, there is a school under reconstruction that may have a greater impact on the future of Iraq than any other reconstruction effort. The school is Zakho Military Academy.

As important as oil, electricity, water, health care, and primary education are to Iraq’s future, educating those already identified to be the future leaders of Iraq will provide direction in the same manner as a rudder steers a large ship. Zakho Military Academy is one of Iraq’s two national military academies and is equivalent to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.

The guard towers will serve both as training opportunities for the cadets to learn first hand the nuances of guard mount, and as operational guard posts for the facility. The new entrances will inspire awe, determination, and commitment to entering cadets in the same manner as entering the gates of West Point, Annapolis, or the Air Force Academy have been symbolic for those entering training to become the nation’s leaders in the U.S.

Other force protection projects included a new munitions storage facility and upgrades to the armory. The armory includes rooms for weapons issue, weapons maintenance and cleaning, and weapons racks and lockers for storing both rifles and pistols. The weapons storage rooms were equipped with their own independent air handling. The new munitions storage facility commonly called an ammunition supply point is a four meters by six meters brick building with elevated pads to keep the ammunition off the floor. The facility is secured by a three-meter-high berm, a cyclone fence with razor wire around its perimeter, and lights.

There are currently 213 cadets on campus undergoing their training. When the construction of the 19 new buildings and other facilities is complete, the school will have the capacity to train 500 cadets. They will graduate with bachelors degrees aligned closely to many in the engineering field.

I'm sure they'll be tutored extensively in the noble rudiments of Jeffersonian democracy, right after they teach them psychological operations, interrogations, sniper-style assassinations, commando assaults, murder, torture, and extortion, prolonged constraint, prolonged exertion, extremes of heat, cold, or moisture, deprivation of food or sleep, disrupting routines, solitary confinement, threats of pain, deprivation of sensory stimuli, hypnosis, and use of drugs or placebos, arranging public demonstrations . . . most importantly, how to organize a guerrilla movement to overthrow a government and assume power.


Actual DOD paramilitary 'School of the Americas' still exists:
