News :: Iraq
Samarra Battle Faked By U.S. Psywar Specialists Current rating: 0
03 Dec 2003
An analysis of the "Samarra Battle"
indicates that U.S. Psychological
Warfare Operatives faked a "great
victory" for U.S. troops similar
to the fabricated Jessica Lynch
"rescue."
*
A quick analysis of the "Samarra Battle"
and some peculiar aspects of same
suggests the following scenario:


FIRST: The U.S. got its butt kicked during
the month of November: Five helicopters
knocked down; a cargo plane hit and forced
to do an emergency landing; dozens of U.S.
soldiers killed in ambushes; numerous car
bombs and truck bombs. Dozens of Iraqi
officials (working with the U.S.) and/or
police officers assassinated; dozens of
U.S. allies (Japanese, Italian, Spanish,
British, etc.) killed. Sadam is nowhere in
sight, but continues to issue communiques.

SECOND: Word comes down from the Pentagon-
"We need a big victory and we need it NOW.
Fake one if you have to."

THIRD: U.S. psychological warfare operatives
go into action. They concoct a plan for a
"great victory" brought to you by your sponsor:
The same folks who brought you the Jessica Lynch
"rescue" and cooked up the Jessica Lynch story
of heroism.

FOURTH: U.S. troops enter a town. Heavily armored
and "ready." U.S. troops allegedly "know" that
an ambush is likely or imminent-- But this time
the main "attackers" are U.S. special forces.
NOTE the "fadeyeen uniforms" the attackers were
alleged to have worn: Iraqi witnesses saw NO Iraqis
walking around with such uniforms that day. Note
also that part of the "fadeyeen uniform" involves
wearing black or dark clothes with black ski
mask-like headgear: How Convenient. Perfect for
white special forces operatives pretending to be
Iraqi.

FIFTH: The "massive attack" launched simultaneously
on two different fronts resulted in NO deaths among
the U.S. troops.

SIXTH: Hospital personnel said they saw virtually NO
dead fighters, only dead civilians, including women
and children. The number of such was under a dozen.

SEVENTH: The U.S. produced NO dead bodies (this should
have been easy to do if 54 Iraqi "fighters" died as
the U.S. claimed). Not a single person has seen ANY
of the "dozens" of Iraqi soldiers the U.S. said it
captured. Where is the usual photo op after such a
"great victory?" It should be easy to arrange one
(showing Iraqi soldiers handcuffed and sitting on
the ground, for example).

CONCLUSION: The U.S. faked a "big victory" for world-
wide propaganda consumption because U.S. troops got
the shit kicked out of them during the month of November.
The goal was to end the month having the world thinking
about America's "big victory" instead of thinking about
all the U.S. soldiers that died. The high number for
enemy "dead" was essential: It was meant to "even the
score" between the U.S. and Iraqi fighters in the minds
of the consumers of western media. Brilliant.

However, because of the high tech-multidimensional
nature of today's communication systems, it will be
difficult to make this big lie stick for long.

Expect a documentary produced by an independent
journalist to blow the lid off of the U.S. ruse in
Samarra within the next few weeks to months.
