Oh no, we're not using Israeli tactics.
Washington is looking to Tel Aviv to help strengthen its hand in anti-resistance operations in Iraq by employing Israeli advisers.
The British daily, the Guardian, reported on Tuesday that US intelligence and military had confirmed that the Israeli army had sent warfare specialists to Fort Braggs in North Carolina where US special forces are based.
The newspaper report also said that US special forces units were inside Syria, preventing alleged resistance fighters trying to make their way into Iraq.
"This is basically an assassination programme. That is what is being conceptualised here. This is a hunter-killer team," a former senior US intelligence official told the newspaper, adding that he feared the new tactics and enhanced cooperation with Israel would only inflame a volatile situation in the Middle East.
"It is bonkers, insane. Here we are - we're already being compared to Sharon in the Arab world, and we've just confirmed it by bringing in the Israelis and setting up assassination teams."
The move, according to an Egyptian military analyst, will only enflame tensions in the region.
...“It (US policy) is a failure because they cannot conquer all of Iraq…They (Iraqis) are a fighting people and very good warriors,” said the former Brigadier-General, who asked not to be identified.
“You can see that the way the American troops behave towards the Iraqis is similar to what the Israelis do in Palestine,” he said. article
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
