Sadrein silence : the Mahdi Army is still in hiding,

صمت الصــــدريــين: مازال جيش المهدي متواريا عن الأنظار، لكن إلى متى؟Sadrein silence : the Mahdi Army is still in hiding, but for how long?
بقلم رود نوردلاند ـ (نيوزويك العربية)By Rod Nordland (Newsweek Arabic)

في وقت مبكر من المحاولة الأمريكية والعراقية الأخيرة لجلب الهدوء إلى بغداد، جعل أحد كبار المسؤولين العراقيين الكبار مقتدى الصدر موضوع دعواته.Early in the American and Iraqi attempt to bring the recent calm to Baghdad, making one senior Iraqi officials adults Muqtada al-Sadr the theme calls. تضرع بعد أن أنهى صلاته قائلا: "اللهم إما أن تهديه أو تبعده".After the difficulty that ended his prayers, saying : "O God, either guided or separate it." ويعتقد المسؤول، الذي تحدث شريطة عدم الكشف عن هويته، بأن دعواته قد أجيبت.It is believed official, who spoke on condition of not reveal his identity, that the invitations had been received. فقد اختفى الصدر تماما عن المشهد العراقي خلال الأسابيع الثلاثة الماضية، وكان جيش المهدي التابع للصدر هادئا بشكل لافت أيضا.Sadr has disappeared completely from the Iraqi scene in the past three weeks, and the Mahdi Army of a quiet way to the remarkable also. وتعزو الحكومة العراقية ذلك إلى خطة أمن بغداد الجديدة، وهي جزء من [عملية] زيادة القوات التي ستؤدي في النهاية إلى قدوم 005,12 جندي أمريكي جديد.The Iraqi government attributes to the new Baghdad security plan, which is part of [the] increase the forces that will ultimately lead to the advent of a new 005,12 American soldier. لكن هذا المسؤول يقول إن ما يجري حقا هو ترويض مقتدى.But this official says that what is happening is truly tamed Moqtada.
أعلنت القوات الأمريكية عن خطط لإقامة قاعدة داخل مدينة الصدر الشيعية في وقت متأخر من الأسبوع الماضي فقط.The American forces announced plans to establish a base within the Shiite Sadr City late in the last week alone. وما زالت معظم التعزيزات الأمريكية في طريقها إلى العراق.The most American reinforcements on the way to Iraq. لكن وبالرغم من تصاعد التفجيرات الانتحارية من قبل المتطرفين السنة، والتي يستهدف معظمها المدنيين الشيعة، فإن عدد قتلى الانتقام قد هبط بشكل درامي منذ انطلاق الخطة الأمنية في 41 فبراير.However, despite the escalation of suicide bombings by extremists year, which targeted civilians, mostly Shiites, the number of dead had revenge dropped dramatically since the start of the security plan in the 41 February. وقال وزير حقوق الإنسان وجدان سالم الأسبوع الفائت إن "القتل الطائفي قد هبط إلى ربع ما كان عليه [قبل ذلك بأسبوعين]، وهو انخفاض كبير".The Minister of Human Rights and the heart of Salem last week that "sectarian killings has fallen to a quarter of what it was before] two weeks], a substantial decline. " ويعيد المسؤول العراقي الكبير الفضل في ذلك إلى الضغط على الصدر من قبل رعاته السابقين في إيران، إضافة إلى آية الله السيستاني والمرجعية الشيعية في النجف.The Iraqi official, great thanks to the pressure on al-Sadr by former sponsors in Iran, in addition to any Ayatollah Sistani and Shiite authorities in Najaf. ويقول إن إيران تحجب المشورة العسكرية والعون عن الصدريين وغيرهم من العناصر المارقة، وتضغط عليهم لوقف عمليات القتل.He says that Iran obscure military advice and assistance on Sadrein and other rogue elements, and pressure them to stop the killing. ويضيف المسؤول أن "الصدر على قناعة بأنه لا طائل حقيقيا من هذا الكفاح، وأن [عمليات انتقام فرق الموت] قد عادت بنتائج عكسية".The official added that "Sadr is convinced that no real avail of this struggle, and [operations] avenge death squads have returned backfire. "
وتتخذ واشنطن موقفا أقل تفاؤلا فيما يتعلق بدور إيران في العراق.Washington and take a less optimistic with regard to the role of Iran in Iraq. فقد أعلنت السلطات العسكرية الأمريكية عن سلسلة من عمليات العثور على الأسلحة في الأيام الأخيرة، وكان من بينها مواد لتصنيع "القذائف المتفجرة" المميتة، وهي قنابل يزعم أنها من أصل إيراني يمكنها أن تخترق العربات المدرعة.The American military authorities announced a series of operations to find weapons in recent days, including the materials for manufacturing "explosive missiles" deadly bombs which allegedly of Iranian origin, can penetrate armored vehicles. لكن المسؤولين الإيرانيين أعربوا علنا عن دعمهم لخطة بغداد الأمنية، ووافقوا على الانضمام إلى مؤتمر إقليمي حول مستقبل العراق مع الولايات المتحدة ودول أخرى.But Iranian officials have publicly expressed their support for Baghdad security plan, and agreed to join the regional conference on the future of Iraq with the United States and other countries. ويقول مسؤول استخباراتي إيراني بارز، رفض الكشف عن هويته بسبب طبيعة عمله، إن "استراتيجية إيران تتمثل في تعزيز الحكومة المركزية في العراق [التي يهيمن عليها الشيعة] ودعمها بالطريقة المناسبة وفي الوقت المناسب".He says prominent Iranian intelligence official, who wishes to remain anonymous because of the nature of his work, that "Iran's strategy is to strengthen the central government in Iraq, [which] is dominated by Shiites and support appropriate manner and in a timely manner. "
من المؤكد أن التهديد الأمريكي بالقيام بعمل ما، كان له أيضا بعض الأثر على صمت الصدر.Certainly the American threats to do something, it had some impact on the silence of the chest. وحتى قبل 41 فبراير، كانت القوات الأمريكية والعراقية قد بدأت باستهداف مسؤولين كبار ومتوسطي المستوى في منظمة الصدر، فاعتقلت عددا من الشخصيات المهمة من بينهم، وقتلت اثنين على الأقل حاولا المقاومة.Even before 41 February, the American and Iraqi forces had started targeting senior officials and middle-level in the chest, arrested a number the important personalities from them, and killed at least two attempted resistance. وربما اكتسب تدخل حكماء الشيعة أهمية أكبر من ذلك.Perhaps gained intervention sages Shiites more important than that. وقد عقد الصدر اجتماعا في الساعة 00:11 مساء مع السيستاني قبل نحو شهر، مدفوعا بالذعر الذي انتابه بسبب الإجراءات الأمريكية الصارمة، وفقا لأحد مساعدي آية الله العظمى، الذي تحدث شرط عدم الكشف عن هويته تماشيا مع قواعد مكتب رجل الدين: "سأل السيد عما ينبغي أن يفعله بشأن الهجمات ضده، فقال له السيستاني إن أمامه خيارين: تحمل العواقب، على نفسك وعلى الشيعة عموما، أو الانسحاب إلى زاوية ما".Sadr has held a meeting in the evening at 0:11 a.m. with Sistani about a month ago, driven by the panic come to America because of the actions strict, according to one of the assistants Ayatollah, who spoke on condition his identity not be revealed, in line with the rules of the Office of the clergyman : "asked about what should be done about attacks against him, and said to him that al-Sistani has two options : , the consequences on yourself and on the Shiites in general, or withdraw to the corner. "
كانت الزاوية التي اختارها الصدر في مكان ما من إيران على الأرجح.The angle chosen by Sadr somewhere in the Iran likely to be. ويقول مسؤولون أمريكيون وعراقيون إنه توجه إلى إيران قبل أسبوعين.He says American officials and Iraqis that went to Iran two weeks ago. ويقول سامي العسكري، أحد مستشاري رئيس الوزراء نوري المالكي: "حسب معرفتي ما زال هناك. إنه رجل يحيط نفسه بالسرية".The military says Sami, an adviser to Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki : "as far as I know is still there. He is a man takes the same confidentiality. " تنفي كل من طهران والناطقين باسم الصدر بشدة أنه يختبئ في إيران، لكن اللافت هو أنه غاب عن خطب أيام الجمعة التي اعتاد عليها في مسجد الكوفة منذ ثلاثة أسابيع إلى الآن، ولم يظهر في أي مكان آخر علنا.Tehran denies both Sadr and spokesmen strongly that he is hiding in Iran, the interesting thing is that he was absent from the speeches days Friday had been accustomed to in the mosque of Kufa three weeks ago to now, did not appear anywhere else in public. ويقول أبو حازم، أحد قادة جيش المهدي السابقين في بغداد، إن "الصدر يتبع استراتيجية تدعى »الانحناء في وجه الريح« لأنه خسر شيئا من السيطرة على جيش المهدي. لم يعد الوضع كما كان عام 4002"، حين هددت انتفاضة دعا إليها رجل الدين الشاب بالامتداد إلى كافة أنحاء البلاد.He says Abu Hazim, one of the leaders of the Mahdi Army combatants in Baghdad that "al-Sadr to pursue a strategy called> bend in the face of the wind <it some lost control of the Mahdi Army. the situation is no longer as it was in 4002 ", when threatened uprising called by the man religion young spill over into all parts of the country.
يخشى بعض المحللين من أن الصدر والمتطرفين الشيعة ينتظرون الفرصة الملائمة.Some analysts feared that al-Sadr and the Shiite extremists waiting appropriate opportunity. لكنه انتظار قد يثبت عدم نجاعته مع وصول القوات الأمريكية خلال الشهرين التاليين.But waiting may not prove its efficiency with the arrival of the American forces during the following two months. وقد انفصلت مجموعة من الصدريين أخيرا في كربلاء، بعد أن ألقى أحدهم باللوم على صدريين آخرين بشأن قتل مدنيين، بمن فيهم شيخ بارز قريب من السيستاني.The group separated from Sadrein Finally, in Karbala, one of them after he threw the blame on Sidriin others on the killing of civilians, including those close to the Grand prominent al-Sistani. وقامت شرطة كربلاء بإلقاء القبض على 05 من أتباع الصدر.The Karbala police arrested 05 followers of al-Sadr. ويقول المسؤول العراقي البارز: "إنهم سيفقدون الاتصال مع جمهورهم حتى ولو لجأوا إلى الهدوء. إن جيشا منظما سيفقد قيادته وسيطرته".And prominent Iraqi official says : "They lose contact with their audiences even resorted to calm. The army organized lose leadership and control. " وتقول المسؤولة السياسية في السفارة الأمريكية مارغريت سكوبي إن الصدريين "قد يجدون فرصهم في استئناف العمل محدودة" بعد انتهاء زيادة القوات الأمريكية.According to the responsible political Margaret American embassy in Skopje that Sadrein "may find opportunities in the limited resumption of work" after the increase the American forces. وفي غضون ذلك، بإمكان السلطات تنفس الصعداء قليلا بوجود صف واحد فقط من المتطرفين في المعركة.In the meantime, authorities could breathe a sigh of relief just parked there and only one of the extremists in the battle.

السيستاني قال لمقتدى: »تحمل العواقب ...Muqtada al-Sistani said :> bear the consequences ... أو انسحب إلى زاوية من الزوايا«Or withdrew to the corner of the angles <

Controlling investment in Iraq

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

06 March 2007 (Gulf News)

With considerable fanfare, Iraq's Cabinet last week announced approval of a draft law that would permit foreign investment in the nation's oil industry and provide for distribution of oil revenues among the regions and thus the country's main sectarian blocs. Details of the draft are tricky. Revenues from current oil fields are to be shared according to population. Yet no recent census has been taken. The Kurdish region in the north and the provinces can sign new oil contracts, but these must be reviewed by an independent federal committee, not yet appointed. There is concern that foreign oil companies might try to get better terms by playing the provinces against one another. But some oil experts are sceptical of the significance of the measure. "It will not mean anything on the ground," says A.F. Al Hajji, an oil economist at Ohio Northern University in Ada.

As long as Iraq suffers from political instability, major oil companies will shy away. "The situation is so bad no one in his right mind wants to go there to be attacked or nationalised a second time." Fearing the consequences, "The oil companies never supported the invasion," Dr Al Hajji adds. Iraq's oil remains important to a world highly reliant on petroleum and its byproducts. Iraq has proven reserves of 115 billion barrels and, according to Iraqi oil economist Mohammad Ali Zainy, another 215 billion to 240 billion barrels not yet proven. Some of that new oil may cost as little as $1 a barrel to extract. By comparison, Saudi Arabia has 264 billion barrels of proven reserves.

Rush to approve

Because of sabotage by insurgents, Iraqi oil production has been running at less than 2 million barrels per day, down from 2.8 million barrels before the invasion of Iraq in March 2003, says Zainy, now with the Global Centre for Energy Studies in London.

To Al Hajji, the "rush" to approve the draft law reflects the need of the Iraqi government and the Bush administration to show some success‚ "even if it is as cosmetic as the new oil law." Zalmay Khalilzad, US ambassador in Iraq, stated the draft was the "first time since 2003 that all major Iraqi communities have come together on a defining piece of legislation."

Iraq's government hopes the nation's 275-member parliament will approve the draft before the end of May. The legislation will be extremely controversial. Opposition is expected from the powerful Oil Workers Union of Basra.

It staged strikes in 2005 objecting to America's plan to privatise Iraq's oil industry. A reviving Communist Party will oppose it.

Much of the Iraqi press also objects to aspects of the law. One sensitive provision allows "production sharing agreements" (PSAs) with foreign oil firms. In theory, Iraq would retain ownership and ultimate control of the oil in such a deal.

A PSA would merely grant the firm or consortium the right to explore, develop, and sell the oil, while getting a share of the oil extracted. History, however, is full of "unequal" PSAs highly favourable to oil companies and less favourable to oil nations. Zainy says that details of an oil contract are more important than whether it is called a PSA, a "production and development contract," or a service contract.

He fears "corruption, presently rampant in Iraq" could affect contracts, wasting much of the nation's main resource. During the 20th century, oil became the fulcrum of politics in the Middle East, with countries nationalise ing their oil resources and winning better oil deals.

American influence

The draft law "reverses everything that has happened in the Middle East since 1901," charges Rashid Khalidi, director of the Middle East Institute at Columbia University in New York.

Implying that American occupiers have had much influence on the measure, Khalidi asks: "Does [Vice-President] Cheney think he can stand against history?" Khalidi's latest book, "Resurrecting Empire," spells out the history of foreign exploitation of Iraqi oil, noting that resentment over "insufficient benefits" to Iraqis led to the popularity of the Baath government and nationalisation of the oil industry in 1975.

Khalidi doubts the draft law will pass parliament. "It is so manifestly against the interests of Iraq," he says. If it does, though, he doesn't expect the law to last. Presumably, an Iraq no longer occupied would seek better terms for any deal reached under the proposed law.

Al Hajji notes that contracts signed "under duress" are not legally binding. After Iran nationalised its oil industry in the 1950s, British lawyers for the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (now British Petroleum) contested the action in the International Court in the Hague and lost, despite Britain's superpower status then. In the future, Iraqi lawyers could similarly argue that any oil deal signed while Iraq was occupied was done under duress and thus was invalid.

After reading the draft law in Arabic last week, Al Hajji says, "It is so broad and loose, it has no significance."

Often, he says, nationalism in oil-rich nations rises during and after occupation by foreigners. That "will cause problems."

Bush: U.S. making progress in Iraq By BEN FELLER, Associated Press Writer
Tue Mar 6, 7:13 PM ET



WASHINGTON - President Bush said Tuesday his decision to send more troops to Baghdad is yielding "gradual but important" progress in Iraq. He portrayed himself as steadfast while Democrats squabble over strategy.

War-weary voters put Democrats in charge of Congress, but lawmakers have not decided how or whether to restrict Bush on Iraq through legislation. Bush seized on that divide and cautioned Democrats not to interfere with military missions.

"Other members of Congress seem to believe that we can have it all: that we can fight al-Qaida, pursue national reconciliation, initiate aggressive diplomacy and deter Iran's ambitions in Iraq — all while withdrawing from Baghdad and reducing our force levels," Bush said in a speech to the American Legion.

"That sounds good in theory, but doing so at this moment would undermine everything our troops have worked for. There are no shortcuts in Iraq," the president said.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., said Democrats are determined to lead a new direction on Iraq policy. That includes getting troops home and shifting the U.S. mission from combat to training, troop protection and counterterrorism.

"The war in Iraq is not making our country safer, our military stronger or the region more stable," Pelosi said Tuesday. "In fact, the war in Iraq is the greatest ethical challenge facing our nation."

The war is deeply unpopular. The White House also has been rocked by revelations of shoddy care for wounded soldiers at a premier Army hospital in Washington, angering lawmakers in both parties.

Bush said Democrats have a right to express their opinions. Then he methodically criticized several of their ideas: adding unrelated items to a war spending bill; narrowing the mission in Iraq; or placing conditions on money for the war.

The House has approved a symbolic measure disapproving of Bush's troop buildup. The proposal has stalled in the Senate. The White House is preparing for what it sees as the real political fight — the upcoming vote on a $100 billion war spending bill.

Bush said Congress should approve the war money without strings or delay. Military commanders, he said, should have "the flexibility to carry out their missions without undue interference from politicians in Washington."

Meanwhile, Bush said a security crackdown in Baghdad is showing "encouraging signs." The White House sees stability in the Iraqi capital as the centerpiece of a political, military and diplomatic plan to winning the war.

"Iraqi and U.S. forces are making gradual but important progress almost every day," Bush said. "We will remain steadfast until our objectives are achieved."

Iraq's government has kept its pledge to deploy three additional Iraqi army brigades to Baghdad and has lifted restrictions that prevented coalition and Iraqi forces from going into certain areas, the president said.

Yet bursts of violence continue as insurgents move elsewhere.

Two suicide bombers blew themselves up Tuesday in a crowd of Shiite pilgrims streaming toward the holy city of Karbala. The blasts killed 93 people in one of several attacks targeting the faithful ahead of a weekend holiday.

The attack came a day after U.S. forces suffered their deadliest day in nearly a month — nine American soldiers were killed in explosions north of Baghdad, the military said.

Bush announced in January he was sending an additional 21,500 U.S. troops to Iraq despite widespread opposition to the war and opposition to his plan in the Democratic-controlled Congress.

In the fight for public opinion, the White House has characterized Democrats as being against the troop increase without clearly articulating what they support

Bush sees 'test' for Iran, Syria, on Iraq by Olivier Knox
Tue Mar 6, 3:45 PM ET



WASHINGTON (AFP) - US President George W. Bush challenged Iran and Syria Tuesday to prove at a pair of upcoming international conferences on Iraq that they are serious about helping to quell deadly violence there.

"These meetings will be an important test. They'll be a test of whether Iran and Syria are truly interested in being constructive forces in Iraq," he said in a speech to the American Legion US veterans organization.

The two conferences will also "will be a test for the international community to express its support for this young democracy, to support a nation that will be at peace with its neighbors," said the president.

Bush was referring to Iraq's call for a March 10 conference in Baghdad grouping officials from Iraq's neighbors as well as the five permanent members of the UN Security Council -- Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States -- and the Arab League and the Organization of the Islamic Conference.

The US president also noted that there would be a subsequent meeting in April of foreign ministers from around the world, including US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, to discuss Iraq's future.

Tehran said on Monday it was "not hostile" to joining its arch enemy Washington and other permanent UN Security Council members at the March 10 talks.

Iran's foreign ministry had stressed on Sunday that no direct talks were planned between Iran and the United States at the Baghdad conference, while the US ambassador in Baghdad said no decision had been made on the matter.

Iran and the United States have not had normal diplomatic relations since Washington severed ties in 1980 in the wake of the seizure of its embassy in Tehran by Islamist students.

Any direct contacts between the two sides would mark a major break in the frozen relations, which have been marked by mutual recriminations and enmity over almost three decades.

Washington has repeatedly accused Tehran of fomenting the violence in Iraq and arming Shiite extremists who have carried out deadly attacks on Iraqis and US troops. Iran vehemently denies the charges.

In his speech, Bush also took aim at opposition Democrats now in control of the US Congress over their efforts to curb the war in Iraq and even in some cases threaten to cut off funds for US military operations there.

Bush said lawmakers have "a responsibility" to pay for the war and warned against "undue interference from politicians in Washington" in the way US military commanders in Iraq "carry out their missions."

And he assailed lawmakers calling for a withdrawal of US troops from Iraq.

They "seem to believe that we can have it all: That we can fight Al-Qaeda, pursue national reconciliation, initiate aggressive diplomacy, and deter Iran's ambitions in Iraq -- all while withdrawing from Baghdad and reducing our force levels," he said.

"That sounds good in theory, but doing so at this moment would undermine everything our troops have worked for," he charged.

Bush said it was "too early to judge" the impact of the US-led crackdown in Baghdad and the increase in US troops it required and warned of future "spectacular attacks" as extremists try to derail the strategy.

"Yet even at this early hour, there are some encouraging signs," he said, pointing to Iraqi military deployments in Baghdad, a loosening of restrictions on US military action there, the discovery of weapons caches and capture of extremists
