The USG Open Source Center translates an interview with the police chief of Basra, Staff Maj-Gen. Abdul Jalil Khalaf. Therein, Khalaf denies that Iran is playing a negative role and stirring turmoil in the southern port city of 1.5 million. Khalaf was appointed by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki about six months ago. He is therefore not running interference for a local Basra militia with ties to Iran, e.g. In fact, he has been scathing on the Shiite militias and has escaped numerous assassination attempts. Al-Maliki has correct relations with Iran, but his Da`wa Party is not as close to Tehran as some others.

Iraqi Basra police commander dismisses accusations against Iran

Text of report by state-run Iranian Arabic-language television news channel Al-Alam on 17 January
The commander of Basra Police, Staff Maj-Gen Jalil Khalaf, has described the US-British accusations that Iran is meddling in Iraqi affairs and undermining the security situation as nothing more than a political game. He said the Iraqi security services have not obtained any evidence pointing to a negative Iranian interference in southern Iraq.

(Al-Alam TV correspondent in Basra Ni’mah Abd-al-Razzaq) Iran is backing the armed groups in southern Iraq. This accusation which the US and British forces of occupation have continuously and repeatedly made in the past few years has not been backed up with facts, according to the (Iraqi) field commanders in southern Iraq. The commander of Basra Police, Staff Maj-Gen Jalil Khalaf, described the US and British accusations against Iran as nothing more than a political game, saying that the Iraqi security services have not found any evidence which would point to an Iranian interference in southern Iraq.

(Staff Maj-Gen Khalaf – recording) I tell you this in all honesty, when I find any evidence I will announce it openly, but so far I have not found any. In my capacity as field commander and as a professional, I tell you I have not found any evidence. As regards the countries (concerned), it is their problem and this is politics.

(Abd-al-Razzaq) The police commander, who is known to be rigorous in his pursuit of the gunmen and who, as a result, was the target of nine assassination attempts, derided what is known as the awakening councils in southern Iraq and expressed his total opposition to them.

(Staff Maj-Gen Khalaf) First of all, we were not asleep and have just awakened. I am opposed to the awakening committees (as heard) in the south. What I mean is that I am not opposed to the Awakening Councils in Iraq, but in the south we do not need Awakening Councils.

(Abd-al-Razzaq) Basra Police recently announced that it had raided a camp operated by it described as terrorists in Al-Mudaynah area, north of Basra, where it seized large quantities of weapons and explosive devices. Basra Police did not, however, reveal the identity of the people who were captured in that raid.

The field commanders in southern Iraq have repeatedly denied any negative Iranian interference in Iraqi affairs and yet the US and British forces of occupation are trying to lean on this pretext to justify their failure in Iraq, according to observers.

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – The Dutch town of Breda has decided to rename a new street that was to have been called St. Fiacrius court after people started calling it Viagra court. Town changes street name over Viagra jibe

The NYT reports,

“the Department of Defense has agreed so far this fiscal year to sell or transfer more than $32 billion in weapons and other military equipment to foreign governments, compared with $12 billion in 2005. The trend, which started in 2006, is most pronounced in the Middle East, . . .’

There are two reasons that this policy is not a good idea. The first is that there is good if not conclusive evidence that arms purchases are correlated with the outbreak of inter-state conflict. It is even more sure that when states purchase a lot of weapons, it impels their neighbors to do so, as well.

The bad news is that the extra arms do not cut down on internal insurgencies, either. So big arms sales reduce security, make war more likely, do nothing to put down rebellions, and drain resources from investments by the state that might actually help people.

A second reason that the NYT article is bad news is that the US may end up having to fight against its own weapons.

For instance, the Pakistani military is now flying F-16s over the northwestern tribal areas that the US has been attack. What if they just start shooting down US Predator unmanned strike craft?

The News (Pakistan) reports that

‘ According to sources, US troops boarded on two helicopters were trying to enter onto Pakistan’s areas near Angoor Adda along Pak-Afghan border when local tribes and troops of Pakistan army resisted the move and opened fire, forcing US helicopters to return. ‘

Pakistan is obviously pushing back against Bush’s July authorization of US strikes and attacks on targets inside Pakistan (whereby W. adopted a policy first argued for by Barack Obama).

In fact, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani called President Asaf Ali Zardari on Sunday in Dubai to discuss with him the “need to defend Pakistan’s sovereignty,” which is to say, the need to engage invading US troops in battle!

Howard LaFranchi of CSM reveals the reason for Bush’s about-face:

‘ The administration has debated the use of commando raids in Pakistan for years, but the tipping point came in July, as relations with Pakistan’s civilian and military leaders deteriorated, intelligence sources say. The “kicker,” according to one source who requested anonymity over the sensitivity of the issue, was two July events: the bombing of India’s embassy in Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul, an act that US intelligence officials concluded was aided by Pakistani intelligence operatives; and a July 13 attack on a US military outpost in eastern Afghanistan that killed nine US soldiers. The outpost attack was carried out by Taliban militants who had crossed over the nearby border from Pakistan.’

He also quotes Pat Lang, to whom American bombing of Pakistan looks an awful lot like the spillover of the Vietnam War onto Cambodia under Nixon.

Myra McDonald asks if the US is at war with Pakistan?

OK, so at the same time the US is invading South Waziristan because Pakistan allegedly won’t do it, the Pakistani military is killing 32 people in Bajaur with helicopter gunships, including 3 women. 300,000 residents of Bajaur had fled, then started tor return because of a Ramadan ceasefire, but now are fleeing again.

The way I make sense of all this is that the Pakistani military has feuds with some Pushtun tribes, for instance maybe the Tarkalanis in the northern FATA of Bajaur, which are in rebellion against the Pakistani government.

It also has a feud with the Mahsuds of South Waziristan. In fact, Baitullah Mahsud is a leader of the Tehrik-i Taliban and was accused of assassinating Benazir Bhutto. Pakistani troops have repeatedly fought the Mahsuds.

But maybe one sept of the Mahsuds has gone over to become assets of the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence. And the Pakistani military sometimes sends this clan from the Mahsud over the border to Afghanistan to do its bidding.

So the Pakistani high command can always point to all it is doing to fight terrorism, how many insurgents it has killed and troops it has lost, and it is perfectly true. But then President Hamid Karzai and Delhi can complain that Islamabad is facilitating Taliban terrorism in Afghanistan, and, well, maybe that is true, too.

So presumably if the US predators or special ops teams would hit Bajaur, or the rebellious part of South Waziristan, it wouldn’t be such a big deal for the Pakistani elite. The objectionable thing is that the US is hitting Islamabad’s Taliban.

Or maybe it is even more complex, with the high command in Islamabad locked in combat with the Mahsuds of South Waziristan but the Pakistani frontier constabulary sympathizing with them.

The oddest thing.
