The Hidden Facts 

Statement of the 1920 Revolution Brigades 
Baghdad, September 8, 2007

Free people of the world, we believe it is time to provide you with
another updated report on the status of the war as we in the resistance
factions perceive. We have several indications from the fields and from
within the puppet government in Baghdad that the tactics used by the
occupation forces have developed, yet the strategic aims that drive
them, remains the same and in order to clarify the nature of such
developments we must return to the facts.

The invasion of Iraq was based on lies mainly as we all must not
forget, that the previous government was stocking weapons of mass
destruction and had links to the infamous Al-Qaida. After the initial
stages of this war, the world discovered the scale of the White House
deception. To avoid accountability and responsibility, the declared
reasons gradually shifted to spreading democracy and taking the war to
them; as if the Iraqi people were responsible for the events of 9/11.
Buying time, while testing different tactics to achieve any levels of
success that maybe marketed as a victory or achievement, became a
priority.

The project then collapsed, and the Pentagon woke up to a new reality.
The Iraqi people did not welcome an invasion, as some traitors have
guided. And the Iraqi Army which could not engage such a superior force
with its outdated equipment in a classic battlefield, has handed over
the cities to the occupier.

Large urban societies would require enormous financial support and the
funds found in Iraq?s Banks would eventually disappear in the hands of
looters. New funds would be required. Bush cannot simply ask for more
funds from the US tax payer. But now that Bush controls Middle East
Oil, he has no option but to increase the international price of oil,
to cover the increasing cost of occupying our Country. This decision
was the next mistake, we in the resistance were praying for. The
additional revenues that would be available for Bush would also be
available for other oil producing states, mainly Russia, Venezuela, and
Iran. Each would benefit from the extra revenues in enforcing their
position in the international arena.

Russia today after five years is stronger and is rebuilding its
previous glory. Iran, which aided US intervention in Afghanistan then
Iraq succeeded in using US power to weaken two fronts; build a larger
and more powerful army, fund its nuclear ambitions, and support any
organization in the Middle East that is opposed to Israel and the US,
regardless of sect or agenda, in an attempt to extort the US into
giving any concessions a defeated and cornered White House could spare.

Venezuela today nationalized many of its industries reviving its
economy and having more to say, when it comes to oil pricing. China has
a growth rate that is confidently reaching the 4th. As for Europe, it
is lost in between.

With a Euro currency too strong to allow a considerable rise in
exports, a union which requires restructuring before accepting new
members, a birth rate that is at its lowest due to strains and
taxations on its working class, and energy requirements that increase
along with costs, the future of Europe and its weak governments is not
so promising. Europe, must find ways to enforce its own will and
interests and work in conjunction with Russia to restore world
stability and balance. As for the fragile sheikhdoms that export oil in
the Arabian Gulf, we assure you that they are exporting at maximum
output.

They are also in fear of Iran which could easily cause havoc by firing
a few missiles across the Gulf. This will devastate the stock markets,
and booming property based industries which add up to their financial
back bone. They also cannot publicly assist the Iraqi Resistance until
the US simple evacuates to avoid being labeled as funders of terrorism. 

In Iraq, Bremer disbanded the Iraqi Army, giving us more men and
eagerness to free Iraq of its occupiers. And the amount of weapons
stocks we stored will last us for fifty years if not more. 

The White House faced with all this, decided that a puppet government
would assist in reducing the financial and administration strains in
Iraq, Bush then turned to the Kurdish Parties and the Persian backed
militias for assistance. But, at what cost? Neither Turkey will accept
an independent Kurdish state on its southern borders, nor Iran, will
stop at simply aiding the US and easing its burden by controlling the
south of Iraq and have the US concentrate their efforts on central
Iraq. On the contrary, the puppet government?s ministries of influence
such as the Interior and Defense, were handed over to the Iranian
backed militias. Clarifying even more the secret arrangement between
the US and Iran. Here the White House believed that by trying to
enforce sectarian violence amongst Iraqis the level of attacks on US
troops will be reduced, but this tactic, as we also predicted, has also
failed. Iraqis have a high rate of intersect marriages, and that
deprives anyone the ability to divide such a society by sect. Also the
amount of killings and sadistic brutality of these militias has left
the US and its puppet government in Baghdad exposed internationally.
Today these militias, have become the major source of instability in
Iraq. 

We must also not forget that the atrocities at Abu-Ghraib prison and
the use of chemical weapons on our civilians added to the failure. The
Pentagon then increased the numbers of security contractors who have a
high price tag, and gave them more field duties, this way if any are
killed, there figures are not disclosed as is the case with the
green-card soldiers. Also today the number of security contractors in
Iraq is almost equal to the amount of military personnel. As for the
Islamic Party which claims it represents the Sunnis in the puppet
government; they have played all their cards with no positive gains,
and more pressure is being enforced on them by us, to withdraw, and
deprive it from its legal status. We know they will pull out sooner or
later for they have nothing to offer to the Iraqi people.

And staying in power will do more harm.

The Pentagon and under order of Rumsfield resorted to a new tactic. If
Iraqis are not accepting what the US wants, they must simply leave
Iraq. In essence, change people of Iraq. Make them refugees in
neighboring countries until they dissolve in their host societies. And
when these counties complain, bully or bribe them into silence. True,
it will effect our people and create an imbalance in the composition of
our society, but again to our advantage. Our people who leave as
refugees will be safer, and when they find jobs whatever they may be,
in neighboring countries, they provide the minimums for their families
and acquire the working skills required to rebuild Iraq after victory. 

Free people of the world as this conflict develops we are more sure of
our predictions and analysis. And the foreign players in Iraq today
have reached the state where their interest are no longer common. There
is more to disagree on and conflict is present. And looking at all the
details of the timeline of this conflict as we have explained, we do
not see one correct decision or action taken on the part of the US. Not
one single positive achievement. This by far, is the most costly pack
of lies any criminal has come up with. This is why Bush today, is alone
and isolated in his own little world. All his generals and strategists
cannot offer him a solution.

His people do not believe in him and his army of looters and thieves is
lost, tired, and disoriented. The true reasons of this war as we all
know is oil, world domination, corporate government, and the guarantee
of existence to the so called state of Israel. 

Here we must not forget that the Iraqi Resistance, and despite all the
reservations that some might have, has set a unique example that will
be studied by historians and analysts for years to come. Most
importantly it has taught the world of oppressed nations and societies
that a self sufficient resistance movement in our modern times is
possible, and can destabilize the most powerful opponents let alone
local governing bodies that cooperate with imperial powers. They are
much easier to remove and eradicate and this reverses the known
equation. One free man, can change the outcome of a day.

The Resistance has proved to the world that it is through morality and
determination that you can achieve and gain your rights and that
ideological pretext that is marketed by the US media as being the cause
of this war, is nothing but another lie. Religions have coexisted for
thousands of years in peace, why is it now a problem. Idealogic and
religious fanaticism on all sides is only the excuse and not the reason
which is economic gain and influence. The Resistance has also proved
that the highly consumable capital based economies cannot fight long
wars, and their greed for energy to sustain a specific lifestyle will
eventually grind humanity into a global market of exploitation and
slavery only to be followed by total collapse.

Capitalism as is tested more and more with less energy available will
eventually fail. 

In all what we have stated, we are proud to say that the Iraqi
Resistance has and continues to redefine the meaning of the word
conquest .

We also extend our hands again and again to those troops in Iraq who
are still holding on to their morality and humanity, to those who do
not want to be part of this crime, that the doors of our mosques and
churches will always remain open for. And we in the resistance will
honor your humanity and will assist you in discreetly taking you out of
Iraq into neighboring countries where you will not be prosecuted and
labeled as deserters. We know there are many amongst you who want to
leave, but we can only help if you gather the courage to express
sorrow, remorse, and detachment from this crime.

We have smuggled out tens and tens of honest men who thought they were
coming to Iraq for a cause. Only a few cases such as US Marine Wassef
Ali Hasoun who was captured then during interrogation it was clearly
evident that this man was not a criminal and thus, we could not harm
him. We undertook the task of taking him out of Iraq to safety. We are
usually more heavy handed with punishment, when we find people of Arab
or Iraqi origin who aid the US. 

Another is a supplies driver by the name of Mohammad Ali Sanad, who was
working for a Kuwaiti company that was supplying goods to US Bases.
During interrogation and extensive dialogue it was clearly evident that
this man was sorry for what he did, even the transport company he
worked for, known as ?Faisal al Neheet? stopped its cooperation with
the occupation, closed its offices in Baghdad, and left. He was also
released and these are only two examples that we can declare only
because the cases went public, as we do not intend to jeopardize the
lives of others we helped. 

We also extend our appreciation and respect to all the honorable people
around the world, the heroes of dignity and freedom, the brave men and
women of the anti-globalization and Peace movements. We in Iraq are
thankful and grateful for all what you have done and your continued
efforts to end this conflict and confront the white collar criminals of
corporate governments.

May God bless you all and continue to engulf you with patients and
resolve. 

To the American people we say, you have finally awakened and the
millions of honorable people amongst you have now realized that the
Iraqi people are not your enemies, and they are not responsible for
your grief. It is your troops which occupied our country, and not us
yours. The arrogant war criminal who rules in your name has humiliated
your nation & military honor and we believe, that a democracy that is
not willing to fight for its own freedom, is no better that a raw
dictatorship. Your great efforts to remove the ware criminal from the
White House has changed the equation in your government tremendously.
But it to great disappointment that Bush is insisting even more in his
arrogance to go against your will in ending this war. Bush does not
respect his own people and we believe that because he knows that a
political solution will not be reached with the Iraqi Resistance, he
will leave to democrats a heavy burden by the time he leaves office. He
cannot comprehend that a few good men have brought has project in the
Middle East to a complete halt. Bush cannot stay in Iraq where he is
caught between the fire of the resistance and that of Iran. 

And if he leaves after all these losses and humiliation the oil rich
south of Iraq will be in the hands of Iran. And this is what US
strategy cannot accept. Bush?s last attempt and revenge will be to pull
out of Iraq and plan its disintegration into 3 geographically carved
states. Then strike the strategic assets of Iran, to bring its already
strained economy down to collapse. 

Thus the democrats will be left with a Middle East that is even more
unstable than it is now. And despite our knowledge that when it comes
to strategic interests both parties do not conflict and it is only the
methods that bear the difference, The democrats have a chance to end
this conflict in a face saving solution for the US, by first declaring
that they recognize the factions of the Iraqi resistance as the
representatives of the Iraqi people and the Iraqi Republic. After which
a negotiating team would be arranged to negotiate your troop
withdrawal, compensation of Iraq, and matters of future interest. It is
only through the Iraqi resistance, that a solution may be born. 

Finally we say to Bush and those behind him. You can go all you want
with your plans, strategies, and executions, and we with ours. Lead
your troops into battle with every high tech gadgetry and equipment,
military science as ever developed, and we will go as primitive and
creative as we can, creating the necessary gap that continues to
deprive you of the upper hand. Attack with all your force if we leave
you a trace, for so many traces were left for fool & arrogant. Hide all
you true casualties and we will deprive you of new recruits. Raise the
oil prices more and strengthen other aspiring nations & we will deprive
you of ours, then raise the cost of occupation till we break your bones
in Baghdad and Babylon.

Wander the shelves of history in search of methods to adapt, and we
will confront you with a form of variable, adaptable, and reversible
asymmetric warfare that will set the standard for years and years to
come.

And may the best man win !
