My Iraqi Leader...
A few months ago, I fell in love. I mean badly in love. Yeah HUBBY knows about it, cuz he too kinda fell in love, but umm not to that extreme. I knew my love wasnt gonna last. I knew that something is gonna happen and end it all. I just knew it. For me, he was the epitome of how an Iraqi leader should be. For me, he was the epitome of that strong Arab Man with his tribal demeanour and looks. OMG, to me, he was the love I wanted my country to have. But now, now he is gone. The criminals killed him. He is gone, and with him went my love...
Im so upset. Im so angry. When I read the breaking news I couldnt help but cry. I called HUBBY a few times, I needed to talk to him, I needed him to know, to know that the only guy we believed in is now gone...What a shame...What a real shame. Abu Reesha fought the criminals, Abu Reesha had Al Anbar back on the world map. Abu Reesha even made Bush's curiousity take him there, take him there to see that leader, that leader that lead the "awakening"...And now I wish he never went...I wish Bush never visited. Abu Reesha, the man who really would have made a difference. Yes he really would have made a difference. But now he is gone, and with him went my love...
Al Qaeda called him a traitor for fighting them, the current Government disliked him for they saw in him competition. Great competition. And had he run for the elections, I would have been the first to have voted for him. I was writing a post about him a few days ago, but didnt really complete it, said to myself will post it at a later date. But now, theres no point. Theres no point at all...For now he is gone, gone and with him went my love...
I remember telling my family members about him, they didnt know who I was talking about. I was shocked, "you never heard of Abu Reesha???" I asked surprisingly...No, we havent. So I started telling them about him, and when he'd appear on TV I would just jump out of excitement. To me, he could have lead this country and save it from the chaos and the blood filled rivers. To me, he truly was a leader, an Arab leader, an Iraqi leader...A leader that this country is so unlucky not to have embraced him. To me he was an amazing example. But now he is gone, gone and with him went my love...The only Love I had, the only love I had for an Iraqi Leader...My Iraqi Leader...

Neurotica Luv We lament & in all sorrow wish to join you in this huge sad dissapiontment YES IRAQ & THE WHOLE PENINSULA NEED visioneries who are out of thier blinkered shell like visors & broadly visualise the globe & the way forth maybe it is still poss. for a broad minded person to come to to the fore & be elected yours as always www.bfbs.com walter@swedenmail.com your OLAFF
Hi NIW, I felt very very mad as well. Having said that, it wasn't a surprise to me cause there are just too many parties (both inside and outside the so called political process!) who would benefit from his death and it was just a matter of time before they get their act together which they did. I wouldn't exclude anybody from being a suspect especially the government and we may have just seen a "collboration of evil". I think Bush's visit (unintentionally) have accelerated his death since with Bush heading there and not Baghdad was a kind of slap on the face to the government that is hiding in the GZ. I believe that it dawned on them (the Iraqi government) that this guy can no longer be ignored and his future presence can no longer tolerated especially after the visit and the recognition by the Americans of his enormous breakthrough. So they decided to get rid of him just like the mafia. I am not saying that it is not Al Qaida but they were his enemy all along and they could not get him plus I think he has made the necessary precautions against them. This is an insider's job. Somebody got paid big time to do it. Usama-Vancouver
Dear Neurotica....i am so angry too. I see those photos of George Bush shaking hands with him and the difference of expression in the 2 faces. Did he know GB was almost signing his death warrant...I suspect so. I just pray that it works against what the perpetrators hoped and brings more men to the forefront who are willing to pick up the baton and run with it, to bring some hope to your beleaguered country.
Hey, Neurotic - I totally agree with you. Abu Reesha was a visionary, and a true PATRIOT.
As to who killed him, it could be anyone, but was more than likely those Sunnis who do not want a unified Iraq, or AQI - they've been bad mouthing him and trying to assassinate him for a long time. This time, they didn't fail.
However, Abu Reesha's work has been so successful, I'd wager the proud citizens of Anbar, and the sheiks who are part of the awakening, will not let his death be in vain.
Too many people benefitted from the peace and security. Too many people enjoyed being able to breathe easier, send their children to school, go to work, shop at the markets.
I doubt (and pray) that the citizens of Anbar will not let the terrorists undo the great things Abu Reesha and the awakening have done, and I pray they continue his work, because Anbar is, truly, a vision of what Iraqis can do when they put aside the sectarian crap, band together, and fight for their country.
Oh, to the commenter who suggested it was the gov't... I can't buy into that, for one reason - this government accomplishes very little, and when they do, it takes them forever. I just don't see how they could have planned this and successfully carried it through in just a few days.
Hello NIW from the newbie,
I know I'm half around the globe from you, but I'm sad and am mourning with you. I don't understand car bombs/suicide bombs/ roadside bombs. I just don't. I wish people didn't use them to deal with their problems.
Julie
hi neurotica. i also have not heard of Abu Reesha . but i will mourn his death with u , if he was working for the betterment of Iraq.
This man had three other attempts
on his life before Bush visted ...
There is still a "hardcore Baathist" al-queda alliance in Iraq wich needs to be wiped out
as it wants to rule Iraq like Saddam.
and then the Shia militias wich are influence by Iran which also
want to rule like Saddam
once these factions are
diminished more progress
can be made throught Iraq
If Western Region and Baghdad can be stabalized... then with a stronger
Iraqi Army Maliki can begin working
on Southern Iraq and getting the Iranians out
Overall it seems fewer car and truck bombs in Baghdad this month
so some improvement there.
I don't know if you read your comments anymore... :p
But I read you years ago and I'm impressed to see you're still around.
Good for you. I liked you then; I like you now.
God bless and Ramadan Kareem.
"There is still a "hardcore Baathist" al-queda alliance in Iraq".
I am not sure that is exactly accurate. In fact, it borders on being completely inaccurate.
From what I have read on the interrnet, Abu Risha started off working with a group called AL AWDA, former Baathist secularists who opposed Alqueda.
reading this article from journalist FROM ANBAR,
Iraq's Sunnis face new conflict
By Maher al-Jasem in Hiyt, Iraq
The latest fighting began when former members of Saddam's disbanded Baath party started attacking other Sunnis who were working with Al-Qaeda and foreign Islamists to carry out attacks against the American army, Iraqi police and the country's majority Shias.
The ex-Baathists' offensive has been so successful, local people say, that Iraqi groups working with al-Qaeda have been forced to divert their attacks away from the Americans to focus on fighting the al-Awda party, as the new secular Sunni movement is called.
In early November, this growing conflict took a new turn when masked gunmen linked to al-Qaeda distributed flyers and posters throughout al-Anbar province threatening to execute anyone from Al-Awda.
"The Baath secular party will find no quarter in the new principality of the Islamic State of Iraq," read one flyer.
Since then, several high-ranking officials from the former Iraqi army have been found murdered throughout Anbar province.
... This provoked a sharp response from Sheikh Abdel Sattar Abu Risha, a leading member of the Al-Awda grouping.
"If there is a bandit then it is you. If there is a killer it is also you," he said of al-Dhari.
The former Baathist fighters of Al-Awda are believed to be relatively secular.
Many of their opponent's share Al-Qaeda's dream of founding a Sunni caliphate in Iraq which will then be the launchpad for attacks on Americans, Shias and Arab governments around the region.
Who killed Abu Risha? Let's see, who was complaining that the US was working with him?
I have found many articles online from Aburisha's people accusing the Iraqui government and maliki of killing him.
TH
Abu Risha's own people accused Maliki
...مصرع ابو رشة .... متابعة ...اتهام الحكومة بتدبير حادث الاغتيال
بغداد المحتلة - واع - من اراس الناصري
اتهم مقربين لستار ابو ريشة حكومة الاحتلال الرابعة بتدبير حادث اغتيال رئيس مجلس صحوة الانبار ...
حالة من التوتر والارتباك في الرمادي بعد وروزد انباء الاغتيال ...
Oh Olaff, Im so so upset. He was our only glimmer of hope, and now he is gone...
Usama, there are alot of enemies who want to kill him, be it the govt, be it the qaeda, be it the militias. Anyone, anyone can do it.
Beams, the thing is, no one really knew him well before Bush's visit. Even the Arab media didnt really start interviewing him except lately. Thats why when I used to talk abt him to my family, they never knew who I was talking abt. But after the visit, it bceame like a media galore for Abu Reesha. He should have stayed low, he should have...I remember when I saw an interview for him on Al Arabiya tv, I said shit, this man is gonna get killed, and that was just 4 days ago!!!
Julie, these car bombs and suicude killers are nothing but al Qaeda ideolgies. They brain wash young men in telling them stupid things. It was never an Iraqi thing, never.
alonesoul, yes, everyone should mourn him. He really was my hero. He fought Al Qaeda, and saved his people. Al Anbar, to the surprise of many became a role model...But then again, now he is gone...
Anon, and what makes you think Maliki doesnt support the Iranians???Or the Militias??? Yes fewer car bombs, but one of my coworkers told me that kidnappings rose big time...
Jeff, thanx. I think I lost alot of my initial readers...My blabbing got to them. Im glad youre back...
I dunno Anon, as I said it could be anyone. Anyone who doesnt want Iraq to be stable...
There is an article I found written back in March abt him:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/03/world/middleeast/03sheik.html?pagewanted=1&ei=5070&en=16c89187f81d6733&ex=1189828800
Hello Neurotica,Anon Has probably a justification in suggesting that These puppet so called official axis of eviviranien agents may be behind the attrocities & killing of our ally Abu Reesha These filthy thugs couln´t stand equalising the equation to move forth as it doesn´t suit the iranien meddling evil plan the sooner they are oblitterated the better Allo the best darling www.bfbs.com Your OLAFF

Hello NIC , nice post.

I found this nice vedio by someone called Maz Jobrani
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYlaIxNX01Q
They're killing everybody. Iraq is no more.
ha. Yeah Men exist NIW. I take Jason's comment as sarcasm. Often women take pride in political with improper connection. NiW I get the feeling from your posts your female aptitude has left you out of your husbands life and your love challenged. I know strong women in the connection with pirrahna able and inclned to dissolve your negativity. Your faith in your husband is much more a denial requisite for a mock up of distinct youthful love. I ask you to tell the truth and build the union I know you hold honored in the community you attempt to tune us all into. As men do exist. Please make your strength the infection double fisted in an ordianary fight the world resoundly cherish 's. Don't let them rule us if they must exist.
I haven`t heard about him either. But now that I`ve read this, I do feel very sorry for his lost life, I can not say I am surprised cause justice is long gone, is there anyone who could take his place? anyone at all?
hug from Belgrade
P.S. could I have your e mail, you might have given it before but I missed it, I really would like to get in touch with you.
P.S. 2:) saw your comment about your internet baby:) LOL, you are one funny little single wife;)

NIW,
My sincere sympathy at the loss of your "loved one". I felt like crying when I heard the news. I was very disturbed by it, and I still am. When I first read about and saw photos of Abu Risha a few months ago, I thought now here is a wise and ethical man, a true leader with principles. He won't be bought off by anyone. He seemed honest, putting the welfare of the Iraqi people foremost, and also gifted in diplomacy. I thought he was extremely brave to attend the memorial services for US soldiers killed in Anbar. He showed genuine respect for the men and grief for their families. That alone signed his death warrant with Al Qaeda. But, he did what he believed was right and did it without hiding from the camera, nor seeking any publicity.
I kept thinking if only he was the Prime MInister, instead of Maliki, the situation would be much improved by now. I was hopeful that he would be appreciated by the Iraqis and be willing to aspire to that position in the near future. But, the evil ones killed the bright light of his leadership and stole a treasure from the Iraqi people. I sincerely hope a spokesman and leader will rise up from those who supported Abu Risha and carry on with his vision.

NIW- I have a question for you. Do you think that Saddam was friends with or friendly with al-qaeda before the US invasion?
I emailed this question to Neurotica and would like to pose it to those who comment here.
Tina Susman reports for The Los Angeles Times, "A car bomb blew up in the capital's Shiite Muslim neighborhood of Sadr City on Thursday, killing at least four people, as a new survey suggested that the civilian death toll from the war could be more than 1 million."
Add to this million another million killed earlier in the Gulf War and years of bombings plus the civilians killed (mostly children) by the sanctions.
The total is two million killed, for a nation much smaller than
Vietnam. How can anyone imagine Iraqis are grateful to us Americans for this
genocide?
That's 7% of their population. It's as though 21 million Americans had been killed (7%). Would we be grateful to our murderers? That's far more than the Jews the Nazis killed percentage wise! Why are we not calling this a genocidal war?
Jason, you have no idea what your talking about. Why are we not calling this a genocidal war? Genocide means to deliberately kill a certain group, so you are implying that Americans are killing Iraqi civilians on purpose. Your evidence is a car bomb carried out by Iraqi militants which led to the deaths of other Iraqis. This is evidence of civil war, not genocide. You say that we killed a million civilians in the Gulf war, but the number of civilians killed is estimated around 35,000 and once again that war was not Genocide, it was a campaign to protect Kuwait. Also, Iraq is larger than Vietnam by around 40,000 square miles, so I don't know where that fact came from. Finally, the Nazi's killed 33% of the worlds Jewish population (6 million/ 18 million), which is far larger than the 7% you had claimed. Until we (Americans) start setting up Iraqi death camps and shooting children in the streets, you cannot call this a genocide, regardless of whether or not this war is a mistake.
You really think invading a country and killing, raping, torturing and terrorizing millions of it's people is just an unfortunate accident? That it wasn't done on purpose?
Besides "death camps" do exist. The average Iraqi home, with it's lack of food, water and medical care and unbearably hot tempertures. Many Iraqis have died because of these inhumane living conditions.
According to Ramsey Clark there were 110,000 aerial sorties, the equivalent of seven Hiroshima bombs. Over 120,000 soldiers were killed plus over 1,000,000 children most of whom died of malnutrition and epidemics caused by our systematic targeting of Iraqi irrigation canals and food-proceesing plants and of our continuing embargo, a genocidal violation of the Geneva Convention, which prohibits the starvation of civilians. Killing civilians though claimed as something America explicitely avoids doing is actually an American specialty, from the genocide of Native Americans (almost all innocent civilians) to the bombing of Hiroshima (totally civilians). Read the article below
http://www.psychohistory.com/htm/eln02_gulf.html
What I meant was Iraq is smaller population wise than Vietnam was during are war with them.
Also 1 million Jewish children were killed by the Nazis which is less than the over 1 million Iraqi children killed by the US.
That's genocide.
I HOPE THIS TRAITOR DIED SLOWLY!
5:42 Anon, Everything good that happens to this country, people like you wants to destroy. No wander we dont get anywhere...Abu Reesha was a hero and will remain one. ATleast he became a martyr, unlike your type, who most definitely will burn in hell!!!
Jason, I dunno if I agree with you. I myself, blame the US for many things, but at the same time, I blame myself and the other Iraqis who voted for these good for nothing people. And mostly I blame the idiot Bremmer for causing all this sectarian mayhem when they formed the transitional govt. This war was and will always be wrong. The US was too ignorant to plan for the aftermath. They took Iraqi expat's opinions, who lived most of their lives outside the country...Am I glad Saddam was removed? Yes, but I certainly am not glad for the genocide of my country...And Anon, where did u get your 35,000 deaths??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have been killed whether by Americans or other factions, THEY ARE DEAD...
Julie, no. I dont think Saddam ever had ties with Al Qaeda. Infact they were enemies.
Hi Nina, my email is neurotic_wife@yahoo.com
Bamboo, yes exactly. And that is why, maybe, maybe Ali Hatem will replace him. I cant wait for the removal of this govt. I dont even know what the hell theyre doing here. Not a single Iraqi respects them, except ofcourse those that gain from them...Ughhhh...If only they can leave us the hell alone..I just cant wait for the day
Hi May...Am glad you liked my post
Jason- Your ignorance brings out the name caller in me, but I'll control it today. You're gonna qoute Ramsey Clark? Out in the open???!!! How brave. Do you really live your life taking Ramsey Clark at his word? First of all he's a defense attorney. Unfortunatly he specializes in defending dictators and war criminals (Saddam, Karadzic, Milosevic, Elizaphan Nitakirutima)as well as other diviants. I find it ironic that this list includes men who engaged in REAL genocide, yet I don't see you condemning Ramsey Clark for defending them. No, instead you use him for your arguments. The giant zit on your nose that you don't see is that if America had intent to commit genocide the war in Iraq would have been over 3 years ago. The whole reason the war in Iraq is taking so long is because we are trying NOT to kill civillians. Unfortunatley the enemy is a pansy and dresses itself up as a civillian in order to disquise itself. Real honorable. (I don't see you condemning them either)
Does qouting Clark mean you're a communist too, like him? Because that would also explain you're stupid position. Yes, Ramsey Clark is a commie. Member of the World Workers Party, founder International Action Center as well as A.N.S.W.E.R. Clark doesn't protest/argue out of passionate belief but instead out of defiance to America. Whatever the US does he's against it no matter what. He's against US. We're his enemy. That's also your position, isn't it Jason. Idiot. (I couldn't take it anymore)
Neurotica: We can agree to disagree. But I'm not looking at Iraqs role right at this moment, only the role the US had to play in the killings. Both sides "agreed" to provoke each other for many years because they were itching for a fight. So in most wars both sides are equally responsible. I'm focusing on the US because I'm an American and because I know more about their role in it.
Julie. It doesn't matter if Ramsey Clark defends dictators or is a commie, I don't care. I don't support it but everybody has good and bad traits. It doesn't mean one shouldn't take what he says seriously.He has his own personal reasons for doing so. Maybe he's doing it out of guilt over the Vietnam war. Besides the Lancet has also come up with high death figures.
Just because the US shows more restraint than the Nazis doesn't take away the fact that they're responsible for millions of deaths. If they didn't do it Who did? Who killed all those Iraqis?
So everytime I say something critical of the US I also have to give face time to "deviants" like Saddam? Do I always have to throw in somebody worse to show I'm on the side of the US? I wasn't talking about other nations genocidal acts I was talking about Americas. That's what my question was about.
Jason- It does matter when you use a kook for a source. It just does. And you're right everybody has good and bad traits, Clark's are bad/stupid/treasonous and maybe evil.
"the US shows more restraint than the Nazis".. is that what its called? Restraint? Boy, it's tough, but we're restraining ourselves from bombing everybody in sight and taking everything Iraq has to offer. Because that's what we really want. I feel sorry for you that you live your life thinking this stuff. Who killed "all those Iraqis?" Yeah, it had to be the US. Had to be. Couldn't have been al Qaeda or Iranians or Baathist or Sunnis on Shia or Shia on Sunni or Islamic freaks that need to blow everyone up or other Saddam loyalist that want their power back. No it couldn't be any of them. Just the US. I wonder if the chemically affected Kurds oould give us a clue about who kills who. I bet all those mass graves we found were faked. Yeah that's the ticket, we made it up. We killed a bunch of people in Bosnia and brought the bones to Iraq to trick everybody. Yeah that's it.
Saying critical things of the US is one thing. But skewing the facts and using traitors as sources illegitimizes every thing you say.
Abu Resha was a little spineless bitch of the US, now tell me, where did his bribe money help him?
I hope this girlie-man suffered for hours while dying the death it deserved.
This grabbastic piece of shit was one out of thousands of replaceable US puppets who do anything for money, even betray their own nation.
Come out of your small green zone horizon, 99% of the Iraqis were glad that this dog died the death it deserved all over Iraq.
Anon - Hey girlie man put your name on it.
anon IS my name.
Girlie man.
Julie. Yep restrtaint is what keeps Americans from killing like the Nazis. You see, the Nazis were less 'civilized' so they had less control over their angry violent impulses and more irrational fears. Nazis thought Jews were poisonous lice who were about to devour them. So they had to be tortured and completely eliminated to save the German race. American don't have irrationals feelings that reach that level. But enough fear and rage exist to kill 2 million Iraqis.
Jason- The fact is you're wrong. Americans have not killed 2 million Iraqis and to believe so is idiotic. It's a shame that you will lie to yourself so you can hate your own country. Illogical? Crazy? No, sad.
JUst put all COBBLERS TRIPE TO THE SIDE & PACK IT IN ARGUING THIS GIRLIE THAT BOLLOCKS JUST THINK ABOUT SORTING OUT & BEING RID OF THE REAL THREAT AXIS OF EVILIRANIENS
