Why Would America Refuse This Free Favor from the Armed Groups in Iraq?!

It is not to America’s benefit, nor to Israel’s behind them, to attack the armed groups in Iraq. These armed factions, whether they realize it or not, whether they are conscious of it or not, whether they mean it or not, are providing a free service to America and Israel. Through their dangerous and pointless armed actions, they sow chaos, turmoil, fear, anxiety, tension and instability in Iraq’s politics, security, economy and society. This is precisely what America works to achieve on behalf of Israel, in order to stop this great country from rising and stabilizing politically, economically, security-wise and socially.

If that were to happen, Iraq would once again be a danger to Israel for reasons historical and contemporary likewise, reasons which persist in Iraqi memories and are passed down from generation to generation.

So why would America refuse to acknowledge evidence of attacks on its embassy and military bases in Iraq? Why would they plan to strike at these armed extralegal groups instead of taking advantage of them, when Israel is the greatest benefactor of their complimentary service?

لا مصلحة لأمريكا ومن خلفها إسرائيل، في ضرب الفصائل المسلحة في العراق. هذه الفصائل المسلحة، تدرك أو لا تدرك، تعي أو لا تعي، تقصد أو لا تقصد، تُقدم خدمة مجانية لأمريكا وإسرائيل عندما تقوم، بأفعالها المسلحة الخطيرة والعبثية، بإحداث الفوضى والاضطراب والخوف والقلق والتوتر وعدم الاستقرار في الوضع السياسي والأمني والاقتصادي والاجتماعي في العراق وهو ما تريده وتعمل عليه تماما أمريكا خدمة لإسرائيل لمنع هذا البلد العظيم من أن ينهض ويستقر سياسيا وأمنيا واقتصاديا واجتماعيا فيكون خطرا على إسرائيل مرة أخرى لأسباب تاريخية قديمة ومعاصرة لا تزال عالقة بذاكرة العراقيين يتناقلونها جيلا بعد جيل. فلماذا ترفض أمريكا بحجة ضرب سفارتها وقواعدها العسكرية في العراق، ومن خلفها إسرائيل المستفيد الأكبر من هذه الخدمة المجانية، وتخطط لضرب هذه الفصائل المسلحة الخارجة عن القانون بدلا من الاستفادة منها؟!
