Pire décision que l'invasion de l'Irak, ça existe sur ce XXIème siècle?
Iraq was a socially conservative society and placed great importance on not only National but also personal and family dignity/ Iraq's social norms of honor and privacy especially for women and girls was thoroughly violated by strange foreign men busting down doors and violently arresting the head of the household. An independent report sanctioned by the defense department would conclude that : " " they reverted to rounding up any and all suspicious looking persons all too often including women and children " As many as 120 000 Iraqis would be detained. John Bruhns of third Brigade, First Armored Division, First battalion. took part in 1 000 Iraqi home raids. He summarized a typical Iraki home raid as followed :" You grab the man of the house you rip him out of bed in front of his wife you put him up against the wall then you go into a room and you tear the room to shreds. So you've just humiliated this man in front of his entire family and terrorized his entire family. And then you go right next door and you do the same thing in a hundred homes. Now next week 10 roadside bombs go off and nobody can understand why. According to Colonel Thomas Hammes, the Marine expert on counter Insurgency who worked for the American occupation : " Many of the arrests were done with a boot on the head in front of his woman. You've created a blood debt when you do that. The firing of half a million of Irakis state workers was the most davastating move for the American occupation. On May 16th and May 23rd the occupation's leader Paul Bremer III would issue CPA orders number one and two respectively. CPA stands for the Coalition provisional Authority the name given to the American occupation. These orders were known collectively as de-bathification and went a long way toward fueling the growing resistance. Order number one fired anyone who worked in the top three management layers of all government of all government Ministries, state-owned Industries, universities even hospitals.
These employees were deemed automatically to be senior bath party members and they would be banned from future employment in the Iraqi government. Charles Seidel, CIA Chief of Station in Irak back then, worried that : " By Nightfall you'll have driven 30 000 to 50 000 baathists underground and in six months you'll really regret doing this. " In fact, the number would be as high as 85 000 people just fired outright order.
Order number 2 fired the entire Iraqi armed forces and the interior Ministry which included the National Police. Together these two orders would put out of work over 500 000 people . Marine Colonel Thomas Hammes summarized the move like this : " Now you have a couple hundred thousand people who are armed because they took their weapons home with them, who know how to use the weapons, who have no future and who have a reason to be angry at you. " Colonel R. Alan KingFormer Commander Civil Affairs Battalion in Irak. said : " When Bremer did that the Insurgency went crazy. May was the turning point according. " According to an official US study, of the war, just over a day into the Invasion on March 22nd " " expecting a positive reception " Sergeant First Class Anthony Broadhead led a hunter killer team of three Bradleys and two M1 tanks toward the bridge where some Iraqis had assembled as his tank approached the bridge. Broadhead waved at the Iraqis but rather than waving back the Iraqis responded with AK-47 fire. The fight quickly escalated as paramilitary forces engage from pickup trucks armed with small arms machine guns rocket-propelled grenades and mortars. The study maintains that this was a significant event since : " For the first time but not the last time well-armed paramilitary forces indistinguishable except for their weapons from civilians attacked the Squadron. " A week later saw the first suicide bombing against Coalition forces since the War Began. A taxi cab laden with explosives would kill four U. S soldiers of the third infantry division in the city of Nadjaf. Bombing and explosions became rampant by mid summer. The Irakis sought to target not only American but their allies and partners.
On 7th August, a bomb-filled van parked outside the embassy of Jordan. The blast through a nearby car onto a roof. 17 people died. Among the most momentous and successful attacks Fighters targeted the canal hotel which housed the offices of the United Nations. Driving a cement truck filled with explosive artillery shells, a suicide bomber crashed into the outer wall of the hotel sending a shock wave so powerful that it blasted the windows of the second armored Cavalry Regiment a half mile away. The attack killed 23 people including the chief U. N officer in Iraq. The effects of the bombing were dramatic. The UN mission in Iraq drew its staff down from 800 International staffers to just 15. Colonel Thomas Hammes describes the fallout in a report for the National Defense University. : The august 19 2003 bombing of the UN headquarters in Iraq convinced the organization that continuing to operate in Iraq would be too costly. " In the following weeks numerous other International organizations including the IMF and the World Bank would pull out of Iraq which was seen as a massive victory for the resistance. That was a brilliant campaign according to Thomas Hammes. They hit the U. N the Red Cross the Jordanian Embassy and the Iraqi police.
Thomas E. Ricks " Fisco : The American Military Adventure in Irak " said : " This was the first time since the invasion that the foe turned fully on US forces. " On the 26th October, a mortar attack on a Baghdad police station killed private first class Rachel boseveld. THen rockets were fired at the Rasheed hostel which housed CPA offices. The next day, 4 police stations were bombed simultaneously using truck bombs painted to look like police vehicles and filled with over one thousand pounds of plastic explosive. These attacks marked the beginning of what would become the Ramadan offensive. It would be the highest american fatalities since the beginning of the invasion. During the summer of 2003 there were roughly 15 attacks on U. S soldiers a day. By mid-november, that number jumped to 45 a day and it was also at this time that Iraqis became Adept at attacking aircraft. In October and November they managed to shoot down 3 helicopters. Helicopters had to frequently fly back to to guerillas. On November 15th, 2 Blackhawks collided into one another while trying to evade rifle fire killing 17 Soldiers. The Army even had to conclude that the Apache helicopter was so vulnerable to Rocket and machine gunfire that it would no longer have a major role in attacks. The Iraqis were learning and adapting quickly using what they had at their disposal but they would kill many many American soldiers through a simple device that littered many roads frequented by American.
IEG, standing for improvised explosive devices is one of the key Hallmarks of the war in Iraq. Its Simplicity is both a symbol of the disproportionate Firepower that the Americans wielded as well as the cleverness of the Iraqi resistance to use all manner of essentially scraps of electronics and weapons to Fashion devices that proved to be especially lethal to occupation forces. So lethal in fact than in the first year of the Iraqi Guerrilla war against the Americans one-third of dead US troops were killed by these low-tech and inexpensive roadside bombs. They weren't just good at Killing American soldiers but also wounding them. Two-thirds of soldiers wounded so badly that they needed to be evacuated from Iraq were hit by IEDs . Aside from the human cost the monetary cost was staggering. In 2006 the Pentagon set up an office to deal with the threat of IEDs called The Joint IED defeat organization. By 2011 the yearly budget was 2. 8 billion dollars and that's not counting the roughly 45 billion dollars spent on mine resistant vehicles all to fight a bomb that cost roughly 30 dollars to make. IEDs were very crude. All one had to do was put a Detonator on a bomb or artillery shell and you've essentially made one. In the summer of 2003 nearly all IEDs were hardwired meaning they were connected directly to the Detonator a fighter would have to hold the Detonator which was connected by a long wire to the explosive.
