SrikandiTV - Kemajuan penuh kegilaan militan ISIS di Iraq tlh mendorong beberapa senator Amerika Syarikat untuk memanggil untuk kempen pengeboman baru terhadap jihad dan untuk kerajaan Iraq Perdana Menteri Nouri al-Maliki meletak jawatan.
Senator Amerika Dianne Feinstein dan John McCain menyeru untuk Amerika Syarikat untuk campur tangan sekali lagi, kali ini untuk mengebom kumpulan pengganas ISIS yang telah menawan 'captured' satu siri bandar-bandar Iraq berturut-turut pesat dan membunuh semua orang 'kill everyone' yg mereka anggap sebagai risiko keselamatan.
Menurut laporan baru oleh Pusat Kemajuan Amerika (CAP), Amerika Syarikat perlu "bersedia untuk operasi counterterrorism terhad terhadap ISIS, termasuk serangan udara mungkin."
"Saya rasa yang paling penting ialah kita mengambil tindakan langsung kini terhadap ISIS, berarak ke Baghdad, dan menghalang mereka dari masuk ke Baghdad," kata Feinstein (D-CAL), pengerusi Jawatankuasa Perisikan Senat.
Arizona Senator John McCain juga menyokong idea serangan udara. Selepas Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Barack Obama mengumumkan penghantaran kerahan 'deployment' 275 anggota tentera ke Iraq untuk menyediakan keselamatan untuk Kedutaan Amerika Syarikat di Baghdad terhadap pemberontak Sunni, McCain berkata kebimbangan beliau adalah "sama ada kita akan berbuat apa-apa selain menghantar beberapa marin tam-bahan, yang memenangi membuat apa-apa, "katanya.
Kedua-dua Feinstein dan McCain juga mempertahankan keperluan perubahan rejim di Baghdad, menuduh kerajaan pemangku PM Nouri al-Maliki daripada ketidakupayaan untuk membendung pemberontakan Islam di negara ini.
US SENATORs: Let’s bomb IRAQ (again . . .)!!!
The frenzied advance of ISIS militants in Iraq has prompted some US senators to call for a new bombing campaign against the jihadists and for the Iraqi government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to step down.
American senators Dianne Feinstein and John McCain are calling for the US to step in again, this time to bomb the groups of ISIS terrorists who have captured a series of Iraqi cities in rapid succession and to kill everyone they regard as a security risk.
According to a new report by the Center for American Progress (CAP), the US should “prepare for limited counterterrorism operations against ISIS, including possible air strikes.”
“I think most important is that we take direct action now against ISIS, marching down to Baghdad, and prevent them from getting into Baghdad,” said Feinstein (D-CAL), the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Arizona Senator John McCain also supports the idea of air strikes. After US President Barack Obama announced the deployment of 275 troops to Iraq to provide security for the US Embassy in Baghdad against Sunni insurgents, McCain said that his concern is “whether we’re going to do anything besides send a few extra marines, which won’t do anything," he said.
Both Feinstein and McCain also defend the necessity of regime change in Baghdad, accusing the acting government of PM Nouri al-Maliki of an inability to curb the Islamist insurgency in the country.

Parlimen Iraq meluluskan al-Maliki untuk masa jawatan kedua sebagai bermastautin Perdana Menteri pada Disember 2010. Sekarang Feinstein mahukan beliau meletak jawatan, diganti dengan "perdamaian" kerajaan.
"Saya fikir ia adalah yang paling penting bahawa kerajaan Maliki diganti, dan yang termasuk Encik Maliki, dgn kerajaan perdamaian," kata Feinstein, sambil menambah: "Berdasarkan kepada semua yang saya dengar, baca dan tahu, Encik Maliki tidak dapat untuk membawa perdamaian di negara itu. "
Pentadbiran Obama perlu menghantar wakil-wakil ke Baghdad untuk "bekerja dengan Maliki dan beritahu dia dia mendapat ke langkah ke bawah dan mempunyai kerajaan campuran," kata McCain, bersetuju dengan idea al-Maliki meletak jawatan.
Pusat pagar untuk Kemajuan Amerika, sebuah organisasi dengan hubungan rapat dengan Rumah Putih, telah menggesa pentadbiran Obama untuk melindungi Iraq dari kehancuran dan melancarkan kempen ketenteraan terhadap ISIS dan kumpulan pelampau lain.
Garis keras diambil oleh ahli parlimen Amerika agresif muncul bertepatan dengan talian sama-sama keras yang sedang diusahakan oleh kerajaan Arab Saudi. Monarki mutlak Sunni di Riyadh sentiasa menjadi lawan terbesar semua rejim Syiah Islam di Timur Tengah, dari Syria Bashar Assad, atau Iraq al-Maliki.
Itulah sebabnya Riyadh kekal sebagai penaja utama bukan sahaja kumpulan jihad ISIS, tetapi ramai kumpulan jihad radikal lain dalam kedua-dua yang dilanda perang Iraq dan Syria.
Namun tidak semua ahli parlimen Amerika untuk menerapkan idea dari yang ke-3 kempen ketenteraan Amerika Syarikat di Iraq.
Maine Republikan Senator Susan Collins mempersoalkan bahawa "serangan udara akan bekerja," menyatakan idea umum bahawa jika NATO adalah di Iraq, ISIS tidak akan menjadi masalah di sana.
Bekas Ahli Kongres Ron Paul mengutuk ‘condemned’ dasar luar White House semasa, letupan Presiden Barack Obama lebih campur tangan Amerika Syarikat mungkin di Iraq.
"Mereka tdk boleh mengakui mereka salah tentang serangan orang menjadi 'cakewalk' yang akan membayar untuk dirinya sendiri, jadi mereka mahu menyalahkan peristiwa minggu lepas pada 2011 pengeluaran Amerika Syarikat dari Iraq. Tetapi masalah ini bermula dengan serangan 2003 itu sendiri, bukan 2011 pengeluaran tentera. Sesiapa yang memahami sebab dan akibat daripada memahaminya, "Paul menulis.
Minggu lepas, Menteri Luar Rusia Sergey Lavrov berkata ‘said’ Iraq semakin meningkat di luar kawalan adalah hasil daripada pencerobohan yang dilakukan oleh Amerika Syarikat dan United Kingdom pada tahun 2003.
Lavrov berkata bahawa 11 tahun lalu, selepas Presiden Amerika Syarikat George Bush mengumumkan kemenangan demokrasi di Iraq, "keadaan telah merosot dlm perkem-bangan geometri."
"Perpaduan Iraq telah dipersoalkan," kata Lavrov. "The keganasan berleluasa sedang berlaku kerana bahawa pasukan pendudukan tdk membayar apa-apa perhatian kepada proses politik dalaman, tdk membantu dialog nasional, & hanya mengejar kepentingan mereka sendiri."
Iraq’s parliament approved al-Maliki for a second term as prime minister resident in December 2010. Now Feinstein wants him to step down, to be replaced with a “reconciliation” government.
“I think it’s most important that the Maliki government be replaced, and that includes Mr. Maliki, with a reconciliation government,” Feinstein said, adding: “Based on all I’ve heard, read and know, Mr. Maliki is not able to bring about reconciliation in that country.”
The Obama administration should send representatives to Baghdad to “work with Maliki and tell him he’s got to step down and have a coalition government,” McCain said, agreeing with the idea of al-Maliki stepping down.
The centrist Center for American Progress, an organization with close ties to the White House, has urged the Obama administration to protect Iraq from disintegration and to mount a military campaign against ISIS and other extremist groups.
The hard line taken by hawkish American lawmakers appears to coincide with an equally hard line being pursued by the Saudi Arabian government. The Sunni absolute monarchy in Riyadh has always been the biggest opponent of all Shia Muslim regimes in the Middle East, from Bashar Assad’s Syria or al-Maliki’s Iraq.
That’s why Riyadh remains the main sponsor of not only the ISIS jihadist group, but many other radical jihadist groups in both war-torn Iraq and Syria.
Yet not all American lawmakers are ready to embrace the idea of a third US military campaign in Iraq.
Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins questioned that “air strikes would work,” expressing the general idea that if NATO was in Iraq, ISIS would not be a problem there.
Former Congressman Ron Paul condemned the current White House’s foreign policy, blasting President Barack Obama over a possible US intervention in Iraq.
“They cannot admit they were wrong about the invasion being a ‘cakewalk’ that would pay for itself, so they want to blame last week’s events on the 2011 US withdrawal from Iraq. But the trouble started with the 2003 invasion itself, not the 2011 troop withdrawal. Anyone who understands cause and effect should understand this,” Paul wrote.
Last week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Iraq spiraling out of control is the result of the invasion carried out by the US and the UK in 2003.
Lavrov noted that 11 years ago, after US President George Bush announced the victory of democracy in Iraq, “the situation has deteriorated in geometrical progression.”
“The unity of Iraq has been called into question,” Lavrov said. “The rampant terrorism is taking place due to the fact that the occupation troops didn’t pay any attention to the interior political processes, didn’t help the national dialogue, and only pursued their own interests.”
