Press TVThe United States is instigating war between the Shia and Sunni in Iraq to control its people and seize the country’s resources, a former American intelligence analyst says.
In an interview with Press TV on Saturday, Scott Rickard also said that Washington is using naïve, young people as cannon fodder to achieve its objectives.
“The US and its allies, the West in general, have been perpetrating war in the Middle East for well over a century. This is an initiative mostly to control the population and take over the resources,” Rickard said.
“And when you talk about the Sunni, Shia at war, they take that to their advantage and instigate wars between these factions. It gives them an enemy which they can arm and then that enemy becomes their proxy army to fight their [enemy]. ‘The enemy of my enemy’ is a very common military tactic. So that’s really what we are seeing in Iraq,” he added.
“They have no respect for any of the civilians, they have no respect for any of the individuals that they are using. In fact, unfortunately, these are very easy prey. These are a lot of young individuals who have lost their uncles and fathers, and [have been in] all types of tragic situations where there is a lot of revenge in their heart,” Rickard stated.
“So they are very willing participants especially when they see any kind of momentum. It’s like being involved in a sporting event when you get ahead in the game,” he noted.
“So when you put these young individuals who have had a very little joy in their lives in a situation, they’ll fight to the death because they believe they are avenging their uncles and grandfathers and so on and so forth,” said the former intelligence linguist from Florida.
Militants from the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) are spilling over from the Syrian border into Iraq and have seized key cities and towns across northern Iraq.
