The Werewolves specialised in ambushes and sniping, and took the lives of many Allied and Soviet soldiers and officers -- perhaps even that of the first Soviet commandant of Berlin, General N.E. Berzarin, who was rumoured to have been waylaid in Charlottenburg during an incident in June 1945. Buildings housing Allied and Soviet staffs were favourite targets for Werewolf bombings; an explosion in the Bremen police headquarters, also in June 1945, killed five Americans and thirty-nine Germans. Techniques for harassing the occupiers were given widespread publicity through Werewolf leaflets and radio propaganda, and long after May 1945 the sabotage methods promoted by the Werewolves were still being used against the occupying powers.
Although the Werewolves originally limited themselves to guerrilla warfare with the invading armies, they soon began to undertake scorched-earth measures and vigilante actions against German `collaborators' or `defeatists'. They damaged Germany's economic infrastructure, already battered by Allied bombing and ground fighting, and tried to prevent anything of value from falling into enemy hands. Attempts to blow up factories, power plants or waterworks occasionally provoked melees between Werewolves and desperate German workers trying to save the physical basis of their employment, particularly in the Ruhr and Upper Silesia.

Fezcarlo: some facts about Allawi:
quote:
Why do Iraqis have such a poor opinion of Allawi? Sadoun al-Dulame, executive director of the ICRSS, pointed to one reason: "Every newspaper that has reported about his appointment has mentioned his CIA connection." Although Allawi has sniped at the U.S.-led Coalition in recent months, it's his ties to Langley that seem to have registered with Iraqis. (His organization, the Iraqi National Accord, is funded by the CIA.) "He's a CIA man, like [Ahmed] Chalabi," said Raed Abu Hassan, a Baghdad University political science post-grad. "In this country, CIA connections are political poison." It doesn't help that the Shiite Allawi is also a former Baathist, and a returning exile. Many Iraqis are scornful of politicians who left the country during the Saddam era. |

 to the article and the sad attempt at making a link.
for one, here is the US Army's history of its occupation of Germany: http://www.globalsecurity.org/milit...ex.htm#contents
You can read there about what authorities saw as the threat.
The of course there is the problem of scales- you see, we have 140,000 men in Iraq, in some cases losing temporary control of towns, having to secure long streches of highway.
IN Germany, which was in vastly worse conditions, and in which the occupation forces were in the millions of men total at the start and probalby about half a million in the whole country throughout, if the biggest attack you guys can mention is one that killed 47 people in the multiple years of occupation, well, woop-tee do!
That is the sad fact folks-the occupation of Germany was a project in a scale that makes this one look piddling, yet that occupation went of with much greater peace and far less violence than this one.
Which makes this line of arguement even more pathetic, cause it only shows how stupid an incompetent this admin. is if they could do so much worse than we did dealing with far greater difficulties in Germany.

It was quite funny how this news got leaked.
The Iraqi Foreign Minister and Tony Blair were giving a press conference. The IFM casually let out the info that the hand over was taking place in 2 hours.
Blair's blathering reaction, not quite saying no but refusing to confirm - has to be seen to be believed.
This hand over isn't going to change the situation in Iraq soon - but it is one important step on the road to getting our collective butts out of there.

Because the right, ie those who are in charge, can't see anything wrong with them being in charge.
It's a love/hate thing. Smug bastards who can't smell the coffee don't have many friends.

Oh, I forgot, you read this book by this guy Hitler, and since it's in a BOOK (oh, my, a BOOK!) it must be true!

And if it is in Time Magazine, it must be true also? Gotcha.. you just dug a hole in the ground too deep. And I'm not throwing a ladder.
