Scott Monahan, a tactical human intelligence team leader, collects an entourage of children while on a civil affairs mission in the Rabi area of Adhamiyah, Baghdad, on February 26, 2007. February 10, 2007 – March 5, 2007 Enforcing the Law: The Baghdad Security Plan Begins by KIMBERLY KAGAN This report, the second in a series, describes the purpose, course, and results of Coalition operations in Baghdad during the fi rst three weeks of Operation Enforcing the Law (also known as the Baghdad Security Plan), from General Petraeus’ assumption of command on February 10, 2007, through March 5. It describes the fl ow of American and Iraqi forces into Baghdad; American and Iraqi command relationships; the efforts of those forces to prepare positions and develop intelligence in critical neighborhoods; the limited clearing operations that the forces already in Baghdad have conducted; and operations against the so-called Mahdi army, or Jaysh al Mahdi, in Baghdad. It describes and evaluates the apparent responses of the Jaysh al Mahdi and al Qaeda to these preparations and early operations, and highlights some of the differences between this operation and last year’s offensives in Baghdad, Operations Together Forward I and II.

Cordesman Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy [email protected] With the Assistance of Emma Davies Updated: December 14, 2006 Cordesman: Iraq’s Sectarian and Ethnic Violence 12/14/06 Page 2 Executive Summary The insurgency in Iraq has become a “war after the war” that threatens to divide the country and create a full-scale civil conflict. It has triggered sectarian and ethnic violence that dominates the struggle to reshape Iraq as a modern state, has emerged as a growing threat to the Gulf region, and has become linked to the broader struggle between Sunni and Shi’ite Islamist extremism, and moderation and reform, throughout the Islamic world. Since its inception in the spring of 2003, the nature of the fighting in Iraq has evolved from a struggle largely limited to a confrontation between Coalition forces and former regime loyalists to a much more diffuse conflict, involving a number of Sunni groups, Shi’ite militias, and foreign jihadists, which now involves widespread civil conflict. While Coalition forces engaged in initiatives to stem violence, train Iraqi forces, and build public faith in political institutions, ethnic and sectarian tensions simultaneously pushed the country deeper into civil war. The February 22 bombing of the Golden Mosque was the initial catalyst of Sunni-Shi’ite clashes.

  • The Biopolitics of Baghdad: Counterinsurgency and the Counter-City Derek Gregory
    The Biopolitics of Baghdad: Counterinsurgency and the counter-city Derek Gregory Department of Geography University of British Columbia at Vancouver The cultural turn and late modern war Many of the problems that the United States has faced since its invasion of Iraq in 2003 can be traced back to a reluctance by the Bush administration to use two words, and a failure to plan and prepare for either of them: occupation and insurgency. The two are of course connected; people don’t like living under military occupation. While American troops did not find the streets of Baghdad strewn with the promised rose petals, they did find them full of people. Yet prevailing models of urban warfare had visualized enemy cities as targets and as object-spaces – three-dimensional geometries of buildings, streets and utility networks – emptied of their populations. The reality of military occupation evidently required different ways of comprehending the city. 1 So too did the rapid spread of resistance to the occupation, but the Pentagon had become so entranced by its Revolution in Military Affairs and force transformation, so invested in high technology and network-centric warfare against the conventional forces of nation-states, that it was radically unprepared for the reinvention of asymmetric warfare in so-called ‘new wars’ waged by transnational, non-state and non-hierarchical adversaries in the margins and breaches of former empires. 2 The US military had not revised its doctrine on counterinsurgency for twenty years, and in an attempt to shore up a rapidly deteriorating !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 The intricate wiring of the military-industry-media-entertainment complex (MIME) ensured that this had its media counterpart.

  • From Dictatorship to Democracy: Iraq Under Erasure Abeer Shaheen
    From Dictatorship to Democracy: Iraq under Erasure Abeer Shaheen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 ©2015 Abeer Shaheen All rights reserved ABSTRACT From Dictatorship to Democracy: Iraq under Erasure Abeer Shaheen This dissertation examines the American project in Iraq between 1991 and 2006. It studies the project’s conceptual arc, shifting ontology, discourses, institutions, practices, and technologies in their interrelatedness to constitute a new Iraq. It is an ethnography of a thixotropic regime of law and order in translation; a circuit through various landscapes and temporalities to narrate the 1991 war, the institutionalization of sanctions and inspection regimes, material transformations within the American military, the 2003 war and finally the nation- building processes as a continuous and unitary project. The dissertation makes three central arguments: First, the 2003 war on Iraq was imagined through intricate and fluid spaces and temporalities. Transforming Iraq into a democratic regime has served as a catalyst for transforming the American military organization and the international legal system. Second, this project has reordered the spatialized time of Iraq by the imposition of models in translation, reconfigured and reimagined through a realm of violence. These models have created in Iraq a regime of differential mobility, which was enabled through an ensemble of experts, new institutions and calculative technologies. Third, this ensemble took Iraq as its object of knowledge and change rendering Iraq and Iraqis into a set of abstractions within the three spaces under examination: the space of American military institutions; the space of international legality within the United Nations; and, lastly, the material space of Baghdad.

  • GREGORY Baghdad Burning- Neo-Liberalism and the Counter-City
    Baghdad Burning: neo-liberalism and the counter-city Derek Gregory Department of Geography University of British Columbia 217-1984 West Mall Vancouver British Columbia, Canada V6T 1Z2 E-mail: [email protected] Paper prepared for ‘What is new about “Neo-Liberal” Urbanism? Middle Eastern cities in comparative perspective’, Workshop 13, 12th Mediterranean Research Meeting, Florence, 6-9 April 2011 ! Baghdad Burning: neo-liberalism and the counter-city Derek Gregory Department of Geography University of British Columbia, Vancouver ‘Most people choose to ignore the little prefix “re–” in the words “rebuild” and “reconstruct”. For your information, “re” is of Latin origin and means “again” or “anew”. In other words – there was something there in the first place…. I always say this war is about oil but it is also about huge corporations that are going to make billions off reconstructing what was damaged during this war.’ Riverbend, ‘Baghdad Burning’, 28 August 2003 ‘All this chaos has somehow become uncomfortably normal. Two years ago I never would have dreamed of living like this – now this lifestyle has become the norm and I can barely remember having lived any other way.’ Riverbend, ‘Baghdad Burning’, 10 November 2004 Neo-liberalism and late modern war The systematic connections between neo-liberalism and late modern war have become something of a critical orthodoxy. For David Harvey, ‘the new imperialism’ (or ‘vulture capitalism’ as he also calls it) advances the catastrophically violent process of ‘accumulation by dispossession’: ‘All the neoconservatives have done’, he wrote in the immediate aftermath of the invasion of Iraq, ‘is to transform the low-intensity warfare waged under neo-liberalism around the globe into a dramatic confrontation.’ 1 Similarly, Naomi Klein treats war as one of the modalities through which the ‘disaster capitalism’ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 David Harvey, The new imperialism (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2003) p.
