What prompted ISIS and the Baath party to participate in committing a massacre, crime, and annihilating the soldiers of the Speicher Air Force Base?
It is not possible to answer this question in a short phrase, and we say “the interests brought them together”, and it is not enough to link the roots of some Baath leaders to their religious fundamentalisms. Several factors were formed in the decision to carry out the crime of genocide against the soldiers of the Camp Speicher base, between ISIS and the Baath Party, as a strategic partnership decision for both parties, with the fact that their enemy, who is committed to the intention of that crime, represents the majority of them from the infidel “Shiite” sect, the enemy, and the danger that prevents Implementing their political agendas - whether with ISIS, which establishes its own state, or the Baath Party, which dreams of returning, and seeks to obstruct the existence of every government after its own.
The dimensions of the genocide were intertwined and its decision, after a long reflection of the Baath Party, its regime family, its remnants, and its formations, settled on a fatal and painful blow to the Shiite rulers and their people, in revenge for the buried head of the regime who was executed by an Iraqi judicial decision, on the one hand, and on the other hand, an attempt to cause a sectarian war On the other hand, an attempt to stir up popular discontent with the Shiite rulers after they committed mistakes in managing the government and controlling the inflamed environment of sectarianism, terrorism, and extremism in Mosul, Salah al-Din, Anbar, and Diyala. In addition to efforts to make chaos to invest in settling scores, managing looting, monopolizing wealth, and mortgaging the state’s economy in the hands of their extremist groups, as happened in Iraq and Syria when ISIS occupied it. As well as exploiting the state of popular and clan discontent, and hostile political charging against what they call "Shia rule", just as this is not devoid of external agendas, some of which were linked to the idea of the caliphate, some to the ruin of Iraq, others to creating chaos, and another dimension to overthrow the regime The entire political system made Iraq a state of "no state", but the foreign agendas intersected with the expansionist map of ISIS, which included even the American interests that supported them with money, weapons, plans, and support, albeit at the level of support, and watching the actions of ISIS; Because America tends with its strategy to ally with the strong against its opponents in the region, with whom it tries to tighten the screws on whoever it wants. Part of that support had nothing to do with the Baath Party, but ISIS harnessed the Baath, the ideas of its leaders, and their military expertise, in achieving part of its goals and turning against it. Someone might say: ISIS is fighting in Syria against the Baath regime and allying with it in Iraq! Yes, this was and became; Because the decision to achieve a strategic strike was integrated by choosing the soldiers of Speicher and its base and planning it between (ISIS, the Baath, and the clans allied with them), which ended with the realization of that plan of "extermination" in which our sons were killed as evil killers by an act of treachery, cowardice, negligence, betrayal of responsibility, conscience, and patriotism, parents!
When we say that the realistic dimensions of this "extermination" were intertwined, we mean that there was a "voluntary killing" that occurred to these soldiers, "Speicher Soldiers", as an act of closeness to God! And panic with the cousins on them! And a wild lust for killing against them! And planning to annihilate them and the available opportunities to kill them! And even the children and the women are despicable to stone them, kill them, terrorize them, and make those of them absent until today! The acts of savagery that were committed against them were before the full management of savagery at ISIS! , This means that the will of savagery and its impulses are endemic to the popular imagination religiously, politically, and socially. He pushed to fuel these impulses by the leaders of the Baath Party, with declared motives of revenge, with the help of the incubators who were merciful to the Baath Party and cheered by the advent of ISIS. This was a "Speicher" as an act of genocide that was larger and uglier, along with other abominations and crimes committed with the same motives that would achieve the description of "genocide".
