"ليس في استطاعة إدارة ترمب حلّ الميليشيات، تماماً مثلما لا يستطيع الزيدي ذلك. وما ينبغي لصنّاع السياسة الأميركيين فعله هو الإقرار بأنهم دفعوا باتجاه نزع سلاح الميليشيات، في الوقت الذي أسهموا فيه في تهيئة الظروف التي تتيح لها تعزيز نفوذها." يكتب @NickDavis026.

The US can’t disarm Iraq’s militias. My analysis out in Chatham House today.
'The inability of the US to force the militias to disarm reflects a longstanding contradiction in its policy: President Trump, like his predecessors, has insisted that the militias be disarmed while reinforcing the conditions in which they thrive,' writes @NickDavis026 for Kalam.

"سيظل العداء للولايات المتحدة والسعي إلى مراكمة الثروة والنفوذ، على نحو يتجاوز قدرة الدولة على ضبطه، محرّكَين أساسيَّين لهذه الميليشيات، سواء بقي النظام الإيراني أم سقط." يكتب @NickDavis026.

Here is the Arabic translation of my article published by Chatham House. I examine Trump’s failure in Iraq and the country’s fragmented politics in the context of the Iran war.

"يعكس عجز الولايات المتحدة عن إجبار الميليشيات على نزع سلاحها تناقضاً مزمناً في سياستها، إذ يُصرّ الرئيس ترمب، شأنه شأن أسلافه، على نزع سلاح الميليشيات، فيما يواصل تعزيز الظروف التي تتيح لها ترسيخ نفوذها." يكتب @NickDavis026.

Worked with The Sunday Times on this story about Cambridge’s continued investment in the arms trade.
Was glad to see it featuring as the main article on page 2, last weekend.
Thanks to @domhauschild for all his work on this with me.

The food was better, and at least Iraqi, though it is clear that the caterer is not drawn naturally to Iraqi food. He still brings along lousy Western-style bread, which I had him remove.” —L. Paul Bremer

Has been brilliant to work with Harper's Magazine, to bring Paul Bremer's emails to a broad American readership. A psychological window into America's occupation of Iraq.
“August 8, 2003
I am sure that pretty soon I will have a limp-wristed Brit in my office concerned about the waves we are making in their area of operation. Tough luck, boys. New game in town.”
From L. Paul Bremer’s emails during the U.S.’s invasion of Iraq.

The “special relationship” myth may not win us exceptional influence, but is does breed the expectation of exceptional compliance...

Wrote the weekend essay for The New Statesman on the "special relationship" myth.

I was on Radio New Zealand today, to talk about the revelatory emails I uncovered about the US occupation of Iraq.
They formed the basis of an article I co-wrote, which featured on the front cover of The Sunday Times Magazine.

US forces killed Mazen Dana in front of me and other journalists. The sound of the shots is still vivid. After his body was removed, a colleague put Mazen’s blood-spattered camera in our car to take to Reuters. Mazen had a wife and 4 children. Can confirm it was “not a great” day
Here’s one example of the documents I found.
An email from Colin Powell to Paul Bremer.
August 15 2003. American occupation at its most startlingly candid.
Please read the front cover Sunday Times Magazine story I have co-written, to find out more:

This is great investigative work. And so worth reading. Bremer always looked a somewhat haunted man, but the fact that he complains so much about Iraq not showing any gratitude is remarkable.
