Operation ''Imposing Law'',〔(Reuters AlertNet - Iraqi forces must "keep fingers on trigger"-PM )〕〔(News: Iraq, Iraq hopes to end Baghdad security plan soon )〕 also known as Operation ''Law and Order'' ( عملية القانون والنظام "'amaliat al-qaanoon wa an-nazaam), Operation ''Fardh al-Qanoon'' (فرض القانون or Baghdad Security Plan (BSP), was a joint Coalition-Iraqi security plan conducted throughout Baghdad. Under the Surge plan developed in late 2006, Baghdad was to be divided into nine zones, with Iraqi and American soldiers working side-by-side to clear each sector of Shiite militias and Sunni insurgents and establish Joint Security Stations so that reconstruction programs could begin in safety. The U.S. military commander in Iraq, David Petraeus, went so far as to say Iraq would be "doomed" if this plan failed.〔(Petraeus: Iraq 'doomed' if mission fails - World news - Mideast/N. Africa - Conflict in Iraq - msnbc.com )〕 Numerous members of Congress stated the plan was a critical period for the U.S. presence in Iraq. ==Background== On 10 February 2007, General David Petraeus replaced General Casey as the commander of Multi National Force-Iraq and Admiral William Fallon replaced General Abizaid as CENTCOM Commander on 16 March 2007. The operation is being led by Iraqi General Abboud Qanbar, a veteran of the Iran-Iraq and Gulf wars. General Qanbar was a compromise choice because General Mohan al-Furayji, the first choice of the Iraqi Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki, to head the operation, was rejected by the U.S. Army.〔Qassim Abdul-Zahra and Bassem Mroue - (Kurdish unit trains for duty in capital city ) - AP via San Diego Union Tribune〕 On the first day of the operation new checkpoints were erected and increased vehicle inspections and foot patrols were reported in some neighborhoods. The operation was billed as a major neighborhood-to-neighborhood sweep to quell sectarian violence in the city of 6 million. This joint Iraqi and U.S. operation was originally referred to as Operation Imposing Law by Iraqi prime minister Nouri Maliki and U.S. generals. However, this name for the operation appears to have fallen from official favor, probably because its acronym, O.I.L., could be politically awkward for the United States, which has been accused of being involved in Iraq primarily to ensure a secure source of petroleum.〔(Washington Times - Al-Maliki promises a safe Iraq )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Operation Imposing Law」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
