Iraqi leader: U.S. report is 'dangerous'

[maddezmom]

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi President Jalal Talabani on Sunday harshly criticized the bipartisan report recommending changes to U.S. war policies, saying it contained some "very dangerous" recommendations that would undermine the sovereignty of Iraq.

Talabani, a Kurd, said the report "is not fair, is not just and it contains some very dangerous articles which undermine the sovereignty of Iraq and the constitution."

He singled out the report's call for the approval of a de-Baathification law that could allow thousands of officials from Saddam Hussein's ousted party to return to their jobs.

"There is an article to bring back the Baathists to the political scene, which is very dangerous," he said in an interview with reporters at his office in Baghdad.

1. So, his only gripe is that he doesn't want the Ba'athists in ANY position...

...of power? And that justifies keeping US troops in Iraq?:crazy:

2. Baathists are Iraqi nationalists. They're against Kurd independence

So yes, that's his gripe.
