"Sovereign" Iraqi government:CUT THEIR HANDS AND BEHEAD THEM!

[LittleApple81]

This paragraph comes for the article "Iraq's repairman" in the latest edition of Newsweek.


The defense minister, Hazim Shaalan, is a former banker who more recently worked as a real-estate agent in London. "After June 30," said Shaalan, "we will hit these people and teach them a good lesson they won't forget. Americans and allied forces have certain restrictions we won't have." He declined to be more specific, except to say, "It's our country, it's our culture, and we have different laws than you do." (A few days later, after yet another suicide bombing, he was more blunt: "We will cut off their hands and behead them.")

So the Abu Ghraibs will blossom, and the USA will say: that is what liberated Iraq wants to do, we cannot interfere. Perfect!

1. Thank you for posting this

Here come the new fascist dictators, same as the old fascist dictators.

For THIS shit almost 1000 Americans are dead and tens of thousands have been seriously maimed?

Disgusting and shameful.

5. You are welcome. Now you can see how their minds work? They

don't give a Cheney about lives, arm, legs, eyes, Iraqis in general. These people are criminals.

2. Consider the source (Chalabi), but note excerpts from WP article

in which he says that Iraq's new intelligence service, supervised by the CIA, may include some of the same crowd as Saddam's intelligence service. My LBN post:

Chalabi, Shunted to Sidelines, Shares His Playbook for Iraq
Party Leader Emphasizes Elections, Shaking Off U.S. Tutelage
By Edward Cody
Washington Post Foreign Service
Wednesday, June 30, 2004; Page A12

(Note: These comments by Chalabi,whose reputation is far from stellar, are deep within the page-12 article, but I thought they were of particular interest.)

....A good place to start (excercising power by the new government), Chalabi suggested, would be with the new Iraqi National Intelligence Service set up by the CIA to replace Hussein's much-feared services. The new intelligence apparatus, hundreds strong, was organized in secret without a known budget or statute, he said.

The director, Brig. Gen. Mohammed Abdullah Shahwani, was recruited by the CIA station in the Jordanian capital Amman after he fled Iraq in 1991, Chalabi said, and has been a favorite ever since. A member of Iraq's Turkmen minority, Shahwani reports directly to the prime minister but is closely supervised by CIA officers, Chalabi added. Under their guidance, the service has turned much of its focus toward neighboring Iran, he said.

According to a report prepared in April by knowledgeable officials for members of the now-disbanded Governing Council, the service roster is two-thirds Sunni Muslim and one-fourth Shiite in a country that is about 60 percent Shiite, giving rise to fears that the new service has incorporated many former members of Hussein's Sunni-dominated services.

"This won't fly here," Chalabi said....

Next, Chalabi said, the new government should grab control of the country's finances. Specifically, he said, it should demand a full accounting of how (Paul) Bremer, who had check-signing authority, spent funds from the Development Fund for Iraq, a pool of cash from Iraqi oil sales designated to pay for reconstruction....

3. Oh my god. This is more bad than I even imagined it to be. Oh shit!

and the Cheney word too. Damn! It's about to get more than ugly in Iraq and the Mid-East. Instead of "God bless us", could we try just a little "god help us"? "We're sorry for what has been done in our name"? I sure as hell know I and my husband are sorry for what our country has done in and our behalf to make us safer (?) and to bring democracy to all those "poor people in Iraq". We don't like it.

4. But now it is the Iraqis. See how it works? We won't "be able to

interfere in a 'Sovereign country'"... of course, if they dare touch our oil we will interfere. But they are sovereign to torture and maim. And with the record of "terrorist recognition" can you imagine how many innocent Iraqis will be maimed?

I wonder if Bush has stocked up orthopedic arms and legs to replace the ones that will be cut by our puppet government.

10. It's that special "sovereignity"...

...you know, the type of sovereignty where they build 14 permanent military bases on your soil. and the occupying forces never leave. And the US continues to dictate law to you. And no one can ever vote.

You know, that type.

[cthrumatrix]

7. Exactly...all Iraq control now....which is BS...bring the troops home now

[LittleApple81]

8. I am so sorry for US soldiers... but I am even sorrier for Iraqis.

I am willing to BET that many innocent Iraqis will be caught in this struggle for power. We replaced a "dictator" with our own puppets so are not any better. Great work.

9. The new government is Baaithists, remember.

We love the bad guys!

[LittleApple81]

11. A guy named Jabal on C-Span (RW panel) said violence is really low in

Iraq... essentially he is saying the violence is much ado about nothing. We are getting ready for an iraqi bloodbath, me thinks.

[truth2power]

12. This works out nicely.....

Let's see....we invade a country, secure (more or less) THEIR oilfields, then install the very same thugs who were in charge before. The thugs can assure the natives don't get too restless or think about taking back THEIR oil.

Voila!! We have the oil and the Iraqis have the same shitty life, in terms of human rights, that they had under Saadam. Not our problem.

I hate these scum! :puke:
