Iran Focus

Baghdad, Dec. 31 - The Iraqi interim-Prime Minister, Ayad Allawi, speaking on Iraqi TV today echoed comments made yesterday by Iraq’s Defence Minister, about Iranian and Syrian meddling in Iraq. “There are countries which host those who are involved in activities that are harmful to the people of Iraq”, he said.

Allawi made the comments in response to a question by Al-Iraqiah satellite TV channel on Iranian and Syrian meddling in Iraq and the recent evidence that had been obtained in that regard.

Allawi said that he had written to Iraq’s neighbours giving names and specific information that had been discovered and that he was now awaiting a response. “We are waiting for a response from them (Iran and Syria)”, he said.


The Iraqi Defence Minister, Hazem Shaalan, announced yesterday that he had fresh information on Iranian and Syrian meddling in Iraq. “I have important information regarding the interference into Iraq by these two countries”, Hazem Shaalan said. Speaking on Al-Arabia satellite TV channel, Shaalan stated, “The Iraqi people will soon see footage of the confessions of one of the perpetrators who has information about the meddling of these two countries in Iraq”.

1. Or else...?

What is this idiot going to do? Allawi doesn't have an army or police. He doesn't have an air force. He is not even recognized as legitimate by most of his own people. Why all this bluster? Is he preparing the groundwork for a new American bombing campaign against his neighbors?

Are we so stupid that we would expand the war into Iran and Syria at the same time we are losing the war in Iraq? Are we going to have a military left by the time Bush finished fighting his biblical wars?

2. Iraq people warn US, Britain to stop disrupting peace

That is absolutely ridiculous. He is the puppet of the force which has destroyed and oppressed Iraq. Now he makes false claims against Iran and Syria, which have virtually no part in Iraq right now.
Absolutely ridiculous.

3. I imagine he is doing this for Bush

As one of Bush's trusty middle east surrogates.
