Ba'ath Party Organizes Iraqis To Fight US Forces

New York, NY (AHN) - Saddam Hussein's Ba'ath Party vowed to mobilize the "energy" of Iraqi people to expel the American forces from the country and said it would not join the political process initiated by the "occupying forces".

Former Vice President and senior party leader Izzat al-Douri, who is at large after the Saddam regime fell, said they have no intention of joining the political process "manufactured by and serves the occupying force."

The Ba'ath Party will continue "to mobilize and bring together the energies of the people for the fight to expel the occupation," al-Douri, the highest-ranking figure in Saddam's regime, told the 'Time' magazine.

Al-Douri is the 'King of Clubs' in the US deck of cards naming the Saddam regime's most wanted figures - is among several Ba'athist leaders believed to be hiding in Syria, under the protection of the president bashar as'sad, the magazine said.

2. Of course, the only news is 'status quo holds.'
They've been fighting; they'll continue to fight. It's the usual "we still don't intend to participate, except as rulers."

On the "man-bites-dog vs. dog-bites-man" continuum, this is "dogs can bite".

3. Well that's not 'civil war'-ish
Maybe most of the violence in Iraq is BECAUSE of the US occupation and NOT --um--crazy Iraqis blowing up religious opponents in a maelstrom of fury so typical of those 'people'.

This sounds more authentic...

5. And all the diplomatic inroads Condi is making with the Shiites in Lebanon
will help make them SUPPORT the USA (Israel's Puppet) completely. Therefore with the Shiite's (Hezbollah is Shiite) support of our troops, we've got it MADE! :sarcasm:

Yes, we are f**ked!

Thanks Dear Leaders! :nuke:
Thanks Condi! :nuke:
Thanks Bolton! :nuke:
Thanks "dumbass" Congress! :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

10. I never have been a big fan of the two party political system,
and this is exactly why. It just concentrates the power of the country in two few of peoples hands.
