Baath Party Could be Reinstated in Iraq

[ECH1969]

The Shiite-led Iraqi Government says thousands of Baath party members could be reinstated to their jobs.

Thousands of members of Saddam Hussein's Baath party members could be reinstated if a draft law by Iraq's government is approved by parliament.

The law and its amendments are in line with the prime minister's national reconciliation plan, aimed at ending insurgent violence.

Why did we go to war again?

[MadMaddie]

1. Full Circle...* cabal is so incompetent they have ended up

back to the very place where they started...all of our soldiers killed and maimed for nothing...

If they reinstate the Baathist do they still kill Saddam? They don't ever think anything through...

5. The US helped it into power in the 50s to combat the Iraqi Communist Party

when the "communists" in Iraq had no allegiance to the Soviets. Rather, they were more nationalists than communists.

It's the Mises Effect YET AGAIN:

"Intervening in a situation that itself was the result of a prior intervention often leads to the opposite desired effect."

6. Shias offer Sunnis jobs for peace

BAGHDAD - A day after Saddam Hussein was sentenced to hang, the Shia-dominated government offered a major concession to his Sunni backers that could see thousands of members of the ousted dictator's Baath party reinstated in their jobs.

With a tight curfew holding down violence after Saddam's guilty verdict and death sentence, the government reached out to disaffected Sunnis, hoping to entice them away from the insurgency, which has killed tens of thousands of Iraqis and is responsible for the vast majority of U.S. casualties.
