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

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061210/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq_us_report

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. Did Rummy meet w/ Talabani before this statement was made?

...it would be interesting to find out.

2. Don't know but yes it sure would be interesting to know

but not necessary the official word on it but the real truth.

3. So Talabani, how many Kurds have you killed lately? Still remember kissing

Saddam Hussein on television?

5. It wouldn't be so bad but we all knew or at least I did that the bushturd* was openning up a can of

worms that he knew nothing about and no idea as to what to do other than finish the trip his crying ass dad started but who had enough sense to turn around and leave from. History will not be kind to mr bush* 43, neither will the courts.

4. Rummy knows exactly where all the money went

Maybe he's extorting up a collection for his retirement.

6. at one point we flew in somthing like 25 million dollars in 100 dollar bills

that figure may have been billions, as I am getting old and my memory may not be the best. If I remember correctly it was something like 28 tons of 100 greenback dollars. lots of money

7. One ton of bills is approximately a million bills.

If those bills are humdreds, thats one hundred million $ per ton. Twenty eight tons would be twenty eight hundred million or 2.8 billion dollars.

8. something like that

9. Retirement slush fund? Perhaps. Maybe playin his 'stay outta jail' card?

By seeing PERSONALLY to the shredding of certain papers.

I always figured the invasion of Iraq and removal of Saddam was as much for eliminating old incriminating paper trails as for oil reserves and gas pipeline routes. Rummy, Cheney and their masters have much 'splaining to do and it seems likely they don't want to deal with anyone outing their shady dealings from other decades.
