Talibani calls Iraq Study Group report ‘dangerous’

The Washington Post resports that Iraqi President has termed the bipartisan reports recommendations ‘dangerous and an insult to Iraq people.

Look, this Iraqi government may purport to have been elected, but Iraq is a country under occupation by the US and its allies. Everything that this government does or says is simply a reflection of the US government and its armed forces engaged in the occupation.

His government’s “country” consists of the “Green Zone”, the Americans are building several dozen permanent military bases in Iraq.

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.

A fair and democratic society does not discriminate against persons because of their membership or affiliation to a party.

I must remind Mr. Talibani that he is the President of the country. He should be neutral. He has himself suffered injustices during the period of Sadam Hussein , so he should not commit the same crimes, for which he always accused Saddam Hussein.

He said Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki should control the county’s security forces without requiring U.S. authorization.

Just wait until Saudi Arabia starts funding the Sunni insurgency. Then Mr. Talabani will be begging for those extra 20,000 American troops.

Without the participation of Sunnis, you people will not be able to hold the federation.
