At times I believe we should people it with American retired American military men. How would you like that?
By the way what is there about Iraq which is it necessary to "have clues" about? What are the complex intricacies of this "Iraq" society that the IGC are missing which prevents them from doing their job as well as they otherwise could? Enlighten me.
What does an IGC person need to know about Iraq that he cannot know by having lived in some other country?
How to plant roadside bombs?
How to go to a mullah's rally and pump your fist chanting slogans?
How to burn things, like cars?
How to hide inside your apartment complaining about how Americans aren't keeping the peace from Islamo-mafia thugs, and simultaneously saying the Americans should leave altogether even though that would mean the Islamo-mafia thugs take over completely, which you won't lift a finger to stop because you're scared of them?
They only was good to fool the CIA about the WMD and the flowers with wath the iraqis greating the US soldiers.
Flowers, eh?
You mean like these flowers?
Chalabi is wanted for bank fraud in Jordan
Wow, Jordan. And it's not like Jordan has a repressive government of its own or anything. With their vaunted constitutional protections and internationally renowned system of jurisprudence I guess Chalabi's a criminal fair and square.
and never been to Iraq since he was 14.
Yes, clearly he should have journeyed to Iraq and let Saddam Hussein's thugs kill him. That's what a real man would have done. THEN he would be fit to serve on IGC.
After all: Exiles are cowardly! You hear that, Florida Cubans? Cowardly! German Jews who emigrated to America in 1930s? Bunch of cowards!
Clearly only someone who remained in Iraq and did not get killed by Saddam Hussein, i.e. by remaining in his good graces, is worthy of having power in post-Hussein Iraq. Offhand I can think of one possible candidate: Saddam Hussein. He stayed! Maybe we should put *him* on the IGC.
Now they resigning one by one and on the end of Juni noone will be there to whom hand over the power.
That will be their loss not ours.
That will be their loss not ours.
OK..It sounds quite confident
But what if the 22 million Iraqi figures out that on the end it was not "liberation" after all , and noone cares about them?
I understand that the arabs are not everybody's cup of tee, but the reality is that they are a bit buffled:
No WMD, and Saddam is in safe hands now, the democracy is presented to them by 25 impotent dissidents, the Baathist army of 400.000 was fired with no salaries, but they keept their guns, and so on.
