MUST READ- bush to turn Iraq over to terrorists
This information is news to me!

What would you call someone who wants to hand over control of Iraq to a group of terrorists that first made its reputation by blowing up a couple of American embassies?

I'd call him President Bush.

The group is called the Dawa party. In the early 1980s, Dawa terrorists bombed our embassies in Kuwait and in Lebanon. They were universally recognized as vicious America-hating, Iranian-supported terrorists. Now they're part of the coalition that is expected to win control of the new Iraqi parliament in Thursday's elections.

The other coalition partners aren't much better. The sanest group on the Shi'a side is the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq. A 1984 Washington Post story portrayed the group, known by its initials SCIRI, as "a kind of parent organization for four operational terrorist groups." SCIRI was founded in Iran a couple of years earlier by the Ayatollah Khomeini with the goal of taking control of Iraq. Now, they're about to do so, courtesy of George W. Bush.

...said Bob Baer, a former CIA agent who dealt with Dawa in the Mideast during the 1980s. "These guys are murderers. They were the core element that blew up our embassy in Beirut in 1983."

Not to mention our embassy in Kuwait. But now they're our pals in Iraq.

"We've turned this country over to them in an act of total brilliance," says Baer. "Why didn't I think of this? You turn the Middle East over to terrorists."

Indeed we have. By the end of this week, these guys will largely control Iraq. The only hope is that they've changed their ways.

Not likely, says Baer.

"I used to meet with them in the '90s, and they'd never shed their beliefs," he told me. "But no one asked us."

By "us," Baer means the CIA.

1. Sometimes you have to deal with the terrorists you've got

not the terrorists you want.

Especially if you're George W Bush and you make so many of them.

3. Holy crap. I just knew shrubco was full of **it. Unbelievable. But
hey, look on the bright side, once they turn, go after nukular weapons and so forth (perhaps we could supply them with some) we will have an excuse (in a few years) to bomb them back into the stone age. Problem solved "again".

5. They may be terrorists but they're OUR terrorists.
Until they turn around and bit us in the ass after they get full control of Iraq, of course.

6. Blood for oil, a fair exchange in BushWorld.

"The terrorists want to control the oil. Our way of life will be at risk". George W. Bush (Nov. 2005)
