Recent reports have the CIA conducting secret meetings with former Iraqi Vice President Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, the current leader of Iraq’s banned Ba’athist Party, in locations such as Syria and Yemen.
The CIA is said to be trying to negotiate a truce in an effort to improve Iraq’s Sunni minority’s disposition ahead of the March elections. It is unclear how well talks are progressing.
But even if a truce did have some beneficial effect on the attitude of the Sunnis, it is likely to be overwhelmed by the Shi’ite government’s banning of 14 Sunni political parties last week, ostensibly because they had unspecified “affiliations” with former Ba’athists.
After decades of declaring the Ba’athists among the most evil groups in the world, the US is showing a surprising turn-around this year, as this is the second time in less than a week officials are said to be in talks with a Ba’athist faction. Last week it was reported that the Yemeni government, at America’s behest, founded a new spy agency specifically to fill with former Ba’athists who fled Iraq during the 2003 US invasion.
This is very dicusting for me , I dont remember any suicide bombers in Iraq while Sadam was president . I never wanted to harm the baithests in the 1 st place . I really dont have a strong reason for supporting Sunnis over Shiets or vice a versa . But the previous administration was opposed to any baithest power , becuase shiets were a majority . This just was not true becuase Kurds are also considered Sunni muslims . Just a little differant than the Iraq sunni . I have noticed some unification of the Kurd Sunni and the Iraqi Sunni . which should be a good thing . Otherwise the Shiets will just have a free riagn to do anything they want to . There is a very great danger of the Iraqi factions to go on a bloody civil war . equality of strength should lesson that possibility . But you must remember they are arabian muslims . which means they arnt unfarmilar with fighting for the smallest reasons .
Perfect evidence that there is no crime, no travesty, no treachery, no genecideal activity that the trash south of the Canadian border is not prepared to engage in.
The CIA should never be trusted, Never!
They may say their goal is to help but in reality they have other goals, which they won't reveal. They always get people to betray their morals, allegiances, or countries by claiming their goal is altruistic. This is a lie.
