The announcement has been made that Iraq will have yet another prime minister appointed by the U.S. If you don’t have a scorecard, the previous one, supposedly elected in a democratic manner, was Ibrahim al-Jaafari. For a few months, he was the darling of the U.S. administration, but he became old news. An influx of western politicians bombarded Iraq in the past couple of weeks and "persuaded" al-Jaafari to step aside for the good of the country.
The new stooge is Jawad al-Maliki. Don’t be concerned that your memory is failing if you don’t recall him. He lived in Iran from 1980 until the illegal March 2003 invasion of Iraq. His most remarkable feat since returning is his membership of the de-Baathification committee in which he was a zealous proponent of taking away the nationhood of millions of Iraqis.
All the pieces are fitting. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Dawa Party, formed in the 1950s, made various attempts at overthrowing the Iraqi government. Al-Maliki was one who failed and ran to Iran, just as Jaafari and others did.
The same group tried to assassinate Saddam Hussein in 1982. However, in a strange twist of logic, Saddam is now being tried for crimes against humanity for the incident in which he was the target. And, during the middle of a brutal war. In most countries, those who attempted the assassination, as well as those who fled to the enemy, would be considered traitors. Not in the "new" Iraq. The U.S. government (Republicans and Democrats alike) have not only re-written history, but logic as well.
