| Mish'an Jabouri, Former Iraqi MP and Owner of Syria-Based Arrai TV: I Dream Of 'Suraqia - Greater Syria and Iraq' | |
| 2009-10-26 | |
| I Dream Of "Suraqia - Greater Syria and Iraq" Mish'an Al-Jabouri: "We support good relations between Syria and Iraq, but not between Syria and the Al-Maliki government. We support good relations between Iraq and Syria regardless of who the ruler is, because we believe that this serves the people and their interests, and that it is a positive factor. "Personally, I believe in the philosophy and notion of 'Suraqia' - Greater Syria and Iraq. This is what I dream about. Just like some people dream of Arab unity and others of Islamic unity, I adhere to the notion of Suraqia. "Therefore, in the days of the late president Saddam Hussein, I used to call from Syria for good Syrian-Iraqi relations, at a time when they were very bad. Back then, Al-Maliki would curse me in the newspaper he had here, and would accuse me of working for Iraqi intelligence, and of being an agent for Saddam, just because I would call for good Syrian-Iraqi relations." Al-Maliki "Executed President Saddam Hussein on the Day [Al-Maliki's] Son Was Married - And the Body Was Brought To the Wedding Celebration" "This philosophy has not come to an end. But the truth is that Al-Maliki wanted to profit, because he is a vindictive person. He is someone who... He executed President Saddam Hussein on the day [Al-Maliki's] son was married, and the body was brought to the wedding celebration. Al-Maliki is a sick person, and his hatred is manifest in a horrifying way." Interviewer: "The body was brought there? That's the first time I hear this." Mish'an Al-Jabouri: "Yes, the body of President Saddam Hussein was brought to the wedding celebration of Al-Maliki's son, amid jubilation, ululation, and applause. He executed Saddam Hussein on the day of his son's wedding. I'm not making this up. He is more than welcome to deny this on Arrai TV." [...]

| #2 Are Ba'athists really that stupid, or is this guy a provocateur? Just as Baghdad's cleaning up yet another three-figure suicide bombing that the government is blaming on Ba'athists, he up and starts squawking about Maliki's family and whining about the execution of Saddam? Sounds like he *wants* a Syrian-Iraqi border war. |

| #1 Al Maliki blames Baathists in Syria for the atrocious bombings yesterday. Al-Jabouri should be looking over his shoulder. |
