SAIRI sends message to Iraq's army
2003-03-24
The Supreme Assembly for Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SAIRI) sent a message on Monday to Iraqi Army as well as other militants inviting them all to seriously put an end to the hegemony of Iraqi regime and prepare grounds for Iraqi people to administer their own affairs. Elsewhere in the message, it said the Iraqi regime, ignoring the interests of its army and nation, has engaged its troops into this war in a bid to maintain power. Addressing the army of Iraq, the message said,"You are fully aware of the stupid policies of the regime, and you should consider that your nation and your motherland require you to put an end to this hegemony which has brought murder and killing and has let the foreign forces invade your home." Aggressive policies and stubbornness of Iraqi criminal regime who is not in compliance with international conventions and principles, have encouraged the aliens to invade the country, it said. The Iraqi nation asks their army to prevent the unjustifiable mass killing, invasion and blood bath, concluded the statement.
"Hey, you guys! Why don't you throw Sammy out of office, and then the Merkins will go away and we'll take power..."

#2  Scooter, I don't think so, because I think our occupation of Iraq will be much like our occupation of Germany after WW2: there were certain things the Germans knew they weren't allowed to do, because if they started edging towards those things, we'd react. Same thing in Iraq, and one of those things (I suspect) will be the attempt of an Islamist party to assert itself.

#1  This is one of my big fears. The current Iraqi regime, horrific as it is, is secular and anti-Islamist. Get rid of Saddam and install democracy, and then how long do you think it will be before they vote for a Islamist Mullah-ocracy? Not too long, I don't think. "Out of the frying pan and into the fire!"
