Iraqi opposition wants US support
  • An Iraqi opposition leader has lobbied the US government with a war plan against Saddam Hussein, calling for an air assault and the deployment of American special forces. He also wants the participation of Iran, which has reportedly agreed to accommodate offices of the opposition Iraqi National Congress and would allow an invasion across its border into southern Iraq. The Bush administration has been encouraged by its success in Afghanistan, and some quarters are pushing for similar action in Iraq, using the opposition led by Ahmed Chalabi.
    Sadly, this is based on a Seymour Hersh story in the New Yorker -- one of the world's least reliable reporters (Remember: KAL007 was an American spy plane.) -- as reported in The Guardian.
