Insurgency Deepens Plight of Iraq's Allawi
By HAMZA HENDAWI, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Ali Eidan knew exactly where to put the blame for the blood he swept off the floor of his grocery store after a bomb blast killed dozens of people: the interim government of Prime Minister Ayad Allawi.

Well into his third month in office, Allawi has little to show for his overtures to Sunni and Shiite insurgents. His offer of amnesty has found no takers; his emergency powers to deal with hotbeds of resistance have apparently failed to deter anyone.

The perception of Allawi as America's puppet is ever more entrenched as he embarks next week on his first official trip to the West.

The Iraqi leader and British Prime Minister Tony Blair are to meet in London on Sunday before Allawi heads to a U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York. He then travels to Washington, to address a joint meeting of Congress on Thursday and meet afterward with President Bush.

The visit comes as optimism about Iraq's future is giving way to grim assessments.

A document the U.S. National Intelligence Council presented this summer to the Bush administration offered three pessimistic scenarios regarding the security situation in Iraq — one being the possibility of a civil war before the end of 2005.

1. Allawi was a TERRORIST

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iyad_Allawi


Allawi was recruited by the CIA in 1992 as a counterpoint to the more well-known CIA asset Ahmad Chalabi, and because of the INA's links in the Ba'athist establishment. According to former CIA officers, Allawi's INA organised terrorist attacks in Iraq between 1992 and 1995, allegedly including the bombing of a cinema and a school bus that killed school children. This campaign never posed a threat to Saddam Hussein's rule, but was designed to test INA's capability to effect regime change.

2. Allawi is just another Shah of Iran , Pinochet or Marcos

A USA backed puppet for the "Best Interests" of the USA. The population isn't buying it, and it already has become a bloody mess.

3. So Allawi will be coming to America to BS everyone into beleiving that

Irak is now a democratic paradise and to thank Americans for their sacrifice, and while on it to promote Bush's re-selection.
