CIA's candidate for Iraq gets it - (just received it on anot

(From another forum)
"Nizar Khazraji, a prominent Iraqi general who defected to the West, was
assassinated Monday on his way to attend a U.S.-called meeting of
opposition groups in the southern city of Nassiriya."

This prominent general was chief of staff when the Halabja massacre
happened (among others). This terrible record did not faze the CIA who saw
him as the new "strongman" Iraq needed. Now it seems we'll never see how
this new Saddam Hussein would be created, nurtured and, finally, killed,
all without the Iraqis having a say in the whole thing. So another one will
be culled from the current crop. That's called "democracy" in some dark
quarters.

Wow! that is big news.


The CIA was reported to have helped him escape to Kuwait from house arrest in Denmark, where prosecutors were investigating his alleged role in gas attacks on the Iraqi Kurds

Nice. In twenty years maybe they'll have to liberate Iraq again, with this kind of carry on.

Maybe that's the "big deal", after all it's a matter of war-business for the US.
