When the U.S.-appointed Governing Council announced this week that it had selected a new prime minister, Brahimi seemed to be caught flat-footed. The man tapped for the post, Iyad Allawi, has close ties to the CIA. Almost immediately after being named prime minister, he called for the United States to keep its troops in Iraq, a position unpopular with many Iraqis. Asked how big a role the American administration had in forming the government and selecting the prime minister and president, Brahimi reminded reporters that American Ambassador L. Paul Bremer runs things in Iraq. "Bremer is the dictator of Iraq," he said. "He has the money. He has the signature."

102. The Downing Street Memo :: What Is It? A leaked British government memo reveals that Bush did not believe iraq was a serious threat, intelligence was fixed to sell the war to the American public, and Bush's public assurances of war as a last resort were at odds with their privately stated intentions. http://www.downingstreetmemo.com/

Today is The Downing Street "Memo" is actually meeting minutes transcribed during the British Prime Minister's meeting on July 23, 2002—eight months PRIOR to the invasion of Iraq in March 2003. The Sunday Times printed the text of this document on Sunday, May 1, 2005. Since then, several other leaked UK government documents have come to light. Together they paint a picture of a President intent on invasion, and a loyal ally troubled both by how it could be justified and by what it would bring. This site is intended as a resource for anyone who wants to understand the meaning and context of these documents as they relate to the Bush administration's march to war in Iraq. The Downing Street documents represent the impressions of our closest ally about what was going on in the US in the lead up to war. However, several other events have provided us with actual examples of the Bush administration in action, ensuring that their established beliefs and policies would be supported by supposedly objective intelligence and an unwitting public. These incidents are the tip of a very big iceberg. The fact that the head of UK intelligence came away from meetings in Washington concerned about intelligence and facts being "fixed around" a pre-existing policy is perhaps not surprising. But it does not make the Bush administration’s actions any less repugnant.

Iraq Puts Civilian Toll at 12,000 Insurgency Claiming About 20 People a Day By Ellen Knickmeyer Washington Post Foreign Service Friday, June 3, 2005; Page A01 BAGHDAD, June 2 Insurgent violence has claimed the lives of 12,000 Iraqis over the past 18 months, Interior Minister Bayan Jabr said Thursday, giving the first official count for the largest category of victims of bombings, ambushes and other increasingly deadly attacks. At least 36 more Iraqi civilians, security force members and officials were killed Thursday in attacks that underscored the ruthlessness and growing randomness of much of the violence. The day's victims included 12 people killed when a suicide attacker drove a vehicle loaded with explosives into a restaurant near the northern city of Kirkuk.

Iraq War Lies the Government Told Us Part 1: Hype About Iraq's Weapons Revolutionary Worker #1201, June 1, 2003 posted at rwor.org "Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit atrocities." Voltaire, radical French philosopher, 1767 To build support for an attack on Iraq, the U.S. government insisted the war was needed to protect the people of the United States from a devastating future terrorist attack. And starting with a September 2002 speech by Vice President Dick Cheney, the heads of the U.S. government repeated and expanded a series of claims. First, they insisted the Iraqi government was close to developing nuclear weapons and that Iraq already had massive battle-ready stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons. Second, they said the Iraqi government had an alliance with "terrorist groups" (including specifically Al-Qaida) who were seeking all available means to attack the U.S. Third, they said that the Saddam Hussein government was a special kind of "evil." Its recordincluding that it had "already used weapons of mass destruction against their own people"proved (so it was said) that Iraq's government could not be trusted to negotiate and could not be contained by military threats.

Everything depends on the meaning, perception and implementation of one word—sovereignty. Debate around this concept is intense, and rightly so, as it is the central fulcrum around which the short- and long-term future of the country will revolve. If one had to choose a theme to characterize this period in Iraq ’s history, it would be “appearance and reality.” Events following June 30th can either result in the country’s progress towards a modicum of stability or disastrous internal strife and tensions. But what even represents a more insidious danger is the subtle and invasive threat of the continued presence of the

In Iraq Iraq anti-corruption head gets tough on officials By Omar Anwar REUTERS 5:06 a.m. March 25, 2005 But Radhi Hamza al-Radhi, head of the Commission on Public Integrity (CPI), said he is determined to hold anyone found stealing, siphoning off public funds or misusing power accountable, no matter who they are. Amid growing anger among Iraqis over what they say is widespread corruption in government departments, Radhi has set up hotline numbers and email accounts to record tip-offs on any suspected incident of corruption. "The new Iraq and our commission are based on the rule of law. Anybody who misuses power and public funds will be held accountable. No one is above the law," Radhi told Reuters in an interview. The CPI was established in January 2003 by the now disbanded Iraqi Interim Governing Council and former top U.S. administrator Paul Bremer to curb bribery, embezzlement, and the misuse of power and public funds. In his tiny, neat office in the fortified Green Zone in Baghdad, Radhi, who graduated from law school in 1968 and was attorney general under Saddam Hussein, said the Ministry of Justice had issued a law that all senior Iraqi officials must declare their assets.

The Jews of Iraq By Mitchell Bard 1948 Jewish population: 150,000 2003: Approximately 100 One of the longest surviving Jewish communities still lives in Iraq . In 722 B.C.E. , the northern tribes of Israel were defeated by Assyria and some Jews were taken to what is now known as Iraq. A larger community was established in 586 B.C.E., when the Babylonians conquered the southern tribes of Israel and enslaved the Jews. These Jews distinguished themselves from Sephardim, referring to themselves as Baylim (Babylonions). In later centuries, the region became more hospitable to Jews and it became the home to some of the world's most prominent scholars who produced the Babylonian Talmud between 500 and 700 C.E. During these centuries under Muslim rule , the Jewish Community had it's ups and downs. By World War I, they accounted for one third of Baghdad's population. In 1922, the British recieved a mandate over Iraq and began transforming it into a modern nation-state. Iraq became an independent state in 1932. Throughout this period, the authorities drew heavily on the talents of the mall well-educated Jews for their ties outside the country and proficiency in foreign languages. Iraq's first minister of finance, Yehezkel Sasson, was a Jew. These Jewish communities played a vital role in the development of judicial and postal systems.

Last week, Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari met with senior Iranian leaders President-elect Mahmoud Ahmadi Nezhad, Ayatollah Ali Khameneh'i and outgoing President Mohammed Khatami. In the meeting with Khatami, the two sides pledged to work together to restore stability to the region. Their meeting was also followed by reports in the region this week that the two countries had reached agreement to build oil pipelines from the Iraqi port city of Basra to refineries in Iran. Al-Jaafari's trip came on the heels of his defense minister's sojourn there more than a week earlier, the headlines from which seemed to suggest a new era in military cooperation between the two neighbors.
