Right-Wing Operatives Plot To Overthrow Maliki, Replace Him With Reliable Collaborator Allawi
Right-Wing Operatives Plot To Overthrow Maliki, Replace Him With Reliable Collaborator Allawi
The powerful Republican lobbying group of Barbour Griffith & Rogers is plotting an effort to displace Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and supplant him with former interim Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi. IraqSlogger reported:
BGR’s work for Allawi includes the August 17 purchase of the Web site domain Allawi-for-Iraq.com.
In recent days, BGR sent hundreds of e-mail messages in Allawi’s name from the e-mail address DrAyadAllawi@Allawi-for-Iraq.com.
BGR’s staff is stacked with conservative operatives with extremely close ties to the White House. Its president is Bush’s former envoy to Iraq, Ambassador Robert Blackwill. Philip Zelikow, a former Counselor to Condoleezza Rice, serves as a senior adviser to the firm. Lanny Griffith, chief executive officer, is a Bush Ranger having raised at least $200,000 for Bush in the 2004 presidential election. And Ed Rogers, chairman and founder of the firm, has been a reliable political ally for the Bush White House.
The right-wing has long had a fascination with Allawi, largely because he has proved to be compliant with the Bush administration’s agenda. Allawi was ceremonially anointed Iraq’s leader in June 2004 by then-Coalition Provisional Authority chief administrator Paul Bremer.
While serving as interim Prime Minister, Allawi repeatedly rejected calls for U.S. troop withdrawals. During the height of the 2004 presidential election campaign, Allawi delivered a strong defense of Bush’s “stay the course” strategy in much-hyped Rose Garden appearance. Later, media reports revealed that Allawi had been “coached” by the administration prior to his appearance:
[A]dministration officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the prime minister was coached and aided by the U.S. government, its allies and friends of the administration. Among them was Dan Senor, former spokesman for the CPA who has more recently represented the Bush campaign in media appearances. Senor, who has denied writing the speech, sent Allawi recommended phrases. He also helped Allawi rehearse in New York last week, officials said. Senor declined to comment.
Allawi has been described as “Saddam lite.” In 2004, he handcuffed and blindfolded suspected terrorists and shot them in the head with a pistol. Now, with frustrations mounting against current prime minister Maliki, the administration may be using that as an opportunity to usher in its reliable ally Allawi. In a Washington Post op-ed last week, Allawi wrote a piece that seemed to be an effort to curry favor with the White House.
After long claiming Maliki was “the right guy for Iraq,” Bush this week said, “If the government doesn’t respond to the demands of the people, they will replace the government.” Despite Bush’s assurance that it’s “up to the Iraqis to make that decision, not American politicians,” it appears conservative operatives are plotting to override the will of Iraqis and institute their own.
UPDATE: Spencer Ackerman has more.

August 23rd, 2007 at 10:58 amFor those interested in a psychological analysis of warmongering, I have recently completed a 10-minute online video entitled “Resisting the Drums of War.†It examines how the Bush administration has promoted the misguided and destructive war in Iraq by targeting five core concerns that often govern our lives–concerns about vulnerability, injustice, distrust, superiority, and helplessness. Looking ahead, the continuing occupation of Iraq–or an attack on Iran–will likely be sold to us in much the same way. The video examines these warmongering appeals and how to counter them. It’s available for viewing HERE.
August 23rd, 2007 at 10:59 amdubya has a thing for holding hands with men, doesn’t he?
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:01 amLOL, nice guy this Allawi dude, but I suppose if we can get the hydrocarbon law passed, then it means victory for US corporate interest. Looks like Bush’s confidence in Maliki may be the kiss of death.
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:01 amSo Bush wants his thug Allawi to be the new Saddam for Iraq? Well Dubya wants the OIL and not democracy in Iraq. He wants a strongman who will do his bidding. Maliki will now be overthrown.
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:03 amWe must abandon the democratic process in Iraq so we don’t have to abandon it here.
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:04 amGreat idea. This will provide breathing room for much-needed political progress in Iraq. Do-nothing Maliki could use an ouster.

You certainly have a knack for choosing pictures.
If Allawi can’t keep his shirt tucked in, how can he handle the terrorists?
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:05 amIs it obvious now that we are going to be stuck with a brand new dictator in that country?
Not that right wing types care about that. As long as we have one that will give us that oil at a cheap price, then it’s all good right?

Comment by Crump’s Other Brother — August 23, 2007 @ 11:05 am
It’s been obvious since before the war. Democracy has never been a goal. Liberation has never been a goal. The point of this war (and the first Gulf War) was to punish our old friend Saddam for not giving us control of his oil.
In most countries we just stage a coup or get a bodyguard to assassinate the guy, but the CIA trained Saddam far too well and he was really good at hiring bodyguards and keeping them loyal.

We’ve become a country “of the oil, by the oil, and for the oil”.
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:28 amIn a true democracy, the people would “vote†on the issue of the United States occupation, on whether the troops should continue the surge, or begin withdrawal.
how wrong you are the sole vote for America forces to stay was held with Maliki
since then Iraqs Parliment voted and won with 147 minitsers that the decision to let US troops stay should be voted on by Parliment and not soley Maliki
This would lead to US forces being voted out of Iraq in December when the UN mandate runs out

August 23rd, 2007 at 11:38 amAn important angle to this: Maliki is a Shiite; Allawi is a secular Sunni. Our allies in the arab world Saudis/Jordanians/Egyptians view Bush’s Iraq adventure as a catastrophe because it has removed Sunni Arab Iraq from its traditional role as a counterweight to Shiite Persian Iran.
These are the considerations that led Bush 41 to the little-discussed secret deal in 1991 to allow Sadam’s Republican Guard formations to withdraw intact, and then slaughter about 100,000 Shiite Arabs Bush 41 had just called upon to revolt. The neocons/Israel boosters never forgave Bush41 for this, though they don’t talk about it publicly, other than declaring the mid-90’s goal to “finish” Iraq.
Yes, Bush 43 is a fool and a hypocrite. The deepest damage he has done is to destabilize the already-precarious Persian gulf. Similarly dire problems and consequences attend the Iraqi/Syrian/Turkish Kurds in the north.
Love Bush or hate him (I hate him), he is becoming irrelevant. The Saudis are asserting themselves. The Turks may soon follow. Neocons and AIPAC adventurists are ready to stoke any fire they can find, if by so doing they can serve the Israeli right.
We will live with the consequences for decades.
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:39 amWell said alex.
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:42 amAllawi is a complete, suicidal fool if he thinks that getting in bed with Bush is anything other than a figurative and literal kiss of death. Naturally Bush and his sycophants are too stupid to realize this as well.

August 23rd, 2007 at 11:48 amYes, a strongman like Allawi is very appealing for people who want to return to the stability of the Saddam years. But, for all his tough talk, he blew it in 2005. Only a handful of GOP operatives in suits support him, not the Iraqis.
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:49 am.
58 / Allawi is a secular Sunni
BUT Allawi was born to Shia parents
the summer of 2004, Allawi made several controversial decisions. Most notably, his decision to support the invasions of both Najaf and Falluja made him extremely unpopular amongst Iraq’s Shia and Sunni
some Sunni Allawi attacking Falugha EH??
polled a distant third, with 14% of the vote ( now to be a dictator )
(arrest warrants have been issued for ministers in his administration), and a real perception among Iraqis, both Shia and Sunni, that he has a somewhat thuggish character, reminiscent of Saddam Hussein.

August 23rd, 2007 at 11:51 amWhat better way to demonstrate to the Iraqis that democracy is a good thing and their vote means something - we don’t like their democratically elected government so we just change it.
August 23rd, 2007 at 11:52 amIsn’t that why we went to Iraq? To bring them democracy?
Yeah, more great news from the neocons. Aside from being the CIA’s puppet, he was involved with the INA (Iraqi Mational Accord) which supplied erronious information to M16 about WMDs. A childhood friend of Saddam’s and extremely close ally/relative of Chalabi. The former minister of trade in Iraq was Ali Allawi (Chalabi’s sister’s son and cousin to Ayad).

Every time I have a discussion about the motives that terrorists may have, to blew up innocent people, I tell them to imagine for a moment how they would feel if you watch soldiers raping women of your family, your home destroyed by tanks, your relatives kidnapped and killed, your friends tortured, and yourself being pictured in an awkward position while a military woman smiles at the camera.
I will never bomb myself, of course, but then again I have never endured what those poor people have.

You’re just a fool and a little SpicocraKKKA ppunk!
I’m part Native American, so why don’t you and Juan both go back to your own hemisphere. [sarcasm]
August 23rd, 2007 at 12:48 pmKeith,
My ancestors were brought here in chains by JUan’s ancestors.
They then sold us to the other White Devils.
Heck they even used us(Buffalo Soldiers) to fight you!
I understand ypour anger, the White man is evil but his time is up.
August 23rd, 2007 at 12:53 pmAllah will unleash the Asians and Blacks to exterminate the Whiteman.
You will be with us!
Rasheed, dont forget about Gozer The Gozerian. ;)
August 23rd, 2007 at 12:53 pmthe only elections that have ever mattered to Iraqis are the American elections - 2000 - 2004. 2006 should have but nothing happened due to spineless Democrats.
Any wonder Iraqis vote with their IEDs and AK47s?
August 23rd, 2007 at 12:57 pmAs a caucasion whose business allows for interaction of all cultures, I find the idea that a geek in his mother’s basement “pretending” to be African American, and posting racist and bigotted remarks, highly offensive.
TP administraters, you have the power (as per many of my own posts)

I agree with you, but in the meantime we can simply ignore the idiot until it wanders off in pursuit of other entertainment.
August 23rd, 2007 at 1:18 pmPerhaps this is linked to Bush’s Vietnam annalogy and Maliki will soon find himself on a one way ride in the back of an APC as Diem did?
August 23rd, 2007 at 1:21 pmBush was for Malaki before he was against him - then he was for him. (yesterday’s telling remark by gwb: stating Malaki was a good [started to say’ guy’ before looking at his crib notes] man. The equivalent of ‘heck of a job…’ Reading between the lines: Malaki will be getting the ‘purple thumbs’ down.
August 23rd, 2007 at 1:41 pm10,000 Terrorists Killed Or Captured In Iraq In 2007

Kinda like how 650,000 Iraqis kill then it went to 1,000,000.
NICE ROUND NUMBERS HEH:)
Makarios hEYOOOooOoooOoOOooooOOOoooOO!
August 23rd, 2007 at 1:54 pmThe figure of 655,000 was for extra violent deaths from March 2003 invasion to July 2006. About a week ago the estimated number went over one million. Their methodology has been called sound and robust by the British Defense Ministry and has been used all over the world for years.
You really should improve your sources of information or you will never learn anything.

Mr. P and CT back “together” again. How romantic.
August 23rd, 2007 at 2:40 pmSo does this make Carl Levin Right Wing as in “Senator Calls for Maliki’s Ouster” ?
August 23rd, 2007 at 3:15 pmFacts: No oil is flowing from Northern Iraq to Israel as of today.
Al-Maliki is not able to deliver on the transfer of 80% of Iraq’s oil
fields into the hands of Exxon, etc
Now, is anybody still wondering why Sen(s) Levin and Clinton are
calling for Al-Maliki’s outster?
Please repeat after me: It’s the oil, stupid!

Yes genius, but the only difference is its easier to count dead Iraqi’s than it is dead “terrorists”. Do we count the government sponsored shia death squads who attack americans as terrorists? Do we could count the sunni insurgents who are fighting those death squads as terrorists also, or only if they attack american troops as well? Is there alot of hot terrorist on terrorist violence going on? Inquiring minds want to know…
This is a great thread…I havent even seen a single troll try and even semi-coherently defend this.. its because its pretty indefensive… cross “bring the iraqis democracy” off the list of reasons we are still in Iraq.. heheheh
August 24th, 2007 at 1:51 amI hate my freaking imperialist country, we need to go back to the pre Teddy Roosevelt days to redeem ourselves in the eyes of the world.
August 24th, 2007 at 2:09 amBush is only looking for someone who doesn’t function independent of his neo-conservative agenda. Replacing Maliki will further weaken an already weak government. Providing democracy for the Iraqis was never really a goal. Bush wants a puppet government in Iraq that will do what he says regardless of whether it is in the best interest of the Iraqis or not.

Right.. what he doesnt realize (or should I say, one of the thousand things he doesnt realize) is that the Shia majority isnt going to put up with this.. they are going to resist and the United States has neither the stomach, nor the goodwill left to crush the revolt that would ensue.. before this is all over, the united states is going to be desparately wishing they could find someone as brutal as saddam to crush the people demanding democracy..
August 24th, 2007 at 4:54 amBGR has a finger in all sorts of pies. The firm managed to overturn the federal recognition of two of the oldest northeastern American Indian tribes through its political clout and White House connections. These people are bad to the bone, driven by money and power and nothing — nothing! — else. See these:
