WASHINGTON (AFP) - In a letter to the White House, a leading US Senate Democrat expressed "profound dismay" that the White House allegedly wrote a large portion of Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi's speech to Congress last week.

"I want to express my profound dismay about reports that officials from your administration and your reelection campaign were 'heavily involved' in writing parts of Prime Minister Ayad Allawi's speech," California Senator Dianne Feinstein wrote in a letter to President George W. Bush.

Oh Jesus Christ.

This is Hysterical. The article is so ashamed of it's source it doesn't even name the author. LABS was too ashamed to give the source, so mock had to track it down.

Wasn't she thrown out of office or is she running fagville out in San Francisco?

California Senator Dianne Feinstein

Allawi lied to Congress [BIG TIME] about Samarra

Text of Allawi address to Congress

Sep 23, 2004

I am a realist. I know that terrorism cannot be defeated with political tools only. But we can weaken it, ending local support, help us to tackle the enemy head-on, to identify, isolate and eradicate this cancer.

Let me provide you with a couple of examples of where this political plan already is working.

In Samarra, the Iraqi government has tackled the insurgents who once controlled the city.

Following weeks of discussions between government officials and representatives, coalition forces and local community leaders, regular access to the city has been restored. A new provincial council and governor have been selected, and a new chief of police has been appointed. Hundreds of insurgents have been pushed out of the city by local citizens, eager to get with their lives.

Today in Samarra, Iraqi forces are patrolling the city, in close coordination with their coalition counterparts.

US troops kill 100 in attack on rebel town

02 October 2004

American-led forces stormed the rebel stronghold of Samarra yesterday, launching a major offensive to wrest back control of the country's so-called "no-go" areas before the elections scheduled for January.

More than 100 people were killed and another 100 wounded as the city was pounded by air strikes and tank shells. The US military claimed the casualties were insurgents, but doctors in the city reported women, children and the elderly among the dead. Thousands of people were said to be fleeing the town, 60 miles north of Baghdad.

Homes were flattened and dozens of cars were set alight in yesterday's operation. The people of Samarra, their electricity and water supplies cut off by US and Iraqi government forces, took shelter in their homes, but said that many had been caught up in the crossfire.

"We are terrified by this violence used by the Americans to subdue the city. My wife and children are scared to death and they have not been able to sleep since last night. I hope the fighting ends as soon as possible," said Mahmoud Saleh, 33, a civil servant.

Rahim Abdul-Karim, a retired schoolteacher, said: "There has been a lot of deaths, and they have been of ordinary people ... They are killing us to save us."

I think anyone with any foresight could imagine the scenario that is now happening in Iraq. It is impossible to gain the confidence of a people when you are killing them and destroying their country. There is no way the U.S.
can leave this country in the foreseeable future and say you are now a democracy.
I predict the only exit strategy will be to say we did the best we could and now it's up to you. And like I've said all along, this is a country of religious extremists with no chance to appease them all.

And hindsight will show that everyone (whether inside or outside the bush misadministration) with any foresight was either muzzled, dismissed, or accused of anti-Americanism by the neocons.

This is the scary part, IMO.

Had the neocons living on Bush's Fantasy Island had any historical perspective or any understanding of the region when they planned their invasion, they would have remembered what happened with the Shah of Iran and the rise of the Ayatollah.

Well, so far the Halliburton White House hasn't denied Feinstein's observation.

Too bad the "liberal media" is too busy bobbing up and down on bush's unit to notice.
