Fallujah Can't Defy Iraqi Rule: Allawi
2004-11-07
Iraq is determined to "flush out" the insurgents and their foreign allies from their last remaining hideouts well ahead of next January's elections, interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi said in an interview conducted in Brussels. He called on "all those interested in the rule of law" to help his government crush the insurgents and hold elections in 12 weeks' time. "We cannot allow pockets of our national territory to remain outside Iraqi authority," he said. "We consider those pockets as chunks of Iraq that remain to be liberated."
There you have it. Why have a government if it's not going to govern all the country?

#10  I dunno why, but this song came to mind.

Let freedom ring
Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today,
is a day of a reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away
Let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day

#9  A couple messages I want to get out:

To our troops: Godspeed, good hunting, and be safe.

To the jihadis:
"Taste eternity" the swords sing,
Blues for Allah, In'sh'allah.

#8  â€œWe consider those pockets as chunks of Iraq that remain to be liberated.”

How pleasant to encounter such an unexpected degree of lucidity coming from within Iraq. Tyranny is tyranny, whether Baathist dictatorship or theocratic authoritarianism, it makes little or no difference. Both are the avowed enemies of liberty. Kofi Annan's role as an appeaser of such totalitarianism goes beyond shameful and into the realm of outright criminality.

#7  Coffee sealed his fate when he decided to publicly oppose Bush's re-election. I'm sure Jacques will have a job for him now that Arafish is indisposed.

#6  Kalle your correct. I think Kofi is a muslim. He is also a seiral enabled of genocide. I am hoping the US can block his reappointment.

#5  Kofi Annan's recent statements --attempting to give legitimacy to the terrorists in Fallujah, and shelter them from military action-- should be amply sufficient reason to STOP UN workers from entering Iraq during their elections.

I suspect Annan is an Islamofascist mole. He has never said or done anything against Islamofascism. But he has always sought to hamper their victims.

#2  Sock, we could not have said it better. The man is right on target. Allawi sees right through Kofi's stall game.

I wonder how PM Allawi feels about all the attention the Ivory Coast is receiving since Chirac is so friendly with Kofi and the U.N. hacks?

"We had better use my Litchenstein account."

#1  The interim prime minister said he had rejected a demand by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan to consider postponing the assault on Fallujah. “The same people who talk like that would criticize us if we held the elections with Fallujah and a few other places left out,” he said.

He has got that right.
