Saddam, Chalabi, and Allawi Epitomize U.S. Foreign Policy by Jacob G. Hornberger, August 11, 2004
It would be difficult to find a better example of the moral bankruptcy and hypocrisy of U.S. foreign policy — and why it has stirred so much anger, hatred, and terrorism against the United States — than the relationship of U.S. officials with Saddam Hussein, Ahmad Chalabi, and Iyad Allawi. .. [...] ..
Initially, the designated replacement for Saddam was Ahmad Chalabi, an unsavory character if there ever was one — a Pentagon darling who U.S. officials knew had been convicted of bank fraud in Jordan. Such character flaws have never concerned the U.S. government, however, any more than Saddam’s character flaws concerned them when they were supporting him. All that matters in U.S. foreign policy is whether the dictator will do the bidding of U.S. officials.
However, Chalabi went “independent” by establishing ties with Iran and thus had to be replaced. He’s now been charged with “counterfeiting” by an Iraqi judge (who serves as part of the U.S.-appointed “temporary” regime in Iraq) and is threatened with a nice long jail term if he returns from Iran to Iraq.
The new designated U.S.-approved dictator is Iyad Allawi, a man who is reported to have committed terrorist acts (i.e., killing innocent Iraqi civilians during the Saddam regime) on behalf of the CIA. In what U.S. officials Orwellianly describe as “freedom,” Allawi is an unelected dictator in Iraq, ruling by decree, operating with no elected legislature, enforcing his iron rule with U.S. military forces, jailing and punishing people at will, and imposing the death penalty on Iraqis who are resisting the illegal occupation of their country by the U.S. government. A few days ago, in another act of “freedom” in Iraq, Allawi even closed down al-Jazeera for being a threat to national security. And he’s now got U.S. military forces killing every Iraqi who dares to resist an unelected, foreign-imposed tyrannical regime, despite the fact that the insurgents had nothing to do with 9/11.
