Senator Alleges White House Wrote Allawi's Speech

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the worked-for-caesar dept.

Jeremiah Cornelius writes "In a letter to the White House, a leading US Senate Democrat, Diane Feinstein, expressed 'profound dismay' that the White House allegedly wrote a large portion of Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi's speech to Congress last week. 'His speech gave me hope that reconstruction efforts were proceeding in most of the country and that elections could be held on schedule. To learn that this was not an independent view, but one that was massaged by your campaign operatives, jaundices the speech and reduces the credibility of his remarks.'"

    "That's the up and down-side to democracy; it is what the people make of it."

    I think you are working with a different definition of democracy then the administration is.

    having said that I think this administation would welcome any sort of a govt as long as Iraq is not allowed to join OPEC or to give french access to the wells.

    *Note, grandparent was intened as sarcasm, which is why I referred to those beacons of goodness (and current CIA assets) Islam "Boil Them Alive" Karimov and Momar "Wasn't He One of the Big Terrorists Under Reagan" Khadafi. (i.e. They are exactly like Hussein was when he was a CIA asset.)

    Though I endorse any chance to link to that picture.
