	Press conference with the Prime Minister of Iraq
		The Prime Minister is here as a result of a democratic vote, and for the vast majority of Iraqis I am sure they want a future that is free from fear, in which they are sovereign rulers of their own country, and able to develop the enormous potential of Iraq and its people.
		All the demographic composition of Iraq is represented in Iraq, and also the Iraqi government is plural and represents the Shiites, the Sunnis and men and women of all the ethnic minorities in Iraq, they are in the National Assembly and in the government.
		And if Iraq can be freed not just from the tyranny of Saddam, but then freed from this tyranny of terrorist violence that kills innocent people wholly without reason, then it will make progress and become a huge example of that progress to not just the Middle East but the whole of the world.

		The new Iraq is still in its formative years, and poor planning on behalf of the US for post-Saddam Iraq combined with the efforts of Iraq’s neighbors to make it fail, have turned the birthplace of civilization into one of the most feared places on the planet.

	Iraq Prime Minister Said to Tour Tal Afar
		TAL AFAR, Iraq—Iraq’s prime minister toured the ancient northern city of Tal Afar on Monday—ignoring an alleged al-Qaida threat to strike with chemical weapons—to congratulate Iraqi forces for rousting militants from their stronghold near Syria, Iraqi television reported.
		Al-Iraqiya television, which showed no pictures, said Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari was in the Tal Afar area despite an insurgent threat to unleash chemical and biological weapons against the force of 5,000 Iraqi soldiers and commandos, backed by 3,500 troops from the U.S. 3rd Armored Cavalry regiment, who stormed into the city Saturday.
		The Islamic Army in Iraq, which previously claimed responsibility for kidnappings and killings of foreigners, called on its “holy fighters to strike the infidels with an iron fist.” It offered $100,000 for killing al-Jaafari, $50,000 for Jabr and $30,000 for al-Dulaimi.

		Spain's pullout of 1,300 soldiers – and an expected troop withdrawal by Honduras – was a blow to Bush's portrayal of a solid international coalition in chaotic Iraq.
		Iraq increasingly is a political problem for Bush as he faces re-election; more than half of Americans disapprove of his handling of the situation.
		Spain is the sixth largest contributor of troops in Iraq, and Bush urged that the withdrawal be coordinated with other coalition members so as not to put other forces at risk, the White House said.

	Bush Hosting New Radical Shiite Prime Minister of Iraq This Week (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In one of many disturbing signs, Prime Minister Jaafari has reneged on his pledge to disband the Badr Brigade, which was founded by Iran in the early 1980s as the military arm of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq which forms the biggest part of the ruling coalition.
		Following the US-led destruction of the anti-Islamist Baathist regime in Iraq and the consequent total disruption of the balance of power in the Middle East and regional stability, Iran is rapidly emerging as the regional hegemon of the Persian Gulf region.
		This constitution will allow Iraq to be governed as a de-facto theocracy much like Iran where despite democratic trappings, real power will be wielded by the Ayatollahs though in Iraq this would likely be behind the scenes rather than as part of a formal constitutional hierarchy as is the case in Iran.

		In just a matter of weeks the new Prime Minister of Iraq has accommodated his US paymasters with a zeal that must leave the dapper Hamid Karzai wondering if his job is safe.
		Allawi has become the cat’s paw of US policy in Iraq; the continued aggression of the military is being fashioned to appear as though Allawi is "calling the shots".
		Allawi started his political career as a Ba'ath Party enforcer and gradually worked his way up to become a senior official in the Iraqi secret police (the Mukabarat.) Eventually, he was bound to try to reconstitute the feared secret police that kept the Iraqi people under Saddam’s iron grip for decades.
