 The Agonist: Hardliner Made New Interior Minister in Iraq
Mahmoud's appointment, combined with the decision to lift sanctions against weapons sales and exports to Iraq, signal that the US is going forward with preparations for an all out "Iraqetization" of the occupation, with the intent of equipping the police force.
His promotion to Interior Minister is in line with his membership on the Council's "Security Committee", it is he who drafted the recommendations for 2 Billion to be spent on security in Iraq to train an internal police force - and that the money should be spent quickly - within 18 months of being allocated.
