Iraq’s Allawi Pulls a Coakley, in Riyadh not in Bahamas…….
“Former Iraqi prime minister Iyad Allawi on Tuesday defended his two-week tour of Arab states and denied it was linked to next month's general election in which he leads a secular coalition. "Some of those in power wanted to cause a stir over my trip to certain Arab countries and some deluded minds have linked it to the upcoming election," said Allawi, who heads the broad Al-Iraqiya secular alliance of candidates contesting the March 7 poll. The Shiite politician said at a press conference that he had visited Saudi Arabia to discuss with King Abdullah the "growing danger" posed by Al-Qaeda in the region. He also visited and held meetings with senior officials in Egypt, Kuwait, Qatar and Lebanon………”
Allawi is showing how much contempt he has for the Iraqi voter, and for everybody else, with this silly blatant lie.
So, Allawi claims he visits his only political base, the Arab oligarchs, for two weeks just to discuss the danger of al-Qaeda. Great strategists that they all are. Just two weeks before the Irai elections! He might as well imitate the campaign of Martha Coakley of Massachusetts and spend his two weeks in the Bahams (or was it Mexico) before the elections. They are fun-ner places than Riyadh, I can assure him. I know about Mexico (but stay out of Ciudad Juarez).
