Iraq Baathists Threaten Violence if Allawi Loses, My Fatwa……………..

“Supporters of Iraq’s outlawed Baath Party have threatened that violence will increase if the current prime minister, Nouri al Maliki, emerges with victory from the hotly contested election. In a series of interviews, exiled Baath Party members and advocates of resistance against US forces in Iraq all claimed the future intensity of militant action hinges directly on the election’s outcome. If Ayad Allawi wins and becomes prime minister, violence will probably drop, they said. If Mr al Maliki is chosen for another term of office, the insurgency will gain momentum……..”

Neo-Baathists may yet gain some power in Iraq, thanks to their patrons outside Iraq. Under Mr. Allawi, a former Baathist, and his allies, many of them current Baathists, they hope to get in through the electoral gates. That schmuck Chalabi may be proven right at least this once.
But I got news for them all: Allawi is not going to be the prime minister of Iraq. They probably don’t know about my fatwa; it is a potent fatwa, more potent than all the fatwas of Shaikh whatishisass and his ilk.
