Lakhdar Brahimi, U.N. envoy to Iraq - What was Kofi Anan thinking???REPLACE HIM NOW! |
From "Newshour with Jim Lehrer" yesterday
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome everyone. Professor Ajami, I would like to start with you. I wonder if
you can assess for us the Brahimi plan as we have seen it laid out for us?
FOUAD AJAMI: Well, in many ways, I mean, it is odd we have turned to Brahimi
because the language of the stock market may be appropriate. It's time for
dumping, and oddly we have now turned to a Nigerian, a member of the very same
discredited and bankrupt political class that has led the Arab world to ruin.
And I hope that Brahimi will pull a rabbit and will do something in Iraq which
is better than the sloth of ground his own native Nigeria is.
It is ironic we have turned to him and we can talk about this later because it
is about the change of American strategy after the screwy month of April but
nothing Brahimi says or does will change the ballot ground. Our forces are
there. We have 10,000 soldiers and the reality of Iraq will not be changed by
Brahimi.
(...)
GWEN IFILL: Mr. Ajami how did you evaluate what you heard him say about the timing?
FOUAD AJAMI: Well, I don't think the timing... the issue of the timing, I think
we can deal with it fairly rapidly. Bremer will be in charge until June 30.
After June 30, the real high commissioner in the place will be John Negroponte.
We are not going to turn anything over to the likes of Lakhdar Brahimi.
I think what is interesting about this situation in which we find ourselves, we
appointed a governing council and the governing council had enormous amount...
some of the characters are extremely credible and authoritative in their own
world. We didn't give them enough power. We kept carping about them and we kept
insisting that they were appointed not elected. We appointed them but then we
didn't empower them. What will be the fate of the next government? Will it be
any different? Will the outcome be any different? Will it be any more legitimate?
GWEN IFILL: Excuse me. So you suggest instead...
FOUAD AJAMI: I don't... I mean I think we know what is going to happen. I mean,
this has in fact we have empowered Brahimi. We live with this. June 30 is upon
us. We live with this. But I don't think we should just give this constitutional
process... it looks very precise and very neat that Brahimi has come up with. I
don't think we should give it that much credit. The force is on the ground and
the fight on the ground and the forces on the ground will determine what happens
in Iraq. The people in charge of Iraq will be Bremer and it will be Negroponte
and our military commanders who run these provinces of Iraq and have done a
decent job of it.
(...)
GWEN IFILL: Fouad Ajami, one of the things we have been trying to learn in the
last few days is exactly who is Lakhdar Brahimi and is he right person for this
job. He is a Sunni Muslim. Among his first statements was one in which he
reflected the anti-Israel sentiment among many of the Arab nations. Is he in the
right position right now for this job?
FOUAD AJAMI: He is not really the right man. There is a left bank intellectual.
I used to stay on a shack on a street in which he had a fancy apartment in
Paris. This is a Nigerian nationalist, a member of the Arab world. He describes
the situation in Fallujah as collective punishment. This is not collective
punishment unfolding in Fallujah. What we're trying to do in Fallujah is to
route out terrorists and Brahimi goes to Iraq and picks a fight with Ahmad
Chalabi, of all the political class in Iraq why? Because Chalabi is a Shia or
close or said to be close to the Bush administration, so it doesn't bode well.
GWEN IFILL: I just want to clarify when you say pick a fight, he has suggested
it would be okay if Chalabi was not part of the new interim caretaker government.
FOUAD AJAMI: And a general antagonism. I also want to add a footnote. Ambassador
Brahimi was under secretary-general of the Arab league when the Kurds were being
gassed by the Saddam regime. He had nothing to say about this. When he goes to
Iraq, he goes with a solid record. This is not the messenger and the angel that
we take him out to be.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then RASHID KHALIDI replied: If silence while the Kurds were being gassed would
disqualify people from being in Iraq, a large part of the Bush cabinet would
have to recuse themselves, starting with the secretary of defense.
Can you believe? (This is incredible since while it is true that Brahimi shoudl
have said something instead of doing like all the Afrabs did until the cvery
e4nd, kiss Saddam's *****, The US did someothing about this and never let it go
unnoticeed or unpunished.)
Of course there was also FEISAL ISTRABADI who came in late and who was saying it
was better Brahimini than "relying on an American imperator". Obviously we know
where he comes from too. He also licked the ***** of Khalidi.
So of the three, only Fouad Ajami pegged who was Brahimi and expoainmed in
understandable terms why he made such unrelated anti-semite statement at the
onset of his mission. We can nopw see that the Secretary GHenetral should have
made a background check on this piece of *****. I mean, it is like he announce
his colours and they are the principle of the Nazi ideology.
But seeing how the UN is totally overwhelmed by anti-semitism, it is like before
WW2, the UN is impotent to do anything agasit the anti-semitism that will bring
the next world war.
And to think that Nostradamus foresaw it...!
