The Way Things Work

Why, it appears that Ayad Allawi's $300,000 investment in the services of Barbour Griffith & Rogers is working.

Wow. Just wow. The article is written as if there were no other possible interpretations. It's almost blatant.

"Our adversaries in Iraq are heavily supported financially by other quarters. We are not," Allawi told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "We fought the elections with virtually no support whatsoever, except for Iraqis and the Iraqis who support us."

Shortly after making this statement, Allawi caused a concussion in Blitzer as the beam in his eye, engraved "U.S. Hearts Allawi," swung around and hit Blitzer up side the head.

Yeah. An overwhelming majority of the country is Shi'ite, but Iran has to spend mad-GOP cash to buy an election for the Shi'ites.

I heard that Iran had a guy name Hassid Rovemunijahd spreading stories about how Allawi had a Jewish baby out of wedlock. Yeah, that's it.

Allawi had a Jewish baby? Geez. That must have hurt.

Allawi said he cant reveal his second source either. He said the IRANIANS might try and kill them. Iraw Slooger is reporting there is a loophole and he may not be forced to disclose

Oh man, this thing is amazing.

The CIA reported that in the run-up to the election, as many as 5,000 Iranians a week were crossing the border with counterfeit ration cards to register to vote in Iraq's southern provinces.

Yes, clearly the reason that Iranian-backed Shia theocrats won in the southern provinces was because Iran was sending in thousands of phony voters, not because southern Iraq is full of Shias sympathetic to theocratic Shia politics!

"The Iranians had complete command of the field," recalls one former U.S. official who was in Iraq at the time. "The Iraqis were bewildered. They didn't understand what the U.S. was doing. It looked like we were giving the country to Iran. We told Washington this was a calamitous event, from which it would be hard to recover."

No doubt this "former U.S. official" is Robert Blackwill, former viceroy of Iraq who's being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by Allawi.

Do you think Ignatius ran any of this by the CIA? That he read Hersh on this at the time of the election? Was this marked "advertorial" in the print paper?
