Al-Arabiya reported that Izzat Ibrahim formed a new resistance alliance without mentioning who are the groups and how many [new front called Liberation and Jihad].
This statement came in time when the Ba’ath Party held its 13th conference and issued a second statement which criticized the US decision of partitioning Iraq [see below, translation of the second statement].
Extracted from the original statement, here are the names:
.…..More than two years ago, and after the resistance advanced their goals against the barbaric invasion, resistance factions entered a unifocation dialogues in preperation for the final decisive victory ……….about 22 resistance factions:Naqshabindi Suffi order Army

Second Statement
The Arab Baath Socialist Party Statement
American/Zionists project on the dividing of Iraq Great Iraqi people
Sons of the glorious Arab nation A few days ago, the American Administration revealed its Zionist evil monster jaws aiming the fragmentation of the Arab countries and the fragmentation of its people, and the gate to this division is the Eastern Gate of the Arab homeland (Great Iraq) into three entities (Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish) to achieve the American/Zionism the Greater Middle East based on the (Greater Israel) and to impose American hegemony on Arab nation, especially the East and the Gulf.
This evil project approved by Congress, is not new in its contents and its intentions, this Zionist/ American draft was ready for more than three decades ago to be implemented, or since Iraq became the power of reviving the Arab nation especially since its economical, social and military success.
Our party has warned of this evil project before the US-British invasion, when we said that the objective basis in the minds of the American tyrants is the destruction of Iraq and the division of Arab countries surrounding the Jewish entity since the adoption of the Zionist Brzezinski theory from weakening the Soviet Union by creating small entities converting this theory to the Arab countries, especially the eastern Arab countries and Egypt to keep (Israel) the dominant power in the region.
Iraq is one country in its people and history aged over more than five thousand years, and is not a subject of division only in the occupiers sick mind and their agents such as the so-called Supreme Council headed by the Persian (Abdul Aziz Hakim) and the collaborators Kurdish parties, those who created a constitution based on dividing Iraq.
Therefore, the armed resistance against the occupation and their agents is a historic national and Islamic duty, to defeat the Zionist American Iranian occupation, and this evil schemes against Iraq, and especially this project of dividing the nation into three entities.
It is a necessity for Arab national security to support the resistance because this project does not target Iraq, but the cancellation of the existence and identity of the Arab nation and its history.
Long live the brave resistance.
Long live the great people of Iraq.
Greetings of the martyr leader Saddam Hussein.
Long live the glorious Arab nation and Palestine.
Allahu Akbar .. Allahu Akbar .. Allahu Akbar ..
To correct this course, the Democratic president will say, we must reverse all his actions at the foundations. Why must American lives be sacrificed for a country that itself at its heart is disjointed. The Democrats will point to the Kurds as the epitome of a nation that has seceeded.
And that, unfortunately, is how the logic will go.
The US public is already being readied for partition. But not that partition will bother any of the US voters. As a matter of fact, they couldn’t care less.
Therefore, it has always struck us as odd that US media reports the plan for Iraq is faltering.
How could it falter if all the elements were put in place in 1990 to lead to the partition of the country?
The plan in Iraq IS working. Militarily it has been defeated. Politically it is an unbridled success.
The plan was, is and always will be to destroy Iraq. No elections. No democracy. Not even social order. Simply division. http://futureiraq.blogspot.com/2007/10/plan-for-iraq-is-was-partition.html

It is worth drawing attention to Salah Al-Mukhtar’s article on ‘THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE JIHAD AND LIBERATION DECLARATION’ : http://al-moharer.net/mohhtm/mukhtar262en.htm
For those not familiar with Salah Al-Mukhtar, he is a former Iraqi Ambassador to India and Vietnam, a leading Ba’athist thinker and an indefatigable Resistance activist, who was involved in the preparation of the Iraqi National Resistance prior to the invasion under the guidance of Martyr President Saddam Hussein.
Thank for the English link Alison, I read it in Arabic two weeks ago
On Jihad & Liberation and Allawi:
We’ve been doing some checking and it certainly looks like Allawi and al-Douri (& Baath) are working together these days:
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gFa5HSY2EdxHT25-60FFZT3XPbEQD8S247080 for Allawi himself boasting with such negotiations, the relevant part saying:
Ayad Allawi, Iraq’s first post-Saddam prime minister, has recently said he held talks with members of the Baath party loyal to al-Douri, for which he was severely criticized by Iraq’s current prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki.
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/IJ17Ak03.html for Escobar, always very naïve relates how “Iraqi Resistance” is gathering:
“comprising not only Sunnis but also Shi’ites”, to which he says, belong “the Sadrists, the (Shi’ite) Fadhila party, all Sunni parties, the partisans of former interim prime minister Iyad Allawi, and the partisans of former prime minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari (…) Iraqi national pact is in the making — coordinated by VicePresident Tariq al-Hashimi, a Sunni, and blessed by Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani himself (…) Ammar al-Hakim even went to Ramadi on Sunday to talk to Sheikh Ahmed Abu Risha, brother of the late Abdul Sattar Abu Risha, the former leader of the tribal coalition Anbar Awakening Council who was killed by a bomb last month. It was the first time since the invasion and occupation that a SIIC leader went to hardcore Sunni Anbar province. Ammar al-Hakim glowingly described the dead sheikh as “a national hero” (…) Ammar al-Hakim was flanked by none other than feared Hadi al-Amri, the leader of the Badr Brigades — the SIIC militia trained by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, that in fact comprises the bulk of death squads involved in the avalanche of sectarian killings (…) And there’s still more — the coordinated, “new Ba’ath” front: 22 resistance groups, under the command of former Saddam star Izaat al-Douri, already seriously talking with the Iyad Allawi bloc — thus part of the nationalist front — and dictating their conditions, which include a resistance ceasefire in exchange for a precise US timetable for withdrawal.
Never minding the mess Escobar — certainly badly informed is making — the point is that the plot appears to be exactly as we warned previously in the article IRAQ: Al-Qaida a.k.a. the “Islamic” Federation of Iraq (http://theunitedstatesofmonsters.blogspot.com/2007/10/iraq-al-qaida.html).
So, there you have it: exactly the same parties and personalities that always worked with the U.S., SCIRI (& Badr), Sadr (Mahdi Militia), Allawi, Jafari, Hashimi, and so on now working with the “genuine” and “legitimate” Baath party.
So its right back to the square zero when the so-called “political process” begun except that now the Baath c/o Jordan is providing HQ for the Sunni militia for the internal Sunni civil war against the Iraqi Armed Resistance.
We’ll confirm this soon, of course, but it is already looking
Great. Just Great.
To NDHF: I have given up trying to get through to you. If you don’t want to email Salah Al-Mukhtar, whose credentials as a Resistance activist are UNIMPEACHABLE, why not address your questions to the editors of Al-Moharer.net and Albasrah.net?
Otherwise, please avoid writing about matters of which you are totally ignorant.
For the authors of a supposedly pro-resistance blog to persist in spreading disformation about the Arab Ba’ath Socialist Party (Iraq Leadership), which spearheaded and nurtured the Iraqi National Resistance under the guidance of Martyr President Saddam Hussein, is totally unacceptable.
In doing so, you have not only crossed a RED LINE. In your gullibility and obduracy, you have also fallen into a TRAP set by the occupiers and their agents to SOW MISTRUST between Resistance factions that ought to be working together. You are also making fools of yourselves.
Our analysis is now nearly complete. We need only some editorial advice from Iraq so to okay its publication so that you can expect us to come out with the full-weight delivery somewhere next week should we get an authorization for its publication. Till then, ta ta..
Newsdesk Helsinki Finland,
You are neither an Iraqi Resistance supporter nor a honest journalist.
I’d bet anything that you are a member of the notorious counter-insurgency Propaganda front called Al-Fajr Media Center.
They have a reputation for fooling around pro-Iraqi websites and blogs and sowing the seeds of doubt about the legitimate leadership of the Resistance (BA’ATH) just the way you do.
Alison bravo. You are on the ball unlike our dear friend at the “news desk”. Al Duri working with allawi???? hahahahaha My ass he is. Al Duri has the same priniciples as the martyr Saddam Hussein, which means he will NEVER work with the traitors who raped, pillaged and murdered his country. Newsdesk, i think you have either been had or you are trying to stir the pot, so to speak.
The ugly smear campaign against the Jihad & Liberation Front originating in the renegade wing of the Ba’ath Party (led by M. Younis Al-Ahmed), in which the self-proclaimed AMSI partisans at NDHF gleefully participated, has made me very wary. Surely all groups genuinely opposed to the occupation of Iraq ought to be working together, not smearing each other?
For the benefit of those who are interested in the truth and who care about the liberation of Iraq, here is a link to an article based on recent interviews with Abu Mohammed, the political spokesman of Izzat Ibrahim Al-Douri, the Secretary General of the Arab Ba’ath Socialist Party (Iraq Branch), who also heads the Supreme Command of the Jihad & Liberation Front: http://www.workers.org/2007/world/iraq-1025/
@ Alison, on “self-proclaimed AMSI partisans at NDHF”
We never disclose any of our email to any outside party, but in response to this uninformed propaganda here are some selected quotes from our correspondence with Jaama’at e-Ulema e-Islami (chosen so that noting more than their evaluation of the NEWSDESK HELSINKI FINLAND efforts are revealed, bold added by us):
1. AMSI on 18.9.2007:
Alaikumus salam
Peace be upon you and your team.
First of all, we want to send our inconveince for not sending earlier responses to you.
Indeed before evaluating your e-mail we want to point out one important issue that is receiving one of your e-mail has a great value for us to know such persons having honor and carrying the real meaning to being a human being.
[… A disclosed passage deleted…]
Before concluding our e-mail we send our best and warm good wishes to you and your team that is doing the best struggle on the cyber world!
Take care

Alaikumus salam
Dear Louhi,
How nice to hear you again. It is interesting to try to define some words like love, passion and so on. The word of love is the greatest emotion given by Allah (God) to the humanity. As our basic belief we –muslims– name muslims as brothers in religion and other people as brothers in human being. These categorization is of course based on the divine thought…
We love you — and others — for your attitude as well as your admirable efforts at the stage of this history so as making and writing the history against monsters and oppressors.
The Assocation of Muslim Scholars in Iraq (AMSI), its administrative boards, members, councils, departments and of course whole Iraqi nation (Muslim Ummah too) admire your great efforts, works which can be evaluated “the great works that approach a human to the love of Allah and Paradise”. Because we believe that a person have to prevent eppression with his hand, his mouth, his tongue or a distress of not accepting it according to Holy Prophet’s saying. You are exactly doing this honorable job that is hard to present our appreciate words written at the dictionaries.
We pray you to be with us in this world and hereafter insaallah.
Best regards…
AMSI (Press Department), Xxxxx Yyyyyyyy

Then some other related points:
§1. Why do you think it is coincidence that with this sort of dear friends just in a couple of days
(a) our email box is hijacked http://theunitedstatesofmonsters.blogspot.com/2007/10/off-topic-on-nfdh-email-box-these-days.html
(b) our picture posting capabilities cut off http://theunitedstatesofmonsters.blogspot.com/2007/10/newsdesk-helsinki-finland-iraqi.html
© our IP address blocked so that we could not reaching “Iraq news” and repost them
http://theunitedstatesofmonsters.blogspot.com/2007/10/google-search-for-iraq-news-disappears.html
We do not think so, because as a matter of fact we are proud to say, that we belong to the FINNISH RESISTANCE now fully and openly siding with the ARMED IRAQI RESISTANCE, especially as represented by the Jihad and Reform Front, the Jihad and Change Front, the Shi’ite Resistance in the Southern Iraq and its political arm and healing hands, the Jama’at e-Ulema e-Islami, the ASSOCIATION of MUSLIM SCHOLARS in IRAQ.
§2. What comes to your comment “Surely all groups genuinely opposed to the occupation of Iraq ought to be working together, not smearing each other?” we would most whole-heartedly agree, but the difference lies exactly in the question of who exactly is genuinely opposed to the occupation: From what we have observed, the Baath “resistance” did nothing but put forth a “front” they didn’t even dare to call a front and went right after to negotiate with the U.S. demanding a NUTTY “condition” of the U.S. official announcement of withdrawal, as if any announcement of the U.S. enemy occupier was worth anything these days. (Our report concerning this, as well as the part of the Baath party in the most recent U.S. plottings is now complete, but we’ll hold it back for some time on, seeing that our Mujahideen brothers are in no hurry with coming out with this either)
With friends like you, AMSI certainly doesn’t need enemies!!
However, as far as evil-minded MOLES go, you’re a bit clumsy and amateurish. You’ve made yourselves a real laughing stock on this blog! Looks like the CIA ought to cancel your paycheck.
Here’s a suggestion: As you’re struggling to get your twisted message across in English, why not post any future comments in Finnish? I’m sure no one would object. Better still: Get lost!!
@ Alison: Finding out about that is very easy: here’s their contact address so that you can confirm that yourself:

UPDATE: On the Relations of NDHF and AMSI
Just an hour ago we received an email from the AMSI Press Department, consisting of two parts, a complain concerning our services and the AMSI Press Department to that which we reproduce here so to sort this issue out in a proper way:
§1. The Complaint:
I would like to alert you to the fact that Newsdesk Helsinki Finland (NDHF), based at http://theunitedstatesofmonsters.blogspot.com/ is bringing AMSI’s name into disrepute. NDFH editors, who claim to be AMSI’s Finnish representatives, have started spreading malicious disinformation about other Resistance factions in comments posted on various pro-resistance blogs. Would you please confirm as soon as possible that NDHF is not authorised to speak for AMSI?
§2. The AMSI Press Department response:
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thanks a lot for your kind e-mail about developments.
Please note that we have no representatives in Finland or other European Country. If so it would be publish at our web page like others in the world.
On part of NDHF we are neither responsible of their policy nor have an official ties. They are a group who are trying to give reliable and hidden news about Iraq. Thefore they are mostly taking news from AMSI which is important base for them.
The issue of malicious disinformation about factions and others is not known for us. We have not heard it before. Please also send your fears and comments to NDHF team including your suggest and information. Because they are trying to spread trusted news which would be helpful to the Iraqis. Their great efforts are to be appreciated in many ways as far as we know.
We hope that as soon as they get any news, information, complaint from you or any other person about their web page, they will contact to you and start to improve, develop and correct their site according to the inspectations, research and etc.
We are looking forward to receive your e-mail about developments.
Sincerely
AMSI Press Department
Note: Please send your other detail information to be in contact with you. Thanks
——-
§3. NDHF eds: What comes to the complaining email, DO NOTE THAT WE NOWHERE CLAIM TO BE REPRESENTATIVES OF AMSI. WHICH WE ARE NOT (otherwise we’d indicate our membership in the very name and outlook of our blog, of course).
Instead we claim (a direct quote from above with bold added):
(a) we belong to the FINNISH RESISTANCE
(b) now fully and openly siding with the ARMED IRAQI RESISTANCE, especially as represented by the Jihad and Reform Front, the Jihad and Change Front, the Shi’ite Resistance in the Southern Iraq and its political arm and healing hands, the Jama’at e-Ulema e-Islami, the ASSOCIATION of MUSLIM SCHOLARS in IRAQ.
Thank you,
Ed. Louhi on the behalf of the NEWSDESK HELSINKI FINLAND
On Baath negotiations: the hard core of the baathists’ negotiations with the U.S. sketched in this reposting of an AMSI article recently translated into English:
http://theunitedstatesofmonsters.blogspot.com/2007/10/who-is-occupying-iraq-samir-obaid.html
Should you know anything more, the comment section is open and always uncensored (we’ll keep holding back our Baath report as long as the fate of the negotiation issue is open and the Mujahideen have verified their position, but keep eye on this ;)
So NDHF editors aren’t moles after all, just ignorant, wrongheaded and overzealous partisans of AMSI. The latter has apparently not been monitoring NDHF editors’ (malicious) activities closely enough, as it seems to be oblivious of the damage they are doing to both to its own reputation and – indirectly – to the Resistance as a whole.
If NDHF editors had contented themselves with providing information about AMSI and the armed factions affiliated with it, their efforts would be PRAISEWORTHY. However, by setting themselves up as an authority on the Iraqi Resistance as a whole, about which they know very little, and by impugning the Arab Ba’ath Socialist Party (Iraq Leadership) and the Jihad and Liberation Front, about which they know nothing, they have become a MENACE. In doing so, they are also failing to meet minimum journalistic and ethical standards. They have also failed to respond to complaints and criticism in the manner that AMSI clearly expects of them.
I therefore call on other readers of this blog to email their complaints about NDHF editors to AMSI Press Department (press@heyetnet.org) highlighting the potentially very damaging repercussions of their irresponsible and ill-informed, not to say downright malicious, reporting / comments.
It would also be worth enquiring of AMSI where it stands with regard to the CONSPIRACY led by ex-Ba’athist usurper Mohammed Younis Al_Ahmed, and how it is responding to the urgent appeal for unity and solidarity between ALL Iraqi Resistance factions, nationalist and Islamist, issued by the Arab Ba’ath Socialist Party (Iraq Leadership, i.e Al-Douri and colleagues) in the following statement dated 28 September 2007: http://www.al-moharer.net/qiwa_shabiya/baath28-9-07e.htm
I quote: “With the US congress’ insisting to divide Iraq, there is no more room today for discussion or debate, the decisive hour has come and every one should choose his real trench…What is requested from all the Iraqi Resistance factions and all the Iraqi patriotic forces should be the following:
1– The immediate unity of all the Resistance factions. The non existence of the unity of all the Iraqi Resistance factions and the relying on ideological understanding, is a dangerous lacuna which might divide the Resistance instead of unifying it.
Our Party warns from the dangers of some known Islamic currents which consider many of the fundamental combating factions in the Iraqi Resistance and in the Iraqi patriotic forces, as infidels or Takfiris and fight them either by arms or through Takfiri Fatwas.. This is the most dangerous situation, facing Iraq’ liberation. THE US EXPLOITED THIS BREACH IN AL ANBAR TO STRIKE ALL THE RESISTANCE FACTIONS UNDER THE PRETEXT OF FIGHTING AL QAEDA.
In the past, every one including those who spread the Islamic faith, used to strike deals with the non Muslims to accelerate victory.. In modern times, peoples didn’t get rid of colonialism unless through a global alliance which included all the anti colonialists forces..be [they] clerics or atheists as it happened in Vietnam.. So will those who use now infidelity and faith as a criteria to divide the Resistance and the Iraqi patriotic movement, ever comprehend that this is exactly what serves the Occupation and helps it stay instead of forcing it to withdraw..? Our Party, therefore, sincerely calls upon all the combating organizations to let aside their division and to hold on to a real unity of all the combatants and transform the groups newly formed into a global combating unity which includes all the factions without exception. This is the most important request to achieve victory, foil and wreck the US Occupation and Iran’ tactics to divide the Resistance.
2– Get rid of any ideological rows in between the Resistance factions for the time being.. for any disagreement now, can turn into a real ill feeling (fitna)! That is why all should avoid mutual suspicion or criticizing each other
3– The Iraqi patriotic forces which back the Resistance should unite too in a global Front which includes every body. Indeed! Any delay is a sign of lack of awareness on what is going on in Iraq and on how to confront dangers….
bARABie, I repeat my urgent call (see above) to you and other readers of this blog to email their complaints about NDHF editors to AMSI Press Office (press@heyetnet.org).
Given that AMSI seems to regard these vile creatures as its friends (see above), it urgently needs to clarifiy its own position with regard to the ongoing CONSPIRACY against the Ba’ath-led Jihad and Liberation Front (and the Iraqi National Resistance as a whole) involving ex-Ba’athist usurper Mohammed Younis Al-Ahmed, CIA agent Ayad Allawi and — as always — the Iraqi Islamic Party.
@ ALL: What comes to the comments of Alison, urging all to bother AMSI (and the Ulema) with nutty emails concerning NDHF coverage, we’d like to point you out that this is not what AMSI recommends.
They write:
“On part of NDHF we are neither responsible of their policy nor have an official ties. They are a group who are trying to give reliable and hidden news about Iraq. Thefore they are mostly taking news from AMSI which is important base for them.”
“The issue of malicious disinformation about factions and others is not known for us. We have not heard it before. Please also send your fears and comments to NDHF team including your suggest and information. Because they are trying to spread trusted news which would be helpful to the Iraqis. Their great efforts are to be appreciated in many ways as far as we know.”
What comes to this, we perfectly agree: if you have any complaints, you should pass them directly us, not bothering AMSI, working day and night against the occupier.
Louhi, the NDHF “spokeseditor”
@ LadyBird: thanx for your splendid work + allowing us to discuss here: your site is the best chat existing: the comments appearing in the right corner allows a fully transparent discussion, which we appreciate very much. We only wished that there were more than 5 latest comments displayed to make sure that we won’t miss any. Could you ask your Webmaster to arrange that, adding the number to say 15 is easy and certainly for good (this won’t make the site any slower ;)
