Power conflict, not a coup

Posted on December 21, 2008 by Sappho

release of the coup-plotters, news came that they are still in custody.

DPA quoted [via Al-Quds] an anony­mous source today say­ing that the inves­ti­ga­tion judge ordered their release because of lack of evi­dence but the arrested are still impris­oned [accord­ing to Al-Malaf Press Min­is­ter of the National Secu­rity AL-Wa’li who is con­nected to the Iran­ian intel­li­gence is the man behind the coup fab­ri­ca­tions].

Okaz.

The news­pa­per says that the rea­son behind the recent arrests are con­flict­ing polit­i­cal agen­das among these polit­i­cal blocs. From the groups func­tion under the Min­istry of Defense oth­ers for the Inte­rior Min­istry, also groups under the Intel­li­gence Ser­vice or those work for the Prime Minister’s Office, and lets not for­get mili­tias works for polit­i­cal blocs and those who are con­nected to the Amer­i­can forces and the CIA. Each one of these appa­ra­tus is in con­flict with the others.

Okaz’s reported warns of the following:

The most dan­ger­ous part of play­ing the “coup-game” is: It reflects the fragility of the polit­i­cal process, and the readi­ness of some polit­i­cal blocs to play such a game to achieve power.

    Ladysweetie,
    Gate­way Pun­dit: http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/12/shoe-chuckers-family-ap-completely-lied.html and the Iran­ian Fars News Agency are claim­ing Muntader al-Zaidi loves Iran:

    On Sat­ur­day, Uday, al-Zaidi’s other brother, spoke to FNA and rejected the report by the Asso­ci­ated Press.

    Uday claimed none of his fam­ily mem­bers had made any anti-Iran comments.

    “AP has com­pletely lied in its report. None of our fam­ily mem­bers has made any com­ments about my brother’s opin­ion on Iran… Muntader is a Shi­ite who is fond of Iran,” Uday said.

    Gate­way Pun­dit adds: Al-Zaidi’s fam­ily comes from Sadr City.
    It was pre­vi­ously reported that Muntader sup­ported rad­i­cal Shi­ite cleric Muq­tada al-Sadr but this was mostly ignored by the main­stream media.

    So, what’s the story? I see Layla claimed he was a left­ist,
    but now Fars and Gate­way seem to be mak­ing him out to be a Sadrist…

    Sim­ple, he is a hero in the Third World and every­body wants to adopt him.

    Turkey, Lebanon and Egypt each coun­try claim that he is bought his shoe from one the three countries.
