Study – The position from the Ba’ath, Maliki to invite the Saudi King

- This is urgent: An Iraqi jour­nal­ist asked the Qatari For­eign Min­is­ter and the Arab League’s Secretary-General in their press conference:

Where is the peace in Iraq Mr. Maliki talked about in his speech? Today we heard that mil­i­tary air­planes bombed Al-Ghazaliya neigh­bor­hood, yes­ter­day the army fought against a mili­tia in the Al-Fadhil neighborhood.

The Qatari For­eign Min­is­ter refused to answer say­ing: This ques­tion should be asked to the Iraqi Inte­rior Minister.

- A very strange and prim­i­tive study called “The posi­tion from the Ba’ath [Party] and the Ba’athists” pub­lished on the front page of the Min­istry of the National Rec­on­cil­i­a­tion [and AL-Sabah news­pa­per]. The same words and descrip­tions as usual but the con­clu­sion is:

Of course, there are Ba’athists who had adopted the Ba’ath Party ide­ol­ogy and fought against colo­nial­ism. But also fought against the dic­ta­tor­ship of Sad­dam and have paid a heavy price because of that strug­gle.. They should be given a fair oppor­tu­nity to high­light the other side of the Baath Party …

The above report lead us to the sec­ond, which is reported by Iraqi Al-Hurriya newspaper:

Although Maliki’s team tried to find con­vinc­ing rea­sons for the sep­a­ra­tion between the con­sti­tu­tion­ally banned Ba’ath Party, and the ele­ments that have not com­mit­ted crimes against Iraqi peo­ple, but pres­sure from the Supreme Coun­cil led by Abdel Aziz al-Hakim, forced Maliki to with­draw his initiative.

- IPA-Iraq says that Maliki will invite the Saudi King Abdul­lah to visit Iraq, or Maliki him­self to visit Saudi Ara­bia soon [I am glued watch­ing Aljazeera, noth­ing like this reported].
