| | Iraqi Interim Government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Iraqi Interim Government was created by the United States and its coalition allies as a caretaker government to govern Iraq until the Iraqi Transitional Government was installed following the Iraqi National Assembly election conducted on January 30th, 2005. | | | It was recognized by the U.S., the United Nations, the Arab League and several other countries as being the sovereign government of Iraq (see Iraqi sovereignty for more information). | | | In early July, Allawi issued an unprecedented statement claiming that the Iraqi interim government had provided intelligence for the U.S. air strikers with 500 and 1000 pound (220 and 450 kg) bombs on Fallujah in July. |

| | He admitted that his government was involved in suppressing the Iraqi uprising against Saddam in 1991 and told that the USA did the same thing. | | | SF statement clearly indicated his government involvement in suppressing the Iraqi uprising in 1991 which was then brutally crushed by Saddam's systems. | | | The Iraqi Islamic party represents large number of the Sunni Arabs in Iraq and this will push large number to join the political process. |

| | Samarra, for an example, which is now a flashpoint for Iraqi guerillas, fell out of favor with Saddam's regime and was a rival of his nearby hometown of Tikrit. | | | There have also been allegations of attacks on water pipelines and the electrical grid by the Iraqi insurgents, although there is controversy as to whether the incidents in question did indeed represent intended sabotage. | | | Beyond the expulsion of U.S troops from Iraq, there is no coherent political goal being pursued by the Iraqi guerillas fighting under the banner of nationalism. |

| | Iraqis have been joking among themselves lately about GC members, and how only a handful of them are actually in Iraq, while the rest are back in their London apartments or too busy following their own personal agendas and making deals with huge corporations on the expense of Iraqis. | | | His books were banned for years because he had dared to criticize the consecutive Iraqi governments and had thoroughly analyzed the ambidextrous nature of the Iraqi society, his treatises were a shock to both Islamists and top gov. officials during his sixty years of writing, and he was repeatedly threatened with murder. | | | Aziz Al-Yassiri of the Iraqi Democratic Congregation said that the demonstrations will convey a message from Iraqis to the whole world explaining that the Iraqi people regardless of religious, sectarian, tribal, and political differences are unanimously against terrorism, specifically terrorist acts that will serve to obstruct the rebuilding of Iraq and its transition to democracy. |

| | Hindawi said he sensed that the disparate Iraqi ethnic, religious and political groups are happy to have the intellectuals supervise the referendum. | | | However, Iraqi MP Jawad Al-Maliki the 2nd man in Jafari’s Dawa party said that news has leaked telling that Mousa put paying Saddam Hussein a visit in his jail on the schedule of his visit to Iraq. | | | The groups will be assisted by civil society organizations whose members advocate the establishment of a secular, multi-party and democratic system of government. |

| | IRAQ THE MODEL |
| | This may give the impression that Iraqis are apathetic to what’s happening in their country, which could be true for some of them as a result of decades of oppression and hopelessness, but when one remembers that Iraqis did demonstrate a lot in the last year, such presumptions indeed seems to fit only a minority. | | | We (Iraqis and coalition) learned from our experiences in the past months that the road towards a free, prosperous and stable Iraq, in which the sovereignty hand-over in June 30 is the key step, will not be an easy one to go through. | | | This was what I heard from most Arabs describing the IP, the new Iraqi army, the GC, the ministers and most of the government employees. |

| | Secular Iraqis have not yet recovered from their shock when a spokesman for Grand Ayatollah Sistani (the highest religious authority in the country) stated that the United Iraqi Coalition's list, which is comprised of major Shi'ite Islamic parties, has the "blessings and the support of his eminence". | | | Invitations should be open to all Iraqi political and social groups, regardless of their repsective ideologies and their current stand from the occupation and the ongoing political process in the country. | | | Many Iraqis, including conservative and religious Iraqis, are surprisingly rooting for the Iraqi Communist party, probably in an attempt to counter the influence of Islamists in the forthcoming National Assembly. |

| | Iraq |
| | Iraqis began protesting almost immediately against the delay in self-rule and the absence of a timetable to end the U.S. occupation. | | | Iraq became a charter member of the Arab League in 1945, and Iraqi troops took part in the Arab invasion of Palestine in 1948. | | | The U.S. and Iraqi governments agreed that no firm timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops should be set, maintaining that this would simply encourage the insurgency. |

| | Numerous groups are attempting to hinder what the interim Iraqi government is on the verge of achieving, and occasionally they spread outrageous accusations hoping they will be believed and thus harm the honourable reputation of those who sacrifice so much to protect this glorious country and its now free and respectable people. | | | Before the shootings, the 58-year-old Prime Minister is said to have told the policemen they must have courage in their work and that he would shield them from any repercussions if they killed insurgents in the course of their duty. | | | That would place their burial near the notorious prison, which was used by Saddam Hussein's security forces to torture and kill thousands of Iraqis. |

| | Once Iraqis tasted this freedom the majority of them used it to back up their religious figures that were similarly oppressed at Saddam's hands and thus the religious parties won easily. | | | Iraqis in general do not want to fight each other of course, but the interference of Iraq's neighbors who would support fanatics in each sect might well result in that if Iraq is left alone now or soon. | | | This is the change I was hoping to see, the change of heart s and minds against all sorts of fanaticism which without it all efforts whether by the government or America, with all the sacrifices of Iraqis and their bravery in standing against foreign terrorism, remains useless. |

| | But at the end they were all minority and no body should believe that Iraqis….all Iraqis don’t have a fair chance in new Iraq and those who didn’t take that chance till now they are not late they can tack their chance now or keep silent for ever. | | | With all those gathered facts above I can recall my hope and faith with the capability of the Iraqi government for enforcing law and order all over Iraq and it’s a matter of time, cooperation and being responsible towards Iraq. | | | I have lost the comments I got at that time because of switching to another comment software, but the visitors criticized my point of view of BEDU and took it as a racial opinion against other follow Iraqis, and I had to think twice before writing such thoughts since that article. |

| | De-assembling the joke called the Iraqi “government” would be in the best of Iraq and Iraqis, and holding new general elections without occupation forces going around the streets is the best scenario Iraq can reach to for the time being. | | | If we believe in democracy and the right of people to rule themselves, and if we believed in the Iraqi people and their right to rebuild their country after the cruel decades of destruction because of internal and external reasons, we shouldn’t support another day of the illegal occupation. | | | The war-supporters should believe in Iraq and Iraqis, and believe in the right of people to rule themselves. |

| | Thousands of Iraqis - and a few non-Iraqis living in Iraq - were tortured and executed by Saddam's mukhabarat police. | | | Zawahiri states that for al-Qaeda in Iraq to rule their Iraqi caliphate without the popular support of the people ("minimum support", really) would be contrary to Shura. | | | I was scanning through few of the hundreds or perhaps thousands of Iraqi blogs and I couldn’t believe the amazing skills that some of those young Iraqi writers have and how intelligent and daring are the opinions they are posting out there... |

| | Which means two months from the end of August for everyone in Iraq, and every Iraqi out of Iraq, to read it and discuss before the referendum. | | | Would just like to point out that the idea is a kind of independent initiative and does not represent all bloggers let alone all Iraqi bloggers, only those who wish to be arrested in solidarity with others who already have been are campaigning for arrest. | | | At the moment the constitution just seems to cover Iraqis in Iraq, but there are lots of others in Iraq as well. |
