Very Difficult To Win With Enemies Within




President Bush has enough trouble keeping up the "good fight" in Iraq while fighting the "retreat at all cost" Democrats and a left wing Media printing only negative reports about the war.
He certainly does not need a fifth column at the seat of power in the new Iraqi government. It would seem, however,if you can believe the reports coming out of the "Middle East Research Institute" that he has a real problem with the Prime Minister of the new Iraqi government.
Those who don't spend all of their news gathering time watching network Tv or reading the Washington Post or New York Times know that Syria and Iran have a stake in this fight. Both countries have been coduits for weapons to the terrorists trying to drive Our servicemen and women out.
Now the following was uploaded to the internet this morning. When you read it realize the dilema we and the President have if it is true. The Left wing Congress will dance in the streets and raise a cold one.
Al-Maliki Calls to Withdraw Iranian Revolutionary Guards Commanders from the Iraqi Front in Order to Protect Them
The first document, labeled "secret, personal, and urgent," is a January 2007 letter from Al-Maliki's office to the Iranian Embassy in Baghdad, with copies to the presidency of the [Shi'ite party] Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq and to the Al-Shahid Al-Sadr organization." [2] In it, Al-Maliki requests that the commanders of the Mahdi Army, who have ties with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, be pulled off the Iraqi frontlines, in order to protect them from being arrested or killed. The following is a translation of the document:

"Secret, Personal and Urgent


"Based on a phone conversation with Sayyid Muqtada Al-Sadr and [after] consulting with [Iraq's National Security Advisor] Dr. Muwafaq Al-Rubai'i, in order to preserve our great achievements and in light of what the present circumstances demand, we ask to temporarily conceal the commanders of the Mahdi Army, who are connected to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, [and to remove them] from the front line [of battle] in order to protect them from being arrested or killed by the American forces. [The names of the commanders] are listed below. It would be best to send them to Iran for the time being, until the crisis passes.

"In addition, [we ask] to send the commanders from the second line [of battle] to the southern regions, since we know that intensive efforts are underway to persuade the Americans to leave the situation [there] as it is. All administrative and security arrangements for the transportation of these commanders have [already] been made.

"We ask you to implement [these orders] and report to us.

"[Signed,] Nouri Al-Maliki, Prime Minster [of Iraq]

"The Iranian Embassy [in] Baghdad,

"The presidency of the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution
in Iraq,
"Huston we have a Problem", comes to mind!
