Interesting look at the new Mayor of Bagdhad, a former chief nuclear scientist for Saddam Hussein and now a guy who thinks the Americans should be living in camps outside the city instead of taking up 10% of the center of town and snarling traffic with blocked roads.
“I don’t want Americans in the Green Zone, or outside the Green Zone. I want them outside Baghdad in their camps”
He's thankful for the downfall of Saddam but not so thankful for the situation afterwards.
“We were living under darkness, and then there is a light—and then? The situation we are living now is the result of many mistakes.”
And he says Saddam would have had a nuclear bomb by now if he hadn't invaded Kuwait and says Saddam would have resumed his WMD campaign the minute sanctions had been lifted.
An example of how the USA has reversed course on its purge of former Saddam loyalists and is now incorporating them into the new Iraq:
