'US to surrender Iraq to extremists'

An Iraqi parliamentarian warns of alleged US plans to surrender the country to extremists, urging resistance on the part of Baghdad.

That's great considering that Saddam's government was secular. Remember Iran wanted him dead because he resisted the Islamic Revolution.

Looks like that country will be a Theocracy now. So much for bringing 'democracy' to Iraq.

Maybe the USA will hand back Afghanistan to the Taliban too. At least the Taliban kept opium production down.

No agenda going on there.

I know what you mean.
I took the info from them on purpose because is always interesting to read what is been said in other countries instead of CNN or FOX (no agenda or government control going on there)

Actually the reverse is true. Hypocritically, the Taliban encouraged opium production as it was an important source of funds for their activities. They even went so far as providing a spiritual sanction for Muslims to grow and refine it for use as a narcotic.
