Iraq’s Talabani facing civil war?
Iraqi President is in a difficult situation. He fought all his life against Saddam’s oppression. Today Sunnis are fighting him and his Government suspecting him of oppressing the Sunnis in Iraq. Talabani also has other problems. His own Kurd militia and Shiite militia is not ready to spare the Sunnis who oppressed them under Saddam for years.
Iraq's Kurdish President Jalal Talabani on June 8 defended a Shiite militia that Sunni leaders accuse of involvement in killing Sunnis. Talabani lauded the efforts of the Badr Brigade -- the armed wing of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) -- and Kurdish peshmerga fighters for their role in ousting the Hussein regime. He also denounced those Sunnis who referred to the Shiite and Kurdish forces as militias. A spokesman for the Association of Muslim Scholars reacted to Talabani's remarks by accusing him of towing the U.S. line and saying the Badr Brigade is providing intelligence to the government, which has been used in arrests and raids by feared security forces.
