\u00a0A Time To Betray<\/a>, a website run by a former CIA agent who infiltrated the Revolutionary Guard in Iran, posted a story yesterday about the visit to the White House by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. The article can also be found in yesterday’s Washington Times<\/a>. Mr. al-Maliki, an Iraqi Shiite, included Hadi Farhan al-Amiri<\/a>, transportation minister in Mr. al-Maliki’s Iraqi government.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

\u00a0Louis J. Freeh<\/a>, who served as\u00a0FBI<\/a> director in the\u00a0Clinton administration<\/a>and the early months of the\u00a0George W. Bush administration<\/a>, said it was shocking that\u00a0Mr. al-Maliki<\/a> would include\u00a0Mr. al-Amiri<\/a> in his visit to Washington.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iran<\/a>\u2019s Revolutionary Guard has been involved in \u201ccountless acts of terrorism, which are acts of war against the United States,\u201d\u00a0Mr. Freeh<\/a>said in an interview.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. al-Amiri<\/a> served as a commander of the\u00a0Revolutionary Guard\u2019s Badr Corps<\/a>, a battalion that was tasked with operations in\u00a0Iraq<\/a>. He remained active in the\u00a0Badr Corps<\/a> during the late 1980s and 1990s, when he was working on resistance efforts against\u00a0Saddam Hussein<\/a>\u2019s regime in\u00a0Iraq<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the rest of the information in the article is also not encouraging. While Mr. al-Maliki was visiting the White House, there was a group of protesters outside protesting in support of the Iranian exiles in Camp Ashraf, located about 49 miles north of Baghdad.<\/p>\n

The article further reports:<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Iraqi government<\/a> has set a Dec. 31 deadline to close the camp, which houses members of the\u00a0Mojahedin-e Khalq<\/a> (MEK), listed by the U.S. as a terrorist group. The exiles\u2019 supporters fear the camp\u2019s unarmed residents will be massacred because of their opposition to Iran\u2019s government.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Current and former members of Congress, former officials who served in Republican and Democratic administrations, a former Iraqi official and a former senior commanding officer at\u00a0Camp Ashraf<\/a> spoke at the protest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe did not fight and die \u2026 for you to deliver the integrity of\u00a0Iraq<\/a> to the mullahs in\u00a0Iran<\/a>,\u201d said former Sen. Robert G. Torricelli, New Jersey Democrat, in remarks directed at\u00a0Mr. al-Maliki<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My concern here is that Iraq will degenerate into a situation similar to the killing fields of Cambodia after America left Vietnam. America is leaving Iraq before the government can stand on its own. Despite statements from the President, Iraq will now become a satellite state of Iran, as have most of the other countries in the region. I believe we could have prevented this had President Obama taken the time to complete the job President Bush had nearly finished when he left office. It is unfortunate the President Obama values the support of his political base more than he values the safety of the Iraqi people and the people in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
