Big Baby Iyad `Allawi (former puppet prime mininister/car bomber/former Saddam's henchman/embezzler-in-Yemen). `Allawi, almost in tears, was complaining today about those who are tearing down his posters. So is he popular in Iraq? Let's see the LAT on that: "Other posters show him shaking hands with President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair. The caption: "Collaborator." The dual if contradictory messages have had an effect on some voters."The Americans are trying to collect people around him," said Salah Mohammed, a Baghdad cabdriver. "Allawi is like Saddam. He was one of his aides, and he killed a lot during Saddam's time..."Among many Shiites, he is tarnished by his membership in Hussein's Baath Party during the 1970s, before he went into exile. Among Sunnis, said White, "he's still Shiite. To top it all off, he's an exile who received CIA funding.""
