The other day, I watched an hour of an itnerview with US ambassador in Iraq on AlArabiyya TV. He spoke extensively about Iranian intervention in Iraqi affairs. In the same interview, he spoke about "the attributes" that he "likes to see" in the new Iraqi prime minister. He also admitted that he applies "intimate pressures" on Iraqi leaders. The `Allawi propagandist (Elie Naquzi) who conducted the interview, could not see an irony even if it hits him on his face.
