Kesher Talk

INC looking for promised handouts: "Leaders of the Iraqi National Congress are making the rounds in Washington, try to get their hands on what they believe is $97 million in financial support they believed the U.S. government promised them during the Clinton years. They want the United States to allow them to pursue lethal action inside Iraq's borders in an effort to kick off a popular uprising against Saddam Hussein, believing the army will no longer support him. In exchange, the promise to hold some type of referendum once they take control to allow the Iraqi people to decide what kind of federalist, democratic system of government they want installed in Baghdad."
