“Your Mortars Preceded Your Visit”
Protests continued into today…
On Monday, thousands of protesters in Baghdad protested Ahmadinejad’s visit to Iraq, a day after demonstrations in various cities across Iraq.
“Your mortars preceded your visit,” one placard read. In Baghdad’s neighborhood of Adhamiyah protestors carried a banner reading: “Adhamiyah residents condemn the visit by Ahmadinejad to the Baghdad of al-Rashid,” Associated Press reported.
On Sunday hundreds in Fallujah protested Ahmadinejad’s visit to Iraq. The demonstration which passed through various streets in Fallujah was staged by political parties, organizations and unions in the city.
“The demonstration is a message by the Iraqi people to denounce the Iranian regime’s role in backing up the militias that killed hundreds of the Iraqi people,” Sabah al-Alwani, a politician taking part in the demonstration in Fallujah, told an Iraqi radio station.
In a gathering in northern city of Kirkuk, Iraqis hammered a banner onto the wall reading in Arabic “We denounce Iran’s intervention in Iraqi affairs,” AFP reported on Sunday.
In last few days hundreds of demonstrators marched the streets of Baqouba, 35 miles northeast of the capital, chanting anti-Ahmadinejad slogans. They burned his pictures and many held banners including one that read: “We condemn visit of terrorist and butcher Ahmadinejad to Iraq,” Associated Press reported on Saturday.
Ahmadinejad’s visit to Iraq has prompted widespread protests by Iraqi political personalities and parties critical of Iranian regime’s meddling in Iraq.

[[BAGHDAD (AFP) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad poked his finger in the eye of Uncle Sam on his visit to Iraq on Sunday, displaying his country’s regional influence in the face of 158,000 US soldiers in Iraq.
Top officials from the US-supported Iraqi government welcomed Ahmadinejad with hugs and kisses on a trip that opens a new phase between former enemies which fought a bitter war in the 1980s.
The televised lovefest was enough to give supporters of US President George W. Bush a seizure.
In 2002, Bush famously described Iraq — then under Saddam Hussein — Iran and North Korea as the axis of evil. One year later, US-led forces stormed Iraq and toppled Saddam.
Nearly five years, billions of dollars and 3,972 US dead later, American soldiers are holed up in fortified bases while the Islamic republic’s leader is welcomed with flowers in Baghdad.]]

March 3rd, 2008 at 5:20 pmJust got on the NCRI website to see what it’s alll about.
National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), a broad coalition of democratic Iranian organizations, groups and personalities, was founded in 1981 in Tehran upon the initiative of Massoud Rajavi, the Leader of the Iranian Resistance. The NCRI has over 500 members, including representatives of ethnic and religious minorities such as the Kurds, Baluchis, Armenians, Jews and Zoroastrians, representing a broad spectrum of political tendencies in Iran. Acting as parliament in exile, the NCRI aims to establish a democratic, secular and coalition government in Iran. Women comprise 50% …”
My first thought: Wow, only 500.
March 3rd, 2008 at 11:36 pmMy second thought: These people can actually be neutralized for the sake of this membership–that’s 500 very brave people!
