Jump To Comment: 1 2The IFC criticism of the Iraqi Resistance as, merely 'Political Islam' and "reactionary and criminal in nature" says a lot about what side they are on. Once again, the Communists are eye-to-eye with the Imperialists. Both the US and the IFC refer to the armed Iraqi Resistance as 'Criminal', they both speak out against 'Political Islam' and they both call for,"the replacement of the US forces with Multi-national forces under the auspices of the United Nations," as the IFC put it in it's 'Manifesto'.

Isn't it uncanny how the Communists hop so closely with the US? Their 'General Secretary', Samir Adil, has been allowed to speak in the US and elsewhere. The US Intelligence services obviously see him as no threat. They US State Department issue him a visa to visit the US, spread his opinion and fund raise. He is obviously not one of those 'bad men', as Bush put it, who need to be detained in Guantanamo Bay Concentration Camp, in order to 'protect America'. The Japanese government, who also sent troops to support the Illegal Imperialist invasion in Iraq likewise allowed Comrade Samir to speak in their country??? Don't look at the flag or the slogans, look at what they do and who their friends are.

Here is a statement by the IFC on the US - Iraqi Treaty. Full text at link.
The U.S. administration plans to tie Iraq to a treaty that will guarantee a U.S. military presence and political interference with absolute control of the wealth and resources of Iraq. The proposed treaty reveals once again the disingenuous goals and incentives of the U.S.-led war and occupation of Iraq. These goals have always contradicted the pretexts for invading Iraq such as searching for weapons of mass destruction, ridding Iraq of a dictatorship and, most absurdly of all -- spreading democracy in the region.
On the economic level, the wealth of society will be placed in the hands of a group of U.S. mafia corporations and their brokers in the current puppet government.
At the political level, movements that call for freedom, equality and prosperity will be inevitably suppressed, since their demands would undermine the corporate privileges to continue stealing the society’s wealth.
Iraq Freedom Congress totally rejects such a treaty which openly undermines the interests of Iraqis and the region. Furthermore, signatories of this treaty from the Iraqi government or the National Assembly do not represent Iraqis nor do they have the mandate to speak for Iraqis.
The struggle to topple such a treaty is part of Iraq Freedom Congress’s struggle to expel the occupation and overthrow its projects.
There can be no security or stability without ending the occupation and sweeping out all of its projects.
