The Iraqi Communist Party is strongly represented in the new interim government in Baghdad and is getting U.S. taxpayer support thanks to a U.S. group led by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, reports Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin, the premium, online intelligence newsletter published by WND.
No group in Iraq was more vociferous in its celebration June 28 of the transition of power from the U.S.-led coalition than the ICP. Outside the party's office in Baghdad, a dancing cheering crowd waved red flags as sympathetic passing motorists sounded their horns.
Iraq's biggest left-wing party has received a surprising amount of support and credibility even while U.S. troops fight Islamic terrorists and remnants of Saddam Hussein forces.
While the ICP welcomed Saddam Hussein's removal from power, it opposed the war that made it possible, arguing that diplomatic means had not been exhausted.
The Communists pressed for inclusion in the interim government, a body created by the U.S.
One U.S. supporter of the ICP has been the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, a private, taxpayer-funded group led by Albright, reports G2 Bulletin.
"At present, the ICP boasts the most significant organizational structure among all the secular parties," NDI Middle East director Leslie Campbell explained.
