When the US decided to get rid of Ibrahim al-Jaafari, Iraq’s President Jalal Talabani insisted that his nomination to a second term, “was an obstacle to uniting the country.”
And the media reported that he was referring to the country of Iraq.
Justice and Development Party (AKP) Balikesir Deputy Turhan Comez, who has been to northern Iraq to prepare a report on the future of Kirkuk, asked Chairman of Kirkuk Provincial Assembly Rizgar Ali to remove a false “Kurdistan” map, which indicated that there were several independent states in eastern Turkey.
How long will the media portray Talabani as an Iraqi leader, until permanent US bases have been built in Kurdistan?
