Saddam and Now Tariq Aziz to be hanged to bury facts

Mr Tariq Hannah Aziz, was born in 1936 to a Christian family in Mosul. He majored in English studies at the University of Baghdad and graduated in 1958, one month before the anti-British and anti-American July 14 revolution. It was natural for Mr Aziz, a vehement anti-communist, to join the small Baath party and to work with the CIA in its failed attempt to assassinate Qassem in 1959 and to topple his regime and execute him in February 1963. A close friend of Saddam, Aziz led Iraq foreign ministry and policy making for close to thirty years. During the war on Iran 1980-1988, Mr Aziz established a close working relationship with the CIA, especially with its director at the time, Mr. Bill Casey. The cooperation with the CIA was extended to include all operations carried out by Iraqi embassies including a large number of assassinations of Iraqi dissidents in Lebanon, Khartum, Kuwait, Aden and Cairo. It is rather stupid to put Mr Aziz on trial for the killing of Iraqi merchants and not for his role and responsibility for the Killing of Iraqi dissidents abroad, mostly executed by Dr Ayad Allawi, another of Saddam close collaborators in charge of Hanin assassination squad with a HQ in London. Dr Allawi became Iraq prime minister of the second occupation government
Why a former foreign minister like Aziz may be hanged for a crime unrelated to his job? The Americans don’t want to reveal all the secret dealings with Aziz and want to liquidate him for an unrelated crime. It is similar to the hanging of Saddam not for gassing the Kurds in Halbja or for other genocides against the Iraqi people but for the killing of 132 Shiites in Dujail. The reason was mainly to bury Saddam before he opens his mouth about who supplied him with precursors for chemical weapons, including Donald Rumsfeld. It is usual for America to use and to dump its agents which will include Nuri Al-Maliki, the Prime minister of Iraq fourth occupation government.

I thought it was clear that the former foreign minister, Tariq Hannah Aziz, should be tried for the crimes committed by Iraqi and CIA agents in his embassies not for the killing of merchants in Baghdad. I want Tariq Aziz to be tried for the crimes he committed while in charge of Saddam foreign policies.

Read my post well. America is killing its own agents, collaborators and mercenaries. The Americans want to hide all the evidence of their conspiracies. No-one punishes the Americans like the Iraqis.
