| Jalal Talabani quote from 2000
Jalal Talabani is Secretary General of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan. This is an excerpt from an interview he gave to PBS in 2000. I found it extremely interesting that he mentions military action even back then. You understand American politics well. What do you think the political realities are in America and would it help Vice President Gore in the election?
I don't claim that I understand American policy very well. I think the most important thing which could help Al Gore in the election will be a plan of action to remove the Iraqi dictatorship. Otherwise the Republicans will come and tell him that--we could defeat the Iraqi military; we could liberate Kuwait in just months. Why couldn't you remove him from power these past eight years? ... There are some foreign policy points that Republicans can use, and one is regarding Iraq.
