Hmmm... A coup to impose the rule of a Hussein. Sounds like the Iraqis did a better job thwarting this, than we did.

Al Awda, a group accused of working to reconstitute the Baath Party of late Iraqi ruler Saddam Hussein

A bit late... now that he and his sons are in hell. As a consolidation they can now cheer our Hussein.

This is really weird because the Ministry of Interior is decidedly VERY Shia and they hated Saddam Hussein.

I spent a little over a year working directly with the MOI (just finished that mission April of this year before moving on to my current one) and it was Shia rule all the way.

I'm just getting back from three weeks at home on R&R. I just arrived in Kuwait earlier this eveining and will be back in Iraq this weekend. I will definitely check this one out.

I’m sure that Syria’s president Assad was SHOCKED! Shocked to hear about a Bath’ist coup attempt in Iraq.
