Former Iraqi Parliamentarian Says Obama to Meet With Ahmadinejad

Former Iraqi Parliamentarian Mithal al Alusi contacted me by phone last week to report that, according to good sources, U.S. President Barack Obama is expected to meet soon with Iranian Prime Minister Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Alusi, who served two terms in Iraqs Parliament and has promoted normalized relations between Iraq and Israel, has frequently been prescient in alerting the West about developments in Iraq. Last April, he told this reporter that Iraqi politicians were participating in large scale money-laundering and smuggling to help the Iranian regime skirt U.S.-led sanctions, a report which was confirmed several months later by The New York Times.
Alusi said the sources of the current information about Obamas intended visit to Tehran are good sources, not the same [that reported the collusion between elements in Iraqs government and the Iranian regime] but the same level.
There is a plan for President Obama to visit Tehran, Alusi said. The new thing will be, Iran will be contained or that the [Iranian] regime and Obama will shake hands after Irans leaders promise to halt their efforts to obtain nuclear weapons, Alusi said.
In addition to saying this information came from high levels, Alusi offered his opinion on the matter.
It looks like visiting Hitler, said Alusi. Is it true history is repeating itself? Is it true the superpower doesnt understand the Mideast? Is it true [Obama] will shake hands with someone who [says], I will eliminate a country and a people? It is a crazy idea, to me.
Nevertheless, Alusi believes Obama will soon travel to meet with Ahmadinejad and that the U.S. President sees the potential visit as an opportunity to bridge a diplomatic impasse like Nixon as he visit[ed] China.
Alusi shared his view that he would support diplomatic efforts in the Mideast, even with extremists, if he believed they could work but he doesnt believe they can, and the danger is that the extremists will buy time and gain strength.
If this is such kind of situation we [who support] democratic peace, civilitywe are in danger, he said. The Iranians are going to promise they wont make a bomb. But [to themselves] they will say, America is not serious.
The Iranian tactic is clear. I am an Oriental man; I understand this. They [will] say, We will not have it. They [will] have the know-how, the stability in policy. They will work quietly. And one day they will surprise us.
Mr. Obama, dont do something stupid.
I will never trust terrorists and extremists, never.
Alusis two sons, Jamal, 22, and Ayman, 30, were murdered by terrorists in February, 2005, apparently as payback for their fathers having visited Israel a taboo in Iraqi society.
Shortly after the attack, Alusi told reporters, I have always urged politicians to avoid trying to lead a dialogue with terrorists. Any kind of inviting murderers to dialogue means giving them a little bit of legitimacy, which they do not have. They do not have the right to play with us.
Refusing to be intimidated after the murders, Alusi stayed in Iraq and continued to build the political party his fallen sons had helped him establish. In December, 2005, he was elected to Iraqs Parliament, where he went on to serve two terms. He has visited Israel several times since and survived an assassination attempt last February.
In 2008, Iraqs highest court upheld Alusis right to travel to Israel and ruled his fellow Parliamentarians, many of whom said they had voted under duress and threat of violence, had no right to strip him of his immunity or security protection for visiting the Jewish State.
Last week Alusi cautioned that, should Ahmadinejad give an assurance the regime will halt its nuclear program, It doesnt mean we are secure, just that they will push the problem down a couple of years.
At the time of publication, the White House had not yet responded to The Algemeiners request for comment on the report.
