Iraqi Intelligence Services Strategy in 2001

Captain's Quarters has a good post on the mission of the Iraqi Intelligence from a translated document written in 2001. The following are the five key points:

A. Prepare a public relation plan that aims to clarify the rights of Iraq, and bring up what is related to the Palestinian cause, and the call to strike the presence and interests of America.

B. Work to commit some nations like France, China, Russia and Japan to economical agreements that make the implementation of the smart sanctions to have negative effect to the interests of these nations.

C. Strengthen our embassies with new remarkable staff that is can go toward new windows in the international relations.

D. Make a list of the citizens including those who are in the Apparatus that have in their names foreign accounts and do the procedures to protect these accounts from any enemy action.

E. Insist that that Iraq money will stay local.

To a large extent, Saddam succeeded in this mission. His only failure is that he was toppled from power, and even for that, he seems to be getting some sympathy from all over the world, including the American Left.
