http://www.democrats.com/worlds-first-c ... ternetI've been following political uses of the Internet since the very beginning, but this one is a shocker. A top GOP lobbying firm in DC is using the Internet to overthrow Prime Minister Maliki. Shall we call it a Coup D'Internet?Right-Wing Operatives Plot To Overthrow Maliki, Replace Him With Reliable Collaborator Allawi The powerful Republican lobbying group of Barbour Griffith & Rogers is plotting an effort to displace Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and supplant him with former interim Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi. IraqSlogger reported:BGR’s work for Allawi includes the August 17 purchase of the Web site domain Allawi-for-Iraq.com.In recent days, BGR sent hundreds of e-mail messages in Allawi’s name from the e-mail address
DrAyadAllawi@Allawi-for-Iraq.com. I had trouble believing this so I tried to visit Allawi-for-Iraq.com. Sure enough it has been registered, but it is under construction. Then I checked WHOIS and sure enough, the site is owned by BGR.Until now, American coup d'etats were done by the CIA and in secret. Why? For starters, the guy you're trying to overthrow usually has a military, and said military usually think it's perfectly ok to use their weapons to kill anyone trying to overthrow their Commander-in-Chief, either at home or abroad. Has BGR built itself a hardened underground bunker capable of withstanding an Iraqi military attack?
