Hero Ibrahim needs to shut her mouth or be tried for treason -- it is that simple

RUDAW reports:

Hero Ibrahim Ahmed, widow of former Iraqi president and PUK founder Jalal Talabani, insists the post of Iraqi president must remain in PUK hands.

“All the PUK members and I believe that the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan be adamant on assuming the post of this sovereign position which is a symbol for the success of Mr Mam Jalal during his tenure as president,” Ahmed said in her statement.

The PUK and the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) have both staked a claim to the presidency. The position has consistently been held by a member of the PUK since the removal of Saddam Hussein. As the biggest Kurdish party, however, KDP officials say they have a right to field a candidate of their own.



Lying trash says what?

Hero was married to fat ass Jalal -- so fat and obsese he had to come to the US to get his fat sucked.  So fat that after his procedure, he collapsed in a US bookstore toppling several book cases. 

Now Jalal was responsible for what he put in his own mouth but, honestly, Hero couldn't have ever said, "That's enough, that's more than enough"?

She had no problem speaking . . . when Jalal had his stroke.

He was out of the country for 15 months.

Hero spoke.

Well, let's give her full credit, she lied.

And she lied repeatedly.

She told the Iraqi people that Jalal was fine.  She took part in posing him for photos to make it appear he was speaking with underlings.

Reality: Jalal couldn't speak.  He did not have control over his body.  He was incapacitated and would never recover.

Hero lied and Iraq had no president because Jalal couldn't fulfill his duties.

Dropping back to the July 22, 2014 snapshot:



December 2012,  Iraqi President Jalal Talabani suffered a stroke.   The incident took place late on December 17, 2012 following Jalal's argument with Iraq's prime minister and chief thug Nouri al-Maliki (see the December 18, 2012 snapshot).  Jalal was admitted to Baghdad's Medical Center Hospital.    Thursday, December 20, 2012, he was moved to Germany.  He remained in Germany until last weekend. 




Amid continuing political deadlock in Iraq, the selection of the country’s next president remains mired in confusion despite the return of incumbent president Jalal Talabani from medical treatment abroad on Saturday.
Reports say that Iraq’s Kurdish parties were unable to agree on the nomination of a single candidate for the presidency over the weekend, despite expectations that a parliamentary session to confirm the choice will take place on Wednesday.
The Iraqi presidency, a largely ceremonial post, is reserved for a member of the country’s Kurdish minority under an informal agreement that emerged during attempts to form a new government in the wake of the 2003 US-led invasion of the country.





What the law demanded was that Hero tell the truth.  Instead, she lied.  She risked the state of Iraq for her own personal gain.  She shouldn't be speaking today.  She should never speak publicly again.  She should be shunned for the lying trash that she is.

While she was lying, Nouri al-Maliki's actions were helping create ISIS. 

That's on her lying ass as well.

Had Iraq a president during that time, Nouri might have been held in check or even semi in check.

Hero is a traitor to the Iraqi people.

A traitor.

She needs to step away from public life unless she's the Iraqi people to put her on trial for her lies and her actions.  A trial in Iraq would result in a guilty verdict and lead to her execution.  So she should just shut her mouth and find a way out of public life.

If the PUK is upset that they don't get the presidency, they should take it up with Hero.

Again, for 15 months she personally lied to the Iraqi people claiming her husband was carrying out his duties as president.  Jalal couldn't speak, he couldn't move.  He wasn't even aware who was around him.  She lied and the country suffered.  Per the Constitution, he should have been immediately replaced but her lies protected him and they protected her.  They did not protect the Iraqi people.

Due to those lies and that deceipt, the PUK should not even be considered for the presidency at this time.  Actions should have consequences.

    Some Tweets from Sarah Abdallah


  • If the Obama administration hadn’t armed, financed and trained Al-Qaeda fanatics, there wouldn’t be any displacement of innocents nor terrorism inside Syria. Your faux concern and humanitarian interventionist propaganda is only emboldening these very same jihadists.
  •   Retweeted
    I have to give it to the state & corporate propagandists on McCain death, they have been brilliant. Vietnam became "honorable," McCain's warmongering imperialism normalized & the people further conditioned to accept the next illegal military attack - probably in Syria. Nice work.
  • After claiming the bombing of a school bus full of children in Yemen, killing 40 kids, was a “legitimate military target”, Saudi Arabia now says it was a “mistake”. How many more “mistakes” must this brutal regime commit before we end all arms sales & military support to Riyadh?
  • Fitting considering John McCain was the US Senate’s foremost champion of NATO bombing Libya back to the stone age, turning the most prosperous nation in Africa into a failed, war-torn state now ruled by jihadist terrorists who enjoy selling human beings in open air slave markets.
  • Rather rich coming from a woman who has “disrupted” the internal affairs of no less than a dozen sovereign countries over the same amount of time. And getting millions of dollars in financing from the world’s worst dictatorships while she was at it too.

    When you realize that 2/3rds of the time the Nobel people are just fucking with us.
  •   Retweeted
    Naming a street after a man who armed jihadist thugs in Syria, empowered slave-selling terrorists in Libya and enabled Saudi Arabia’s genocidal war on Yemen—which is now the world’s worst humanitarian catastrophe. Keep it classy, Los Angeles.
  •   Retweeted
    John O. Brennan will be remembered by history as a lying liar with zero integrity who was complicit in Torture & illegally spying on the U.S. Senate and repeatedly lying about it. He is the moral superior to no one.
  • Putin’s warplanes slaughtered a dozen fishermen in Yemen’s Hodeidah today! Oh no wait... That’s just Saudi Arabia keeping up its everyday routine of massacring civilians in Yemen. Nothing to see here. Move along.
  •   Retweeted
    Never forget what the Bush administration with the support from the intelligence community and the corporate press did to trick the people into supporting the illegal war on Iraq first implying a connection with 9/11 and then WMD BS. Stop letting them play you.
  •   Retweeted
    A decisive battle in the war against Islamist terrorism is looming. And the inevitable victory in that battle of the Syrian Army - which encompasses all of Syria’s religious and ethnic groups - will be a tremendous blow to global terror. Onwards to the liberation of Idlib!

    FYI: We could END homelessness in America for $20Billion. Or just HALF of what has made this year alone. BTW: We have increased our WAR budget $200Billion since 2005, $80Billion this past year alone. We have the money. Homelessness is very fixable. Oligarchs don't care
  • Didn’t know that John McCain’s legacy of embracing wars and regime change operations throughout the world made him a “warrior for peace”. The people of Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen and others whose families were killed and nations were destroyed by his warmongering won’t miss him.
  • The man who spied on 193 countries, maintained a Kill List, expanded drone strikes, destroyed Libya, Syria and Yemen, propped up dictatorships and locked up more journalists and whistleblowers than all his predecessors combined, wants to lecture us about “authoritarian politics”.
  • The list is long but let’s start with George Bush, the guy who invaded Iraq on false pretenses, killing and displacing millions of human beings and giving rise to ISIS. Ring any bells?
  •   Retweeted
    Here's another fake news story CNN never retracted. Them propagandizing for the invasion of Libya by saying it wouldn't be disastrous like Iraq. It led to the rise of ISIS, terror attacks in the west such as the Manchester bombing, & the migrant crisis. CNN's fake news kills.
  • If Putin or Assad had blown up a school bus heading to summer camp in Syria, killing 40 children, instead of US-UK-armed Saudi Arabia in Yemen, there’d be a never-ending stream of global outrage along with calls for sanctions and regime change.
  •   Retweeted
    here we go again.
  •   Retweeted
    .'s warmongering in , , and in recent years brought chaos to the Middle East & Europe. His push for these wars resulted in the current in Europe.
  • “He [John McCain] was an incorrigible militarist, a warmonger. His support for jihadists in Syria and Neo-Nazis in Ukraine was shameful, not heroic.”
  • That McCain was considered a “great friend” of Saudi Arabia, which routinely massacres kids in Yemen & is threatening to behead a female human rights activist, is very telling. Not a “hero” or a “human rights champion” but a warmonger & staunch ally of the barbaric Saudi regime.
