Fighting for what though...?

Ayad Allawi looks like he's still trying to return to power in Iraq. For those who don't remember, he was the source for much of the information regarding Iraq's chemical weapons programs, which turned out to be false. He also served as interim Prime Minister of Iraq, a reign which featured a severe worsening of the security situation, numerous allegations of corruption, and lacking the confidence of the people of Iraq.

Now, he's trying to come back to power. Frankly, I don't see this happening. He has no credit with anyone in the U.S. government, anyone at the United Nations, anyone in the Iraqi government, or with the Iraqi people themselves. Reporting on this makes as much sense as reporting on Ron Paul's "run" for the Presidency.

Former Iraqi leader returning 'to fight for our country'

Iraq's former interim prime minister accused Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki of fomenting sectarian violence plaguing the war-ravaged nation.

Ayad Allawi said Sunday he will soon return to Baghdad, to "reverse the course in Iraq."

Speaking from Amman, Jordan, Allawi told CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer," that al-Maliki leads a government loyal to Iran and Shiite interests.

Allawi accused the prime minister of "supporting militias to take the rule of law in their hands."

Allawi also said he would like to see the United States begin to withdraw troops immediate, but realizes the process could take more than two years.

"I would play my role in Iraq in whatever capacity is required to change Iraq into an unsectarian country, to a peaceful country, to a democratic country," Allawi said.
