What does Adel Abdul Mahdi want?

Listen to the article. The audio text is automated, generated by an automated system

Now, twenty-three years after the fall of Saddam's statue in Firdaus Square, Mr. Adel Abdul Mahdi comes out to tell us that everything that happened to us was caused by colonialism and Western hegemony, and that he and his group of quota politicians have nothing to do with the festival of failure that has been continuing all these years. In a long article entitled "The State of 2003 is a Wobbly State," Mr. Adel Abdul Mahdi showcases his skill in reversing the facts, trying to banish the specter of failure and devastation caused by the quotas. Benefit sharing, mismanagement, corruption, lack of planning, political randomness, turning state institutions into political and partisan boycotts, and lack of economic planning. The first and last responsibility is the dominance of imperialism and colonialism over Mesopotamia. Mr. Adel Abdul Mahdi had no choice but to remind us that the American occupation of Iraq did not come to overthrow Saddam, but rather to complete Saddam’s mission, which failed, according to Abdul Mahdi’s expression, in fighting Iran, and for this reason the Iraqi people are required to stand up to the Americans. Of course I am not in It is worth reminding Mr. Adel Abdul Mahdi - a man who moved from the Baath Party to Maoist communism only to leave it for political Islam, and then content himself with the title of “independent” - that the Iraqi opposition, of which Mr. Adel Abdul Mahdi was one of its most prominent leaders, was the one that convinced the Americans of the necessity of removing Saddam’s regime, and that the end of the era of dictatorship will open the winds of change to the Middle East, and the Iraqis will live under quota governments the best years of their lives, and that the constitution under which Humam Hamoudi sat opposite Saleh Al-Mutlaq to define its paragraphs would be the best constitution in the world. Iraqis remember the picture of Mr. Adel Abdul Mahdi standing next to Paul Bremer.And his famous picture holding George Bush in both hands with an overwhelming smile on his face. The narrative of colonialism and imperialism that Mr. Adel Abdul Mahdi adopted is contrasted with the narrative of what happened during the past twenty-three years in governments in which Mr. Adel Abdul Mahdi assumed the position of Vice President of the Republic once, once Prime Minister, once Minister of Finance, once Minister of Oil, and Member of Parliament, and before all of these positions he assumed the presidency of the country within the Governing Council formed by the “colonizer” Paul Bremer. He knows Mr. Adel Abdul Mahdi is well aware that he is an essential partner in the post-Saddam regime era, and he knows very well what the quota governments did that replaced construction and development with campaigns of greed, the theft of state resources, and the building of financial empires that brought Iraq to the brink of bankruptcy, the absence of a national project, the disruption of the capabilities of the Iraqi citizen, the spread of favoritism, opportunism, and the absence of competencies. He knows very well that the basic problem is in the “lame” political system that did not succeed in building strong institutions that contribute to the advancement of the country.
