Well, not surprising that FOX has a little different take on it... Prominent Iraqi leader Sayyid Abdul Aziz Al-Hakim visited Dearborn last Saturday during his first visit to the U.S. Sayyid Al-Hakim's visit was seen as an opportunity to reassess the political situation in Iraq as President Bush is expected to announce a new policy direction before Christmas. Sayyid Al-Hakim is the brother of the late Ayatollah Mohammed Baqir Al-Hakim. He serves as the head of the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI), considered one of Iraq's most prominent Shi'a political parties. His visit to Dearborn was welcomed by many in the relatively large and vibrant local Iraqi community. Prior to arriving in Dearborn, the Iraqi leader was in Washington on December 4 to meet with President Bush and other ranking officials.. The meeting came on the heels of Iraqi Prime Minister Nour Al-Maliki's meeting with the president, and the release of the Baker-Hamilton Iraq Study Group report last week. The report sent political shockwaves across the country because it included a stinging critique of the Bush administration's foreign policy. Prime Minister Al- Maliki and Sayyid Al-Hakim have drawn political fire back home for meeting with President Bush. Many prominent Sunni and Shi'a Iraqi leaders have blamed the U.S. for insecurity and a lack of progress in Iraq.. Sayyid Al Hakim arrived in Michigan Friday and attended events in the local Chaldean Iraqi communities in West Bloomfield and Southfield. Members of that community expressed concerns about the rapid emigration of Chaldeans and poor living conditions inside Iraq. On Saturday, Al-Hakim toured Dearborn area institutions including the Islamic Center of America (ICA), Islamic Institute of Knowledge (IIOK), Bint Jebail Cultural Center, and the Karbalaa Islamic Center (KIC). "I am delighted to be present here with my brothers and sisters of the Iraqi community… Shi'a, Sunni, Kurdish, Turkoman, Assyrian, Chaldean, and all others," he said to a loud welcoming from the crowd of almost 500 people packed in for dinner at the KIC. As the leader visited, the civilian death toll in Iraq reached unprecedented levels, with almost daily car bombing attacks against Shi'a civilians in Baghdad, followed by reports of retaliation by "death squads" who claim to be taking revenge against "Sunni insurgents." Okay, so Prominent Iraqi leader Sayyid Abdul Aziz Al-Hakim visited Dearborn last Saturday and was greeted by cheering crowds-this is the same guy that criticized Bush and US policy...
