GOP Lobbying Firm Working with Ex-Iraqi PM

HeadlineAug 23, 2007

Meanwhile, the website IraqSlogger reports Republican lobbyists with close ties to the Bush administration are now aiding and supporting the efforts of a possible replacement for al-Maliki — former Iraqi interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi. The Republican lobbying firm Barbour Griffith & Rogers is now working for Allawi. The company has purchased the website domain AllawiforIraq.com and has been sending emails to members of Congress on his behalf. Last week, Allawi argued in a Washington Post op-ed that Iraq will descend into chaos unless Maliki is replaced as prime minister.
