MOVE KURDISTAN FORWARD
"The Kurdistan Regional Government has hired Republican lobby firm
Russo Marsh & Rogers to get 'free media' to promote the interests of
the Kurds in the post-Saddam Hussein Iraq," reports O'Dwyer's. One
goal of the Kurdish leaders is "the return of Kirkuk," an oil-rich
northern Iraqi city populated by Kurdish and Turkmen people.
O'Dwyer's notes that the head of RM&R, Sal Russo, is no stranger to
international politics, having "worked on the campaign of Violetta
Chamorro in Nicaragua." The Kurdish contract was announced as Move
America Forward, a group RM&R helped found and whose "chief
strategist" is Russo, is going to Iraq. Move America Forward's
"Truth Tour" is bringing conservative talk radio hosts to Iraq, to
"report the good news on Operation Iraqi Freedom you're not hearing
from the old line news media."
