The U.S. refused to support an all-out guerrilla war, but the White House and Congress did allow the CIA to spend between $10 million and $15 million a year running two clandestine operations. The smaller but more promising one was a paramilitary organization known as Wifaq (Iraqi National Accord), based in Jordan. Wifaq's 80 to 100 members included several prominent former...

Every day there are new articles about how angry they are and how they are going to retaliate." Last week's multi-billion tit- for-tat tariffs threatened an all-out trade war between the two nations.
