Some call the killing of Saddam a Western coup, others say it's quite normal to have a PM who's an English national and a defense minister who's also Swedish and gets social benefits

This al-Shammari guy was just recently exposed as being a Swedish citizen who A)receives Swedish social benefits while being the IRAQI MINISTER OF DEFENSE, and B) has a criminal record.
The previous PM Al-Abadi had an English citizenship, and the current PM Abdul-Mahdi has the French one.
So are at least 32 others with dubious backgrounds and loyalties to other countries who hold powerful positions of influence.
