the government will consist of 23 ministries, each headed by an American

Any objection to putting Canada in charge of Iraq?

It seems to me that some of the prime candidates selected by Wolfie were convicted of fraud or embezzlement in Jordan a few years ago. Someone correct me on this if I am wrong. Nothing like putting criminals in charge. Wouldnt be the first time though.

Who cares, as long as they are obedient to us, right?

 

[Wag]

And of course, every one of those 23 ministers will be Jews, or at the least Zionist-Christians. Lol.

We will be in charge though- it's beginning to seem a bit like the Roman Empire, where we'll have "governors" ruling in a foreign land.

Why not just hand it over to France?

I would accept this honour on behalf of my country. I will take possession of Iraq and RULE WITH AN IRON FIST! How aboot that?










Maybe that's not such a good idea, what do I know, I'm Canadian, eh?

*If* true then I definitely think this course of action would be a monumental mistake, reinforcing world opinion that America is seeking to occupy Iraq. I don't think that is the intention behind this plan but the fact remains that from a PR perspective it looks quite bad, especially to the most important target audience--the Iraqi people.

I have never doubted the U.S. military's ability to win the war, but I do have serious questions about the Bush administration's ability to win the ensuing peace. Hopefully they will prove me wrong...

I heard about it today on AFN that'll be confirmation enough for me

The Iraqi people will get a chance to speak for themselves, FINALLY. Got a good feeling their words and stories will quiet those that opposed.

And hopefully they won't be too upset over a short interim administration run by Americans. *If* the Iraqis are okay with it then I'm okay with it too.

But if there is widespread anger among Iraqis over such a structure I think it would be wise to heed their wishes. In that case we should turn it over to the UN. Do I think the UN, an organization so renowned for its inefficiency, corruption, and general ineffectiveness that it makes domestic governments look like well-oiled machines, is best-suited to run Iraq? Hell no. But it is far more important for the U.S. to avoid being perceived as an occupying power, because regardless of who is running the show, the reconstitution of the Iraqi nation can never work without the support of its inhabitants.

So like I said, hopefully Iraqis understand that the American administration is just a temporary measure, but if they demand UN involvement I say give it to them. Then if and when UN diplomats botch the situation it will be on *their* heads, not ours.

No, I think we should be there to stabilize the situation and then let the UN take over as soon as possible. The longer we are ruling there, the more anger and hatred from the Arab world.

LMFAO.
Yeah, we'll let the UN take over. They are really good at running countries and keeping peace.
