Anyone else confused by the musical chairs on the Iraqi National Congress?

[kentuck]

Chalabi is in. Chalabi is out. Allawi is in. Allawi is out. Now the INC is supporting a Sunni and the White House is supporting the old guy that was at the SOTU speech and sat by Laura...What's going on? Does anyone know?

2. Me!!!

Because I was thinking, well my, Bremer is going to veto Allawi. That's surprising, but good. But it's not Allawai, it's the Sunni. Who seems somewhat reasonable from what I've read. So what happened to Allawai? And who is the guy Bremer is pushing for. :shrug:

But it'll all be a-ok on July 1. Whew. What a relief. ;)

3. But Saddam was a Sunni ??

So I would think the Shiites would not be happy with any Sunni as the leader of Iraq??

4. No. Brahimi and Bush are trying to create another Afghanistan

Profile: Lakhdar Brahimi

Veteran diplomat Lakhdar Brahimi has seen more than his fair share of trouble-spots in his long career.
During more than 40 years of service, he has been called upon to help make or keep the peace in countries including Lebanon, South Africa, Haiti, Afghanistan and now Iraq.

As United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan's special envoy, he has the task of shaping the caretaker administration that will run Iraq until elections can be held in early 2005.

He came to the task straight from a tough two-year assignment, also for the UN, helping Afghans to thrash out a post-Taleban constitution for their country.

Mr Brahimi's plan for Iraq has been gratefully received by a US administration weary of post-war nation-building efforts in the face of fierce resistance by insurgents.

5. That's exactly how they want you to be; Confused....

Again, the bushes are trying to cover up the fact that the person that will be taking charge in Iraq, will not be in charge. Only bush/cheney and oilers will be in charge. It's all fraud and a way for the bushes to crap on democracy.

6. Confusion?

Yeah. A Prime Minister, a President and two VPs. A Legistlature? Political Parites?

Here is the real story of the sham "Full Sovereignty".

Full Sovereignty?

Throughout the spring, as hundreds died in the spiraling conflict, as Regime bosses applied their hardcore "anti-terrorist" tortures to innocent bystanders raked up in their occupation nets, as Regime mouthpieces prated endlessly of "liberation" and "sovereignty," Bush viceroy Paul Bremer was quietly signing a series of edicts that will give the United States effective control over the military, ministries -- and money -- of any Iraqi government, for years to come, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Bremer has placed U.S.-appointed "commissions" made up of Americans and local puppets throughout Iraqi government agencies; the ministers supposedly in charge weren't even told of the edicts. These boards "will serve multiyear terms and have significant authority to run criminal investigations, award contracts, direct troops and subpoena citizens," the Journal reports. Any new Iraqi government "will have little control over its armed forces, lack the ability to make or change laws and be unable to make major decisions within specific ministries without tacit U.S. approval, say U.S. officials."


Earlier Bremer edicts laid the Iraqi economy wide open to ruthless exploitation by Bush-approved foreign "investors"; dominance of such key sectors as banking, communications -- and energy -- is already well advanced. The latest dictates aim to ensure that this organized looting goes on, no matter what kind of makeshift "interim government" the United Nations manage to piece together. Bush's plans to build a Saddamite fortress embassy in Baghdad and 14 permanent military bases around the country are designed to provide the knee-breaking "security" for these lucrative arrangements
