#1 This'll be a stop-gap measure to try to curb the rampant looting of (mainly government) property that's going on in Basra, I assume. Clamping down on lawless elements with tact and discrimination the British forces couldn't hope to apply themselves. And to coordinate emergency humanitarian relief and infrastructure repairs on the ground. Hope this sheikh appreciates the 'interim' aspect of his job description and behaves with due propriety.
