| #4 Here's the big question....If Sadaam is "exiled" rather than "deposed", does that create some sort of technicality that Sadaam (or the UN) can name the successors to his regime? Considering that France, Russia, etc. have made clear they are going to hang their hats on the "illegal war" word game (discussed yesterday), once the war is over the "so-called" question of who will establish the the new Iraqi govn't , will - according to the French - certainly not belong to illegal US occupation army. France will say, the UN gets to do it, of course, to assure UN protection of their prior contracts and backroom deals . Other rantburg article today makes it appear that US is going to block this move. If they allow the war to be "won" by the Iraqi opposition, and there is no US [illegal] Military Intervention phase, the Iraqi people, through the Interim Authority, will get to make those decisions for themselves, NOT the UN. BWAHAAAAAHAAAHAA! Trumped again Igor! |
