#1 Saw Bernard Lewis on Charlie Rose last night. Lewis is worried that Brahimi will rebaathify the govt. US needs to make sure that the firm anti-Baathists, including the IGC people and Sistanis people are not pushed out by Brahimi/UN/Sunni arab neighbors. See above Iraqi press post.

#2 Brahimi on the loose is not the type of guy we want sticking his nose in Iraq. He a product of the Algerian revolution, loves its generals, etc. In other words, he finds comfort in the typical Arab govt. template of a strong leader over representative govt. Which brings up one thing. Why in God's name is W giving so much lee way to him? I remember what the prez said at his press conference. What gives? I know how Brahimi helped out in Afghanistan, but that wasn't Arab.

#4 "Why in God's name is W giving so much lee way to him?"

Some would say that we originally intended to count on the Shia to oppose UN influence. When our relations with Sistani deteriorated, whether you blame the CPA or Sistani, we needed to fall back on the UN.

#5 I get the feeling these yammerheads were supposed to be on the flag designing comittee, but it let out early. Send 'em back, keep 'em busy with that ultra-important task while the grown-ups decide what to do about the gomers with the guns.

#6 A positive spin on this is that the iraqis are going to be faced with a choice. Do you want the UN proposal or not. I think it highly likely it will be rejected. Which will be another nail in teh UN's coffin.

#7 The Security Council welcomed his "provisional ideas" and members asked many questions - to which they got few answers.

It's the UN, they're fresh out of answers

Umm This is Bush's war. What's his plan.

Remember Bush told the UN to kiss his A$$.

Now he's in constant prayer hoping this proped up govt works long enough till Nov 2.

What Army will defend this new Govt.

#8 Don't you even understand your DUmmy Talking Points screech well enough to formulate a rational tirade? You're a tool fool - and a lamer to boot. Go back and ask for help from an aDUlt, if you can locate one, sonny.
