US draws up secret plan to impose regime on Iraq

A disagreement has broken out at a senior level within the Bush administration over a new government that the US is secretly planning in Kuwait to rule Iraq in the immediate aftermath of the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.
Under the plan, the government will consist of 23 ministries, each headed by an American. Every ministry will also have four Iraqi advisers appointed by the Americans, the Guardian has learned.

The government will take over Iraq city by city. Areas declared "liberated" by General Tommy Franks will be transferred to the temporary government under the overall control of Jay Garner, the former US general appointed to head a military occupation of Iraq.

The most controversial of Mr Wolfowitz's proposed appointees is Ahmed Chalabi, the head of the opposition Iraqi National Congress, together with his close associates, including his nephew....

The defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, is one of his strongest supporters. The state department and the CIA, on the other hand, regard him with deep suspicion.

Liberation never looked better ..... Rumsfeld shaked hands with Saddam about 12 years ago ... Now, he is doing the same with the soon to be new terror for the US gov. With the US, it'as friend today, foe tomorrow....

This is our standard MO. We prop them up until we don't need them anymore and then we take them down. It's happened before and it will happen again.

It's not a secret plan if you know about it.

Yeah, US had a lot of practice doing this in the Caribbean and in Latin America. Now its being exported to the Middle East.

Funny thing this DEMOCRACY.... We want it if the results are in our favor, we SUPPRESS it if it isn't... Just look at the official US silence at Algeria. Democratic Elections in Algeria would have produced a radicalized Islamic majority. Election results voided by military.

On a more disturbing level... DEMOCRACY is not going to produce peace in many regions of the world where a small demographic minority control the vast majority of a country's wealth. Lebanese in coastal west africa, chinese in south east asia, etc etc. If there were real DEMOCRACIES here, these minorities would be toast.

It is sad but true... LIBERAL DEMOCRACY...ie., a democracy propped up by a civil society under equal protection of law is very rare.

So it probably would be wise to think twice about "EXPORTING" democracy because the unintended consequences may be a BITCH!

I guess the US should just leave Iraq in anarchy, then? NO matter what we do, or how we do it, there will be someone who complains.
