Wolfowitz assured reporters ...that the Pentagon intended to install nothing more than an interim administration in Iraq. The time-frames being talked about in Washington for a transition to Iraqi self-government range from six to 24 months. Bush likes to compare what he is attempting in Iraq to what his predecessor, Harry Truman, did in post-war Germany and Japan. “America has made and kept this kind of commitment before,” he argued in February. “After defeating enemies we did not leave behind occupying armies, we left constitutions and parliaments.” This would be nice if it were true. In fact, the formal military occupation of Japan did not end until 1952 and that of West Germany not until 1955, making a total military occupation of, respectively, seven and 10 years. And the biggest overseas concentrations of American troops in the world even today are in, yes, Germany (69,000) and Japan (40,000). timesonline.co.uk
