Another take on the same thing: (FT -UK...) 'US infighting' blamed for Iraq failures By James Drummond in Baghdad and James Harding and Guy Dinmore in Washington Published: November 11 2003 21:19 \| Last Updated: November 11 2003 21:19 Iraq's foreign minister on Tuesday blamed "geriatric ambassadors" from the west and "American infighting" for many of the problems and the security failures bedevilling the US-led occupation of Iraq. The stinging attack from a leading Iraqi on the US-run occupation came as Paul Bremer, the US chief civilian administrator in Baghdad, cancelled a meeting with visiting Polish prime minister Leszek Miller to return at short notice for talks in Washington. US officials said Mr Bremer was making a regular trip back to Washington. But abandoning a scheduled meeting with the leader of a key member of the "coalition of the willing" added to the sense of an increasingly febrile mood in the Bush administration over the governance of Iraq. In response to complaints from unnamed Bush administration officials that Iraq's interim Governing Council has become an obstacle to progress, Hoshyar Zebari, the Iraqi foreign minister, launched an angry defence of the IGC. "I think this debate about the ruling council - that it is not doing its work, that it is not taking decisions - this is unfair," Mr Zebari said in an interview. "It has nothing to do with the performance, with the working of the governing council . . . American infighting among themselves between different departments over policy . . . has created many, many of the difficulties that we are going through," he said. CONT' at: news.ft.com
