Mr. Moon,
You are sincere in your beliefs and also intellectually honest. Maybe?
It is revealing that you think I may find this development unsatisfactory, !
I find this very positive! I feel as good as that day when Saddam agreed to give the Inspectors unconditional access. Did you review this?

Your guys are going to squash it, not my guys.
All this la-de-da Poltical stuff is the background music. What counts is who signs the contracts and the checks. If our usual suspects are excluded, KBR may have to start doing some serious bookkeeping. What matters is who decides the headings on the accounts payable. No bid, no records, no accountability may result in no contract if the technocrats get decision authority. Somebody tell Chalabi to drop off new signature cards.

Brahimi more or less said this. He told our politicos to butt out. Politics got us in to this, maybe the grown-ups taking over can get us out. I shared some misgivings about structure here.

Thank goodness I wasn't in your chain of command...
