OT I don't think they're clever enough to be "evil", "mean" will do. LOLOL msnbc.com Report: U.S. mulls Iraq occupation N.Y. Times says plan based on post-war scenario in Japan THE PLAN IS based on the occupation of Japan following World War II and includes installing a U.S. military commander to fill the position that Gen. Douglas MacArthur took after Tokyo surrendered in 1945, the Times said in its Friday editions. The Times said the MacArthur role could perhaps be filled by Gen. Tommy Franks, commander of U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf, or by one of his subordinates. The plan also calls for war-crime trials for Iraqi leaders and the establishment of an elected civilian government, a process that could take months or years, unnamed senior administration officials told the Times. Advertisement Officials said the plan was “coalescing around” the ideas now that President Bush and his advisers have reviewed the options. They said the plan had not been formally approved. White House spokesman Scott McClellan said he had no comment on the story. PREVENT INFIGHTING The officials told the Times that American military rule would help to prevent the type of infighting that has erupted in Afghanistan since the ouster of the Taliban and would allow the U.S. to conduct a thorough search for weapons of mass destruction.

Kissinger said during Senate hearings last month.
