You are truly clueless, GST. From the Iraqi comments out of the meeting on interim government the other day, it sounds like Iraqis and the Bush administration are on the same page. You, OTOH, seem to have the wrong book entirely. Delegates at the meeting told Garner, who promised Iraq on Sunday that U.S. forces would leave as quickly as possible, that they were grateful to Washington for removing Saddam but now wanted to run their own affairs. Those attending included clerics from the Shi'ite majority and from the traditionally dominant Sunni Muslims, as well as Kurds from the northern mountains. Arab tribal chiefs in robes and headdresses mingled with urban professionals in Western-style suits. At the latest meeting of Iraq's potential leaders of the future, clear divisions emerged over Washington's role in the interim period ahead of planned elections. Many former exiles said Iraqis should rule their country alone and the United States should have only a limited role. Other Iraqis who had not left said they wanted more U.S. supervision because they did not trust those who returned after Saddam's fall. "There are differences over the role of the Americans. We here prefer the Americans to rule us in the interim period," said Suheil al-Suheil, a Baghdad lawyer. "We are not ready to handle this yet. Saddam's orphans are still alive." story.news.yahoo.com.
