And further evidence that you are just "spouting" out negativity.. Chalabis IS Shiite, and the odds are that the Shiites will gain more power under his government than under a Sunni one.

Half of the Governing Council is Shiite...

US troops in Iraq give al Qaida a propaganda windfall, just as troops in Saudi Arabia provided al Qaida with a justification to recruit the terrorists who planned and committed attacks against us on 9/11. The US has absolutely no legitimacy to set up a new government in Iraq. Iraq should immediately be turned over and put under UN authority. Let the UN work with Iraq to establish a viable political process. The US should be doing everything possible to support the UN in this role.
