The Bush administration's plans for a new caretaker government in Iraq would place severe limits on its sovereignty, including only partial command over its armed forces and no authority to enact new laws, administration officials said Thursday. Only 10 weeks from the scheduled transfer of sovereignty, the administration is still not sure exactly who will govern in Baghdad, or precisely how they will be selected. A week ago, President Bush agreed to a recommendation by Mr. Brahimi to dismantle the existing Iraqi Governing Council, which was handpicked by the United States, and to replace it with a caretaker government whose makeup is to be decided next month. nytimes.com ============================================================ OK - we are supposedly handing Iraq over to someone in 10 weeks, but we do not know to who yet. Furthermore the people we are "handing over" the govt to, will not have any power to create any laws. We are going to remove our current handpicked govt and replace it with another handpicked govt, but one with no power. WTF? How does that constitute a govt handover at all? You have to be nuts to think thus is anything other than a political ploy for Bush. M

earth day billmon.org ------------------------------- It's my honor to celebrate Earth Day with you in a state that I know pretty darn well, in a state that I love, in an area that I now realize I know well because it was right off the beach here that old Number 41 and I liked to try to catch striped bass. (Laughter.) It's a pretty good place to fish around here. George W. Bush Earth Day Address April 22, 2004 Phillips: “Are you saying this administration just doesn't care about air pollution?” Buckheit: “Yes. I'm saying this administration has decided to put the economic interests of the coal fired power plants ahead of the public interests in reducing air pollution.” Phillips: “That's a pretty serious allegation.” Buckheit: “Well, I was the head of the air enforcement division up until a couple weeks ago and I watched it happen.” Former EPA official Bruce Buckheit Dateline NBC interview April 20, 2004 --------------------------------- Bruce Buckheit joins the ranks of traitors to this country along with Richard Clarke, Paul O'Neill, Joe Wilson, Rand Beers, Tami Silicio (the coffin photo woman), and Richard Foster (the Medicare actuary forced to lie about costs of prescription drug plan by his bosses). Am I forgetting someone?
