And this appointed quasi-government is different from the previous Iraqi appointed quasi-government how? So far it looks like the only thing that has changed is the UN recognizes this one because it promises to hold elections next year. The US put in the UN agreement that this one had to accept all the billions of dollars of contracts given to US and UK corporations and then rushed in a few billions more the last few weeks. So many contracts have been pushed through the new government is very low on money to do anything outside of the contracts. The core tenets that made up the president's foreign policy at the start of the war have nearly all been abandoned or revised because they didn't work and now even the GOP Supreme Court has ruled in the first of several expected decisions that Bush's detention policies were unconstitutional. Someone's a miserable failure. Gary Denton - Regime Change Maru #1 on google for _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
