Iraq to be Sovereign by June

Occupation administration to end by june (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20031115/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq_occupation&cid=540&ncid=716)

Yay or nay? I think its a good idea. It gives a timetable, something that we haven't had (although this doesn't mean that our forces will leave). it also gives the Iraqis something to look forward to--six months is long enough to get their house in order, but short enough that (hopefully) they'll show some patience.

Good move by the administration here, although I would still like to see an Iraqi Constitution in these coming six months.

The timetable is good. But our forces wont leave til theyre not needed. That means the radicals/sadam supporters must be hunted down and killed. We're already strating to do that with more direction, but it's gotta continue to be stepped up.

is it?
we're talking about building a republic out of a nation that never knew such a life. Even the Afgani's are telling us not to be so quick to release the reins.

We'll still have troops there, but they'll be called a "security force" and not "occupiers."

I'm optimistic, but let's not start sucking each other's dicks just yet. It's a big step in the right direction. If this works, AND the economy continues its climb, I'd have little problem with Bush in 2004.

A summary of what leading newspapers around the world are saying about this:

From Slate (http://slate.msn.com/id/2091252/)

The funniest bit comes from our pals at
Le Monde


"President Bush can count on France for solidarity, advice and courage."


Oh boy! All his problems are solved now. ;)

To Dark Hippie's point, it seems like Bush has started listening to Karl Rove instead of the Cheney/rumsfeld/Wolfowitz crew, surprisingly enough right in time for the election. Hmm, what are the odds?

That's aiming a bit high. We only have 6 months to update their culture from the Stone Age to 2004.

Hey, looked what happened when the Flintstones and the Jetsons met? That worked out, right?

...Although the Flintstones didn't exactly send suicide stone carvers after the Jetsons...And they didn't kill in the name of Allah...and...well...

Ok, bad example. But I do think this is a good idea.

Smells like panic.

Of course, if we hadn't invaded in the first place, we wouldn't even be in this mess.

Remember WMD's?

Seeing's how due to political reasons, they won't commit enough troops to get the job done,
how what they've tried hasn't worked as advertised,
the fact that we're still in Kosovo 10 years later,
and the timing of the conventions,
plus the overall fucking up of this administration,
this is all just propaganda, and bad, transparent propaganda at that.
