Here's some more generalized News Speak stuff...

It is considered very cool at this point to discuss what will be done in reconstructing Iraq by various key players (and good guys) such as the USA, the UK, Haliburton, the U.N., relief organizations, etc...after REGIME CHANGE has been achieved (see News Speak Manual above for full definition of regime change).

It is not considered cool at all to discuss what will be done if regime change does not occur...in other words, if the war somehow fails to achieve its stated objectives and bogs down...or, God forbid, fails entirely...or even mutates into a wider conflict, ultimately threatening many nations!

This is not discussed much at all, because it is unthinkable to the good guys. Besides, the "bad guys" are outnumbered 85,000 to one in high tech firepower, so how could it possibly go awry, right????

Therefore, do not discuss it. Don't even think about it. Forget I even mentioned it! Whew! (wiping sweat off brow)
