Ahhhh, Amos, if Allawi can't cut it as "our man in Iraq" they can always bring back the last "our man in Iraq". He oughtta be well rested and ready to do what he did as long as we *needed* him: say "Yes, Sir, and when's pay day?"

The first choice for Alawi's position was Adnan Pachachi but he turned the job down because of objections from others in the governing council. So Alawi has the position because of the members of the governing counsel.

Where are the facts about who wrote Alawi's speech?

Who wrote Kerry's famous Gengiss Kahn speech? Adam Walinsky anti-war activist and former speech writer for Robert F. Kennedy.

If Saddam was indeed our man that went bad, that is all the more reason to remove him.

Who says he "went bad", Old Guy?

He was always bad 'cept he went too long without supervision and support from his masters...

Who do you think should be in Alawi's place? I think you should.

Well, given my drithers I'd rather have Saddam still in power and have the somw 1200 Americans and upwards of 20,000 Ieagis still alive, not to mention the tens upon thousands of folks who have been seriously injured.

But that doesn't seem to be an option.

In charge is a difficult question to answer because no matter who it is as soon as the US and the coilition of the cohersed leave, Iraq is going to fall into a bloody civil war...

You see, Old Guy, the only guy who was preventing the various factions from *having at it* was Saddam. Do I approve of his meathods? Well, no.

The problem with Alawi is that he does not represent the Iraqi people. He wasn't really elected by the Iraqi people but by a council of handpicked folks who are in general support of the US.

It's too bad Bush has so pissed off the iternational coommunity with his arrogance because it really makes it hard for an international group to be sold on helping stabilize Iraq while things shake out. Semocarcy is probably not a realistic goal here.

What could happen, but won't as long as the US continues to shrug its sholders at the Isreali/Palestinian war, is the implimentation of the Saudi Peoposal (Mitchell Proposal), which would open up communications in the Middle East and put more of the responsibility for stability in thre region on the regions various nations. But this will take a monumental change in philosphy in the US foriegn policies which the current John Wayne gang ain't interested in. They like the microphone but ain't much into listening to noone esle but themselves. That's what got them in this mess to begin with. Cloesed mindedness...

So, Old Guy, I can't give you an answer other than what I have presented. These things will have to come about in order for Iraq to answer it's own questions. Hand pickin' other folks leaders ain't my game.

OG: You ask lots of questions and don't give any answers. Assuming Bush has a functioning brain, do you think a blue funk of seven minutes is reasonable time for a President to sit and get lost in his thoughts while his country is, as he was told, under attack?

Well, Donnie Rumsfield has allready said its too dangerous for real elections. When he was pinned down about the fact that countrywide elections can not take place he said "Nothin's perfect"...

Well, we agree on that...
