U.N. Has Secret Plan For Post-War Iraq

UNITED NATIONS -- The U.N. has secretly drawn up a plan to establish a post-Saddam Hussein government in Iraq.

That's according to the London Times, which reports the 60-page plan was ordered by a Canadian deputy of Secretary-General Kofi Annan.

The paper says the plan calls for the U.N. to step in about three months after successful U.S.-led military action to oust Saddam. The world body would steer Iraq toward self-government -- a scenario similar to what's going on in Afghanistan right now.

The plan reportedly resists British pressure to set up a full-scale U.N. administration. And it says the U.N. should avoid taking direct control of Iraqi oil or staging elections under U.S. military occupation.

Instead, it calls for a U.N. assistance mission to help Iraq establish a new regime. And it calls for the U.N. to immediately appoint a senior official as U.N. special representative in post-war Iraq.

RIGHT...WE and our British, Australian and other allies and brothers in the coalition do the hard stuff, and the UN comes in after the dust settles to groan and whine over inconsequentialities while the Iraqi people wait for a "decision"? NOT! :grrr:

Consider this: someone else will go in to do the dirty work; we'll take the heat but keep quite.

While I understand the emotion of not wanting the UN to be involved when they didn't support us, there may be a lot of good in having a UN presence in post war Iraq. Let's make sure we're thinking with our heads and not our hearts!
