BREMER FLEES IRAQ

The lies about WMD are now catching up on us as Blair gets drunk in Istanbul.
We went there for oil and bases and to invade Iran and Syria.
This is not now going to work much to The Psychopath of Sabra disappointment.
We can't even hold Iraq.
How long will it be till we are taking the helicopters from the roof of the embassy in the Baghdad enclave?
We are two elections short of an elected Iraqi government dispite of what the Blair propaganda says.
The elections of Jan. 2005 will be postponed after the Nov. elections in the US.
It's all a total mess and the only solution is to get out now.
To do this we need to get rid of Blair.
Mike Tall.

Bremner is in Turkey and returns to Iraq tomorrow
"The lies about WMD are now catching up on us as Blair gets drunk in Istanbul."
The evidence of WMDs HAS been found and what proof have you that Blair is drunk ?
"We went there for oil and bases and to invade Iran and Syria."
The purpose of the action was regime change, an evil despot has been overthrown. There is no evidence of an invasion of Syria and Iran being contemplated
"We can't even hold Iraq. "
Coallition troops are in full military control of Iraq
"How long will it be till we are taking the helicopters from the roof of the embassy in the Baghdad enclave?"
Not in our lifetime, the two situations are completely different
"We are two elections short of an elected Iraqi government dispite of what the Blair propaganda says. "
The process of establishing elections is well advanced and the UN in happy with the progress
"The elections of Jan. 2005 will be postponed after the Nov. elections in the US. "
On what do you base this beyond your prejudice ?
"It's all a total mess and the only solution is to get out now. "
and abandon the Iraqi people to a bunch of derranged Muslim extremists ? Don't be silly.
"To do this we need to get rid of Blair. "
What ? How will a new British PM alter the situation in Iraq ?

Why because I refuse to follow the tired old line about the "Glorious Iraqi Resistence", because despite what the US's real motivation was for war (and let's face it none of us really know) I am happy they won because it means Saddam has gone.
Take the time to speak to Iraqi people in the UK, I have and while they are keen to see the Iraqi people take full control not one of them was against the war and most importantly they are keen to see the Coallition troops stay until stability is achieved. As a point of reference do some reading about the time it took to achieve full stability in post war Germany.
The original post was flawed and in parts just plain silly.

Get in the real-world Pete, we went for the oil. Invading another country to force a change in the leadership is a war crime.
>Coallition troops are in full military control of Iraq
Yes if you call rape and torture full military control
>and abandon the Iraqi people to a bunch of derranged Muslim extremists ? Don't be silly.
I think we should let the Iraqi people decide that one Pete don't you? Or do you think you know what's best for them?

"Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Robin.
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways,
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!
He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp,
Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken,
To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin!
His head smashed in and his heart cut out
And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged
And his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off
And his pen...
[after meeting the three headed knight]
Brave Sir Robin ran away,
Bravely ran away, away.
When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin.
[later on still]
He is packing it in and packing it up
And sneaking away and buggering up
And chickening out and pissing off home,
Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge."

Sovereignty Handed Over to Iraq

Bremer hands over Iraqis sovereignty and leaves Iraq
Pool report by AFP
US Ambassador Paul Bremer flew out of Baghad international airport on
a US military C130 plane at about 12:30 pm on Monday.
He had earlier handed a formal document declaring Iraq a sovereign
nation to chief justice Medhat Mahmud, Prime Minister Iyad Allawi and
President Sheikh Ghazi al-Yawar.
Bremer, smiling broadly and flanked by 4-5 armed guards, was escorted
to the plane by deputy prime minister Barham Salih.
He declined to comment to the small group of journalists present and
shook hands with Salih before climbing the steps to the plane, which was
a normal C130 without any noticeable finery.
Salih said: "The onus of responsiblity from now on will be on the
people of Iraq and the Iraqi government to deliver and the challenges
that are facing us."
Asked why the handover ceremony was brought forward from Wednesday:
"It was late. We should have had sovereignty from the day after
liberation. But better late than never."
He said he hoped Iraqi and international forces would come together
to beat the insurgency.
He said the events of the past year had given "the people of Iraq an
opportunity of freedom ending tyranny ending genocide mass killings ...
giving us the chance to build a new nation at peace with itself and its
neighbours."
"He is headed back towards the United States," said Stratcom director
Robert Tappan of Bremer.
Earlier, Bremer handed full sovereignty to Iraq in a low-key ceremony
held amid tight security at the prime minister's offices in the Green
Zone. He sat at right angles to Allawi with a bowl of flowers also
containing the old Iraqi flag.
He handed the document declaring Iraqi became a sovereign nation on
June 28 to chief justice Medhat Mahmud, Prime Minister Iyad Allawi and
President Sheikh Ghazi al-Yawar. The officials then shook ha! nds as the
small group of people present -- about 30 including a dozen diplomats,
officials and politicians and journalists -- applauded.
Yawar was the first to speak.
"This is the day that we regained sovereignty this is a start of a
happy day for us in Iraq," he said.
Then Allawi: "This is a historic day. This transfer of sovereignty to
an Iraqi government and the Iraqi people, we have been working hard with
Ambassador Bremer to achieve this as soon as possible."
He also said he would announce new legal measures later in the day.
"The security situation of our country now lies in our hands."
"They will be delivered today and tomorrow ... I will tell you
later."
Finally Bremer: "It's a great pleasure to be here this day to
formally hand over sovereignty on behalf of the coalition."
"You have said and we have agreed that you are ready for sovereignty
we f! eel as temporary custodians ... to return sovereignty today."
"As I leave Iraq I am confident in the future," he added to applause
from the participants, including his US deputy Richard Jones and British
special representative David Richmond.
A coalition official said there would be swearing-in ceremony to
invest each of the ministers with full powers at 3:00 pm near the prime
minister's offices on Monday.
The chief justice will officiate, he said.
Another coalition official said Allawi had insisted on bringing the
handover forward because Iraq was ready for sovereignty ahead of
schedule.
He said the last ministries (defence, interior, finance, justice)
were transferred on Thursday.
But a senior coalition military official said security was a
"consideration"
