#1 Let the current GC stay on, as a senate of sorts, and then start to build the house. An executive in an Arab country without goon squads, I dunno.

After the house is built then a new senate. Let the new senate and house provide for an executive, whatever that may be.

#2 It sounds more and more like trying to herd cats as per regards the GC and Brahimi and whatever connections they have with the state dept/washington. Personally I say dump em all, and let the military do a standard occupation for awhile, at least that way we don't have to pussyfoot around with the media regarding how we're not really occupying the country, but really occupying the country, or how we have to listen to islamic sensitivies about every single friggin detail. Lets stop being the nice guys, nice and docile doesn't win wars, being more ruthless than the other guy does.

P.S. Yes I'm fed up with the media, the UN and the state dept in general and most politicians for that matter. :P

#3 I wonder if Brahimi's main job isn't to cover up the Oil-for-Terror scam.

#4 I think that "someone" has hit the nail on the head. Brahimi wants to put his sunni "arab brothers" in charge so they can cozy up to the UN to shut down all this "freedom nonsense" and bury the "Oil for Food" files. The real question is why we and the Kurds put up with him.
