BAGHDAD: The rift between Iraq’s Governing Council and the United States over the nomination of the president erupted in acrimony yesterday, with council members accusing the chief US administrator of trying to railroad them into accepting America’s choice for the post.
Members of the US-appointed Governing Council were on Monday to have finalised candidates for the government that will run Iraq after the United States restores limited sovereignty June 30.
But when they arrived for the meeting at the US administration headquarters, they said they were greeted by a message from administrator Paul Bremer that it was postponed.
“Mr Bremer won’t let the council vote, and he says if we vote, he won’t accept the result,” said Mahmoud Othman, an independent Kurdish council member.
“He is a dictator. I don’t know how he can behave like that. He’s imposing his will on everybody.”

Saddam was a dictator.

Bremer is a colonial viceroy.

7. Mullah Negroponte will be the hatchet man with a direct line to

Henry Kissinger.

Will Iraq end up like Chile or Honduras ?

Mullah Megroponte was personally responsible for carrying out the Reagan administration’s illegal policy of training and arming Contra rebels inside Honduras for the purpose of overthrowing Nicaragua’s Sandinista government. He also oversaw the build-up of the Honduran military, while turning a blind eye to their campaigns of death and torture.

5. Bremer is leaving end of the month. Why not call Chimpy the dictator?

Chimpy is the one who put Bremer into the position. Oh thats right. This stooge wouldn't want to make his master mad at him now would he? Might wake up with a horse head in bed with him. He has probably seen that movie.

11. Who would have imagined it?

The idea, that the political representative of an invading army would be a dictator. It just boggles the mind.
