In Iraq, Edwards supported the war to remove Saddam Hussein from power, and he has been an outspoken proponent of a strong US commitment to help the Iraqi people rebuild their lives and develop rule of law and democracy.

Edwards believes that the United States cannot rebuild Iraq alone, and must bring other countries and institutions into this important effort.

We should rebuild Iraq with allies by our side, and with a real plan to win the peace. We should immediately take the American face off this occupation by giving civilian control to the United Nations; give the Iraqi people more control over their destinies; and seek allies for a larger security force in Iraq.

I believe that we have a responsibility to support our troops and help rebuild Iraq. The Bush administration's plan has failed to bring our allies into the effort and empower the Iraqi people.

To rebuild Iraq, I will immediately turn over oversight of the civilian authority to the United Nations and give our allies a seat at the table. The U.N. must play a central role in helping Iraq become safe and secure, as well as training Iraqi security forces.

I also believe that NATO must be involved - as I have argued for over a year.

I will establish specific timetables to transfer authority to the Iraqis to give them more control over their economy, civilian authority, and security, and to help them create a new government that defends their freedom and represents their diversity.

I will establish an independent oversight commission to ensure that the contract process is competitive, fair, and transparent.

3. "ensure that the contract process is competitive, fair, and transparent"

Hey Edwards, while you're making the "steal the oil from Iraq" contract procces competitive, can you make sure that each Iraqi - and each American, gets some stock in those corporations? If the taxpayers are going to PAY for rebuilding Iraq, and Iraqs going to be privatized, how come the voters can't get in on the action? I'm willing to split it with the Iraqis themselves...

5. I haven't heard any candidate suggest this...
