The coalition will naturally have the leading role for a period of time

The French and other foreign papers have been taking the liberty of saying the United Nations will be in charge of Iraq. This clears that up! Dr. Rice can be trusted to tell it like it is.

Yes, and it has also been made clear by Dr. Rice that the Defense Department is the lead agency, NOT the State Department. Bush has seen who can deliver, and it wasn't Secretary Powell.

Congress has made clear that the Russians, French, and Germans are frozen out of any American-funded reconstruction money as far as contracts go.

Everything is coming up roses.

The Turks should be put in charge of cleaning up sand, and the French should be put in charge of cleaning latrines.

I just wish she'd called the French and the Germans whores like Wesley Pruden did in the Washington Times -- but Condi is too much a lady. "...(paraphrasing) the French and the Germans standing like whores waiting for the bordellos to open after the conflict ends.."

Coming from Wes Pruden, that has a ring to it."

With all the bad info floating around, I decided this article needed to be posted!

I almost flipped when I heard the State Department was going to be put in charge. I have had it with diplomats for a long time! All they do is talk, talk, talk -- we need someone who will take action!

Condi does rule! I am so impressed with her!

Looks to me like Post #5 by DED has the perfect job for the French!

Ahhhh....It's so nice to have the adults in charge. And such intelligent ones too.

After the initial phase, and as more and more functions are turned over to the interim authority, ORHA will shift to an advisory role. The office itself, the ORHA, is a multinational coalition effort. The Department of Defense is the lead U.S. agency in this effort. Coalition governments and Iraqis will also be involved at every step.

Thank you. This clears it up nicely.

I guess you're right.
They'd throw in the towel half way through the job.

Condi clears up the confusion over who is in charge of post-war Iraq. It is DoD, according to her.
I hope Kana Makiya could feel better now.

Your welcome! I thought we might as well hear from Dr. Rice who probably knows as much as anyone in the Administration!
