However, he lamented the whole US approach to dealing with post-war Iraq. "We have a lot of experience with coups d'etat and this one is the worst," he said. "Any colonel in the Iraqi army will tell you that when he does a coup he goes to the broadcasting station with five announcements. "The first one is long live this, down with that. The second one is your new government is this and that. The third is the list of the people to go on retirement. The fourth one, every other official is to report back to work tomorrow morning. The fifth is the curfew." This is usually done within one hour, he added. "Now we are waiting more than a week and still we hear nothing from them." Dammit he is right!
Yes, this is a coup. An entire war for a coup to replace saddam and his henchmen, correct. The replacement of one regime by another. We could an should answer all five points - and we shouldnt need weeks to do it. JMHO. Constitutions can come over time, but you want the ministries online and moving if possible now.
