“We gave (Iraq) a ‘power sharing’ UN defined parliamentary government, which was expressly designed to install socialism...”

Really? Why would the most anti-socialist government in recent history do that?

Which ‘anti-socialist’ government are you talking about?

Now, does this sound like a free government for a free, self governing people? How can money be taken from every American's paycheck, and American soldiers die, who pledged to defend freedom, for this international monstrosity of a 'government'? I really do want to know the answer to this.

What is the International Compact with Iraq?

The International Compact with Iraq is an initiative of the Government of Iraq for a new partnership with the international community. The Compact is a five-year national plan that includes benchmarks and mutual commitments from both Iraq and the international community, all with the aim of helping Iraq on the path towards peace, sound governance and economic reconstruction.

The United Nations -- through the Secretary-General’s Special Adviser on the International Compact with Iraq and Other Political Issues, Ibrahim Gambari -- and Iraq have been co-chairs of the preparatory process, which has also had the support of the World Bank.

Role of United Nations

-- The Compact initiative is co-chaired by the Government of Iraq and the United Nations. Other partners include the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and other regional financial institutions.

-- Over the Compact’s lifespan, the United Nations Secretariat, its agencies, funds and programs will continue to support the implementation of the Compact. They will do so through the International Reconstructions Fund Facility for Iraq and the United Nations Country Team Joint Priority Action Plan, designed to deliver direct assistance to basic services that are of vital humanitarian importance to the people of Iraq.

-- The United Nations will support establishing a formal Secretariat for the Compact, working closely with the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, as the focal point of the Government.
