I wonder if what I read on another thread had anything to do with this "agreement?" It's the one about our post-Saddam plans where the U.S. military would govern Iraq for a time, then turn it over to a U.S. civilian -- maybe a former governor or ambassador -- then slowly changing over to Iraqi control after a period. The article was pretty blunt . . . evidently GW's told Iran and others who might want Iraq's oil to bite a big one. He's also told the Iraqi exiles they won't be installed on any thrones anytime in the near future.
I wonder what all this had to do with this agreement?
