There is Only One Way to End The War in Iraq, Part 3

III.
As we make plans to cut off funds for continuing to prosecute a war in Iraq, America must simultaneously pursue a dramatically different approach to achieve peace. Here is a five point plan to accompany a cut off of funds:


1. Transfer to the United Nations the authority the United States currently excerises in Iraq. This includes: The United States must ask the United Nations, in cooperation with the Iraqi government, to manage the oil assets of Iraq until Iraq is stabilized. The United Nations, in cooperation with the Iraqi government, must handle all the contracts: No more Halliburton sweetheart deals, No contracts to Bush Administration insiders, No contracts to campaign contributors. All contracts must be awarded under transparent conditions. The United States must ask the United Nations to work to sustain Iraqi self-governance, through assistance with development of the rule of law and constitutional governance. The UN will assist in conducting free and fair elections.

2. The United States will finance a UN-sponsored peacekeeping mission in Iraq and enlist the help of other members of the coalition of nations which participated in the Iraq action.

3. UN troops will rotate into Iraq, and all US troops will come home. The United Nations, through its member nations, in cooperation with member nations from the region, will commit 130,000 peacekeepers to Iraq on a temporary basis until the Iraqi people can maintain their own security.

1. First and foremost in order to stabilize Iraq is to all foreign troops to leave

second is to bring together all Sunni, shi'a, and the Kurds of Iraq to point of negotiations....and as equals and hummer out all their differences as federalists and under one government-rule.

2. Good on Dennis, I knew he could be counted on to have a solution

whether or not it will be acknowledged or not is anybodys guess, I would guess not but the man has his hat screwed on right. I want to see him as the first director of the new Department of Peace.

4. one problem, how do you get the UN to commit

The UN has adopted a you broke it, you fix it attitude towards Bush and Iraq.

5. I think the contracts are where it's at...

and I can not imagine this fiasco coming to an end with out the prize being awarded.

[many a good man]

6. It's laughably absurd

to think there's any chance in hell of putting UN peace keeping troops in Iraq. I love Dennis but this idea really hurts his credibility.
