What is known is that President Bush, for reasons he has not made clear, has given the Department of Defense primary control over all postwar aid and reconstruction, a role that has sparked discomfort across a broad, bipartisan spectrum in Congress and among other governments.

Questions about the creation and composition of an Iraqi interim authority rose to the surface last week after reports that Rumsfeld had proposed it be established immediately and installed in southern Iraq before the end of the war. Rumsfeld argued that appointing the body now would "put an Iraqi face" on the country's immediate future, U.S. officials said, and would deflect criticism that the United States plans to exert sole control.

But in Afghanistan, the entire process was supervised by the United Nations, and Rice made clear that is not the current U.S. plan. "I would just caution that Iraq is not East Timor, or Kosovo, or Afghanistan," she said, all of which established new administrations under U.N. auspices. "Iraq is unique."

That appears to contradict the procedure advocated by Blair's government, and seems certain not to be recognized by the United Nations.

British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said in a speech on Tuesday that his government will not only "ensure that the United Nations oversees the medium- and long-term international aid program to Iraq," but will seek new Security Council resolutions "to endorse an appropriate post-conflict administration."


Abgesehen davon m�chte ich noch einmal eins betonen: Nichts ist gegen andere Meinungen einzuwenden. Aber ich la� mich ungern als dumm bezeichnen.
