I remember the idea of a temporary military governor being thrown out months ago as one way to handle the interim period. The example given for this was post war Japan. That form of government could very well be administered by the UN.
Of course the US shouldn't impose a puppet government, but there will
have to be an interim government in Iraq before any Democratic process can be implemented, right? Or do we take Iraq, destroy the weapons, and run like hell to let them sort it out? That would be pretty ridiculous.
This is one report, not necessarily the whole truth. People who are quite happy to disbelieve anything the US might say, might want to remember that everyone is capable of lying to achieve their own desired end result. Does the US hold the market on misinformation? A group that's unhappy with the US and backs it by saying that the US plans to control/dominate/enslave a post war Iraq is nothing new. The
bad old US certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to tell the truth before it was already in Bhagdad would it?
I also remember a meeting in England of ousted Iraqis who were meeting to decide how to divide Iraq up.
