Is this guy on auto-talk mode now?"I'm sure the Iraqi government is going to want ...coalition forces here for its own security for some time to come," he told ABC television.
...
"We have some determined opponents. Particularly the international terrorists who have been coming into the country in the last four or five months," Mr Bremer told Fox television.
"But if you look at the polls here [in Baghdad] ... they tell us that a large majority of the Iraqi people want American coalition forces to stay here until the place is stabilised," he said.
...
"We will write into that constitution exactly the kinds of guarantees that were not in Saddam's constitution," Mr Bremer told ABC's "This Week" from Baghdad.
"We'll have a bill of rights. We'll recognize equality for all citizens. We'll recognise an independent judiciary. We'll talk about a federal government.
"All of these things will be in the interim constitution which will also provide in a limited time - probably two years - for a permanent constitution to be written that also embodies those American values."
I FULLY believe you, sir.

It's convenient that we're in this "mess" isn't it? We get to stay there, with troops, under some cover of legitimacy (we hope) with our good friend chalabi "elected" to be "president", yet no binding constitution to get in the way of us spending our
bribesreconstruction funds on whoever and whatever we want? Doesn't look so grim after all!
