#1 - I guess we'll be witnessing the uproar you expect shortly.

US agrees to international control of its troops in Iraq

There have been no specifics yet about how the international community would control the mainly American and British forces in Iraq. Nato remains the only strong possibility because it would provide international credibility while leaving control with a military organisation which Washington dominates.

Nato has already proved its willingness to act outside its traditional sphere of operations by taking a role in Afghanistan. But to allow it to deploy in Iraq would mean getting the approval of all 19 Nato allies including France, Germany and Belgium, all staunch opponents of the war.

They would need to be satisfiedthat the UN had been given a sufficient role in the political control of Iraq. Diplomats say that the US and Britain will need to be certain that no one will block an Iraq mission before they make a request.




#2 - Kucinich describes a process, similar to the one used in Kosovo, whereby control issues would be worked out. The goal is to get all of them out, since we're so hated there and are sure to inspire hostility if not outright violence. However DK doesn't live in a fantasyland as so many wish to believe, and that being the case his plan contains all kinds of such details.
