KR – This happened in Algeria in the 90′s and Turkey has a history of military coups, the military installs a secular government. War skeptics brought up these as examples, and were attacked for their thoughts. But Algeria and Turkey weren’t occupied when the military intervened, if the Iraqis have a coup while being occupied by the US, the other ME “democracies” won’t be happy. What happens if there’s a coup and Sadr is installed as Iraqis strongman?

Rudi- Don’t forget that the president also told us that democracy over there may not resemble democracy over here. So if there’s a military coup or installation of a pro-U S corrupt puppet, Bush still gets credit for spreading the winds of freedom throughout the ME.

LOL – A military coup that puts in a strongman/dictator would send a GREAT message to Iran. Mohammad Reza Pahlavi is dead, what is his son(Reza Pahlavi) up to, maybe he can rule over both Iran and Iraq.

I thought that the Bush doctrine was suppose to spread Democrat style government throughout the ME?

1. Allawi was incompetent and corrupt. Have we already forgotten how al Maliki was supposed to strengthern the central government in the wake of Allawi’s ineptitude?

2. What would the military coup represent? The military is much riddled with sectarianism, only slightly less than the police

3. Is the US to engineer another regime change as the world watches? Nice message to Iran and Venezuela that would be..

IMO, some lobbying firms shouls stay out of this entirely.

Proving yet again Iraq is a puppet democracy.
This should not be “Allawi’d”
