10/18 "The group studying defense policy and institutions expected
problems if the Iraqi Army was disbanded quickly a step L. Paul
Bremer III, the chief American civil administrator in Iraq, took.
The working group recommended that jobs be found for demobilized
troops to avoid having them turn against allied forces as some
are believed to have done."

\_ I'm sure. Did you know that we've attempted to pre-plan for
literally ten of thousands of scenarios for various world events
over the years? For just about *any* event there's some government
wonk in a small shared cube that wrote a document saying that
whatever happened would have happened. And five others who said
some other thing would happen. Your tax dollars at work. -U.Sam.
\_ Yea but this seems to be a major State Department study
involving a wide spectrum of Iraqi experts:
"Beginning in April 2002, the State Department project assembled
more than200 Iraqi lawyers, engineers, business people and
other experts into 17 working groups to study topics ranging
from creating a new justice system to reorganizing the
military to revamping the economy."
\_ In China during the imperial times, civilians' revolt per se usually
doesn't pose a serious treat to the political establishment.
It's usually the civilians' revolt mixed with disbanded army /
deserted military units which would seriously threaten the
ruling regime. It's unforunated that those who in charge of
Iraq naive enough to think they could disband the old regime's
Army without serious consequences. Now, these disgruntal boys, with
military training, armed with unguarded military-grade weapons,
are going to make US troops' life as difficult as possible. |
