The United States and Britain circulated a revised resolution on post-occupation Iraq (news - web sites) Tuesday that would give the new interim government control over the Iraqi army and police and end the mandate for the multinational force by January 2006 at the latest.

The new draft was introduced at a council meeting just hours after the full composition of the interim government was announced in Baghdad. Russia, France, Germany and other council nations have said they want to see whether this government is acceptable to the more than 20 million Iraqis before they adopt a resolution.

Many council members also want to consult with the new leadership on the text, and Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari was heading to New York to press the council for full sovereignty for the country.

The new draft does put an expiration date on the mandate for the multinational force — the installation of a constitutionally elected government, which isn't expected until December 2005 or January 2006.

1. I seriously doubt the Iraqis will wait that long

Average life span of Puppet leaders installed by BFEE is substantially less then that

Don't hold your breath. We'll be there for years.
