Aww Cow, don't cry. Just another instance of you being WRONG and the wacky "conspiracy theorist" being RIGHT. I'm still surprised you didn't see the Americans stopping to this level to install the government they NEED in the area. It wasn't exactly a leap of faith based on historical patterns and the beliefs of the neo-cons.

So, you take a news story with phrases and words like
"a secret finding" and "a
"proposal" and
" . . but not necessarily to go so far as to rig the elections" and turn it into yet another vast conspiracy theory?
That's called "grasping at straws."
What you've done is laid in front of us an excellent example of checks and balances in the American political system, apparently, unbelievably, working as it should.
Without a doubt, somewhere in the vastness of the system, are "secret findings," and "proposals" for military action against North Korea, Iran and Syria as well.
That doesn't mean they'll see the light of day either.
If anything, this goes to my original premise that it would be monumentally stupid and against USA interests to do anything but offer free and fair elections in Iraq, which, contrary to your own hopes, appears to be the majority opinion among representatives of both political parties in the USA.
You're something else man!!
My friend, you need to learn something about the Libertarian movement.
Now you've done it. Flame of Liberty is going to be all over you like a cheap tent at midnight.
