Holding Wolfowitz to his word
In a new yorker article Wolfowitz is quoted as stating the following objectives for Iraq.
January 2005 - Iraq will hold elections.
February to November 2005 - Newly elected transitional goverment will write a permanent constitution.
November 2005 - American forces will have trained several Iraqi Army divisions and fifty or more battalions of the Iraqi National Guard (the domestic stability force).
December 2005 - Iraq will hold elections for a permanent fully independent government.
Ambitious? Time will tell.
Oh and anyone looking for a reason from Wolfowitz to kill 1200 Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis, here it is: "It is something of a test, We can’t be sure they’ll pass. And they’re not going to pass with an A-plus. I mean, if they do Romanian democracy and the country doesn’t break up that’ll be pretty good."
