U.S. Considers Replacing Iraqi Governing Council

HeadlineNov 10, 2003

In other Iraq news, the Washington Post reports the U.S. is now considering replacing the Iraqi Governing Council with another form of governing body. The Bush administration is reportedly upset with the failure of the U.S.-appointed Council to address many of the key problems in Iraq. Among the members on the Council is Ahmed Chalabi, the head of the Iraqi National Congress. One U.S. official told the Washington Post, “We’re unhappy with all of them. They’re not acting as a legislative or governing body and we need to get moving.” The White House is sending former Ambassador Robert Blackwell to Iraq this week. Blackwell is the new National Security Council official overseeing the occupation.
