US embassy cable - 03SANAA2770

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. (C) On November 22, Charge, accompanied by Pol/Econ Chief, 
called on FM Qirbi to deliver ref b oral message.  Qirbi said 
he was "very encouraged" by the U.S. statements on Iraq, and 
that he viewed the program for transition as a "preliminary 
roadmap" that he hoped would gain momentum and shift the 
focus in Iraq from the military sphere to the political. 
 
2. (C) FM Qirbi recommended that the U.S. provide logistical 
support for the Iraqi Governing Council to control the 
security situation, as Iraq could enlist the help of other 
Arab and Muslim states if it were clear that Iraqis had 
assumed responsibility for maintaining security.  He added 
that he would like to see a clearer role for the United 
Nations.  In that regard, Charge promised to send Qirbi text 
of AMB Negroponte,s excellent 11/21 statement (ref a).
