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.

S E C R E T LONDON 000793 STATE FOR PM/RSAT, PM/PMAT, EUR E.O. 12958: DECL: 01/27/2015 TAGS: MARR, PREL, MOPS, UNSC, IZ, UK SUBJECT: FUTURE OF IRAQ COALITION REF: STATE 15400 Classified By: POLCOUNS Charles Skinner. Reasons 1.4 (b/d). 1. (S) We delivered reftel points on January 28 to FCO Iraq Policy Unit DepDir for PolMil Gerard Russell. Russell was grateful for the points and exceptionally complimentary of their attention to other coalition partners. The points should help to reassure various countries that USG and HMG officials would be interested in their views as the MNF-I concept and mission was adjusted. 2. (S) Russell noted the reference to the "tentative" February 22-23 MNF-I contributors conference in Bucharest. He planned to inform MOD counterparts later on January 28 of the demarche and ask them about the status of the Bucharest conference. Russell also expressed appreciation that the USG was considering sending appropriate officials to attend HMG's February 17 "Iraq Partners Group" meeting in London, which will include representatives of all coalition partners participating in the UK-led Multinational Division - Southeast (MND-SE). Russell hoped that the meeting could include the latest thinking on MNF-I, including any information available on recommendations from the USG assessment team just returned from Iraq. HMG was still looking at whether an Iraqi military or civilian official could attend the February 17 meeting, with a decision more likely to be made shortly after the Iraqi elections. 2. (S) Russell's supervisor, PolMil Director Jane Marriott, also expressed appreciation for the demarche on January 29 and wondered if Washington was considering a similar message to other key capitals. HMG may pursue this idea during upcoming contacts with USG officials. Visit London's Classified Website: http://www.state.sgov.gov/p/eur/london/index. cfm Johnson
