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 ABU DHABI 001668 SIPDIS STATE FOR NEA/FO, NEA/NGA AND NEA/ARP CENTCOM FOR POLAD AMBASSADOR LITT NSC FOR ABRAMS E.O. 12958: DECL: 4/7/13 TAGS: EAID, EFIN, ECON, PREL, IZ, TC SUBJECT: UAE EXPECTS CLOSED-DOOR "DAY AFTER" DISCUSSION AT GCC FM MEETING 1. (U) Classified by Ambassador Marcelle M. Wahba for reasons 1.5 (B) and (D). 2. (S) In conversations on April 5 and April 6 with the Ambassador, UAE Armed Forces Chief of Staff LTG Shaykh Muhammad bin Zayid Al-Nahyan and MFA Minstate Shaykh Hamdan bin Zayid both expected that the GCC Foreign Ministers would broach the Iraq "day after" issue but that there would be no public commentary on the discussion. As for GCC participation in any post-conflict peacekeeping operations, Hamdan said he expected an invitation to be extended -- either to the Arab League or the GCC -- by an Iraqi entity, such as the Iraqi Interim Authority. This would be more palatable than a USG/coalition invitation, in his view. 3. (S) Addressing overall day after concerns, Hamdan advised that we reach out to the Iraqi tribes and clans who would put forward their leaders to participate in the Interim Authority. Above all, Hamdan emphasized that the Iraqis need to be seen as choosing their leaders. This cannot be a USG- engineered process, at least not overtly. If those put forward are seen to have been imposed by the USG, we will only feed further anti-American extremism. Hamdan recognized the need for the U.S. to play a strong role in post-conflict security and maintenance of the peace but noted the importance of having a public Iraqi face to these efforts. WAHBA
