UN leaders draw up secret blueprint for postwar Iraq
From James Bone in New York

US forces will hand over three months after Saddam is defeated
 
THE United Nations has drawn up a confidential plan to establish a post-Saddam government in Iraq in a move that suggests its leaders now consider war all but inevitable.
The plan, obtained by The Times, has been produced in great secrecy over the past month, even though Security Council approval of a “war resolution” hangs in the balance.

The UN is breaking a taboo, and arguably breaching its charter, by considering plans for Iraq’s future governance while it deals daily with President Saddam Hussein’s regime as a legitimate member.

I bet there is a huge red circle on it that says "New France" inside it..

if it's a "secret" how do we know about it ?

BTW, the UN would be stupid if they didn't have a plan ready

If they aren't going to approve the war, then IMHO they have no business making decisions on what happens there afterwards.

One of the things they want to insure is that the US doesn't get full control of oil after a war.

Actually, I'll wager we asked them to do it.

Having the UN setting up the government is better than us doing it, trust me.
