IRAQ PUPPET REGIME BEGINS TODAY
U.S. transfers sovereignty to
Iraqi government ahead of schedule

From Reuters via the Houston Chronicle:

The U.S.-led coalition transferred sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government today, speeding up the move by two days in an apparent bid to surprise insurgents who may have tried to sabotage the step toward self rule.

Legal documents handing over sovereignty were handed over by U.S. governor L. Paul Bremer to interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi in a ceremony in the heavily guarded Green Zone.

"This is a historical day," Allawi said during the ceremony. "We feel we are capable of controlling the security situation."

And how do I know it's a puppet regime, you may ask? Two reasons. First, the US military is still in Iraq to provide "security," which is rather ironic because the only things that need to be secured, as far as I can tell, are the security-providing US military along with the White House's Iraqi puppets. In other words, this new government is a joke because Iraq is still occupied by its invaders. What the hell kind of sovreignty is it when it's at the end of a gun barrel?

Second, Bush has chosen a seasoned puppeteer to be America's new ambassador to this joke regime: John Negroponte long ago proved his worth as a stealth proconsul while he was ambassador to Honduras during President Reagan's bloodthirsty games in Central America during the first half of the 1980s. Negroponte was instrumental in training and directing the sadistic and far right-wing Contras in their US sponsored terrorist campaign against Nicaragua. He also was a big part of major human rights abuses in Honduras itself.

So long, Saddam: Iraqis, meet your new Saddam, John Negroponte! Get ready for a new round of torture that's going to make Abu Ghraib look like a cakewalk. Homosexual humiliation? That's kid stuff. Try cattle prods, razor blades, mutilation, and plain, old-fashioned murder on a massive scale.
