[ppi] [ppiindia] percepatan penyerahan kedaulatan Irak kejutkan pejuang dan reporter

** Mailing List|Milis Nasional Indonesia PPI-India **

   Karena Pemerintahan Irak sudah disrahkan masih dalam pembangunan 
demokrasi, rasanya Pemerintahan dan kepolisian&kemiliteran Irak 
memerlukan dukungan dunia termasuk arab demi kenetralan dan masa 
depan masyarakat Irak sekaligus Arab. Jangan hanya diberi pendidikan 
latihan oleh asing untuk ada kepentingan&pengaruh saja tapi perlu 
kepentingan bersama meliputi wilayah Arab dan asia bahkan dunia.

wassalam,

Early Iraq Handover Surprises Rebels and Reporters

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Dogs sniffed for explosives, mobile phones were 
impounded and U.S. officials bombarded reporters with contradictory 
orders and scant information just moments before Iraq (news - web 
sites) formally regained sovereign powers. 

Journalists had been hastily summoned for what was billed as U.S. 
administrator Paul Bremer's last news conference before a handover 
not due until Wednesday, but the confusion and tight security 
suggested that something extraordinary was afoot. 

Two days early, Bremer was to dissolve the U.S.-led Coalition 
Provisional Authority (CPA), end more than 14 months of U.S.-British 
occupation and turn over control to an Iraqi interim government led 
by Prime Minister Iyad Allawi. 

An explosion echoed over Baghdad about 90 minutes before the ceremony 
in the heavily fortified Green Zone compound, which contains CPA 
headquarters and some Iraqi government offices. 

There in a small room sat Allawi, Interim President Ghazi al-Yawar, 
Deputy Prime Minister Barham Salih and Iraq's top judge, Medhat al-
Mahmoud, sipping tea or coffee with Bremer and his deputy, British 
special representative David Richmond. 

On a table between Bremer and Allawi, both in dark suits, stood the 
Iraqi flag, inscribed 'Allahu Akbar' (God is Greatest) in Saddam 
Hussein (news - web sites)'s handwriting, along with a vase of 
flowers. 

"This is a historic day, a happy day, a day that all Iraqis have been 
looking forward to," said Yawar, wearing traditional Arab robes, in 
the first of several brief speeches. 

Allawi said his government now felt "in control of the situation, in 
control of the security situation." 

"EX-ADMINISTRATOR" 

Bremer, apologizing for his lack of Arabic, read a short letter 
noting the demise of the coalition authority he headed for 13 months, 
the end of occupation and the assumption of "full sovereign 
authority" by Allawi's government. 

"We welcome Iraq's steps to take its rightful place with sovereignty 
and honor among the free nations of the world. Sincerely, L. Paul 
Bremer, ex-administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority," he 
concluded, to laughter and applause. 

Smiling officials rose to their feet as Bremer handed the letter to 
Mahmoud, the judge, who then handed it to Yawar. 

U.S. media officials had dropped some obscurely worded hints that the 
transfer of power might take place before June 30 -- "Game day will 
be in the next few," said one email Sunday. 

But the timing was known only to half a dozen senior coalition 
officials the night before, a senior official said. 

Bremer said Allawi had asked for the transfer of power to be brought 
forward because Iraqis were ready to take control. But surprising 
anti-U.S. insurgents who have staged a bloody campaign of bombings, 
assassinations and other attacks before the handover was also a 
motive in the change of plan. 

"It was a consideration," said a senior military official. "It has a 
beneficial effect that we will take advantage of and the Iraqi 
security forces will take advantage of." 

Another official in the U.S.-led coalition said Allawi's request to 
accelerate the handover was security-related. 

"He made it clear to Ambassador Bremer that he was considering his 
overall security strategy when he proposed that sovereignty be handed 
over as soon as possible," he said. 

Shortly after the ceremony ended, Bremer headed for the airport and 
left Iraq in a C-130 transport plane. 

There was no word on his immediate destination but one official said 
Bremer would eventually go to Washington to rejoin his family and 
then go on holiday at their home in Vermont.
