MEMORANDUM
TO: All
Plain Talk Readers
RE: Possible
Eventual Pull-Out of U.S. and Allied Troops from Iraq
1.
It is evident
from our prior Plain Talks on related subjects, as well as from the
current confirming news, that an eventual pull-out of U.S. and allied troops
from Iraq may be highly probable.
2.
Regarding a
pull-out, in the midst of an extending and ongoing civil war in Iraq, –our
announcements on that subject must be clear and will not require any apologies.
3.
The United States
must do whatever it is going to do promptly, and without such nonsense as the
President’s today’s indication that he is going to send the National Guard to
Iraq.
4.
Bush
automatically is so discredited by what has occurred and is occurring in Iraq,
that something much larger than the partisan Republican or Democratic Parties
must speak for the nation in support of the President in charge of the nation’s
security.
5.
Whatever the
related statement by the United States and U.K., –it should have concurrently
non-partisan top level support of the best leadership minds in America and the
U.K.
6.
The following,
–if approved by the President, might be possible choices for nonpartisan
collaboration.
·
George W. Bush,
President
·
John Kerry,
Presidential Candidate & Senator
·
Dick Cheney, Vice
President
·
John Edwards,
Vice Presidential Candidate & Senator
·
Donald Rumsfeld,
Secretary of Defense
·
Paul Wolfowitz,
Deputy Secretary of Defense
·
Henry Kissinger,
Former Secretary of State
·
George Mitchell,
Former Senator from Maine
·
Rudy Giuliani,
Former Mayor of New York City
·
John McCain,
Senator from Arizona
·
Sam Nunn, Former
Senator from Georgia
·
Ayad Allawi,
Prime Minister of Iraq
To
establish nonpartisanship, a possible inclusion of the very able Hillary
Clinton might be considered, along with any probable opposition.
7. The name
should be: “Allied Council for Peace in Iraq with Honor.”
