After the fiasco of the November election and Baker-Hamilton report, stubborn and besieged Bush wants to throw his last punches before throwing in the towel.

According to informed sources, Bush has decided to replace Prime Minister Al-Maliki with a strong pro-occupation Shiite military commander already nominated by Mr Al-Hakim during his last visit to Washington.

Mr Tariq Al-Hashimi, a Sunni Arab whose visit to Washington was brought forward than originally planned, will be nominated to the Post of President replacing Al-Talibani.

CIA agent, Shiite Dr Ayad Allawi, will be the foreign minister of Iraq fifth occupation government. In the North, Kurdish president, Al-Barzani has already taken over the party of Mr Al-Talibani by appointing his man, Kusrat Rassoul.

In this last experiment Bush aims at the following:

1.) The Iraqi army will recruit members of Al-Hakim Badr brigades, the Kurdish Besh Merga and a number of Sunni and Baathists armed militias.

2.)US military advisors will be placed in all of Iraq ten divisions

3.)The new Iraq army will work to disarm all other armed militias including Al-Mehdi Militia and Al-Qaeda supporters.

4.)Withdrawing the bulk of US forces to 14 bases outside major cities.

5.)Evacuating the green Zone in Baghdad.

6.)Replacing the current US ambassador to Iraq. (I'm assuming Zalmay Khalizad will be replcaced by a Shiite to help negotiate some backdeals with Iran.)

7.)Replacing Gen John Buzid

8.)Increasing the number of US troops to 200,000.
 
9.)Withdrawing from Iraq starting by January 2008.

It seems that Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani has already approved the plan if it ends the American occupation of the country.

Bush plans to announce his latest experiment during the New Year.

The new Iraq strategy is the same as the old Iraq strategy . . . stay the course, support the new government, and improve their security forces.  The only change will be the way it is expressed to the public, which has been the only downfall of the administration.

Don't pay attention to anything that says "according to informed sources."  No name . . . no fact.
