| Description | White House Welcomes Brahimi's Iraq Caretaker Government Plan
The Honolulu Advertiser
The Bush administration on Thursday welcomed a U.N. envoy's plan for a caretaker government to succeed the U.S. administration in Baghdad. Secretary of State Colin Powell called envoy Lakhdar Brahimi's proposal "very sound." But he also told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. more consultations with the United Nations and other interested parties were needed. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said it was premature for the administration to endorse the Brahimi outline. The White House has no objections so far to what Brahimi has proposed, an administration official said on condition of anonymity. However, the official said not all details of the proposal have yet been determined. The New York Times is reporting in Friday editions that the administration had accepted the outlines of the proposal. The newspaper quoted President Bush's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, as saying, "I don't see anything at this point in what he's proposing that would be of concern to us." The administration's acceptance of the U.N. involvement in plotting Iraq's future marks an accelerated effort to achieve broader responsibility for transition in postwar Iraq. |
