Not a big surprise to hear such noises coming from a puppet of the US.


Hoshyar Zebari is no puppet

He is a member of the KDP (Kurdistan Democratic Party) who was
fighting the regime of Saddam Hussein long before they were perceived
as a threat to the USA. Having seen his own people gassed and bombed
by the Iraqi regime is apt to colour his views a little and he has been
VERY critical of the US from time to time. In fat he has been calling
for the UN to take command of the situation rather than have a
US military governor calling the shots.

I'd suggest that calling a man who spent 15 years as a guerilla
fighter in the mountains of Kurdistan a puppet was a cheap shot
but that's just too much of an understatement.
