Powell says France's proposals on Iraq "totally unrealistic"

GENEVA, Sept 13 (AFP) - US Secretary of State Colin Powell said the
latest French proposals on Iraq were "totally unrealistic", shortly
before he arrived in Geneva for talks with the other permanent members
of the UN Security Council early Saturday.
 Speaking to journalists accompanying him on his plane, Powell said
the proposals by French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin,
especially for a calendar for a return to Iraqi sovereignty, were
"interesting but not executable."
 UN Secretary General Kofi Annan was to meet Saturday with the foreign
ministers of the Security Council's five permanent members to seek a
consensus on how to stabilize and rebuild Iraq.
 Asked about the ideas put forward by de Villepin in the French daily
Le Monde on Friday, Powell was highly critical, declaring: "It's
totally unrealistic. It would be delightful if one could do that, but
one can't do that."
 The French minister had prescribed a rapid transfer of power from the
US-led occupation in Iraq, general elections early next year and an
international conference on reconstruction as conditions for
supporting a new United Nations resolution.
 Powell retorted: "It's easy to toss out nice theories about
sovereignty and occupation, liberation and all that, but as a
practical matter it can't happen in that timeframe."
 "We have done a lot of liberation in Europe after Europeans had
occupied other parts of Europe. We restore sovereignty, we do not deny
freedom or sovereigty to those who own the land," Powell went on.
 "It's (the French proposal) essentially proposing to stop what we are
doing, and we have done too much and invested too much to consider any
such proposal."
 De Villepin, he said, "expressed the view that it is the occupation
that is the problem. But you need that liberating force there for a
period of time to get control of the security situation.
 "They (the French) feel quite strongly about their position.
 "We will see if there is not a language that can bridge this. But I
cannot anticipate us agreeing to any language that would buy into what
Mr de Villepin has been saying."
 The secretary of state said that the reactions within the 15-member
Security Council to the US draft on stabilizing and rebuilding Iraq
had been "generally supportive."
 But "there are a couple of members in the council with a slightly
different point of view, or a great different point of view, that say
let's speed up the transfer of governing authority from the Coalition
provisional authority to an Iraqi entity, and let's make any design of
plan for the political transition and a timetable to be a matter
between the UN representative and the governing council as it grows
into an interim administration.
 "That would not be acceptable to us."
 The Russians, he said were "playing a helpful role. I think they want
to be part of this effort."
 This time, Powell said he did not "visualise any veto situation", in
a reference to threats made earlier by France and Russia.
 But he added: "Vetos I can never predict."
 Washington's proposed wording -- tabled 11 days ago -- calls for a
multinational force implicitly under US command and endorses the
US-installed Iraqi Governing Council (IGC) which is charged with
setting a programme for a constitution and democratic elections.

but as a practical matter it can't happen in that timeframe."
Non puo' accadere in quel lasso di tempo.
Purtroppo la disinformazione del Torrieri ha sempre le gambe piccole :))
