		Instead, caucuses would be held in the country's 18 provinces to choose representatives to serve on a transitional assembly, which would form a provisional government that would assume sovereignty by next summer.

	Wolfowitz, to House Nat'l Security Committee, on Iraq Policy

		The heart of the problem is that the United States is unable or unwilling to pursue a serious policy in Iraq, one that would aim at liberating the Iraqi people from Saddam's tyrannical grasp and free Iraq's neighbors from Saddam's murderous threats.
		A provisional government of free Iraq, based in the US-protected zone, would organize and promulgate a political program for the future of Iraq.

		In the case of the elevator crash at Al Hillah hospital, the contractor had been paid in full, even though 20 percent of the work was not complete, which meant there was no way to hold the contractor accountable.

		A transitional government would also engage the Iraqi people in a democratic process well before the fall of the Saddam regime, while the dictator's ouster through military intervention would in no way guarantee popular participation, it adds.
		The international community could then throw its weight behind the new government by giving the provisional government Iraq's seat in all international bodies, publicly siding with this more legitimate authority.
		The fact that drafts for such a constitution already exist, and that the country's constitution of 1925 was never formally repealed would shorten the process, it adds.
