	General Jay Garner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Jay Garner, the retired US general who will oversee humanitarian relief and reconstruction in postwar Iraq, is president of an arms company that provides crucial technical support to missile systems vital to the US invasion of the country.
		Garner's business background is causing serious concerns at the United Nations and among aid agencies, who are already opposed to US administration of Iraq if it comes outside UN authority, and who say appointment of an American linked to the arms trade is the 'worst case scenario' for running the country after the war.
		Lieutenant-General Jay Garner, the co-ordinator for civilian administration in Iraq, put his name in October 2000 to a statement blaming Palestinians for the outbreak of Israeli-Palestinian violence and saying that a strong Israel was an important security asset to the United States.

		Garner is still, despite his post in the Middle East, the President of SY Coleman, which provides technical support for missile systems currently in use in the Iraq war.
		Garner and SY Coleman will soon be sued by competitor DESE Research, which claims that Garner slandered DESE executives in meetings with military contracting officials who had been in Garner's command in order to win the contracts for SY.
		Garner was Reagan's top man on Star Wars and, after the 1991 Gulf War, told Congress that the Patriot missile defense system a success - even though it knocked down just one out of 88 Scud missiles the Iraqis launched at Israel and Saudi Arabia, according to the General Accounting Office.

	Sun Herald - 04/24/03
		Jay Garner, 65, will bring all of his leadership qualities, all of his values, all of his mother's dreams to bear on a country badly in need of a leader, a hero, a miracle worker.
		Jay Garner enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1960 and began a storied career that took him through two tours in Vietnam, a stint in the first Gulf War, and an appointment as supervisor of resettlement of Kurdish refugees after that war.
		Garner's stint with the Kurds 12 years ago lasted only three months, but in that short time they came to love him enough to carry him off on their shoulders when it was time for him to leave.

		Garner, who was making a six-figure salary, paid about $500,000 for a house in the swank Avila subdivision in October, according to Hillsborough County property records.
		In fact, Garner drew praise from board members for making the books better reflect reality: Part of last year's loss was due to a restatement of membership dues that had been collected in 1999 but had been counted as 2000 revenue.
		Garner also is given credit for creating a five-year plan for the chamber's future and bringing in consultants who told the chamber how to improve its recruitment of members and new companies.

	Jay M. Garner - SourceWatch
		In 2000, Garner signed a statement by the conservative Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, praising Israel for its handling of the Palestinian intifada, blaming Palestinians for the outbreak of Israeli-Palestinian violence, and saying that a strong Israel was an important security asset to the United States.
		After retiring as a three-star general in 1997, Garner became president of SY Technology, a Virginia provider of communications and targeting systems for missiles (which was acquired by L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. in 2002).
		Garner sued Baker for defamation which was eventually settled out-of-court, just before the announcement of becoming head of the Pentagon's newly created Office of Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance in January 2003, in anticipation of a U.S. invasion of Iraq, from which post he will become the civil ruler of Iraq, under U.S. military oversight.

		Garner spent two weeks in Baghdad as civil administrator before the White House named L. Paul Bremer to take over that post, representing a military-to-civilian handoff.
		Garner retired from active duty in 1997, but Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said he was brought back into the fray to "begin the process of thinking through all of the kinds of things that would be necessary in the early period," particularly in terms of humanitarian assistance and civil affairs.
		Another emerging point of contention surrounding Garner’s post in Iraq is that he was one of more than 40 retired U.S. military leaders to sign his name to a letter amid renewed Middle East violence in 2000.

	Jay Garner’s Missing Link by Karen Kwiatkowski
		Much is made of retired Army Lieutenant General Jay Garner’s suitability for the job as U.S. viceroy of Iraq.
		Garner’s linkages to pro-Likud party think-tanks and military contractors are sure to raise the eyebrows of news junkies and the ire of the Arab world, if he lasts long enough in the role.

	What Jay Garner knows now
		Garner came to the job with what was thought to be a similar mission under his belt -- Operation Provide Comfort, a largely successful humanitarian relief operation for Iraq's Kurdish minority in northern Iraq, who were targets of Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons campaign 12 years ago.
		Garner believes Iraq will be well on its feet in two years and an "entirely different country" in five -- one that might inspire its neighbors to follow suit into democracy and free-market economies.
		Garner worked with Kurds and Shiites whose families Saddam gassed with lethal chemicals and so brings a very personal passion to his belief in the former Iraqi leader's evil, comparing him to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

	AlterNet: The Man Who Would Be King of Iraq
		Fortune magazine burbled that "Garner's civilian status is a big plus." But although his official title is "co-ordinator of civilian administration," Garner has always been a die-hard advocate of all things military -- sometimes at the expense of the facts.
		But it seems entirely appropriate that Garner was unilaterally appointed on Jan. 20, even as the US was still officially trying to get a UN resolution for the invasion of Iraq.
		Aiming General Jay Garner at the innocent civilians of post-war Iraq will be yet another ham-handed, arrogant decision that guarantees an aftermath as messy and potentially disastrous as its initiation.
