The Iraqi provisional Government has condemned US air assaults as "collective punishment" as US forces claimed victory in an offensive against the rebel city of Samarra.

"Air strikes on cities are a very annoying issue and not acceptable in any way," Iraqi interim President Ghazi Yawar told al-Arabiya television network. "I consider it collective punishment."

Iraqi religious leaders also condemned the assault and warned that other towns in the restive Sunni triangle would not fall so easily.

Waving white flags, Iraqis fled Samarra at the weekend as US forces claimed victory over insurgents in the first step of an offensive aimed at taking control of rebel-held cities.

Iraq interim Government is hoping American and Iraqi forces will crush a bloody insurgency and take back all of the country before elections scheduled for January.

Also habe ich da etwas falsch verstanden ?
So wie ich das verstanden habe, hat doch die aktuelle Interims-Regierung
angeblich ein Vetorecht bzgl. amerikanischer Militäroperationen ?!
Sprich : Keine größeren Aktionen ohne deren Einverständnis.
Oder will man mich medientechnisch "verkackeiern" ? Also nach Aussen den Entsetzten spielen und im Grunde den Zweck die Mittel heiligen lassen...
