86 days

The U.S. is sabotaging stability in Iraq - Naomi Klein
"With the so-called Sunni triangle in flames after the gruesome Fallujah attacks, why is Mr. Bremer pushing the comparatively calm Shia south into battle? Here's one possible answer: Washington has given up on its plans to hand over power to an interim Iraqi government on June 30, and is now creating the chaos it needs to declare the handover impossible."
With any other government, this might be a theory, but I don't think either Bush or Rumsfield or Bremner is capable of such long range thinking! The handover is supposed to happen in 86 days, which is a lifetime as far as these guys are concerned.
