Prediction of 2-3 Month Reconstruction Period

[edit]

The previous anonymous edit cites an interview given for the Council on Foreign Relations in which Ambassador Djerejian offered with a degree of candor, a desirable outcome for peace and stability in Iraq following the fall of the Baathist regime. With Ambassador Frank Wisner, Djerejian produced a December 2002 report Guiding Principles for U.S. Post-Conflict Policy in Iraq, a document that far more comprehensively illustrates Djerejian's views on priorities following the cessation of organized military resistance by the Iraqi military. In the aforementioned report, the authors offered that, "Without an initial and broad-based commitment to law and order, the logic of score-settling and revenge-taking will reduce Iraq to chaos." This falls at considerable odds with the statement, "In 2003, Djerejian was among those who predicted that reconstruction of Iraq would only take 60-90 days."

Do we need semiprotection?

[edit]

An anon editor keeps wading in to make the charge that Djerejian predicted something would happen in Iraq in the first 60 to 90 days of occupation; first, that reconstruction would take place in that time frame, and then merely that the country would be secured. Djerejian said neither. The relevant quote, from an interview cited to support the assertions by the anon editor (emphasis mine):


I expect the editor to wade in with another claim at some point -- I don't know what drives him/her, but all efforts to correct the record have been called 'vandalism.' Who else agrees that if this crops up again, we should ask an administrator to lock this article down? —GGreeneVa 17:56, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

[edit]

I have a fairly good idea of the source on this one and know Amb. Djerejian. I would like to make a biographical change to the page at some point in the near future to reflect additional professional achievement.

Minor changes regarding Djerejian's recent activities and additional wikification.

research subject: "one man, one vote, one time"

[edit]

Is ED responsible for this bon mot? He difinately used it [1][2], and a locution like "...was famously referred to by veteran diplomat Edward Djerejian as 'one man, one vote, one time'" is common (indeed it appears in the Wikipedia article on the Algerian Civil War), but is it his invention?
