FIRST REACTIONS TO PEACE PLAN

The USA annoys about European Iraq initiative

The new peace initiative of the Germans and Frenchmen surprised the US government completely. Although Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld stayed in Munich, he experienced from the raid only from the messages. Reacted its delegation accordingly verschnupft: "in this way one does not collect points with us."

Munich - it was the topic for discussion of the in the afternoon to the safety conference in Munich. Diplomats and politicians were emsig endeavored to experience the details of the French-German peace initiative. On the early afternoon the MIRROR had announced that both governments had trade ELT for weeks in the hiding at a peace plan for the Iraq, in order to nevertheless still turn the war away.
Reacted the Americans accordingly indignant: The government of the USA was not informed about the plans. US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said on Saturday after a discussion with Federal Minister of Defense Peter Struck (SPD) in Munich: "I experienced of it from the media." In US delegation was called it after the discussion, Rumsfeld the reports over the initiative with the meeting addressed. From German side discussions with France were confirmed. One is however not yet so far to speak with the Americans about it.

In the US delegation one gave oneself verschnupft: It is "rather unusual" that the Secretary of Defense of a in such a way meaning diplomatic initiative experiences only by the messages. It was called further: "we make clear now to each Frenchman and German, whom we find, that one makes no points in this way at the American government."

In first estimates the initiative in the US delegation was rejected not directly, but evaluated negatively. Apart from annoying about the procedure of Germany and France do not correspond also contents to the conceptions of the USA. Already in Bosnia, a delegation participant of the USA let itself be heard, the UN troops the massacres at the civilian population would not have prevented.

For annoying it might provide above all that the government obviously prepared the plan for weeks in the secret one. Besides the concept is discussed at present with several critics of the US strategy, among them the Greek Prime Minister and acting European Union advice president Kostas Simitis, Russian president Vladimir Putin and the designate Chinese president Hu Jintao.

The secret project "Mirage" plans to disarm the Iraq completely. Thousands of blue helmet soldiers of the United Nations are to march into the Iraq, in order to make the work possible of the supervisors. Under their protection the supervisors could set to an enormous "house search" of the entire country.

The blue helmets would take over for many years actually control of the country and would guarantee a "durable disarmament regime" - then also with German participation: "if this idea of a durable disarmament regime intersperses itself, then Germany is thereby", said a cabinet member to the MIRROR.

Since beginning of the yearly chancellorship and Elysée palace work on the disarming model. "simple only no say are enough now no longer out", thus Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder in an internal situation round. After the concept, which possibly as French-German draft resolution was to be brought into the Security Council, the entire Iraq was explained as the grounding zone. French reconnaissance planes of the type "Mirage IV" would support the work of the supervisors, whose number was trebled from air.

Struck announced that Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder (SPD) will express itself in his governmental declaration to the Iraq on coming Thursday. Germany and France reject that urge of the USA and Great Britain to a fast decision over a possible war and set on an extension and a reinforcement of the weapon inspections.
