Iraqi Interim Government
The Iraqi Interim Government was created by the United States and its coalition allies as a caretaker government to govern Iraq until the drafting of the new constitution following the National Assembly election conducted on January 30, 2005. The Iraqi Interim Government itself took the place of the Coalition Provisional Authority (and the Iraq Interim Governing Council) on June 28, 2004, and was replaced by the Iraqi Transitional Government on May 3, 2005.
Organization
It was recognized by the U.S., the United Nations, the Arab League and several other countries as being the sovereign government of Iraq (see Iraqi sovereignty for more information). The U.S. retained significant de facto power in the country and critics contend that the government existed only at the pleasure of the United States and other coalition countries, whose military forces still remain in Iraq. The coalition did promise that its troops would leave if the new sovereign government requested it, but no such request was made.

Provisional government
Provisional government is an emergency or interim government set up to manage a political transition, generally in the cases of new nations, or following the collapse of the previous governing regime. Provisional governments are generally appointed, and frequently arise either during or after civil or foreign wars.
President Jocelerme Privert maintain power until a new government can be appointed by a regular political process, which is generally an election. They may be involved with defining the legal structure of subsequent regimes, guidelines related to human rights and political freedoms, the structure of the economy, government institutions, and international alignment. Provisional governments differ from caretaker governments, which are responsible for governing within an established parliamentary system and serve as placeholders following a motion of no confidence, or following the dissolution of the ruling coalition.
In opinion of Yossi Shain and Juan J. Linz, provisional governments can be classified to four groups:

STORYLINE:
Delegates to a US-backed conference of Iraqi opposition groups agreed on Sunday that they want a transitional government for their homeland, and they want it to try President Saddam Hussein for crimes against the Iraqi people. But the delegates at the conference in London_ aimed at getting the fractious groups to unite _ were deadlocked over who should sit on a policy-making committee for Iraq's future.
Late Sunday, the general session broke up into small groups to try to work out differences, but no time was set to reconvene and it was uncertain when or whether
agreement would be announced.
No faction wants to be left out of the policy committee, as many believe it would serve as a transitional government if Saddam is toppled.
The United States, which has threatened to topple Saddam for stockpiling weapons of mass destruction, helped organize the three-day London meeting to prepare Iraq's political future.
President George W. Bush's newly appointed envoy to the Iraqi opposition, Zalmay Khalilzad, met with 70 delegates Sunday and told them the United States had been wrong not to remove Saddam during the 1991 Gulf War, several of the delegates told The Associated Press.
Setting a policy-making team was one goal of the conference, which was riven by ethnic, religious and political rivalries among its 300 participants.
Still, delegates managed to settle on a list of 49 officials of the current Iraqi regime who should face trial, and others who should be granted amnesty.
The trial list included Saddam; his sons Odai and Qusay, who have roles in their father's security apparatus; Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, Saddam's No. 2 on the ruling Revolutionary Command Council; and Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan.
"This committee will issue a general amnesty and start national reconciliation after regime change in Iraq," conference spokesman Hamid al-Bayati said Sunday.
Ramadan dismissed the conference. "I don't pay any attention to what is called the Iraqi opposition," the Iraqi vice president said Saturday in Baghdad.
The plan to extend amnesties to most of Saddam's officials appeared designed to lure some to accept the end of Saddam's government.
But what that transitional government would look like was a matter of heated debate.
Independent delegates also said they _ and not political parties alone _ should play a greater role in shaping Iraq's future.

The President has said repeatedly that we are not going to leave Iraq until we finish the job and the job is very clearly defined as having a democratic, stable Iraq at peace with itself and its neighbours.

The Bush administration would like to transfer political power to the Iraqis by the end of June and shift more security responsibility to the U.S.-trained Iraqi force.
President George W. Bush wants to end the occupation well ahead of the November presidential election in the United States to minimise Iraq as a campaign issue.
However, the formula for establishing a new government remains in dispute.
Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Husseini al-Sistani has called for direct elections before a transfer of power, arguing that a government based on caucuses would be "illegitimate."

STORYLINE:
The US-led coalition transferred sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government on Monday, speeding up the move by two days in an apparent bid to surprise insurgents who may have tried to sabotage the step towards self rule.
Legal documents handing over sovereignty were presented by US governor Paul Bremer to chief justice Mahdi al-Mahmood in a small ceremony attended by about a half dozen Iraqi and coalition officials in the heavily guarded Green Zone.
Although the interim government will have full sovereignty, it will operate under major restrictions - some of them imposed at the urging of the
influential Shiite clergy which sought to limit the powers of an un-elected administration.
The new government's major tasks will be to prepare for elections by January 31, handle the day to day running of the country and work along with the U.S.-led multinational force, which is responsible for security.

1. Various of new Iraqi cabinet meeting for the first time
STORYLINE:
Iraq's new cabinet has met for the first time in Baghdad.
The government takes power on June 30 until new elections by the end of January.
The new government, led by Shiite Iyad Allawi, was announced after Iraqis pushed through the head of the Governing Council, Ghazi al-Yawer, as president after US favourite Adnan Pachachi stepped aside.
Following the appointment of the interim government, the US-picked Governing Council dissolved so that the new leadership could begin work even
before it takes power from the American-led coalition at the end of the month.
Among the first tasks of the transitional government will be to negotiate a crucial agreement on the status of US-led international forces that will remain in Iraq after sovereignty is restored and to tackle the country's tenuous security situation.
The new Cabinet - a prime minister, a deputy premier for security and 31 ministers including six women - will take over day-to-day operations of government ministries immediately, although the US-run Coalition Provisional Authority remains the sovereign power in Iraq until June 30.
The British-educated Allawi, a long-time opposition figure known for his close ties to the State Department and the CIA, was named prime minister on Friday.
The Cabinet draws its membership from Iraq's ethnic, religious and cultural mosaic, bringing together lawyers, politicians, academics, human rights activists, engineers and businessmen from a broad spectrum.
It contrasts sharply with Saddam Hussein's regime, which revolved around a Sunni Muslim clique from his hometown of Tikrit.

(2 Jun 2004)
1. Various of new Iraqi cabinet meeting for the first time
STORYLINE:
Iraq's new cabinet has met for the first time in Baghdad.
The government takes power on June 30 until new elections by the end of January.
The new government, led by Shiite Iyad Allawi, was announced after Iraqis pushed through the head of the Governing Council, Ghazi al-Yawer, as president after US favourite Adnan Pachachi stepped aside.
Following the appointment of the interim government, the US-picked Governing Council dissolved so that the new leadership could begin work even
before it takes power from the American-led coalition at the end of the month.
Among the first tasks of the transitional government will be to negotiate a crucial agreement on the status of US-led international forces that will remain in Iraq after sovereignty is restored and to tackle the country's tenuous security situation.
The new Cabinet - a prime minister, a deputy premier for security and 31 ministers including six women - will take over day-to-day operations of government ministries immediately, although the US-run Coalition Provisional Authority remains the sovereign power in Iraq until June 30.
The British-educated Allawi, a long-time opposition figure known for his close ties to the State Department and the CIA, was named prime minister on Friday.
The Cabinet draws its membership from Iraq's ethnic, religious and cultural mosaic, bringing together lawyers, politicians, academics, human rights activists, engineers and businessmen from a broad spectrum.
It contrasts sharply with Saddam Hussein's regime, which revolved around a Sunni Muslim clique from his hometown of Tikrit.

My government is determined to safeguard the Iraqi people and the council of ministers has approved this (referring to the state of emergency), the presidency has approved this and we declared it (the state of emergency) today and we are going to implement it whenever is necessary and whatever is necessary."

"This (the state of emergency) will send a very powerful message that we are serious, we want the elections to take place, we want to secure the country so that the elections could be done in a peaceful way and the Iraqi people could participate in the elections freely without intimidation by terrorists and by forces who are trying to wreck the political process in Iraq and to bring death and destruction to Iraq. So this is a message, I hope that the terrorists will get it, because we are not going to be easy with them, we are going to bring them to justice and we are going to ensure the safety of the people of Iraq and those who are helping Iraq."
8. Allawi leaving presser
STORYLINE
Iraqi Interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi said that the Iraqi government "could not wait indefinitely" to solve the stand-off in Fallujah, adding that the people of the beleaguered city had asked the government to intervene.
He also referred to the state of emergency declared on Sunday, saying that the government will "implement it whenever is necessary and whatever is necessary" in order to secure the country.
Allawi, who called a meeting on Sunday with his defence minister, interior minister and provincial police commanders, said the state of emergency is a "very powerful message that we are serious."
"We want elections to take place. We want to secure the country so elections can be done in a peaceful way and the Iraqi people can participate
in the elections freely, without the intimidation by terrorists and by forces who are trying to wreck the political process in Iraq," he said.
The government declared a 60-day state of emergency throughout most of the country on Sunday, as U.S. and Iraqi forces prepared for an expected all-out assault on rebels in Fallujah. Insurgents escalated a wave of violence that has killed more than 50 people in the past two days.
Allawi is also dispatching envoys to neighbouring Arab states to win support for his handling of the situation in his homeland, torn by a 17-month insurgency, a government spokesman said Sunday.

STORYLINE:
US President George Bush on Tuesday welcomed the formation of a new Iraqi interim government, saying it brings that country "one step closer" to democracy.

Bush spoke to reporters in the White House Rose Garden after the naming of a new 33-member Iraqi government.
He said: "There's still violent people who want to stop progress. Their strategy hasn't changed. They want to kill innocent lives and shake our will. They're not going to shake our will."
The president added that these were historic times for both the Iraqi and American people.
Bush said he had "no role" in the selection of the leaders.

In this comprehensive documentary, we navigate the controversial presidency of George W. Bush, exploring its defining moments and enduring impact, with a particular focus on the Iraq War era. The narrative unfolds against the post-9/11 landscape, where unprecedented challenges led to the handover of sovereignty to the Iraqi Interim Government in 2004. Delving into the decisions to disband the Iraqi army and the subsequent insurgency, we witness the emergence of Al-Qaeda in Iraq and the transformation into the Islamic State of Iraq by 2006. The film meticulously chronicles the complexities of President Bush's leadership during these critical years, examining his role in decisions that shaped the course of the Iraq War and its aftermath. The U.S. withdrawal in 2011, the rise of ISIS, and subsequent international efforts to counter the group form a compelling narrative thread. As the documentary unfolds, it scrutinizes allegations of Bush being a puppet guided by influential neoconservatives, providing a nuanced exploration of the ethical considerations and the true cost of global intervention. Amidst the geopolitical landscape, the film highlights the human toll of the conflicts, with over 300,000 Iraqi civilians and more than 4,000 U.S. troops losing their lives. The legacy of President George W. Bush's decisions continues to reverberate globally, shaping debates on accountability, ethical governance, and the intricate interplay between power and influence. This documentary offers a thorough examination of a pivotal chapter in American history, exploring the highs, lows, controversies, and enduring repercussions of the Bush presidency in the context of the Iraq War and beyond.

STORYLINE:
Iraq's new cabinet has met for the first time in Baghdad.
The special United Nations envoy who helped put together Iraq's new government urged Iraqis to accept the new interim leadership and to work towards national elections - the next major step in the country's advance toward democracy.
However, Iraq's largest Shiite political party said it had reservations about the system used for choosing the government, which was announced Tuesday by UN envoy Lakhdar Brahimi.
The interim government takes power June 30th.
Brahimi suggested that the United States had wielded considerable influence in the selection process through the US-run Coalition Provisional Authority and its chief administrator, Paul Bremer.
The new government, led by Shiite Iyad Allawi, was announced after Iraqis pushed through the head of the Governing Council, Ghazi al-Yawer, as president after US favourite Adnan Pachachi stepped aside.
Following the appointment of the interim government, the US-picked Governing Council dissolved so that the new leadership could begin work even
before it takes power from the American-led coalition at the end of the month.
Among the first tasks of the transitional government will be to negotiate a crucial agreement on the status of US-led international forces that will
remain in Iraq after sovereignty is restored and to tackle the country's tenuous security situation.

STORYLINE:
Iraq's new cabinet has met for the first time in Baghdad.
The special United Nations envoy who helped put together Iraq's new government urged Iraqis to accept the new interim leadership and to work towards national elections - the next major step in the country's advance toward democracy.
However, Iraq's largest Shiite political party said it had reservations about the system used for choosing the government, which was announced Tuesday by UN envoy Lakhdar Brahimi.
The interim government takes power June 30th.
Brahimi suggested that the United States had wielded considerable influence in the selection process through the US-run Coalition Provisional Authority and its chief administrator, Paul Bremer.
The new government, led by Shiite Iyad Allawi, was announced after Iraqis pushed through the head of the Governing Council, Ghazi al-Yawer, as president after US favourite Adnan Pachachi stepped aside.
Following the appointment of the interim government, the US-picked Governing Council dissolved so that the new leadership could begin work even
before it takes power from the American-led coalition at the end of the month.
Among the first tasks of the transitional government will be to negotiate a crucial agreement on the status of US-led international forces that will
remain in Iraq after sovereignty is restored and to tackle the country's tenuous security situation.

Huge celebrations took place in Baghdad, Iraq after Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi's announced he would submit his resignation to Parliament
Iraq’s prime minister said Friday he would submit his resignation to parliament, a day after more than 40 people were killed by security forces and following calls by Iraq’s top Shiite cleric for lawmakers to withdraw support.
The move by Adel Abdul-Mahdi 13 months after he took over as prime minister triggered celebrations by anti-government protesters who have been camped out in Baghdad’s Tahrir Square for nearly two months. Young men and women broke out in song and dance as news of his imminent resignation reached the square, the capital’s largest.
In a statement, Abdul-Mahdi said he had “listened with great concern” to Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani’s sermon and made his decision in response to his call and in order to “facilitate and hasten its fulfillment as soon as possible.”
“I will submit to parliament an official memorandum resigning from the current prime ministry so that the parliament can review its choices,” he said. Abdul-Mahdi was appointed prime minister just over a year ago as a consensus candidate between political blocs.
Al-Sistani said parliament, which elected the government of Abdul-Mahdi, should “reconsider its options” in his weekly Friday sermon delivered in the holy city of Najaf via a representative.
“We call upon the House of Representatives from which this current government emerged to reconsider its options in that regard,” al-Sistani said in the statement — a clear sign he was withdrawing his support for the prime minister.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether Abdul-Mahdi’s resignation would placate protesters, who are now calling for the removal of the entire political class that has ruled Iraq since the 2003 downfall of Saddam Hussein. Nearly 400 people have been killed in the bloody crackdown on protests since Oct. 1, most of them young protesters shot dead or killed by exploding tear gas canisters fired by security forces.
Amira, a 25-year-old protester, said the resignation should have come many weeks ago.
“We will not stop with the prime minister, we still have more fighting to do. We will push forward until our demands are met,” she said, declining to give her full name, fearing retaliation.
Forty protesters were shot dead by security forces in Baghdad and the southern cities of Najaf and Nasiriyah on Thursday, in a sharp escalation of violence that continued Friday. Najaf is the headquarters of the country’s Shiite religious authority headed by al-Sistani.
Three more protesters were shot and eight wounded by security forces in Nasiriyah on Friday when the demonstrators attempted to enter the city center to resume their sit-in, security and hospital officials said. Security forces had fired live rounds the previous day to disperse protesters from two key bridges, killing 31 people.
Al-Sistani also said protesters should distinguish between peaceful demonstrators and those seeking to turn the movement violent, following the burning of an Iranian consulate building in Najaf on Wednesday that government officials say was perpetrated by saboteurs from outside the protest movement.
The Islamic Dawa party called for parliament to convene immediately and choose an alternative government, in a statement.
A former oil and finance minister and an ex-vice president, the 77-year-old Abdul-Mahdi was seen as a political independent when he took the post in October 2018 and is Iraq’s first prime minister from outside the Dawa party in 12 years.
He moved his offices out of Baghdad’s highly secure Green Zone on the first day of his term, saying he wanted to bring his government closer to the people, and said he wanted to provide security, water and electricity for all Iraqis during his term.
But reality soon caught up as he faced a raft of challenges including high unemployment, widespread corruption and dilapidated public services. His government and key staffers in his office were also seen to be close to Iran.

STORYLINE:
Delegates to a US-backed conference of Iraqi opposition groups agreed on Sunday that they want a transitional government for their homeland, and they want it to try President Saddam Hussein for crimes against the Iraqi people. But the delegates at the conference in London_ aimed at getting the fractious groups to unite _ were deadlocked over who should sit on a policy-making committee for Iraq's future.
Late Sunday, the general session broke up into small groups to try to work out differences, but no time was set to reconvene and it was uncertain when or whether
agreement would be announced.
No faction wants to be left out of the policy committee, as many believe it would serve as a transitional government if Saddam is toppled.
The United States, which has threatened to topple Saddam for stockpiling weapons of mass destruction, helped organize the three-day London meeting to prepare Iraq's political future.
President George W. Bush's newly appointed envoy to the Iraqi opposition, Zalmay Khalilzad, met with 70 delegates Sunday and told them the United States had been wrong not to remove Saddam during the 1991 Gulf War, several of the delegates told The Associated Press.
Setting a policy-making team was one goal of the conference, which was riven by ethnic, religious and political rivalries among its 300 participants.
Still, delegates managed to settle on a list of 49 officials of the current Iraqi regime who should face trial, and others who should be granted amnesty.
The trial list included Saddam; his sons Odai and Qusay, who have roles in their father's security apparatus; Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, Saddam's No. 2 on the ruling Revolutionary Command Council; and Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan.
"This committee will issue a general amnesty and start national reconciliation after regime change in Iraq," conference spokesman Hamid al-Bayati said Sunday.
Ramadan dismissed the conference. "I don't pay any attention to what is called the Iraqi opposition," the Iraqi vice president said Saturday in Baghdad.
The plan to extend amnesties to most of Saddam's officials appeared designed to lure some to accept the end of Saddam's government.
But what that transitional government would look like was a matter of heated debate.
Independent delegates also said they _ and not political parties alone _ should play a greater role in shaping Iraq's future.

"There are a hundred and 33 days before sovereignty returns to an Iraqi government on June 30th. The changes and the mechanism for forming an interim government are possible but the date holds and holds it should. In the November 15th agreement the Governing Council and the coalition promised the Iraqi people sovereignty on a date certain and we will give it to them."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Paul Bremer, U.S. administrator in Iraq
"There will be a hundred thousand American troops and tens of thousands of coalition forces still here until such time as the Iraqi security forces are able to assure their own security which will not be as early as July. So the major change that happens on June 30th is that the coalition authority passes sovereignty back to the Iraqi government, the occupation ends and coalition forces are no longer occupying forces they are in partnership with the Iraqi people to protect Iraqi security. The President has said repeatedly that we are not going to leave Iraq until we finish the job and the job is very clearly defined as having a democratic, stable Iraq at peace with itself and its neighbours. So America will still be here, many of the coalition countries, I hope all of them will still be here, I hope more. We are certainly not going to abandon Iraq."

What we do know is that we are on the forefront of the war against terrorism.
7. Press
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Paul Bremer, U.S. administrator in Iraq
"There are, as I have pointed out before, a number of ways in which a transitional government could be selected if it was not possible to hold elections. It is a very complicated task to do it if you don''''t do it with elections. With the governing council we put forward a proposal to do it by means of caucus''''s but there are literally dozens of ways to carry out this very complicated task. There are caucus''''s that cascade downwards, upwards cascading caucus''''s, various other kinds of selections, partial elections. On all of these matters we are going to wait to hear what the (UN) Secretary-General has to say and what Mr Brahimi has to say but I just invite your attention to how complicated it is."

STORYLINE:
The US governor of Iraq, Paul Bremer, said on Thursday that changes are possible in the formula for establishing a new Iraqi government but that the date for the coalition to hand over power remains firm.
The Bush administration would like to transfer political power to the Iraqis by the end of June and shift more security responsibility to the U.S.-trained Iraqi force.
President George W. Bush wants to end the occupation well ahead of the November presidential election in the United States to minimise Iraq as a campaign issue.
However, the formula for establishing a new government remains in dispute.
Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Husseini al-Sistani has called for direct elections before a transfer of power, arguing that a government based on caucuses would be "illegitimate."

STORYLINE:
The US-led coalition transferred sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government on Monday, speeding up the move by two days in an apparent bid to surprise insurgents who may have tried to sabotage the step towards self rule.
Legal documents handing over sovereignty were presented by US governor Paul Bremer to chief justice Mahdi al-Mahmood in a small ceremony attended by about a half dozen Iraqi and coalition officials in the heavily guarded Green Zone.
Although the interim government will have full sovereignty, it will operate under major restrictions - some of them imposed at the urging of the
influential Shiite clergy which sought to limit the powers of an un-elected administration.
The new government's major tasks will be to prepare for elections by January 31, handle the day to day running of the country and work along with the U.S.-led multinational force, which is responsible for security.

1. Various of new Iraqi cabinet meeting for the first time
STORYLINE:
Iraq's new cabinet has met for the first time in Baghdad.
The government takes power on June 30 until new elections by the end of January.
The new government, led by Shiite Iyad Allawi, was announced after Iraqis pushed through the head of the Governing Council, Ghazi al-Yawer, as president after US favourite Adnan Pachachi stepped aside.
Following the appointment of the interim government, the US-picked Governing Council dissolved so that the new leadership could begin work even
before it takes power from the American-led coalition at the end of the month.
Among the first tasks of the transitional government will be to negotiate a crucial agreement on the status of US-led international forces that will remain in Iraq after sovereignty is restored and to tackle the country's tenuous security situation.
The new Cabinet - a prime minister, a deputy premier for security and 31 ministers including six women - will take over day-to-day operations of government ministries immediately, although the US-run Coalition Provisional Authority remains the sovereign power in Iraq until June 30.
The British-educated Allawi, a long-time opposition figure known for his close ties to the State Department and the CIA, was named prime minister on Friday.
The Cabinet draws its membership from Iraq's ethnic, religious and cultural mosaic, bringing together lawyers, politicians, academics, human rights activists, engineers and businessmen from a broad spectrum.
It contrasts sharply with Saddam Hussein's regime, which revolved around a Sunni Muslim clique from his hometown of Tikrit.

My government is determined to safeguard the Iraqi people and the council of ministers has approved this (referring to the state of emergency), the presidency has approved this and we declared it (the state of emergency) today and we are going to implement it whenever is necessary and whatever is necessary."

So this is a message, I hope that the terrorists will get it, because we are not going to be easy with them, we are going to bring them to justice and we are going to ensure the safety of the people of Iraq and those who are helping Iraq."

STORYLINE
Iraqi Interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi said that the Iraqi government "could not wait indefinitely" to solve the stand-off in Fallujah, adding that the people of the beleaguered city had asked the government to intervene.
He also referred to the state of emergency declared on Sunday, saying that the government will "implement it whenever is necessary and whatever is necessary" in order to secure the country.
Allawi, who called a meeting on Sunday with his defence minister, interior minister and provincial police commanders, said the state of emergency is a "very powerful message that we are serious."
"We want elections to take place. We want to secure the country so elections can be done in a peaceful way and the Iraqi people can participate
in the elections freely, without the intimidation by terrorists and by forces who are trying to wreck the political process in Iraq," he said.
The government declared a 60-day state of emergency throughout most of the country on Sunday, as U.S. and Iraqi forces prepared for an expected all-out assault on rebels in Fallujah. Insurgents escalated a wave of violence that has killed more than 50 people in the past two days.
Allawi is also dispatching envoys to neighbouring Arab states to win support for his handling of the situation in his homeland, torn by a 17-month insurgency, a government spokesman said Sunday.

STORYLINE:
US President George Bush on Tuesday welcomed the formation of a new Iraqi interim government, saying it brings that country "one step closer" to democracy.
But the president cautioned that the transfer of authority to a new interim Iraqi government could be accompanied by an increase, rather than a lessening, of violence.
Bush spoke to reporters in the White House Rose Garden after the naming of a new 33-member Iraqi government.
He said: "There's still violent people who want to stop progress. Their strategy hasn't changed. They want to kill innocent lives and shake our will. They're not going to shake our will."
The president added that these were historic times for both the Iraqi and American people.
Bush said he had "no role" in the selection of the leaders.

In this comprehensive documentary, we navigate the controversial presidency of George W. Bush, exploring its defining moments and enduring impact, with a particular focus on the Iraq War era. The narrative unfolds against the post-9/11 landscape, where unprecedented challenges led to the handover of sovereignty to the Iraqi Interim Government in 2004. Delving into the decisions to disband the Iraqi army and the subsequent insurgency, we witness the emergence of Al-Qaeda in Iraq and the transformation into the Islamic State of Iraq by 2006. The film meticulously chronicles the complexities of President Bush's leadership during these critical years, examining his role in decisions that shaped the course of the Iraq War and its aftermath. The U.S. withdrawal in 2011, the rise of ISIS, and subsequent international efforts to counter the group form a compelling narrative thread. As the documentary unfolds, it scrutinizes allegations of Bush being a puppet guided by influential neoconservatives, providing a nuanced exploration of the ethical considerations and the true cost of global intervention. Amidst the geopolitical landscape, the film highlights the human toll of the conflicts, with over 300,000 Iraqi civilians and more than 4,000 U.S. troops losing their lives. The legacy of President George W. Bush's decisions continues to reverberate globally, shaping debates on accountability, ethical governance, and the intricate interplay between power and influence. This documentary offers a thorough examination of a pivotal chapter in American history, exploring the highs, lows, controversies, and enduring repercussions of the Bush presidency in the context of the Iraq War and beyond.

STORYLINE:
Iraq's new cabinet has met for the first time in Baghdad.
The special United Nations envoy who helped put together Iraq's new government urged Iraqis to accept the new interim leadership and to work towards national elections - the next major step in the country's advance toward democracy.
However, Iraq's largest Shiite political party said it had reservations about the system used for choosing the government, which was announced Tuesday by UN envoy Lakhdar Brahimi.
The interim government takes power June 30th.
Brahimi suggested that the United States had wielded considerable influence in the selection process through the US-run Coalition Provisional Authority and its chief administrator, Paul Bremer.
The new government, led by Shiite Iyad Allawi, was announced after Iraqis pushed through the head of the Governing Council, Ghazi al-Yawer, as president after US favourite Adnan Pachachi stepped aside.
Following the appointment of the interim government, the US-picked Governing Council dissolved so that the new leadership could begin work even
before it takes power from the American-led coalition at the end of the month.
Among the first tasks of the transitional government will be to negotiate a crucial agreement on the status of US-led international forces that will
remain in Iraq after sovereignty is restored and to tackle the country's tenuous security situation.

Huge celebrations took place in Baghdad, Iraq after Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi's announced he would submit his resignation to Parliament
Iraq’s prime minister said Friday he would submit his resignation to parliament, a day after more than 40 people were killed by security forces and following calls by Iraq’s top Shiite cleric for lawmakers to withdraw support.
The move by Adel Abdul-Mahdi 13 months after he took over as prime minister triggered celebrations by anti-government protesters who have been camped out in Baghdad’s Tahrir Square for nearly two months. Young men and women broke out in song and dance as news of his imminent resignation reached the square, the capital’s largest.
In a statement, Abdul-Mahdi said he had “listened with great concern” to Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani’s sermon and made his decision in response to his call and in order to “facilitate and hasten its fulfillment as soon as possible.”
“I will submit to parliament an official memorandum resigning from the current prime ministry so that the parliament can review its choices,” he said. Abdul-Mahdi was appointed prime minister just over a year ago as a consensus candidate between political blocs.
Al-Sistani said parliament, which elected the government of Abdul-Mahdi, should “reconsider its options” in his weekly Friday sermon delivered in the holy city of Najaf via a representative.
“We call upon the House of Representatives from which this current government emerged to reconsider its options in that regard,” al-Sistani said in the statement — a clear sign he was withdrawing his support for the prime minister.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether Abdul-Mahdi’s resignation would placate protesters, who are now calling for the removal of the entire political class that has ruled Iraq since the 2003 downfall of Saddam Hussein. Nearly 400 people have been killed in the bloody crackdown on protests since Oct. 1, most of them young protesters shot dead or killed by exploding tear gas canisters fired by security forces.
Amira, a 25-year-old protester, said the resignation should have come many weeks ago.
“We will not stop with the prime minister, we still have more fighting to do. We will push forward until our demands are met,” she said, declining to give her full name, fearing retaliation.
Forty protesters were shot dead by security forces in Baghdad and the southern cities of Najaf and Nasiriyah on Thursday, in a sharp escalation of violence that continued Friday. Najaf is the headquarters of the country’s Shiite religious authority headed by al-Sistani.
Three more protesters were shot and eight wounded by security forces in Nasiriyah on Friday when the demonstrators attempted to enter the city center to resume their sit-in, security and hospital officials said. Security forces had fired live rounds the previous day to disperse protesters from two key bridges, killing 31 people.
Al-Sistani also said protesters should distinguish between peaceful demonstrators and those seeking to turn the movement violent, following the burning of an Iranian consulate building in Najaf on Wednesday that government officials say was perpetrated by saboteurs from outside the protest movement.
The Islamic Dawa party called for parliament to convene immediately and choose an alternative government, in a statement.
A former oil and finance minister and an ex-vice president, the 77-year-old Abdul-Mahdi was seen as a political independent when he took the post in October 2018 and is Iraq’s first prime minister from outside the Dawa party in 12 years.
He moved his offices out of Baghdad’s highly secure Green Zone on the first day of his term, saying he wanted to bring his government closer to the people, and said he wanted to provide security, water and electricity for all Iraqis during his term.
But reality soon caught up as he faced a raft of challenges including high unemployment, widespread corruption and dilapidated public services. His government and key staffers in his office were also seen to be close to Iran.
Iraqi Interim Government
The Iraqi Interim Government was created by the United States and its coalition allies as a caretaker government to govern Iraq until the drafting of the new constitution following the National Assembly election conducted on January 30, 2005. The Iraqi Interim Government itself took the place of the Coalition Provisional Authority (and the Iraq Interim Governing Council) on June 28, 2004, and was replaced by the Iraqi Transitional Government on May 3, 2005.
Organization
It was recognized by the U.S., the United Nations, the Arab League and several other countries as being the sovereign government of Iraq (see Iraqi sovereignty for more information). The U.S. retained significant de facto power in the country and critics contend that the government existed only at the pleasure of the United States and other coalition countries, whose military forces still remain in Iraq. The coalition did promise that its troops would leave if the new sovereign government requested it, but no such request was made.
