NOTE
I need action or at least a swift report back on the following issues:
1. Policing in Iraq. We need a plan to re-hire those former police officers who can do a job. And/or use our own and other nation's resources.
Also, what has happened to the Museum and with what consequences?
2. Humanitarian Aid. I need to know there are sufficient resources on stand-by to do what is necessary. What is the present state of water and electricity supply? Which other nations can help and on what terms?
3. ORHA: we should put as many UK people in as possible to help.
4.
5. The idea of a Gulf Force from surrounding states is excellent. How soon can it move?
6. What are now the UNSCRs that we need and, on the assumption we go piecemeal, in what order and within what timing? Should we do:
DECLASSIFIED
8. What is our position on UNMOVIC. I agree we should try to get ad hoc help from former UN Inspectors.
9. What is our position in respect of the currency and how will that now progress?
10. A message should be conveyed to making it clear that though the UK wants the UN involved because it is right, I am not under pressure on it result in the US walking away and we will be in the same position.
