This kind of policy earns high marks in workability. The americans could have led with thsi kind of proposal, which is probably inevitable (unless things get really much worse), but again missed the opportunity for any kind of leadership.

UNITED NATIONS: Germany wants Iraq to set up a national security council to resolve disputes about military action between US-led forces, the Iraqi army and the new interim government, its diplomats said on Wednesday.
The proposal was part of an effort to resolve the most controversial section of a planned UN Security Council resolution on Iraq - the relationship between the Iraqi army and police and the US-led foreign troops.
Basically there is no disagreement in the council that Iraqi forces can say "no" to participation in an American military operation, but German envoys told reporters there should be a "mechanism" for them to do this.
The idea of some kind of coordinating body for security is shared by other Security Council members, said Pakistan's Ambassador Munir Akram, this month's council president.
"Part of the discussion is the possibility of a sort of consultative committee in which there would be representation of all sides... and that the actual security policy would be coordinated," he said.
