Quote:I'm sure that Allaui won't be trying to do many things that we haven't approved, though. He's just a puppet... we have effective control. And still control many parts of their government... controlling security gives us a lot of control, you know. There is only so much that that government can do and going against what we want wouldn't exactly be a good idea for people in their position.
Of course he's going to depend on us some to help him control the country and he'll like come to us for advice on certain situations, but he's making the ultimate decisions on just about everything. If we stepped over him on ANYTHING that wasn't directly related to our forces it would destroy everything we're trying to do by transfering power.
