THEN (May 2003):
Rumsfeld's rejection of Islamic state angers Shias
Donald Rumsfeld, the US Secretary of State, will have won plaudits from his zealous friends by declaring that an "Iranian-style" Islamic government "is not going to happen" in Iraq.
NOW (December 2004):
White House getting used to idea of Shia government
As American troop reinforcements head to Iraq, the Bush administration is slowly coming to terms with the realisation that elections scheduled for next month could spell the end of Iyad Allawi, prime minister and the secular US favourite, and usher in a quasi-theocracy.
Who knew that Rummy was sec of state?
