New Group Will Lobby for Change in Iraqi Rule
By ERIC SCHMITT
[W]ASHINGTON, Nov. 14 -- Seeking to increase domestic and international
support for a new government in Iraq, an independent bipartisan group
has been formed with the White House's tacit approval to press for the
ouster of Saddam Hussein.
Members of the hawkish group, the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq,
include former Secretary of State George P. Shultz, former Senator Bob
Kerrey, the Teamsters leader James P. Hoffa and the former House
speaker, Newt Gingrich. Senators John McCain, Republican of Arizona, and
Joseph I. Lieberman, Democrat of Connecticut, are expected to be the
group's hononary Congressional co-chairmen.

BUSH GEARS UP
James Wilkinson
The White House is shifting James Wilkinson, who helped run the
U.S./U.K. coalition communications office in the aftermath of the
invasion of Afghanistan, to the Pentagon's U.S. Central Command to serve
as spokesperson for Gen. Tommy Franks.
That move is a "big signal" that the U.S. is "getting serious" about
Iraq, according to a report in The Washington Times. Wilkinson has just
returned from a trip to Morocco, where he practiced his Arabic language
skills on the streets. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld used Wilkinson
as his spokesperson during the presidential transition period. The
32-year-old communicator is said to be a pro at long-range messaging and
overall communications strategy.
CentCom's Franks may wind up as the U.S. military governor of Iraq
following the invasion. The U.S. is shifting 600 members of CentCom from
its Tampa headquarters to Qatar to coordinate the Iraqi invasion.
CentCom is responsible for U.S. military activity in 25 countries in
Central/Southwest Asia, Middle East and Northeast Africa.
