To all the posters here who keep on referring to a US/UK way forward - that is not what is happening. The US is appointing it's own people and companies without consulting the UK. AFAIK not one UK company or diplomat has been appointed to any position or facility in Iraq.
America is turning it's back on it's own allies to seize control of Iraq.
I haven't checked this from any news sources yet and so take this with a grain of salt :- I spoke with a friend in London last night about the UK involvement in Iraq - seems there are over 100,000 British servicemen and women along side America's people.
Where is the UK involvment in the rebuilding of Iraq? George W seems intent on sending Blair to the bench (as in losing his job).

Blair pledge on post-war Iraq
There's nothing in this article (or in the transcript of the interview with Blair) to suggest that the US and the UK have differing viewpoints on post-war Iraq.
Can you point to a place where Blair has stated specifically that he would prefer a UN run interim government?
From what I've read, it appears that Blair is being very careful not to mention UN involvement outside of humanitarian/reconstruction aid.

My source is from a TV news report - I haven't had the time to cross referrence every fact with a newspaper report. And after the BBC reporting the war was started because of George W's religious beliefs I have lost a lot of faith in news services such as the BBC.
