And you'd be, typically, wrong.

It was passed by Bremner, it's called the "Coalition Provisional Authority Order Number 17" - no mention of Iraqi's there then. It opens with "Pursuant to my authority as head of the Coalition Provisional Authority". The clue here is in "my", singular, as opposed to "our", multiple. Unless Bremner sat down and negotiated this document with himself, who knows, it wasn't negotiated or agreed with anybody (hence the singular signatory).

I think you'll find that prior to the invasion of Iraq, in its entire history, there had never been a single internecine suicide bomb attack. Are you thinking of getting into the fortune telling business?
