Proposed Strategy for the Restoration of Stability, Security, and Prosperity in Iraq, Under the Auspices of Arab Cooperation
Respectfully Submitted to the Council of the Arab League
Prince Saud bin Faisal bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kingdom of Saudi Ara
After appropriate study and consultation, and invoking the blessings of Almighty God, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia proposes the following actions be taken to restore stability, security, and prosperity in Iraq:
1: Formation of an Arab League Advisory Council to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iraq
The Arab League will establish an Advisory Council to advise and assist the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iraq in: establishing an effective governing strategy; organizing and strengthening its institutions of government; formulating domestic and foreign policy; crafting a code of civil and criminal law; administrating the country; and enforcing legal authority and order. This Advisory Council will consist of respected leaders and recognized experts from the academic, corporate, ecclesiastic, military, and government fields, selected by the General Secretariat of the Arab League with the approval of the Council.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia respectfully recommends HRH Prince Turki bin Faisal al-Saud for the Presidency of the Advisory Council.
2: Formation of an Arab League Joint Security Force for Iraq
The Arab League will establish a Joint Security Force to fill the combat and security roles being vacated by the United States Armed Forces, in cooperation with the security and defense forces of the Islamic Republic of Iraq. This Joint Security Force will consist of combat and support units voluntarilly consigned to joint service by the member states of the Arab League. All Joint Security Force units will be organized and integrated into effective strategic and tactical entities, as deemed necessary for operations in Iraq. Joint Security Force forces will be tasked with: securing and enforcing order in the cities; enforcing law and government authority; locating and eliminating insurgent and militant anti-government forces within the country; protecting the Iraqi population from unlawful violence; sealing the border against destabilizing foreign insurgency; and defending the country against hostile invasion. A Joint Command will be established to administrate all Joint Security Force operations, and to command all Joint Security Force forces in Iraq. This Joint Command will consist of commissioned military officers from the member states of the Arab League, selected by the General Secretariat of the Arab League with the approval of the Council.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia respectfully recommends HRH Prince Khalid bin Sultan for Chief Commander of the Joint Security Force.
3: Formation of an Arab League Foundation for the Reconstruction of Iraq
The Arab League will establish a Foundation for the Reconstruction of Iraq, to organize and administrate the economic and physical reconstruction of Iraq. Every member state of the Arab League shall be required to contribute 1 EP annually to a Fund for the Reconstruction of Iraq, which will be used to finance: humanitarian relief; the reconstruction of Iraq's physical infrastructure; construction or reconstruction of schools, mosques, hospitals, and other necessary public buildings; investment in Iraqi businesses; support for Iraq's financial institutions; and job training and education programs. In addition to administrating the Fund, the Foundation will also advise and assist the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iraq on matters of economic, financial, and development policy.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia respectfully recommends HRH Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud for the Chairmanship of the Foundation for the Reconstruction of Iraq.
Additionally:
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia shall, upon consultation with the other member states thereof, propose that the Islamic Republic of Iraq be offered and, if willing, granted admission into the Gulf Cooperation Council, wherein it will receive additional economic, financial, and civil support.
The United States of America shall continue to provide the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iraq will civilian and military advisors, to advise and assist in all relevant matters. These advisors shall operate in cooperation with the Government and with the Advisory Council.
United States Special Forces shall be permitted to continue to operate within Iraq as deemed necessary, independently of or in cooperation with Iraqi security and defense forces and the Joint Security Force.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is prepared to contribute a significant portion of the combat strength of the Joint Security Force, including armor and air power, and also to partially fund its operations.

Egypt agrees with the plan, however it wishes that it's own general head the security force, due to the planed extremely large force that will be given. Also to make sure that it isn't a completely Saudi run operation, theyby making it more international.
troops egypt is willing to donate:
110,000 troops, 100 medium tanks, 50 heavy tanks 100 artilary
10 patrol boats
20 bombers, 25 interceptors
as well as 1 eco for training of Iraqi Army

Syria supports the Saudi initiative but would like to raise the question as to why the proposal focuses solely on the Saudi involvement in Iraq instead of creating an international, Arab aproach to the problem. As it stands, it would appear that Saudi government wants the Arab league to sanction Saudi intervention in Iraq while remaining largly a bystander. Instead, we would like to see not a Saudi intervention that is given a nod by the Arab league, but an Arab intervention (if there is to be any intervention at all) and in the form that the Iraqi government will request. Finally, the Egyptian proposal to send a hundred thousand soldiers into Iraq is admirable, but it would serve little purpose. The Iraqi government and people need the support of the Arab world and they need us to help provide Iraqi people with instruments they needs to run Iraq. What the Iraqis do not need is for us to run Iraq for them.

Saudi Arabia does not propose that it be a solely Saudi-run operation; rather, we fully recognize the absolute necessity of involving every member state of the Arab League. We have simply offered the services of Saudi leaders who have proven their abilities in previous endeavors, including Prince Khalid, who you will remember led the Joint Arab Forces during the war to evict Saddam Hussein from Kuwait. Saudi Arabia of course welcomes nominations by the other Arab states; the decision ultimately belongs to the Secretariat as a whole.

As long as the operation remains under Arab supervision as opposed to Saudi supervision we see no problem with it, provided that the Iraqi government does not either.

Although we agree the long term goal of the mission is make Iraq self substainable, it is crucial that we provide an ample security force with in. The Iraqi Military is incapible, so our aid would mearly go into forces and vehicles that would soon get killed and destroyed. One of the main falures of the US plan was not enough troops to secure regions that they have taken back from rebels. As such already I have pledged troops that are basically in equal number to the old USes, and hopefully all other nations will double or triple that number.
