#1 tcc: Excuse me. "Only the UN has an infrastructure that can guarantee fast and efficient aid...." Oh, please. Whenever the UN has to get anything, anywhere, who do they call on? THE USAF, that's who. The one orginization that has said infrastructure is the good old USA-DOD, with specific fill-ins from other assorted Departments, Agencies, etc. Once you get past WHO & UNICEF, the UN is a great Potemkin village. If the orginization does stay in NY, about all its qualified for is SAG membership (as extras).

#2 President Bush in bending to the will of the U.N. ordered 250,000 inspectors to Iraq. They should arrive within the next 48hrs.

#3 Maybe they can get the French to enforce the resolution if it passes. Ha!

#4 Let me see if I've got this straight:
One, the French say we're arrogant.
Two, the Germans say we're warmongers.
Three, the Russians say we don't respect the rule of law.
And now four, the Arabs think we're undemocratic.
And if that doesn't convince you of the correctness of our position, nothing will.

#5 Bush as the anti-christ has shown his true colours - kick the gringo bastards out immediately

#6 For once a proposed UN resolution I can get behind.

It's time to get the US our of the UN, and the UN out of the US!

#7 Isn't it the French who refuse to follow 1441? Call a vote and then kick all the 'no' votes out of the UN. Then the US should leave the UN on our own.

#8 As Spock would say "that would be quite illogical".
Let me get this straight, the US controls the UNSC, so why did it not get the 2nd resolution?
And again with the generalizations: "holds a choke hold on many of the international institutions"
Get back to your stonings and honour killings ok.

#9 Reading this article was great! I have not had such a good laugh since grandma got her tits caught in the wringer. Let us call it the Scooter McGruder Initiative and go for it...lets carry the illogic to its logical end.

#10 Yes, that's a splendid idea for a resolution! Let's support it, stop paying our U.N. dues, and give the U.N. 30 days to get out of New York City. We can give the Frogs 48 hours if they pay their parking tickets within 24 hours. Cash only.

#11 Dammit Tom, you beat me to it! I think a "lawless" society such as ours should make those parking tickets from the past retroactive as well, with penalties of course!... Hans Blix can manage the line at traffic court, being the seasoned administrator that he is

#12 Like they're going to pony up the cash.

#14 What's even funnier is that United States funded over 60% of UN. Japan chipped in another 10%. Japan is already on record on scaling back their UN funding committment, and without US funding, there is NO UN.

#15 Guys, let's get one thing straight. The UN Security Council has failed, but the UN is not obsolete. Its humanitarian work should continue to be appreciated by the United States. Only the UN has an infrastructure that can guarantee fast and efficient aid to a postwar Iraq.
Bush knows this, thats why he didn't knock the UN around in his speech.
But the UN will have to be reformed after the war.
