| Muslim nations ponder Iraq force |
| 2004-04-22 |
| Islamic nations have said they could contribute troops to Iraq if the UN takes charge of the operation. The offer was made by officials from about 20 of the Muslim countries attending an emergency summit in Putrajaya, Malaysia. We’re having enough trouble with Iraqi insurgent infiltration. I don’t think we need to make it official policy just yet. Members agreed Iraq could not be stabilised without a bigger One big collective gasp, please. Delegates at the one-day meeting said the UN Security Council must pass a resolution which empowered the UN to oversee Iraq’s transition to sovereignty. Only after they answer for how they interfered with the economic sanctions against Saddam. Until then, no dice. "Peace, security and stability in Iraq could be secured and guaranteed through... the Iraqi people expressive their legitimate rights, including the right to free and fair elections," said a statement produced by the body. The BBC’s Jonathan Kent in Kuala Lumpur said the meeting avoided direct criticism of the US for civilian deaths incurred during its assaults against Iraqi insurgents. You mean the ones our incompetent snipers managed to terrify the insurgents with? But it still accused the US of displaying a casual disregard for the safety of ordinary Iraqis. These so-called "leaders" are just mistaking our "casual disregard" for their safety. Indonesia, Malaysia and Pakistan indicated they would consider sending peacekeepers to the Arab state if they were part of a UN force. Wow! Timely and proactive intervention from the Moslem countries. I think Pakistan has done enough heavy lifting forthe terrorists already, thank you. America’s recent endorsement of a unilateral Israeli plan to withdraw from the Gaza Strip, while consolidating West Bank settlements, was also heavily criticised. Sure ... perish the thought that peace might actually break out for a change. Summit delegates concluded the US move would derail the peace process by "denying the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people". PS: The Palestinian’s "inalienable rights" (where’d they pick up that phrase?) DO NOT happen to include terrorist mass murder. Once we can clear up this tedious little misunbderstanding on your part, maybe we’ll yank Israel’s chain, but not a picosecond before. |

| #6 Members agreed Iraq could not be stabilised without a bigger role for the UN; Indonesia and Pakistan, among others, offered troops to back the UN. Screw these idiots AND screw the UN. They couldn't use what influence they had to get Saddam to comply, and didn't give a damn one way or the other w/r/t bin Laden and his gang of thugs, and now they want to get involved??? Sorry, but no. No, no, NO. Now go away. Speakers at the summit also attacked US policy towards Iraq and Israel. Three words: GO TO HELL. |

| #3 The media's silence on whether Iraqis actually want the UN is deafening. |

| #2 Amen, TS! The baksheesh opportunities alone would sink Iraq. To make overt sabotage, the obvious effect of inviting other Arabs into Iraq, official policy, however, is a tad too much. Seriously considering the UN to "run" things is only occurring in LLL venues. Knock yourselves out, Lol! |

| #1 What timing, right after the Jordanian soldiers ambushed and killed American policewomen under the U.N. in Bosnia. |
