Dennis Kucinich's ( hopefully ) last part of a series outlining how fast he would retreat from Iraq. Kucinich's proposals boil down to turning the whole show in Iraq over to the UN, including 130,000 UN "peacekeepers." Does Iraq have enough goats, starving kids and women to service those troops?There are good days and bad days in considering the insanity the left has in store over the next two years. This is one of the bad days.
Edited for the loonier parts (ESP)
1. Transfer to the United Nations the authority the United States currently excerises in Iraq. This includes: The United States must ask the United Nations, in cooperation with the Iraqi government, to manage the oil assets of Iraq until Iraq is stabilized.
2. The United States will finance a UN-sponsored peacekeeping mission in Iraq and enlist the help of other members of the coalition of nations which participated in the Iraq action.
3. UN troops will rotate into Iraq, and all US troops will come home. The United Nations, through its member nations, in cooperation with member nations from the region, will commit 130,000 peacekeepers to Iraq on a temporary basis until the Iraqi people can maintain their own security.
4. The United States must agree to pay for what we destroyed. An Iraq reconstruction fund, monitored by the UN in cooperation with the Iraqi government, must be annually replenished to replace destroyed infrastructure.
5. The United States will abandon policies of "preemption" and unilateralism and commit to strengthening the UN.
