#1 whether the U.N. could assume responsibilities at least on paper for the security operations

How about seeing if the UN can do a better job of providing security for just their buildings in Iraq first, then re-visit the issue.

As an aside to Bill Clinton, "STFU!!!"

#2 How about we see if the UN can get control of the corruption and slavery rings being run out of its offices?

#3 Who the hell gives a rat's ass what Clinton thinks?

#4 Can't miss you Bill if you won't go away...

#5 Someday, somewhere, someone will finally get through to Bill: We don't want you any more. Get out of our face. Go away, far, far away.

In the meantime, we all have to put up with this loser that caused no small part of the problem until he either hits on someone's wife once too often, or he says the wrong thing in the wrong place, and someone offs him.

Early onset Alzheimers would be a horrible thing to wish on anyone, but Bill's pushing the limits.

#6 Maybe Clinton has been talking to Gen Jones USMC: NATO Commander Sees Proactive Missions

#7 I doubt that Clinton speaks to any military besides his puppet Clark

#8 Maybe instead of locking up Presidential papers for 60 years, we should lock up the Presidents themselves. If they can't manage to STFU, as all their predecessors (save one, anyway) did.

#9 He brought this up at a C-Span show w/Bob Dole last week. Dole agreed that a NATO ran force w/UN as the umbrella was a good idea. In theory not a bad idea, but in practice probably not the right move right now.

#10 Damn, someone send him to Iraq and have his convoy take a "wrong" turn.

#11 But, when the rubber hits the road, WE are NAT0. The rest of them shmucks are worthless (not counting the Brits, of course).

See, Bill is really on our side after all. He just needs to speak in "code" as were lest Hillary smacks him up the side the head ( risking injury to Monica).

What a guy.

#12 And who, exactly, from NATO is going to do this?

UK? Already in. France? hahahaha. Germany? hehehehe. Turkey? They said they'd help, but the Iraqis don't want them. Greece? Give me a break.
Italy? Already in.

This is pure BS from the King of BS.

#13 True Mr. McLeod... but if NATO worked thru the commiteee process and vetteed it up to the secondary FM level and then took 20% percent off the top there would be buy in. In which case.. UK already in... France Hahahaha, Germany? hehehehe, Turkey? they'd be massing forces at the border.

#14 Can someone send him an intern or two so he will STFU!

#15 But if it were NATO running the security under a UN mandate wouldn't it mean participation by France and Germany and full participation by other western Eueopean countries instead of token forces? Sounds like a good idea to me--what is the downside?
