#1 Annan seems to think that the U.N. should have the leading role in determining Iraq's political future.

Somehow I don't think the CPA and GC see the U.N. in a 'lead role' in determining Iraq's future. But that is just a guess on my part.

Seems someone needs to realize the relationship between cause (not supporting the overthrow of a brutal monsterous tyrant and murderer) with effect (no say in Iraq's political future...).

#2 --However, a November agreement between the Governing Council and the coalition on a timetable for the transfer of power does not mention the United Nations.--

Hmmm, someone from phrawnce must have been paying attention, a draft of the proposed EU constitution was missing the word "NATO" more than once.

#3 Coalition diplomats say that so long as the CPA remains the authority in Iraq, it ought to be involved in the discussion. But the coalition wants to make sure that, before the meeting takes place, the Iraqi Governing Council has a clear idea of what it believes the United Nations should do in Iraq.

I think the UN should do what it is best at doing: absolutely nothing. Let the adults determine Iraq's future. Use the UN whining and foot stomping as a gauge of success.
