#1 Mandate? Extension? What in the hell are they talking about? Can someone tell me when (if ever) the un became relevant as to what goes on in Iraq? We will call them when we need white collar criminals, but until then STFU.

#2 Since the Iraqis have voted on -- and accepted -- a constitution, what gives the UN any grounds to have a say?

#3 That's the point of the discussion about a status of forces agreement. But we don't have one now. At this point we are in the country with a UN mandate to return the country to its own governance. There may be a gap between the time the UN mandate expires and the SOF agreement is reached. That will be papered over by an extesion of the UN mandate or not. It really won't make any difference to what we do.

This is just politicians who opposed the war and Sunnis mouthing off. What they say will affect nothing unless we agree to it. Let the ankle biters play. It keeps them amused and out of serious matters.
