#1 *snicker*

Faux cover for the toolfools. I hope we didn't waste any diplomatic capital on this. Even without Jaafari's letter, UNSC extending the "mandate" etc, it wouldn't change a thing. Pretty funny, in fact.

#2 The US, Iraq and other interested parties are sovereign nations so there was absolutely no need to involve the UN in this matter. In fact, setting a precedent whereby the UN is allowed to rubber stamp agreements between sovereign nations seems very dangerous to me. It's one thing to attempt to mediate disputes but it's quite another to bless mutual agreements where the parties are not in conflict.
