#1 Interesting..."W" lately has been tiptoeing through the Tulips with the UN, China, The hesitancy of the Norks, the olive branch gently waiving to the Iranians (almost no condemnation of the regime at the UN, A lukewarm response to 'NutJob's desire to lament 'Ground Zero' [coming from the man who stood atop the smoldering pile with that bullhorn??])! What's up??? Either the Bush administration has taken it's medicine and now appear ready to buy tickets on the Hillary Express or there's subterfuge going on in the dark halls of the Pentagon. Are we now witnessing the classic 'walk softly and carrying a big stick' maneuver? Why is "W" so worried about how firmly entrenched the Clinton camp is with their 1 year out pre-election rhetoric? Could it be he knows exactly 'when' the countdown to war will be and the Democrats will have to clean up the mess! Enquiring minds want to know.

#2 the US needed the UN, and that the UN could make a difference
This sucks. F*ck the UN and the horse they rode in on. Sounds like the bastards ground him down.

This will come as ~~music to the ears~~ money in the pockets of UN officials
No doubt they're licking their chops already. "The gravy train roars on!"

#3 1. It's the Scotsman. Just like the Guardian, only stuffed in a sheep's stomach.

2. There's a saying: 'Be gracious toward your enemies. It confuses them.'

#4 The UN is corrupt and will never become anything other. UN out of US, US out of UN.
Bush out of his mind.

#9 Obviously the position of 'Official White House Kool Aid Taste Tester' is open; why else would GW be schmoozing with the wicked witch of the west and sucking up to the UN. Somebody has doctored his Ovaltine.

#10 My guess is Bush is hoping to get UN peacekeepers back into Iraq before his administration is over. By then the Iraqi's should mostly control their own country and the UN couldn't do to much damage.
