Yahoo! News - Annan: UN Could Issue New Iraq Resolution

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) said on Saturday the United Nations (news - web sites) might need to pass a new resolution on Iraq and warned Baghdad not to try to take advantage of apparent differences in the Security Council.

No! Saddam? Try to exploit differences in the Security Council? I find that hard to believe. He's only been buying off members for the past decade.


It's been an interesting day...watching people decry George Bush as a warmonger and demand that inspections be given more time. Did it occur to anyone that the reason that there are any inspections at all is the 150,000 US and UK troops massed on the border? How honorable of the French (and others). Let the US rattle the sabre, then step in and take advantage of the product of the threat to make themselves look like just reasonable folk standing against the horrible Americans. Take the side of Saddam Hussein against the USA. Play the good cop to the USA's bad. What the hell did they vote for 1441 for, anyway? Did they intend ahead of time to leave Bush and Blair holding the bag while they hid? Despicable.


Hey, I have an idea. Let's adopt the German and French plan. Let's let them put a couple thousand of their people dispersed on the ground in Iraq. Then, let the US and UK say, "We've decided that war is not the answer. We will begin demobilizing our troops immediately, and under no circumstances will we support the use of force in Iraq." Let's see what happens then.
