It seems the UN security counsel permanent members that did not support the US invasion are flexing some muscle. We will end up eating diplomatic crow before this is over. This new resolution asks them to do something and they can just say no. We have little leverage to use here, it seems. I'll bet the Russian Ambassador will even light up a Cuban cigar at the next meeting...
I dont see why we need the UNs help. Troops are coming home at this point(116k currenty in Iraq down from 150k peak).
Yeah, right. That's why the P/T soldiers there were just told their tours would be one year. And that's why Bush just signed an extension to keep them there up to two years if need be.
PS
Next April, when the troops cycle home, there is NO ONE to replace them.
Even Bush admits he needs the UN now. Get on the same page as your fearless leader.
Troop numbers in iraq are getting lower. Sorry that dissappoints you.
Don't be stupid ( as if you actually had a choice
). You Bushies are the reason the troops are there in the first place.
I'm very gratified troops are coming home. If it was up to me they'd all be home. If it was up to me they never would have gone there in the first place. So please don't be ridiculous.
But that doesn't change the fact that much of Iraq is in chaos due to Bush's unnecessary invasion and we don't have enough troop strength to maintain order there right now. So when the troops come home they have to be replaced. We have no one to replace them with.
This is why Bush's policy in Iraq is an abject failure and now he has to crawl to the UN and NATO and beg for help.
Let me ask again, where is the begging happening?
The begging is happening in the UN and NATO. The Bush administration has their low IQ supporters believing the are "allowing" the UN to help.
But Germany, France, Russia and now China are telling Bush to go pound salt. And soon they'll be dictating to Bush their demands to be "allowed" to help.
The begging is going on because the US doesn't have the troop strength or the money to fix the mess you people supported in Iraq. But now you're gonna' try to spin this as though there isn't a problem.
You, my friend, are deluding yourself. And you know the worst lies are the lies you tell yourself.
