from today's SLATE: >The [Washington POST] fronts word that, after much prodding from the White House, the United Nations said it is willing to increase the number of personnel stationed in Iraq. Britain and the United States want the Security Council to vote this week on a resolution to increase the United Nations' presence and influence in Iraq. The NY [TIMES] says the resolution is expected to pass, but some fear the international body will be left to deal with Iraq's problems by itself. The Post notes the Bush administration's pleas for assistance from the United Nations "contrast with the disdain it held for the organization in past years."<
Maybe Bushie will give Iraq to the French as an Xmas present? Now that's a punishment! -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti." (Go your own way and let people talk.) -- Karl, paraphrasing Dante.
