What good is the UN for if not to help rebuild Iraq, even in a minor role. Now let's get this straight Hillary and Co., you want a bigger role for the UN? If the media even had a clue, they'd be asking these pro-UN running Iraq folks how that squares with Kofi Annan's statements.
Posted by Tim at December 10, 2003 11:50 AMThe issue of meaningful U.N. participation has always been been a canard. As you will have noticed, no serious plan has ever been advanced by this Administration's critics as to what the U.N could/would actually do and how they would go about doing it. It has been obvious for a long time, even to the Dems, that France and Russia were never going to support us as long as we didn't guarantee them the opportunity to shake down the place.
Now that it has become obvious to Kofi that Iraq is a dangerous place and there is no money to be made (i.e., Food for Oil Program), the U.N. won't play. So much for the altuism of the United Nations.
