"Bush, whose new four-year term will end December 2008,"

I could be wrong, but doesn't his new four-year term end Jan 20th 2009?

Well said!

''If the United Nations is to survive as an institution, it has to learn to live with the United States,''

The choice is clear. Either get along with us or fade to irrelevance and disappear. Personally, I like the second choice.

For me, this is a very important mandate. Preservation of United States sovereignty. Kerry would have sold us out and Clinton would be the Secretary General. [shudder]

If the United Nations is to survive as an institution, it has to learn to live with the United States,'' said an Asian diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity.

DID ANYONE ELSE PICK UP ON THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS? If the US pulls out of the U.N. it's DONE!!! GET U.S. OUT NOW!!!

''The Bush policies toward the United Nations are likely to remain similar -- viewing the United Nations as a significant tool when useful to Washington and as an irrelevant ritual otherwise,'' says Norman Solomon, executive director of the Washington-based Institute for Public Accuracy.

I pick "irrelevant ritual". When has the UN ever been a significant tool? Unless we're using the term "tool" as a deragatory term - as in "what a tool!".

It's time to revive the bumper stickers from the 70s.

Get the US out of the UN
Get the UN out of the US

These UN diplomats are a bunch of pompous asses. The reason why the US didn't want muslim security forces for the UN workers is because Iraqi does not want foreign musilm troops. They have the gall to say that the US is losing credibility when it's the UN that is losing credibility with every passing day.

If the US pulls this Iraq election off with little or no help from the UN, it will underline it's complete and utter irrelevency. The US will have shown it has more capability, dicisiveness and, above all, more willingness to act on their principles than the corrupt UN.

''Likewise, we'll see Washington continue to use the rhetoric of 'multilateralism' when expedient, while taking unilateral action whenever convenient,'' Solomon told IPS

How about:

we'll see Paris continue to use the rhetoric of 'multilateralism' when expedient, while taking unilateral action whenever convenient

''Either you cooperate with the White House -- or you just perish,'' he added.

You do not annoy the 800 pound gorilla in your living room.

Or to go one better, you don't step on Superman's cape.

[BikerTrash]

My two stage plan for future U.S./UN relations:

1. 24 hour notice.

2. Bulldozers.

''Either you cooperate with the White House -- or you just perish,'' he added.

Please..... PLEASE DON'T COOPERATE!!

My 2¢'s about the un?

American Policy Center on-line Declaration of Independence from the U.N.

As I recall, the un has one or more "contingency sites" located in other nations... let's banish them there--

"Imagine the screaming headlines and worldwide outrage if the Catholic Church or any other church allowed sexual abuse of children on such a massive scale. Could the media establishment's pro-U.N., anti-religious bias have anything to do with the stunning discrepancy? "

Uncle Sucker has bankrolled every "international"
thing to come along, without so much as a complaint.
The U.N. is like the kept mistress who complains that
her Mercedes isn't big enough and cuckolds her lover
with other men.
