Putin wants UN to take lead in Iraq.

Of course he does. He wants that money train to start rolling his way again.

Seems like a very tough decision. Nail the final nail in the UN's coffin, or win the war in Iraq?

I would go for the latter, but it is a tough decision.

It is hard to decide which, Putin or Chirac, is more frustrated today. Let's keep up the good work and put both of them on suicide watch.

A Kremlin official said Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin would push the Group of Eight to work toward giving the United Nations a leading role in Iraq,

The best way we can condemn the people of Iraq to perpetual morass is to hand them over to the UN. The Insurgents terrorists will be ensured victory in their efforts to make it another Islamic terrorist republic.

Shouldn't Putin be looking for a way to nab a Boston Red Sox World Series ring instead of meddling in international politics?

The UN couldn't wait to get out of there the moment their headquarters took a hit. How long does Putin think they would stay this time?

Sure, we'll turn Iraq over the the UN just as soon as the UN gets Bosnia, Kosovo, and Sudan all squared away. Oh, and as soon as all the rebuilding is done in the countries hit by the tsunami.

Don't hold your breathe, Vlad.

Do you think Putin cares -- he wants the US out of Iraq and my question would be why? I never trusted him and never will. His eyes give me the creeps -- they are like cold as ice.

Too many of our lads have died for the UN to be allowed to go in and make it a total mess.

Blair's popularity has been badly dented because he stood with Bush on the Iraq war.

Right there the agenda is exposed.
What contribution did that staement have to the topic at hand?

Isn't this the same guy that they said was history because of his support of America?

Putin wants UN to take lead in Iraq

Sure, any rational person in the entire world can see the sense in that statement.

With what, and to do what?
Yep, I'm waiting for those 150,000 strong armored UN divisions to deploy any day now.
