UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 7 -- The United Nations has offered to bolster its presence in Baghdad for the first time in more than three years, laying the groundwork for a more ambitious role in mediating the country's sectarian disputes.

The move comes three weeks after President Bush delivered his second personal appeal to Secretary General Ban Ki Moon to help resolve some of Iraq's intractable religious and ethnic conflicts. The top U.N. political adviser, B. Lynn Pascoe, told the Security Council Tuesday that the United Nations would be prepared to increase the size of its mission in Baghdad by nearly 50 percent, raising the ceiling from 65 to as many as 95 international staffers in the coming months.

No thanks to the Demorats. They would have pulled out by now.

[pissant]

No. We don’t need more enemies there.

[Renfield]

The last time that happened, the UN thieves looted Iraq for $$$. They are parasites.

[txroadhawg]

The UN must have heard of all the money gone missing and want their share.

[Joe Boucher]

Now that things seem to be going in the right direction the last thing in the world we need in Iraq is the presence of the f-ing U.N.

[TheZMan]

Ohhhhh, zee Americans have won the war. Now we can safely come in and rape the women and plunder the country. Woo!

[do the dhue]

all true. I almost wish we would keep telling the world Iraq is going to hell in a hand basket, just to keep the UN out.

[do the dhue]

Since they lost out on the oil for food program, you know they got to find a way to replenish that income.

[jedward]

bump

[xcamel]

So they can go dig up the rest of the OFF money?

[Williams]

Wow, the UN presence may increase to 95 people total! that will solve everything.

[do the dhue]

Those 95 people are to help with civil strife. They will probably be a gun free zone too.

How would you like to take that job?

[Dilbert56]

Thye may be worthless but it will leave the surrendercrats with some ‘splaining to do. “Why are you saying we should abandon Iraq while the U.N. is there?”

[do the dhue]

Yea, this has to be bad news for the rats.

[shield]

Is the UN a criminal organization?

[fatnotlazy]

I give ‘em two minutes in downtown Baghdad — they’ll surrender.

[RetSignman]

That’s a sure sign things have taken a positive turn in Iraq, they wouldn’t go in if they thought they would get their butts shot off.

[do the dhue]

yes, they should be banned by all Nations.

[Joe Boucher]

Every little piss ant country has the same pull as does the U.S. or say Japan in the U.N.
So say the economic and political powerhouse of Madagascar is equal to the U.S.?
Get real man.
What a crock of b.s.

Disband the socialist U.N. and get it the hell out of the U.S.

[GalaxieFiveHundred]

Whoop de frickin do.
