yes we are very concerned bout the security council.. after this bullshit last six months... I don't think there will be anything but one veto after another from Britain, the USA and Spain...

Sec Council is dead.
Furthermore... we will STAYin just to veto their crap... while NOT paying our dues... like the rest of the third world nations don't... russia, south africa and angola...

[watchin]

Violating the United Nations Charter? Golly, I hope they don't punish us as harshly as they have Iraq.

[3catsanadog]

I'm beginning to wonder if maybe Germany, France and Russia aren't secretly planning to attack the U.S. when we free the Iraqi people. I cannot, for the life of me, understand why these countries are so dead set against stopping terrorist aggression. There's more going on here than meets the eye, I fear.

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

I hope the whole thing is quick and clean, the people of Iraq are demanding of the world "What the heck took you so long?" and we find all kinds of nasty stuff in underground bunkers.........that would be sooooo sweeet

[finnman69]

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

What the US is supposed to be afraid of the Security Council now after dicking around with Saddam for 11 years?

Powell should bitch slap the ambassadors of Russia, France & Germany and make them like it.

[Spruce]

I smell Russian or French Para-Troops in Baghdad soon.

[Post Toasties]

Sorry, Igor. We've already got the necessary mandate. It's called UN Resolution 1441.

[vishnu2]

The Commies, er, Russians and their friends the Germans and the French may give us some grief in the UN but they in turn will lose billions in canceled contracts from Iraq after it attains freedom.

[watchin]

I wonder if everyone would feel more comfortable with the USA if we began to disarm? Surely we could find 10 or 12 old missiles to destroy before we go in and demolish the place.

[tomahawk]

It's not unilateral. It's multilateral with dozens of nations supporting and participating. Russia, France and Germany are partakers of Saddam's cup of mass murder. They are the parties in breach of world norms.

[Just mythoughts]

Interesting what since it was Stalin, while boycotting the UN, sent N. Korean troops down into the south, and then got the Chinese to send down 120,000 troops while Stalin gave them air cover.

I don't remember when the Soviets cleared up their standing as an UN member.

A UN mandate is not a prerequisite to launch a military strike, and they know this, how many people have they slaughtered without UN mandates.

Someone needs to tell them to sit down and shut up. "Curse be on their upper hairy arms.

[Mo1]

Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov warned that "if the United States unilaterally launched a military strike on Iraq without a UN mandate, it would be in violation of the UN charter," in which case the Security Council would have to "make appropriate decisions."

What are they going to do .. kick us out of the UN?

[TheLurkerX]

I don't know. This could be serious, and we might want to reconsider. If Russia takes us before the council, we might look up in 12 years and have to endure endless open ended inspections for the 18 resolutions passed condemning us, and if we don't comply, the USA might provide the funds and military to bring us into line. Oh wait, that's just stupid. Never mind.

[bart99]

I hope they demand our immediate, unconditional, apology.

What exactly is it they can even demand of us if we are bad boys in their eyes?? Seriously.

[twntaipan]

Would someone please tell the fools that for it to be unilateral all those other nations (Britain, Australia, Italy, Spain and many others) would have to decide they weren't with us? Would someone please inform the socialists of the world that to be multilateral does not require the UN to vote 100% for disarming Saddam?

[Jorge]

Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov warned that "if the United States unilaterally launched a military strike on Iraq without a UN mandate, it would be in violation of the UN charter," in which case the Security Council would have to "make appropriate decisions."

Perhaps they can reprimand us with a few more hollow and toothless mandates like those made against Iraq.

These cowards and hypocrites aren't in a position to warn the United States about anything.

[Thorondir]

Uncle Sam to Boris: "Sit down, you primitive fallen commie, eat some more stroganof, drink some more Wodka, and watch what a country of REAL men do when threatened. Other than that, JUST SHUT YOUR YAP!"

[Polybius]

...in which case the Security Council would have to "make appropriate decisions."

We can play the veto game to. So can our true allies, the Brits. So much for the Security Council.

[Enemy Of The State]

Moscow warns US? have they forgotten about MAD?

[CarmelValleyite]

More drivel from the Russkie morons
