The 2000 Republican Party platform declared, "The United Nations was not designed to summon or lead armies in the field and, as a matter of U.S. sovereignty, American troops must never serve under United Nations command."

But yet:

In violation of a Bush campaign promise, the Bush administration is assigning U.S. troops to perform on U.N. missions under foreign command.

Who's really calling the shots here?:

"It is the sacred principles enshrined in the UN Charter to which we will henceforth pledge our allegiance." -

President George H.W. Bush, speech before the UN, February 1, 1992.

A "read my lips" moment.
