oooh, we're the bad cop!

Mischief making here. The longer this has dragged out the more support the American people have for going it alone, WITHOUT THE UN..........not such a bad outcome.

The weather is not cooperating in Iraq and we should be grateful we haven't put our military at risk right now.

The jimmy carter fiasco in the desert ought to remind us that the climate is unforgiving there and at least our guys are safely in the sandy tents at the moment.

It's high time to ante up...

I heard Britt Hume say that some poll has been asking the American public something like "Is it time to stop the diplomacy and resolve the Iraq situation now, even if the UN can't agree?". Numbers have gone from the low 50s to the high 60s in the last two weeks.

Enough talk Dubya, time to pull the trigger.

[misunderestimated]

Another source has said it was "unseemly" for the Americans to bribe and cajole "corrupt" African countries on the Security Council to get their votes. He said this had allowed critics of US policy to accuse Mr Bush of using "dollar diplomacy" to secure a "coalition of the billing" to attack Iraq.

That's sure how it looks to me. It feels like groveling and I find it infuriatingly insulting to grovel at the feet of Guinea and Cameroon as well as Turkey with more and more offerings in an effort to pursue our own security.

Whoever the "unnamed official" is, real or fabricated, he could have been me and many others right here. We knew the 18th resolution was a disaster and wouldn't help Blair and would bite Bush in the ass.
Time to tell Tony: Thanks for your help, pal, but it's go time now. Your men and ours are ready. Either pull the switch or get the hell out of the way.

[Jorge]

Sir Jeremy Greenstock, the British ambassador to the UN, was singled out as undermining America's position by offering too many concessions in a futile attempt to secure another UN resolution.

It's all academic at this point since France has promised to reject any new resolution regardless.

At least Blair can say he went the extra mile.
Now it's time to act.

[medscribe]

Blair advised the Queen that the "head of state" needed to remain in the country next week and she cancelled her visit to Belgium, originally scheduled for next Tuesday and Wednesday. Now what could possibly happen next week in Britain that will require the attention of the head of state?

[tm22721]

Bush is no dummy.

He ses an oppotunity to destroy the UN as well as Saddam. Another week and America will be screaming for Chirac's head as well as Saddam's.

I say just wait another week and let American hate for the UN boil over.
