I have a hunch that Russia is behind the French and German No vote. There was a lot of money coming out of Iraq for these countries and they were afraid that we would close the gold pot.
This morning Blair was moaning that we need the UN in the UN to participate in the resurrection of a free Iraq! He is pulling the UN into the picture so the socialist Parliment doesn't burn him at the stake.
Politics has a great deal to do with this mess. I still haven't determined exactly why we are in Iraq. Two choices, money and money.
How will we get the 20 billion food money in the UN coffers? There has to be UN involvement in "some" form. NOT in charge, but as just another agency UNDER US supervision.
We must make sure Iraqi oil is priced in US Dollars.
