any statement from Bush-Blair meeting on UN role?

I haven't heard anything formal, but did hear Bush was firm in keeping the UN, France, Germany and Russia at arm's length; no matter how much Tony wants otherwise.

Press is creating and hungering for a fight between Bush-Blair and Powell-Rumsfeld. Must handle this UN thing delicately.

Geeze Louise I sure hope so. I saw Koffee Kan on TV today gasping for relevance, claiming that only the UN could bring legitimacy to the new Iraq. Frankly I wouldn't trust anything the UN created in Iraq. Or anywhere else. I actually emailed the whitehouse.gov site about this. Prairie (fuming but not surprised at the arrogance of the UN Weasles---keep 'em out of Iraq GW!!)

A Coalition of the UNwilling Warriors is not able to put together a plan to aid Iraqis in installing a new self-government. This is sooooo bogus.
