Saw old Kofi on today, and he seemed VERY reticent to want to tackle the post war reconstruction and management. Perhaps he finally realizes the UN pretty much sucks at everything except giving out humanitarian aid and administering post war Iraq is more than the UN can chew.

but, but, the Americans and the Brits are ignoring Khofi and now it looks like most of the axis of weasels are too - whatever will become of uh, er, whatever that organization he heads is called?

I think he was bought off by the promise of a U.N. humanitarion mission in Iraq. Kind of a take-it-or-leave-it deal.

They probably got the memo:
GWB: "Chiraq. No pie for you."
GWB: "Schroeder. No pie for you."
GWB: "Putin. No pie for you."
GWB: "Annon and the UN. No pie for you."

Well, good grief, no matter how you cut it the U.S. and the Brits bled for it and their taxpayers are going to pay for it. If there was a tiny shred of relevance in asking the others their opinions in the matter it escapes me.

... future UN participation in Iraq - ...France, Germany and Russia...From one of my daughter's favorite stories when she was just a little girl -
Oh no, said the little red hen to the dog, the pig, and the goat - you did not help me find the wheat, you did not help me plant the wheat, you did not help me cut the wheat, you did not help me grind the wheat, you did not help me bake the bread, and you will not help me eat the bread - I will eat it myself. And she did - it was delicious......

I think the UN and Europe continue to be absolutely stupefied as to just how much we - that is, the Bush Administration - have completely written them off. They've been really sending out the reporters and "analysts" over the last day or so trying to put pressure on the White House, clucking over and over and over that any Iraqi government "imposed by the US" and not
imposed approved by the UN will be "illegitimate" in the eyes of the public.
They still don't get it. The Bush Administration knows that we've reached the point where it's them or us. And Bush chooses us.

I wouldn't doubt that Negroponti had instructions to tell Kofi,
"unless you want to move this whole bunch of overstuffed slobs to Nigeria or Mogadishu, you probably don't want to go around stirring up trouble for George in post-war Iraq. We will take care of business - your not invited, nor are your axis-of-weasel friends".
Damn but I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall at that meeting.

Poor Koffi.. once King of the World.
But really, this was the first wise move I've seen him make in a long time. How irrelevant can one become? If he had gone to meet with "The Trio of d'Feat" he would have become even less relevant (if that was possible).
