Well GOSH! That's really nice of the U.N.

[mewzilla]

Give AP credit. They found a pony in that pile called the UN.

[marlon]

Oh boy another Bush win. This combined with the tax cut, albeit not as big as we would like, must have the 9 dwarfs crying in their milk.

I guess Syria didn't want to be the odd ball on the vote so it's best to not show up. That just make a shutout victory for Bush against the Daschle quoted "failed diplomacy".

[Eric in the Ozarks]

W's on a roll.
Now, if we can just put Al Queda in a can and seal it tight...

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

Who died and made the U.N. the boss of the world? Screw the worthless, tyrannical, fake, corrupt, kangaroo court, U.N.

France got a piece of the pie I read...

So the UN gets to see our progress in a year (when we'll mostly be out) and we have to let weapons inspectors in after we say were done inspecting? Ok, fine.

Thanks for the AP article post.

Here is a link to a Reuters article/thread:

What was the UN's option? Kick the U.S. and Britain out of the UN? Kick us out of Iraq? Hold their breath until they turned blue?

We had them in a corner and we graciously let them out. Good diplomacy.

So the UN gets to see our progress in a year

And if they don't like what they see? Another STRONGLY worded resolution, OH NO! not that!

[Carry_Okie]

A victory for the United States would be if we hadn't asked.

[fooman]

if the un had not acted we would supposedly be in violation of the sanctions when needed to take oil for development of the country.

I dont agree with the need for the UN, but it will take the focus off of the US.

[sam_paine]

Hold their breath until they turned blue?

[....bluer.]

[VRWC_minion]

Headline should read:

France, Germany, and Russia surrender to Bush.

[thoughtomator]

their very near future

I'm afraid you're correct. The acceptance of a kufr based government is not only impossible, but actively discouraged by the words of the koran itself. No matter how much self governance we allow, it will always be considered kufr. Especially by the Shia population.

[VRWC_minion]

So basically what your saying is that Arabs are animals who cannot live peacefully without constant outside threats to their lives to cooperate ?

If thats true maybe us westerners better review our equality premises.
