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

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".

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...

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.

Headline should read:

France, Germany, and Russia surrender to Bush.

I guess this is a timely vote being as how we're already in there leading the reconstruction of Iraq, and the U.N. can't do a damn thing to stop us!
