August 21, 2003 -- WASHINGTON - Some United Nations staffers in Iraq demanded to leave over safety fears yesterday, a diplomatic source said as the organization's presence in Baghdad was plunged into confusion.

U.N. officials were trying to figure out how to protect workers while keeping a presence in Iraq the day after a truck bomb demolished the organization's Baghdad offices, killing at least 20 - including chief U.N. envoy Sergio Vieira de Mello.

What the hell is a UN political officer? Nevermind, I don't think I want to find out.

***Sources said other international relief organizations, including representatives of the European Union, Doctors Without Borders and Save the Children, were also re-evaluating their mission in Iraq. ****

Yeah, SURE! All these dogooder organizations are willing to help AS LONG AS THERE IS NO THREAT TO THEM. In the meantime, our service people risk their lives to bring peace to Iraq.

Annan is using this as an excuse to get his hot hands on the oil.

Pray for Pres. Bush and his advisors.

Exactly. The "courage" of these guys is underwhelming.

What a silly header. The UN was already in chaos. Now they're just scared.
