Here we go again .
President Bush haters, the United States haters, and the idiots of the left are calling again for this ridiculous multinational effort in Iraq. As usual the liberals who always love to create the sense of helplessness are calling more vigoursely for the U.N and international intervention in Iraq. They are telling us that we cannot do the job ourselves and we need the help of the world community. The liberals say that we need the help of France, Russia and Germany, i.e. the axis of weasels who gave us the grief before we went into Iraq. Let us analyze these nations one by one to see how much they can help.
In the last few weeks France has lost thousands of people in a heat wave. Some numbers put it as high as 10000 dead and this is equivalent approximately to 50000 people in the United States if we take the population ratio. These thousands died in France because they do not have the basic necessities to encounter a heat wave, their social medical system so messed up to save them. In other words, the French are poor and they are not a first class nation. Of course you have noticed that the liberal media and liberals did not mention anything abut this unfortunate tragedy in France because its does not fit their agenda. How can the liberals tell us that France is so important in rebuilding Iraq when they do have such problems in their socialist country? Can you imagine God forbids if we loose 50000 thousand people in a heat wave in the US what the liberal media will be doing to President Bush? You know the answer. The French do not have the military power or the economic power to help us in Iraq. In fact all what they want to have more oil contracts in Iraq to help their miserable socialist economy. They want to humiliate the United States by showing the world that we need their help. We do not need their help and we will never will. France is a mediocre paper tiger, end of discussion.
Germany lost few soldiers in Afghanistan months ago and after that they reduced their forces dramatically in this country. They are too weak to be in Iraq, we do not need their help.
Russia has been fighting the Chechens since 1995 and they could not totally subdue them so far. The Russian tactics in waging war and stabilizing places is totally different from us. Are we willing to bring an ally who kills thousands of people without discriminations between terrorists or innocent civilians? The Russian like the French are economically poor and their only object in Iraq is to make money for their extremely weak economy. Do we absolutely need their help in Iraq? No we do not need absolutely need their help, but it worthy to mention that the Russian are far better that the arrogant French and we can accommodate for a small Russian role in Iraq. We need Russia strategically in our ongoing war in terror because they border a lot of the old soviet Islamic republics, as well as Iran and Afghanistan
How about The United Nations and Mr. Kofi Annan? It will be a joke thinking that the United Nation as an effective military or political body. The United Nations should only be a humanitarian organization that can help in humanitarian missions in Iraq or other nations in the world primarily from the money they receive from the United States.
In conclusion, the United States must have the ultimate control militarily, policaly and economically in Iraq. First, our troops constitute 85% of the forces that liberated Iraq from Saddam Hussein regime thus we must have the military and political domination. Second, we are the wealthiest nation in the world and we can help Iraq far more than any other nation in building Iraq infrastructure but we expect Iraqis to pay us later on from their huge oil resources. Third, our military budget is more than the other 15 nations behind us combined including Russia, China, France, Germany, and Great Britain. In fact we do have 55% of the world military budget, thus it will be just a stupid ridiculous idea that we are helpless and we cannot accomplish the mission in Iraq on our own. It is just a liberal desperate propaganda to attack President Bush since all what they have tried before against him did not work. So this story that we need the help of the U.N and the Europeans will go for few more weeks and then it will vanish away like most of the stupid attack that the left has lunched on President Bush. Eventually the situation in Iraq will get much better in the coming months and the liberal would have wasted too much energy on this subject but it is almost guaranteed that they will come with another stupid and losing subject to fight President Bush.
I think the U.S. military simply wants to bring in the best troops for the job, and no troops are better at absorbing bullets without shooting back than U.N. troops.
The left want France and the UN involved so that they can have a say in what happens to Iraq .. which means they will only screw it up again.
I don't have a problem with the UN being there .. as long as it is just for humanitarian reasons .. like making sure the water is flowing and the electric is running
Other then that .. The UN should have no say at all
Critizing Bush is one thing .. slamming him for things that he didn't do and are not true is another
Also, having questions and fears about this war is understandable .. having a leftest agenda is another.
Yeh, Their Dictorial Socialist State (U.S.S.A.) vs. our Free Republic.
Let's just ignore them - NOT!

There has been more than one article posted on FR that indicated the main reason a lot of these senior citizens died is twofold. It's not just their socialist health care system, but also that it's August, which most French people get to take off ALL 31 DAYS OF for vacation. So millions of them were all "on holiday" at the beach hundreds or thousands of miles away and they didn't want to come home to take care of sick Grandma just because she was complaining "it's too hot." They told Granny to call the government for help instead, and remained on vacation. Well, the government didn't help, and Grandma died, because the average French person appears to have lost all sense of personal responsibility.
It didn't help that many Europeans are so arrogant about their "wonderful weather" that they've never bothered to install air conditioners in their homes. So when things do get hot, they're screwed.
