Remember all the hang-wringing and attacks on Bush about this? He couldn't get it, and if he did, it would be a fractious vote? Guess not!

Unfortunately the UN still exists.
Unfortunately the UN is made up of thugs, socialists & globalists.
Unfortunately the UN just voted to remain relevent.

I suspect the unspoken disputes lie with the cash stashed in the Food for OIl program, and France's, etc.'s claims on it to pay off Iraqi debts.

A much underreported story, IMO.

Thanks for posting this. It appears that things are not going to hell in a hand basket in Iraq. If they were, the vote would not have been 15-to-0 vote which was a victory for the United States.

China, along with several of the smaller delegations, agreed with the Europeans' proposals but also felt that unity was crucial. The Chinese ambassador, Guangyo Wang, said Wednesday that he and his government tried to find a middle ground between Washington, which had almost closed the door on further negotiation, and the Europeans, who had made clear their plans to abstain.

THE MIND BOGGLES! We had to get former (Russia) and *current* Communist countries to convince our "allies" the French and Germans to go along ...
