Im not a bot I call them like I see him and as it stands think little of Bush but sometimes from a military aspect it does make sense to put troops under foreign command. A divided military command tends to be disatorous under the following circumstances I would approve of placing US troops under a foreign commander A. The commander should be competent and from a sincere ally B. The US troops in that theatre of war are a minority compared to allied troops. Certainly I would prefer to be under British Field Marshall David Alexander's command in WWII Italy then American General Clark's.

However I doubt the circumstances are met here because the UN is not a sincere ally.
