"...The U.N. would have to change its rules for this to happen, but I think they just might do that."Thanks for the ping.
You are right...they would have to change their rules. The Secretary General can not be from a country that is a permanent member of the Security Council. Would they change their rules? I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me if they did.
Another thought...did Billy Jeff buy a home in Ireland? I seem to remember he was looking at a place there.
As an aside, he has been running all over the world undermining the Bush administration and the US, and I wouldn't be surprised if he is behind an emboldened France, Germany and Belgium.
BTW, I believe this has been his goal all along.
President (for life) of the World
The United States has veto power over any rule change. The writer of this article is just talking when he said other countries are on board.
This is being floated by Clinton without any basis in fact!
No way is Great Britain or any of the permanent members going to allow anyone from this Country to head the UN -- they give lip service to Clinton but none of them are dumb enough to want him running the UN!
Not going to happen no matter how much this writer in Clinton's hip pocket wants it to happen.
We have much more important things to think of than this old rumor that keeps floating around.
