What I don't get is why would Pakistan table it? I thought they were our friend?

I have lost all track of who is what and with who.

All I know is that they are in a full panic and trying like hell to stop what needs to be done.

They are going to kill us all.

the pakis are working with the US on multiple fronts...

this could well be another behind the scenes deal GWB cut with the paki govn. (and the Saudis)..

I truly believe this president CARES a lot about our brave men and women in uniform, and he knows how ugly this war could get if Saddam uses his wmd[s]..

imagine if this proposal was tabled by the us/uk/spain..I bet the french will not buy in..

and with the middle six votes deem as critical for both sides (uk really need the second un resolution; the french wanna avoid a veto at all costs) and paki is tabling this deal...the middle six will become power brokers here...if the middle six want this passgae in the resolution, they will get that in...

and with paki as our friend, this is a backdoor way for (yet) once again, gwb plat a role to allow unity in the votes and the eventual exit of saddam (by force or by choice)...

pretty interesting indeed...

As another Freeper explained the other day, the verb "table" has opposite meanings in the U.S. and England. Over there, to "table" a proposal means to put it forth, as in "put it on the table". Here, "table" means to withdraw. You have to check the source of the article to figure out which one applies. The Herald is in England.

<> If this has already been answered, sorry for the repeat. "Tabled" in the UK means to propose the legislation, not nix it. Pakistan is the country that will nominate the idea to the SC.
