If the proposal, understood to be in the form of a short paragraph, becomes part of a second resolution and is adopted by the Security Council, the UN would oversee the establishment of a post-Saddam government and the UN, not the US, would take stewardship of Iraq's oilfields

The UN wants to "steward" the oilfields? This is a little strange. It's been obvious from the beginning that the countries against us in the UN are against us because of economic jealousy and now they want to "steward" Iraq's oilfields after we defeat Saddam. hmmm. It looks to me like they're saying to themselves: "well we know the US will go in, so let's at least grab the oil fields in the process". We've said that the Iraqis themselves will steward their own oil fields, haven't we?

(If the UN gets the oil fields, expect Bill Clinton to become head of the UN. It's always "follow the money".)

Sheesh, what a nightmare THAT would be.

Bill becoming head of the U.N. is a terrible prospect. Even Rush Limbaugh said it was on his radar screen, with a possibility that Hillary might be in the White House.

When does Kofi Anan's term expire? I thought it was 2006? That's two years before Hillary could (conceivably if Bush wins a second term) be elected.

Yikes. (music from JAWS plays in the background)

Okay you guys, this must NEVER happen. We've got to work our butts off, and pray much harder than we work.
