No fair for the peacenix to pile on and try to take credit after the victory. As bush said early, you're either with us, or you're with the terrorists.

I am afraid they will take the money and give it to France and Russia for "outstanding" contracts with Saddam. I am serious, France has said we must pay for humanitarian needs and rebuild the damage we've done, then they will come and update the old oil equipment. Blair has to get along in his neck of the woods. I would not want to be him right now.
To: Reb Raider
The British people have hated the French since before hating the French was cool.
I don't think it will be too politically risky for Blair to deny France (or their little tea club - the UN) any input.

I am hoping this stands. I am worried the British won't go along with this. The Aussies apparently agree with us, or rather we agree with them.

Minor only compared to the size of the US contribution. Their moral support and cooperation is HUGE.

Powell said the United Nations should, however, have a role in a post-Saddam Iraq, if only because it makes it easier for other countries to contribute to reconstruction costs. France said: "We'll do the reconstructing and the US will pay us for it."
Powell says: "We'll do the reconstructing and France can chip in some money if they like."

Oh no! Do you mean Kofi will have to work harder to get his greedy hands on Iraq's oil revenue?
Won't be able to appoint Bill Clinton? Or Mandela? Or UBL?

AWESOME!
Reward only the nations that are now friends of America with post-war contracts.
Works for me.

Kat have you slept at all?
I listened to this live on CNN, caught two Congressman that essentially gave Colin the floor to say all he needed to say.
Rep. Vitter of LA is phenomenal! He asked all the right questions , as if rehearsed. This meeting seemed more for us to abandon the un than budget finance. They both concurred that the UN is a joke.
Rep. Sweeney of NY concurred and gave the platform to Colin also. And the same line we need to get out of the un.
I would suggest all Freepers catch this repeat, you won't be sorry. I intend to so I can catch what I missed.
There is currently no schedule up for CSpan, but it was the Budget Finance Committee, so Freepers look later, you'll be glad you did!

Look at the great job they're doing in what used to be Yugoslavia, which is an excellent analogy to Iraq in that both have mutually antagonistic ethnic groups that were kept from each other's throats by a despot. Who was the despot in Yugoslavia, my friend? When we start 'administering' Iraq, do we become depots by your definition?
Where is the analogy in that Yugoslavia didn't have WMD, never gassed anyone, never invaded another country, didn't threaten the world's oil supply or the USA? The EU, NATO and Clinton were the despots . As the Hague 'tribunal' is proving, Milosevic is more than a cut better than the lousey team the US had in the ninties. They shamed the country, and now were're asking for a second chance. It's a tough sell but with W and Republicans backing him, it's do able.

I am hoping with their brave soldiers lost, killed, and captured they will pull together as a country and refuse to give France the upper hand. Chirac has played his hand like he is dictator of European thought and hopefully that will force some kind of showdown. I still think we will go through some knashing of teeth with the U.N., but I am very encouraged by Powell's strong words. Hey, did you read about the British paper The Sun throwing "chicken" feathers all over a French "war ship" ? It's my favorite funny story lately!

Great, may USA be firm and hand Iraq to someone properly selected from the area. The U.N. untied, undone are totally irrevelant and need to be shown the door.

I hadn't seen that, but it is great news.

Oh my! How refreshing it is to hear those worlds. The U.N. doesn't matter. They didn't pay up, so now they can shut the HELL UP!

Yeah I read that. Hysterical!
