[golas1964]

Did they all go to Syria, or is this the prelude to the guerilla war?

[cyncooper]

Joe Scarborough just played clips of Hollywood lefties and they're prognostications of doom and gloom. Played the clips for laughs.

Frank Lunz up---Oh, plays the Pelosi clip. Ack

[CurlyBill]

Not sure, but I saw some footage...possibly file footage.

has anyone heard anything about the world bank requiring a UN resolution?

World Bank, IMF Shareholders Split on Iraq (United Nations)

World Bank, IMF Shareholders Split on Iraq Thu April 10, 2003 09:50 PM ET By Anna Willard WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The IMF and World Bank heads want their shareholders' consensus before working to rebuild Iraq, but some countries worry the United States is trying to use the multilateral lenders to cut out the U.N. According to a World Bank official, Britain, France and Germany do not want the bank and fund to render assistance to the war-battered country without the United Nations' blessing. These countries fear President Bush would use the IMF and World Bank as an excuse to say he is taking a multilateral route, the official said.

---snip---The United States, which as the largest shareholder of both institutions is often accused of using the two institutions to achieve its own political ends, is pushing for them to get to work on Iraq right away. World Bank President James Wolfensohn and IMF Managing Director Horst Koehler are trying to avoid being caught in the middle. They have both said they are ready to help, if they are asked, but they need the backing of their shareholders -- the same countries that belong to the UN -- before embarking on the task of assessing how much help Iraq will actually need.

"Because of the complexity of this situation and because of the sanctions....it is a subject which I personally think I should take to the board," Wolfensohn said at a press conference on Thursday.

---snip---

Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snow said Wolfensohn should rethink his comments and said no further authority is needed for the bank to get involved.

"I guess I'm surprised by (the) statement that even on technical assessment (Wolfensohn) has to wait for other authorization before he can proceed," Snow said at a later press briefing in response to a question.

"I hope he rethinks that, because I think the World Bank today should be getting involved and trying to make those assessments."

The World Bank chief told Reuters earlier this week that it is not possible to do an assessment of the costs involved in the reconstruction of Iraq while sitting in Washington.

[CurlyBill]

This sounds like it's a different one than was mentioned earlier, from what she was saying anyway.

[cspackler]
