This is an excellent development. Americans have been inculcated by the liberal media and educational institutions for 55 years about the "vital" role of the UN. Well, after the fiasco with the Iraq crisis, the UN must be very suspect in many people's minds. This resolution could be very useful in further exposing and de-ligitimizing the UN in the eyes of Americans. I would not expect support from the President and the administration at this stage. But the ground work is being laid for the dismantlement of this socialist abomination.

Bush believes in the need for the U.N. and I can understand where is coming from. But, I also believe he intentionally tried to make them look ineffectual in the Iraq matter to kind of "punish" them for crossing us in many cases.

Bush is a man of clear language and clear action, but he also has a side of incredible craftiness. What a President!

I just hope this at least gets out of committee, but that likely won't even happen. We need to start the discussion on this. Perhaps we should not withdraw, but we should do something funding-wise.
