| Howard calls for Iraq vote allowing force |
| 2003-02-09 |
| Australian Prime Minister John Howard says he wants a new clear-cut UN Security Council resolution on Iraq for enforcement of all elements of a disarmament resolution, including the threat of military action. Mr Howard is in Washington for an official visit that will include talks with President George W Bush. It is the first time Mr Howard has detailed what he expects from a new Security Council vote. "At this stage, I think I want (a resolution) that gives full authority to enforce the conditions of Resolution 1441," he said. A new resolution, he says, is unnecessary but would result in more countries committing military forces. "It would bring forth the greatest level of support and commitment and involvement." It's good to have the support, but even if there was a new resolution this afternoon, the same people saying it's necessary would be demanding yet a third resolution, after appropriate discussions, of course. They could find room for it on their calendars, oh... sometime next year. |

| #1 "It would bring forth the greatest level of support and commitment and involvement." But since nobody gives a rats ass about their allies anymore, it won't happen. The US should f**k Saddam for no other reason than to set the precedent. Some faggots around the world seem to have been asleep during the cold war. Now they come out and think they can play with the big boys? Don't think so. A bit off topic, sorry... I got pissed off. |
