#1 I give the in-line commentary a 9.9, Steve - great work!

As for this interminable UN engagement, pfeh. Reduce funding and reduce activity - namely doing anything but vetoing idiotic resolutions that come before the UNSC. Initiate nothing, volunteer nothing, engage no one in this venue. It is corrupt and pointless and all our efforts do is give Al Guardian something to spin. The UN is an anti-World Body of asinine autocrats, boring bystanders, callow corruption, despicable despots, egregious elitists, farking French, gutless gyrators, hateful harpies, inane imitators, jackoff Jew-haters, kinky kleptomanics, lame lapdogs, misogynistic multilateralists, nattering numbnuts,obfuscating onanists, prevaricating pussies,quixotic Quislings, rabid rapists, skilled sycophants, transcendant thieves, unctuous usurpers, vaccuous vermin, waffling wimps, xenodocheionologistic xenomaniacs, yeasty yammerers, zelophobic zoilists.

#3 New Improved Revised U.S. Resolution to the U.N. Security Council:

GO FARK YOURSELF!

The UN (including France) would only surrender Iraq back to the Saddam Loyalists and/or the Jihaldist (for a price - see 'Oil for Food Program').

It is our responsibility to protect the Iraqi people now and give them a chance at freedom and democracy.

#4 I don't think Cough-ee is part of the SC, is he? So why should his views be "taken into account"? He can sit at the back of the bus with the other General Assembly losers and STFU...

#5 unfortunately the french can use Kofis words to sway the fence sitters - chile, Mexico, Angola, etc. Instead of France being isolated, its now got important support. Kofi really betrayed us on this one - in previous few months he had maintained some distance from the French on Iraq.

OTOH Turkish willingness to participate in Iraq really helps - we need a UNSC resolution less now, and less urgently in terms of time.

Also i think everyone is digesting the political implications of the Kay report - does this help the French (no WMDS found) or the US (lots of obvious violations of UNSC res 1441)?

Also the situation on the ground continues to evolve - US deaths steady or declining VERY slowly, but no more big bombing attacks, power back to prewar levels, etc. All this is background that effects negotiating leverage.

#7 Members of the U.N. Security Council on Monday suggested changes to a U.S. draft resolution on Iraq that has been criticized for not giving the United Nations a big enough role.

This is all laughable. The U.S. does all the heavy lifting and the SC jerkoffs want a role "big enough"?

The only response that this deserves is an image of a big, fat middle finger.
