#4 He had my support until this line:

Now is the time for Washington to show leadership by ensuring that the U.N. plays the central role in building a new Iraq.

Right. Give them the central role. The UN ran with its tail between its legs with one bombing. I wouldn't let those corrupt bastards balance my checkbook.

#5 Some may accuse me of being more of a warmonger than a Nobel laureate, but I stand ready to face my critics. It is always easier to say no to war, even at the price of appeasement. But being politically correct means leaving the innocent to suffer the world over, from Phnom Penh to Baghdad. And that is what those who would cut and run from Iraq risk doing.

No sir, we admire your courage in saying this, and worry that you think too clearly for your own good.

#6 Well, Raj, the U.N. DID help Jose and the East Timorese out, with Australian foundations.

Unfortunately, the man in charge of East Timor for the U.N. was their only competent nation-builder, and the jihadis assassinated him for it. (Remember that Osama and AQ regard the liberation of Christian East Timor from Muslim Indonesia as a horrid crime, as does that vomit-brained fascist Chomsky now, after weeping crocodile tears for them all the years that it was politically profitable to do so)

#8 Now is the time for Washington to show leadership by ensuring that the U.N. plays the central role in building a new Iraq.

Whatever sense this guy might have been making was dashed on the rocks once this sentence was uttered.
