Now Bush (through Powell, who is the only one of this bunch of trigger-happy clowns
( in the current American regime)   who makes any sense) is asking the UN to come pull his chestnuts out of the fire in Iraq. After years (a political lifetime?) of denigrating the UN, now Bush wants a new UN resolution and more UN participation, so that the US and UK will not be going it alone, particularly since other participants are showing signs of easing out. I wonder how the Wall St. Journal editorial writers and other mindless Bushites will spin this.

I hope Kerry rubs this in every chance he gets. Eh, Doug R. et al.?


Also, now we'll see if somebody can rein in the cowboys who are saying "we will capture or destroy al-Sadr", as they prepare to attack the Vatican of Shiite Islam. Sounds like said cowboys should also, like Bush, have a nice feast of crow to dine on quite soon. Either that or they will in fact be stupid enough to attack the holy city of Najaf and further inflame Shiite Moslems all over the world.
