Bush Administration Considers UN Role in Iraq
Two stories today: one by Mike Allen and Vernon Loeb
of the Washington Post and another by Scott Lindlaw, Associated Press.
Matt's Chat: I do not see the UN agreeing to US control of UN forces. Therefore, I see this going nowhere. I hope I am wrong.
Mark's Remarks: I agree with my colleague, but wish to go further. The UN wants control after the hard work is done, of liberating, so they can claim all the credit. Then they will shut us out of profits. The UN needs revamping, the US needs out of the UN, and the UN needs out of America until it can get its act together. It has become an impotent institution controlled by civil rights abusers who chide us for violating rights.
Iraqi Cabinet Takes Oath of Office
Ain't democracy grand? This story is by Reuters
Matt's Chat: This is the exciting news of the day! We are finally seeing a visible Iraqi government. This is such an important, historic step for the people of Iraq.
Mark's Remarks: Hopefully, the Iraqi cabinet can do their part and take a more active role in growing the seeds of democracy and freedom in Iraq, and then we won't have to listen to the pundits cry about us as occupiers instead of what we really are, liberators!!!
Palestinians Rule Out a Vote of No Confidence in Abbas
This story is by the Associated Press.
Matt's Chat: I can't make up my mind whether this dude is a good guy or not. He is certainly better than Arafat, but I'm not so sure that the old "enemy of my enemy" adage quite works here. I can't put my finger on it just yet, but I don't think Abbas is completely trustworthy yet.
Mark's Remarks: I am willing to give anyone a fair shake, as long as it is not Arafat, and it looks like Abbas hates Arafat, which is a step in the right direction. I do not think we should trust him blindly, but we should support him while being vigilant. He might be the person to wake the Palestinians up to the damage Hamas and Arafat have done to their lives.
