The irony : Bush has restored credibility to the United Nations

[kentuck]

Before the war, many in the right-wing community thought the UN was a waste of time and money. They wanted us to drop out of the organization. Bush never respected the UN before he invaded Iraq. He used them to buy time to build up our forces in Kuwait. That was all they were useful for, in his mind.

However, after his "mission" turned sour and Americans started losing their lives by the hundreds, Mr Bush was painted in a corner. He could only ask our troops to go back to Iraq so many times before he would lose all credibility with the military. He had no choice. He had to approach the UN, directly or indirectly.

Now, we are approaching a June 30th deadline and Mr Bush is openly courting a UN proposal. He is no longer stabbing them in the back, once he has seen they are the only ones that can pull his fat out of the fire. The enemies of the UN have become its most ardent supporters.

4. The Bully wants to return to the Group he had rejected, Ouch.

Lemme count the ways:

Loss of:

Face,

Credibility,

Respect,

and Honor.

"The Now What Bush?" has done it again.

5. If the UN agrees to haul his chestnuts out of the fire...

...and I can imagine that most prosperous Western European nations will reject being part of that, I hope the UN humbles the moran big time.

9. They will make Bush Grovel first. He has to learn Humility

[alarcojon]

11. He will never learn humility

[opihimoimoi]

12. We can hope, wish, pray, that he does.

I agree, hardly promising. Picture not too bright for this one.

7. The Busholinis can't lose what they never had.

:shrug: Junior ain't the Emperor; he's the new clothes.

[opihimoimoi]

10. New clothes does not change the pig(pardons to real Pigs) into a Peacock

nor an Eagle, nor an Owl. He will live in shame when this is all done. Something he wants so desperatly to avoid, but too late, the Pub Masters have him where they want him, to take the BLAME. They get to go Resorts, golf, etc while Bush will crawl back to Crawford in shame trying to figure out how to ride the Segway.

2. How will the UN respond?

I bet five dollars that the UN will gratefully capitulate, glad to be seen favorably again. :eyes:

Personally, I feel the UN should respond, take over COMPLETELY, and punish the US for its appalling attitude and role in the matter. And keep * out of every managaerial discussion, but keep using our troops. We caused the slaughter, we need to pay for it too. (with the involvement of a competent force like the UN, we'll likely end up with far, far fewer US deaths. But we can't back out, that would be unethical, to say the least. But we should, as a country, give up our "control" of the situation completely.)

But I don't see them even slapping the US's proverbial wrist.

3. I thought the UN was just an irrelevant debating society

And now we're going back with hat in hand. Embarrassing.

6. BUSH WANTS OUT OF IRAQ SO BAD IT HE WOULD HAND IT BACK TO SADDAM

That's all this is. He does'nt care anymore with people getting taken every day at will, shooting up convoys, all Iraqi officials quiting and fleeing the country left and right.

8. So...he stamps his feet, calls them names

and after tearing apart the country, demolishing the infra struture, alienating the people and killing US troops he says....oops!?
