U.S. to Ask U.N. for Wider Role in Iraq

[Turbulence]

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration is preparing to ask the United Nations to transform the U.S.-led force in Iraq to a multinational force and to play a leading role in forming an Iraqi government.

President Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell met on the issue Tuesday and agreed to move forward with a new U.N. resolution, an effort to attract more foreign contributions to postwar Iraq, three senior administration officials said on condition of anonymity.


Powell and his aides will begin talking about the new resolution in coming days with key members of the Security Council whose support is critical _ close ally Britain, as well as France and Russia, two countries that opposed the U.S.-led war.

9. Wouldn't THAT just about rip it?

As extreme as it sounds, you could be closer to the truth than you think!

Who would have expected them to do what they've done ALREADY?

I'll bet it IS possible to get the UN to send troops to Iraq, while _Bush sends troops to take charge of a full scale upper class rebellion in Venezuela which will mysteriously spring to life.
