So will the bombing of UN Headquarters make the UN support Bush's Oil War

[Iluvleiberman]

more than it is?

[Maple]

1. LOL no

.

[StandWatie]

2. uh, no..

they can't leave but I'm sure they wish they could..

[Jacobin]

3. We haven't wanted their support from the start

That means splitting the spoils of war. (Cheney wants ALL the oil)

We only wanted the fig leaf of their resolution.

The U.N. won't change its mind about sending troops

[rustydog]

4. World opinion and International Law state that America (Bush)

is responsible for the security of embassies and the UN in the country they presently occupy as the conquering superpower.

The car-bombing of the UN in Iraq showed the world that Bush sole concern is pumping oil, not securing the country or it's Embassies.

He certainly isn't doing anything to protect our troops, why would he protect embassay personnel?

5. Check this UN story from this morning...

UN claims broad role in Iraq, chides U.S. on safety
( 2003-07-19 10:24)

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan spelled out on Friday a broad and ambitious plan for a U.N. role in Iraq and prodded Britain and the United States to quickly establish order and let Iraqis control their future.

...

But he said Iraqis were lining up to tell the U.N. special representative in Iraq, Sergio Vieira de Mello, that quickly creating an interim government was their "central concern."

Vieira de Mello, who is also the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, had informed the military government that Iraqis must quickly be given tangible power, Annan said. "There is a pressing need to set out a clear and specific sequence of events leading to the end of military occupation."

7. Thanks for the link and article

6. Depends on who did it

If it was the Resistance, no.

If it was a "Coalition Incentive Operation," it will presumably persuade them to keep their misgivings to themselves and do as they're told.

[Iluvleiberman]

8. You think US troops did it? n/t

[DuctapeFatwa]

9. I don't know yet. We'll see who makes money from it

And what the Crusaders do next. Most probably we will never know.

[Iluvleiberman]

11. Got it. n/t

[Warpy]

12. I don't think this was a completely Resistance job.

This one smells too much like some of the recent bombings in Saudi Arabia, which has recently reported that 3000 of their angry young men have "gone missing" over the last 3 months, presumably into Iraq.

I think the Resistance may have come up with the idea of loading the C-4 into a garbage truck, an old Baath trick for moving contraband, but the rest of it has all the hallmarks of Saudi's finest nutcases.

[Jacobin]

14. And, why would they be nutcases?

Because they are trying to repulse the invader of another muslim country?

[bfusco]

10. not yet

They are stuck with the mess Bush and Co created and are probably extremly bitter that the UN was ignored on the decision to go to war. They will own assume a broader roll is this administration reliquishes control and Cheeney is not willing to share in the spoils. Unfortunatly things will get much uglier and will it be too late (if we are not already there yet)?

13. BBC does not think so
