Junior with hat in hand, asking the world for his finger back.

[myomy]

Can you believe the Bushites are now forced to go back to all the countries he gave the finger to just a few months ago and ask for help? What a mess they have made of the world, with most of the world warning not to do the Iraq makeover.This incompetence has to be addressed in the next election, these people have a huge Òcredibility gapÓ that all the world ,excepting the US of A, sees clearly.

1. unbelievable headline in LA Times today

"White House to Offer UN a Role in Iraq"

yeah, right....better one would be
"White House Begs UN to Oversee Mess in Iraq"

2. Yep, I've been laughing at headlines all morning

It's like we are so kind as to offer those who are begging us.........and that's what the repuke clowns will try to spin. But nobody is buying. Americans realize a fuck up when they see one.

3. We can only hope enough Amuricans can see it.

4. The White House is going to pervert this somehow

They are going to offer the UN (our allies) good terms, then change the terms so that the US is still running things. Then they (US) can blame France, Germany, and Russia if they don't get the support they demand.

5. France, Germany & Russia...

...will not send substantial troops to help GW and his Neo-Con crusaders in Iraq.

They'll stick by their original policy, they can get bashed by the neo-cons more; I don't think they really care. As countries they are finidng that they don't need the USA under Bush.

Bush has effectivly made our forgein clout and diplomatic power obsolete on so many levels.

6. I hope this is true. Too much influence and power by any one country

is bad for the world.

[Generic Other]

7. A little respectability wouldn't hurt

Being a laughingstock is no better.

8. I just saw a report saying U.S.A asking Canada to intervene at the U.N

I only caught the last little bit of the interview on CBC Newsworld, but it will be repeated again and I'll catch it then....It was Henry Champ saying something about the Americans believe the Canadians have influence at the United Nations and so are counting on Canada to intervene for them.....Another case of one of the countries Bush and company trashed being called upon for help now....They sure have lots of bridges to mend....Canada has just recently sent 2000 more troops to a very dangerous spot in Afghanistan to help.....I doubt if we'll send troops to Iraq....When you think about it, all the countries being called upon now by Bush were against this war and now that he's made such a mess over there he wants us to send our people over to be shot at instead of Americans....Sounds like a hell of a lot of nerve!
