Carter: U.S. Should Involve U.N. in Iraq

WASHINGTON -- Former President Carter said Friday the United Nations should be asked to join the United States in postwar Iraq.

Carter, appearing on CNN's "Larry King Live," said an American commander should remain in charge of peacekeeping troops.

"But as far as dealing with economic matters, like extraction of oil, or political matters, forming a new government in Iraq, that, I think, almost has to be a multinational and not just United States and Great Britain acting almost alone," he said.

The former president called on Secretary of State Colin Powell to aggressively seek a role for the United Nations.
