I'm a little slow, but.........

Why would Al Qaeda bomb the UN embassy in Bhagdad? That would not be too smart on their part. Is something fishy here?

And make it unlikely that the UN will become involved in the occupation, which would legitimize the US invasion. If other countries and most particularly the UN continue to refuse to be involved, the US continues to look bad.

but my point is that it would do the opposite. It would unite the UN, and draw more countries into the quagmire. Hence, maybe it was not Al Qaeda that did it. See what those Nazi Bastridges have done to me. I will believe almost anything at this point.

...saying the UN will remain in Iraq. (his statement from the Stockholm airport before boarding a plane for NY, from Agence France Presse)

reports that the entire UN staff is leaving the country....BTW, would YOU want to go there now ???

Kofi will likely continue to pay lip-service to the shrub, saying they will remain in Iraq (just as soon as the US gets the security situation under control -which could be a long time)...Kofi will NOT endanger any more UN diplomat lives...there will be LOTS of quiet discussions between the US and UN, as Kofi maneuvers for the interests of the world....

Bush would love to ad a few members to his coalition of the willing to make it look like it's not just the US and UK there. This makes them think twice. Then again maybe it's just some neocons hitting the UN to keep America calling the shots.


Japan Set To Put Off SDF Dispatch To Iraq Till '04-Nikkei
TOKYO (Nikkei)--The Japanese government will likely postpone dispatching the Self-Defense Forces to Iraq until next year, following Tuesday's bombing of the United Nations headquarters building in Baghdad, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported in its Wednesday evening edition, citing government sources.

The expansion of terrorist targets to include U.N. facilities and personnel, as well as U.S. and British troops, will further fuel concerns about the early dispatch of the SDF within the government and ruling coalition parties.

I think this shows that they do not discriminate - a foreigner is a foreigner.

Just a humble opinion.

How did they get a cement truck FULL OF C4 past two U.S. checkpoints? Fishy ain't the word for it!

We have way more incentive to bomb the UN...first idiot boy hates the UN and secondly, it's the perfect diversion while he's lolling around in Crawford. Everybody's been speculating that something was going to happen...I believe this is it. Even Bushco knows that can't get away with much more than a foreign attack right now. If something happened in the US, he'd be toast.

....sadly, without the UN, or with the UN cowed into position, the US gets what it wants...the OIL under bush* control only...it's that, or.....look at this massive explosion....no further words necessary....the UN got shrub's message...loud and clear...likely a Chalabi operation....

just voted unanimously to approve US appointed governing council. Again as with US enforced UN sanctions, the UN demonstrates whose tune they again dance to.

Go fish.

IMHO.

It's their way of warning the world that no one will ever get control of Iraq.

Looks like a regular old guerilla bombing to me.


I know this isn't widely known....so don't repeat this:

The Iraqis don't want foreigners on their soil.
