Years ago, all the United Nations did for Iraq was impose sanctions....only hurting the people, not Saddams regime.
Funny thing, the UN was bombed four years ago in Iraq, but the UN did not want have anything to do with the U.S. led coalition (which is now known as "multinational forces")....but, they were bombed anyway.
Now that the coalition forces have started to get things moving in the right direction (OH...while thousands of schools have been built, infastructure being restored/replaced/introduced, humanitarian aid by the U.S. and coalition forces.........you know, things that CNN won't report), the UN now wants to step in and actually do something.................
Wow, I guess this shows the mentality of a pro N.Korea UN Secretary General..........mmmm...that may be going to far, but I love how the term "U.S. led coalition" has been replaced by "Mulitnational Forces".New York, 10 August 2007 - Statement by the Secretary-General on extension of the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq

I welcome the decision of the Security Council today to renew and strengthen the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq through the unanimous adoption of Resolution 1770/2007.
The United Nations is deeply committed to helping the people of Iraq, and I am pleased to have the opportunity to now enhance, where possible, our contributions in crucial areas such as national reconciliation, regional dialogue, humanitarian assistance and human rights.
A peaceful and prosperous future is for Iraqis themselves to create, with the international community lending support to their efforts.
The United Nations looks forward to working in close partnership with the leaders and people of Iraq to explore how we can further our assistance under the terms of this resolution.
I take this opportunity to express my profound appreciation and respect to the people and government of Iraq for their courageous efforts to make their country more stable, democratic and prosperous.
As we remember our colleagues who died in Baghdad four years ago, I also take this opportunity to pay tribute to the brave men and women who continue to serve the United Nations in Iraq. As we move forward, their safety and security will remain a paramount concern |
