What if bush allows the UN to fully handle the Iraq mess?

Yes, I know that pigs haven't flown yet, and that , for bush, this would be a venture into unexplored territory (i.e., actual diplomacy).

However, there have been small and badly flawed movements toward getting the UN into the picture. But what if bush gradually drops one impossible condition after another, and actually lets the UN bail his sorry ass out of the Iraqi quagmire?

First, I believe it would be a PR coup that would send his approval rate up a big bunch. Second, it would neuter a big chunk of Gov. Dean's very appealing message and might even lessen the appeal of a Gen. Clark.

In short, I think such a move would make bush utterly unbeatable in 2004.

This is going to give me nightmares. Please help.
