Bush Seeks World Domination - Wants Unprecedented Control Of UN Forces

Washington bid to take over UN forces

THE United States is lobbying to put an American, possibly a general, in charge of all UN peacekeeping operations in a move that could offer Washington an exit strategy in Iraq.

The unprecedented US bid for the top UN peacekeeping post would place an American in command of the 95,000 UN peacekeepers in trouble spots from Lebanon to Sudan.

The American lobbying effort is set to prove hugely controversial. If successful, the change would amount to a radical remaking of the organisation, bringing it closer to its origin in World War II as a US-led alliance.

It is also stirring memories of the disastrous UN peace operation, led by the US, in Somalia in 1993, which ended in chaos and killing on the streets of the capital, Mogadishu.

1. They're in a big hurry to get out

Why the frantic scramble to put together some sort of exit? Sounds very dangerous for our troops.

5. another show of support no doubt

2. No, no, no, the UN must say NO!

He can't control himself or hiscongress or hiswar secretary how in the hell would anyone in their right mind give him authority to do anything with regard to anyone elses wellbeing?

3. One World Government, one step at a time!

The PNAC wants to rule the New World Order!

7. Poor dears, they still think we're a superpower.

No, darlings, you ended that illusion.

8. I don't think the rest of the countries in the UN will like the idea...

Leave it to Bush to try and grab every shred of power there is to grab. Hitler Junior!

10. It just emphasizes his loose hold on reality.

4. In the past, we would have supported our President on this, methinks.

Not this time, not this president. Sad, sad, mobilized.

6. I think Rome tried that strategy

and it didn't turn out so well

9. Another incredibly stupid idea

Even the most brilliant American general would attract too much bad will anywhere on the globe. It would unnecessarily "agitate the dots", assuring defeat for all efforts.
