Reflections on the "New American" Revolution

Iraq: Blair and Bush seek new UN backing: "'We will have to cover the continuing multinational force and endorse that as being the clear wish of the Iraq people. And we'll need to look forward to what is going to be this enhanced UN role post 30 June.' "
The irony of going to the UN security council and getting a "mandate" that expresses the "the clear wish of the Iraq people" says a lot about the cynicism of Bush and Blair. They are trying to use the UN as cover for continued occupation--it's their last resort for legitimacy. And so they undermine it further.
