To kill relevance of UN for these indicted war criminals is the greatest tragedy of this new century. Russians, Chinese and French would definitely regret their decision in a week time when liberation forces would be garlanded in downtown Baghdad, the liberation of Baghdad is drawing near. The freedom of long suffering Iraqis is on hand and polarization of this whole liberation is despicable act of global diplomacy

Does this sound familiar? Do you remember your prediction?

Were you relying Chalabi’s promises when you said that the "liberation forces would be garlanded in downtown Baghdad"?

Here is where things stand:

We have so far lost about 800 of our young men and women in Iraq and had thousands more that are wounded and maimed.

We have the majority of Iraqis viewing us as "occupiers" not "liberators".

The Russians, Chinese and French are sitting pretty and thanking their foresight in not getting involved in this mess.

We have spent hundreds of billions of dollars in a war that was to have been substantially funded from the oil revenues of Iraq.

Finally, the United Nations that was dismissed by Bush as irrelevant and whose relevance you questioned is our hope for getting us out of this mess.

The UN’s Brahimi has been given carte blanche by the Bush administration to name the president, prime minister, vice presidents, etc of the interim Iraqi government. We better hope that Brahimi gets it right and that the Iraqi people are willing to live with his choices for the interim government.

Would you agree that you should get an "F" for your analysis of the outcome of the war with Iraq?

Are you as confident in the final outcome of the various analyses that you post about the war on terrorism and the geopolitics of the Middle East and South Asia, given the track record that you displayed above?

Like I said previously, you always speak with absolute conviction that the point of view that you hold is infallible - until you are proven wrong and then we don't hear a word thereafter.

You clearly don't believe in mea culpas!
