India now apparently categorically rules out sending her troops to Iraq, UN resolution or no UN resolution. Unless of course we put some very high-end weapons on the table to sweeten the deal, in which case maybe they'll play ball.

This is just what I suspected, when I said that I did want the US to grovel for a UN resolution. Because we aren't going to get any troops from other nations anyway. The French and the Germans are never going to send significant amount of troops and India want the country that was held up as the reason that the US had to grovel at the UN. The Indian government gave as their original excuse the reason of not having a UN blessing, but now it turns out they did really want to send any troops even with a UN resolution.

I say that we quit the UN and kick them out of New York. If there is to be any groveling I say let the rest of the world come groveling to the US when they find out that they can't actually handle any world emergency without the US.
