Just another photo op opportunity for Bush, that's all! This was just goodwill on the part of the UN to see how truthful the Bush lying fascist criminals are. washingtonpost.com "But France, Russia, Germany and Pakistan said after the vote that they would not make any new military or financial contributions to support the resolution." But the overwhelming victory masked deep reservations by Secretary General Kofi Annan and other key members of the 15-nation council, who fear that the resolution's failure to accelerate the transition from U.S. control in Iraq would fuel continued resistance by Iraqi militants. Pakistan's U.N. ambassador, Munir Akram, warned that the ongoing U.S. occupation of Iraq would continue to incite violence in Iraq and announced that his government would reject an American request to send Pakistani peacekeepers to Iraq. "Pakistan will not be able to contribute to the multinational force," he said. France, Russia and Germany, the council's three leading opponents to the war, voiced frustration in a joint statement that the resolution hadn't assigned a more central role for the United Nations or set a clearer schedule for the transfer of power to Iraq. Germany's U.N. ambassador, Gunter Pleuger, said the council had squandered an opportunity to send "a clear signal that the transfer of sovereignty to the Iraqis will be accelerated."
