Hot off the press.

We need this help in the worst way.

Edit: I should add - it is another opportunity for W to pass the buck.

UNITED NATIONS (CNN) -- Bolstered by Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's assurances that there's been "substantial improvement" in security and stability in Iraq, the United Nations is considering boosting its presence in the country.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, left, and Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki talk to reporters Saturday.

"The international community cannot turn away from or ignore Iraq," U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told reporters Saturday.

"The time for determined, collective action has come."

He made the comments following high-level talks with foreign officials including U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on the topic.

The increased presence would not only support national reconciliation in Iraq, but also promote diplomatic relations between the country and its neighbors, Ban said. Watch Ban's pledge of help to Iraq »

Al-Maliki requested additional U.N. support for his country, maintaining the security situation has improved enough for that to happen, although he admitted that pockets of tension -- and terrorism -- remain

"We're trying to build a culture of peace and security, but to make this possible, we've stressed accountability and justice," al-Maliki said.
