NEWS: U.S. May Be Forced to Go Back to U.N. for Iraq Mandate [ed: LMAO at the criminal stupidity of the Bush neoCONs... and as they say... what goes around comes around... take another 6% off from Bush from the next poll by these news... the Bush house of cards continues to fall apart... like father like son... only worse...] Message 19126380 By CHRISTOPHER MARQUIS WASHINGTON, July 18 — The Bush administration, which spurned the United Nations in its drive to depose Saddam Hussein in Iraq, is finding itself forced back into the arms of the international body because other nations are refusing to contribute peacekeeping troops or reconstruction money without United Nations approval.

Administration officials contend that they are being practical, but within their ranks are policy makers sharply critical of the United Nations and those who would consider it humiliating to seek its mantle after risking American lives in the invasion that ousted Mr. Hussein.
