So yes, it could have "run" post war Iraq from NYC head quarters, but it certainly could not have, and had no intention of having, the boots on the ground necessary to accomplish this.

The UN would have done this the way it does everything else -- with its permanent people where possible, and with people on loan from members otherwise. The boots on the ground would have been from many different nations, but they all would have been under baby blue helmets.

Of course they have a plan. And it is no longer hidden (and hasn't been for several months). See the letter I posted above. See the letter. That is why they are shooting at us.

I really don't understand the significance of the part of the letter, or the part you posted.

I didn't see the post, but I don't believe it is accurate because it just doesn't jive with what I've been reading. Sadr and his militia have been left hanging out to dry by the clergy, and it is just a matter of time before he is gone (I agree, most likely he will be killed, or turned over to authorities for proescution for the murder he is alleged to have committed).

When the facts don't agree with National Review Online, it's time to get new facts.
