Here's the headline we've all been waiting for:

U.S. seeks U.N. approval of multinational force in Iraq

If I'm not mistaken, this meets pretty much all of the demands of the anti-war left as personified by the ever-so realistic automaton John Kerry (it's amazing what they can do with robotics these days, ain't it?) The only thing they could object to is that the force would be US led. Of course, someone has to lead it, and it doesn't take a 2nd grade education to figure out that the US is the natural choice to take command, what with how we A) have the most troops, B) have been there from the beginning, and C) started all this shit in the first place. Nonetheless, I'm sure there'll be plenty of objections. The only true question remaining is whether the objections will be fiercest from our own home-grown left, or from across the Atlantic.

Wait, wait, I'm sorry, I've made a mistake. For a second there, I was operating under the assumption that there's actually some sort of rational framework under which these people (i.e. people who don't think like I do) operate, make decisions, and so on. The real truth of the matter is that they want us to fail, and are willing to say whatever it takes to encourage said failure without at the same time overtly giving away their true goal.

There's no way this resolution makes it past the security council. They can't afford to allow this resolution to succeed.

On a related theme, but slightly different note, you know what I'm really fucking sick of hearing? Well I'll tell ya. It's anytime some pretentious prick says, "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." Oh really? I don't think I really need to explain this one, but if anyone would like a more detailed breakdown, feel free to drop me a line.
