No Easy Answers

John Kerry argues that the solution to Iraq is to bring in the UN, regardless of the cowardice, corruption, and incompetence that has defined the UN lately. Not even the Washington Post believes Kerry is right.

Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), the presumptive Democratic nominee, continues to advocate that the United States hand authority in Baghdad to the United Nations, ignoring the reality that the U.N. leadership is unwilling and unable to take over from the Coalition Provisional Authority.

The Post also scolds the Bush Administration for recently placing too much faith in the UN. I don't agree. I think Bush is calling the UN's bluff. He wants to draw attention to the corruption and the utter bumbling incompetence of the United Nations by placing it front and center of the Iraq stage.

Between now and the election, the UN will prove its utter incapacity in this regard and Bush will have Kerry's nuts on a skewer.
