The DickBush Oil Cartel/Repug National Committee United States will not cede control of Iraq to the United Nations if and when it overthrows Saddam Hussein, Colin Powell said on Wednesday. {"if"??}

"We didn't take on this huge burden with our coalition partners not to be able to have a significant dominating control over how it unfolds in the future," Powell told a House of Representatives subcommittee. "Besides, we were there first! It's ours! OURS!!"

"We would not support...essentially handing everything over to the U.N. for someone designated by the U.N. to suddenly become in charge of this whole operation," he added. "Unless the U.N. handed it over to someone like Halliburton or the Carlyle Group, of course." - link.




Russia slams US on Iraqi 'liberation' and warns against planting WMD 'evidence'
Pootie-Poot: "I'm no poodle."

"Russia on Wednesday fired a new broadside against the United States over its military action against Iraq, scorning claims its troops were 'liberating' Iraqis and accusing it of defying world opinion. Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov said 'What the United States is doing challenges not only Iraq, but the whole world. It is already becoming clear how far removed from reality are their attempts to present military action against Iraq as a triumphant march for the liberation of the Iraqi people with minimal casualties and destruction.'

'If there are claims by coalition forces about discovering weapons of mass destruction...only international inspectors can make a conclusive assessment of the origin of these weapons. No other evaluation and final conclusion can be accepted.' Ivanov's sharp attack, following President Vladimir Putin's fierce denunciation at the onset of U.S. military action on March 20, nonetheless marked another downturn in relations." - from here and democrats.com.
