Any Thoughts how "International Coalition" will view O'Neil's Revelations
Edited on Sat Jan-10-04 07:48 PM by KoKo01
Any thoughts on how O'Neil's comments that America was making plans for Iraq Invasion before 9/11 will play in the populations of the "Coaltion of the Few and Willing" who supported us in Iraq?

What about the "Farce" of Powell's testimony before the United Nations? What does this do to "undermine the strenght of the UN' in the eyes of the WORLD? How do the other UN Members feel about Blair, Bush, Aznar going into Iraq against the other "Leading Nations" of the UN?

What does this bode for the UN being the chief power to do WMD Inspections, what does it do for their putting "Sanctions and declaring Resolutions against future countries who might REALLY HAVE WMD?

Hasn't Bush/Blair/Aznar and the rest of the "Coalition of the Unwilling" made a "laughing stock of the UN?"

Does the UN even exist anymore given that they were "lied to and manipulated" by these three countries?

Will the populations of those countries who had HUGE anti-Iraq Invasion Demonstrations THROW their Leaders Out?

Should their Leaders be Thrown out over this?

1. They won't care
Excepting perhaps Britain, all the states in the coalition of the willing didn't join because of they thought the war was necessary for their self defense. Instead they joined because they were bribed in various ways by the * administration. As long as the money and favors keep coming they couldn't care less.

2. I assume it won't come as a surprise. PNAC isn't exactly a secret.,
The reason there wasn't any support for the war internationally for the war is because most countries didn't believe the US hyperbole.

3. I suspect Blair could go down over this. I think Spain population might
not be so happy about Aznar. And, maybe even Koizumi of Japan might start to have "touble at home" because he insisted on send in a few troops although he's the one "propping up our national debt by printing money to fund it." Still, it's his population and the last poll I saw said Japanese were not so happy about supporting Bush's War.
