Kennedy Calls for US Withdrawl from Iraq
The United States should start to withdraw militarily and politically from Iraq and aim to pull out all troops as early as possible next year, Sen. Edward Kennedy said on Thursday. ...
I appreciate and endorse the idea of leaving Iraq in the hands of an all Iraqi government but wonder how Kennedy can expect the United Nations to perform suitably and with integrity in this situation. Doesn't he remember the oil-for-food scandal which exposed the systemic corruption of the UN Security Council? How did the UN peacekeepers perform in the Congo and why didn't they act in Rwanda?
Besides ending its military presence, Kennedy said the United States must stop making political decisions in Iraq and turn over full authority to the United Nations to help Baghdad set up a new government.
