Well.....

Firstly the US needs to hand control to the UN(if they want it???),

That would be the same UN that cut-and-ran after the bombing a few months
ago? Or the same UN that blew the nation building effort in Somalia?
Ooops--forgot--they are one and the same, huh? Yeah, right...

Fools rush in where angles fear to tread!!, seems quite apt at
present.

The UN presence (600 aid workers) in Iraq was a team who were trying
to run aid to a country crippled by numerous attacks, they were there
to stop the population dying of starvation, they left after the second
attack when 22 of that 600 got blown up and the US could not provide
basic security, by any measure its time to go!!!


Problem with that theory is that they DECLINED the US offer to
provide increased security and decided they could do without it.

Kofi Annan later fired the UN officials responsible, his announcement
stated that the official concerned "appeared to be blinded by the
conviction that UN personnel and installations would not become
a target of attack, despite the clear warnings to the contrary".

Of the 2 officers directly responsible for overseeing security the
report said

""These two officers displayed profound lack of responsibility and
ineptitude"
