U.S. Abandons Idea of Bigger U.N. Role in Iraq Occupation: "U.S. Abandons Idea of Bigger U.N. Role in Iraq Occupation
By STEVEN R. WEISMAN with FELICITY BARRINGER

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 — The Bush administration has abandoned the idea of giving the United Nations more of a role in the occupation of Iraq as sought by France, India and other countries as a condition for their participation in peacekeeping there, administration officials said today.

AT WHOS G.D. expences are we playing this political game .... OUR CHILDRENS, that whos!!!!!!!! so BECHTEL and companies like Halliburton, the Texas oil services company where Vice President Dick Cheney was chief executive from 1995 to 2000 can have its fat profit from rebuilding IRAQ ?
BECHTEL is the same company responsible for the cost over-runs in the BOSTON BIG DIG!!
