15. Combine this with Annan's statement
of yesterday "There won't be any blue hats in Iraq" and Powell's earlier announcement of "four new members of the coalition" and I think you see the gaming going on here.

Annan knows that the US will never,ever give up control in Iraq and therefore what help the US gets will be from countries who are either bribed or economically blackmailed into helping. There won't be any formal UN declaration. Negroponte is only using the UN as a bullhorn to convince the voters of the United States that the Bush administration is making a serious attempt at "internationalizing" post war Iraq. Its counterfeit just like the attempts to get UN approval before the war
