Future of Iraq Reopens U.S.-U.N. Divide

NEW YORK - President Bush (news - web sites) resumed on Wednesday his wobbly drive for support of a methodical and deliberative transition to democracy in Iraq (news - web sites), lobbying German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, a key critic.

Bush had an uphill task, as the difficult reconstruction of postwar Iraq reopened the divide between the United States and the United Nations (news - web sites) despite the president's softer rhetorical tone here.

"In an open world," Chirac said, "no one can live in isolation, no one can act alone in the name of all, and no one can accept the anarchy of a society without rules."

Bush suggested softly "Let us move forward."

In Washington, Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle said he thought Bush "lost an opportunity."

Dean -"an example of Bush's petulant foreign policy."

Gen. Wesley Clark ("Today" show)- "I think he (Bush) has really hurt us. ... We went in to Iraq on a lack of evidence ... Now we need help. No wonder he's having trouble getting it."

1. "Bush suggested softly, 'Let us move forward'...
...with me still in the the lead, of course."

Britain, Australia and several other nations stood with the United States. But Bush said Tuesday "some of the sovereign nations of this assembly disagree with our actions."
SOME??? Shouldn't that be MOST???

2. Fuzzy math
Some = Most in his mind.

Pay me now or pay me later and if you pay later you pay more.
