Turning their backs on Iraq

The signs are there. These two world leaders are keen to turn their backs on Iraq.

They said that they have done all that they could to restore ‘liberty’ in that embattled country and now want the international community to do their share.

And admitting that things could have been done differently after spending tens of billions of dollars in Iraq with no concrete results, they now want quick reforms of world bodies such as the United Nations, World Bank and IMF to tackle future crises like Iraq.

What I see is a sales pitch by these two for financial assistance from the world bodies and perhaps have the UN send its multi-national troops to take over from the Brits and the US to finish the botch-up job.

Bush and Blair are definitely thinking of pushing the buck elsewhere.
