We find this very hard to believe: Wolfowitz: Bombing changed U.N. moodExcerpts:
Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said Thursday the Bush administration has been pushing for months for a new U.N. resolution to internationalize the force in Iraq, but it took the bombing of the U.N. headquarters in Baghdad to change the "atmosphere in New York."
Seeking a new U.N. resolution, he said, "didn't sort of emerge out of nowhere a few days ago."
"It's been on our agenda ever since the fall of Baghdad," Wolfowitz said.
He described last month's deadly bombing of the U.N. headquarters in Baghdad as a "breakthrough -- a sad one" -- in bringing the international community aboard.
"The bombing of the U.N. headquarters, I think, changed the atmosphere in New York and it looks like we can move forward in that area," he said.
The notion that the Bush administration was champing at the bit to get the U.N. more involved, and that it was only after the bombing in Baghdad that the international community saw the wisdom of embracing the U.S. mission is, truly, beyond belief.
