Nothing like stepping up to the stage, throwing the star off the edge, and taking the bow for all the work and success of the production...
A year ago, in Resolution 1546, the U.N. Security Council set out the timetable that Iraq, with the assistance of the United Nations and the international community, was expected to fulfill. The Brussels conference is a chance to reassure the Iraqi people that the international community stands with them in their brave efforts to rebuild their country, and that we recognize how much progress has been made in the face of daunting challenges.
The Iraqi people continue to endure a painful and difficult transition, and they still have a long and tough road ahead. The United Nations is privileged and determined to walk it with them. In doing so, we serve not only the people of Iraq, but the peoples of all nations.
Note: ZERO mention of the United States efforts in getting Iraq to this point. Besides knocking the star off the stage...he walked over to the soldier standing guard and slapped him in the face.
By contrast, Glenn Reynolds gives credit where credit is due.
