Bush Administration Invites U.N. to Participate in Iraq

Not that the United Nations is going to be likely to support the cause without having its hand in the till, but the Bush Administration seems to be moving forward with plans to involve the international community:

“It’s a long-term, major undertaking, and it’s an international issue that requires an international response,” McClellan said. “And we are continuing to have those discussions with other countries. We are continuing to discuss this at the U.N. [which] has a very vital role to play in this process.”

The White House spokesman said that the Bush administration will continue to work closely with Congress regarding Iraq to ensure that all the resources needed for the reconstruction of Iraq are in place.
