but the US has choosen its own leader, adnan pachachi and is trying to lure the council to reconsider its selection in favor of pachachi.

an interesting note:
so, is the US trying to scratch the backs of the arab nation because of them helping bush in his presidential push over the oil fiasco. 
good'ol interfering USA....... |
Don't forget the UN are doing this too.
Personally, I think they are nuts. The person that was picked was already westernised with strong ties to the US. I never thought the Iraqis would even accept him. And now the US and UN are pushing for someone even more closely linked? Talk about pushing your luck. And at 81, he hardly has a glistening career in front of him. Not meaning to be agist or anything. He isn't knocking on heaven's door, he has a foot in it.
