Lee Roy doesn't want the ball

Democrats keep urging the administration to turn operations in Iraq over to the UN. They sound like the coach who keeps yelling at his quarterback to give the ball to Lee Roy every play. The quarterback finally yells back to the coach, Lee Roy says he doesn't want the ball. Clearly the UN has no interest are aptitude for taking over the operations in Iraq. But,...

"A day after President Bush's surprise visit, Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Jack Reed (D-R.I.) arrived here Friday in less dramatic style, saying it was not too late to bring the United Nations back to Iraq.
