BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - European Union leaders pushed Friday for a new U.N. Security Council resolution to expand the United Nations' role in Iraq ahead of the U.S. handover of sovereignty, but they left the details vague.

The "Big Three" leaders of Germany, Britain and France, meanwhile, revealed they would hold their own get-together on homeland security after the adoption of new EU anti-terrorism measures.

The Iraq declaration adopted at the end of a two-day summit did not directly link a new U.N. resolution to a willingness to supply peacekeepers for the Iraq mission.

It stated that EU leaders "look forward to the U.N. playing a vital and growing role endorsed by the U.N. Security Council in the run-up to transition and beyond."


Diplomats said discussions had only begun on details and there were still differences on how much bigger the U.N. role should be.

Looks like the European Union wants to run the WORLD without providing any manpower, let the Americans die and we will reap the profits.

It looks like things must be turning around for the better in Iraq now so the UN wants to "take charge" so they can take credit for our (the coalitions) success later.
