(20033-09-03) — The United Nations will likely send a multinational force of troops to Iraq starting next month.
The plan, dubbed Operation Haughty Weasel, will use U.N. troops to guard important facilities, and to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people.
“It’s really a goodwill gesture,” said U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan. “We want to let the Iraqi people know that even though we opposed their liberation, we still love their petroleum. So…you know…no hard feelings.”
