This is a interesting article

What I found interesting was the UN vote.

"The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously in November to extend the mandate of the U.S.-led forces until the end of 2007."

So I guess between partisan politican banterings, "That all is lost, Elect me!!", some real news on the facts actually comes out.

The Security council members are:


Membership in 2007

The Council is composed of five permanent members — China, France, Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States — and ten non-permament members (with year of term's end):

Belgium (2008) Italy (2008) Qatar (2007)
Congo (Republic of the) (2007)
Panama (2008) Slovakia (2007)
Ghana (2007) Peru (2007) South Africa (2008)
Indonesia (2008)



For the "sky is falling crowd, How did they all vote?"
