I want, I want, I want!

The United States, using the bombing of the United Nations' compound in Baghdad on Tuesday as a rallying cry, is trying to build support for a new Security Council resolution to encourage former opponents of the war in Iraq to contribute military and financial aid to the reconstruction effort.

But, as Secretary of State Colin L. Powell made clear after meeting here today with the United Nations secretary general, Kofi Annan, the coalition would continue to command all military forces in Iraq. He gave no indication that the coalition would cede any of its political and economic authority, though he added that the United Nations' future role "can be discussed in the course of our negotiations on a resolution."

In other words, we still want control of Iraq and it's "resources", but we're tired of our soldiers getting shot. Would you other countries please send over some of your targets, I mean, soldiers?
