Drudge Report tonight and by a UPI Chief, just tells me one
thing.................JESUS IS COMING FOR US VERY SOON!

Analysis: Clinton eyes U.N. post

By ROLAND FLAMINI, UPI Chief International Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 (UPI) -- Former U.S. President Bill Clinton has set his
sights on becoming U.N. secretary-general. A Clinton insider and a senior
U.N. source have told United Press International the 56-year-old former
president would like to be named leader of the world body when Kofi Annan's
term ends early in 2006.

"He definitely wants to do it," the Clinton insider said this week.

A Clinton candidacy is likely to receive overwhelming support from U.N.
member states, particularly the Third World. Diplomats in Washington say
Clinton would galvanize the United Nations and give an enormous boost to its
prestige. But the former president's hopes hang on a crucial question that
will not be addressed until after the presidential elections: can he get the
support of the U.S. government -- a prerequisite for nomination?

The political wisdom is that a second George W. Bush presidency would cut
him off at the pass. The notion of Clinton looming large in the
international arena from "the glass tower" in New York would be intolerable
to the Bush White House. If Democratic candidate, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.,
wins on Nov. 2 the prospect of Clinton as secretary-general won't exactly be
welcome either, but Kerry would find it much harder -- if not impossible --
to go against it.

After a Middle East U.N. Secretary General (Boutros Boutros Ghali) and an
African (Kofi Annan) it is generally considered Asia's turn to fill the
post, U.N. experts say. No announcement has been made, but behind the scenes
China is already pushing the candidacy of Thai Foreign Minister Surakiart
Sathirathai, who also seems to have U.S. support. If Clinton does emerge as
a candidate, however, China would most likely shift its support, the experts
say.

No American has ever been U.N. secretary-general, but the United States is
both host country to the United Nations and the major contributor to its
budget. A hostile U.S. Congress held up its dues for years -- until the
Clinton administration negotiated a payment plan for Washington's arrears.
Clinton also revived U.S. membership of UNESCO though the Americans did not
actually move back into their offices at the Paris-based scientific and
cultural U.N. agency until after the start of the Bush presidency.

President Reagan had taken the United States out of UNESCO in protest
against alleged corruption by former top agency officials.

Clinton is currently recovering from the heart bypass surgery he had to
undergo last month, and this has kept him away from the Kerry campaign after
a few initial support appearances. The former president has told friends and
Kerry staffers he plans to resume campaigning for Kerry, but on a limited
scale because his recovery has been gradual. He has talked of his interest
in taking over at the United Nations since the publication of his
commercially successful autobiography, which he recently said had sold 1.9
million copies. Writing the book kept him busy after leaving office in 2000,
but he is now ready to channel his considerable political skills and energy
into another role in public life.

There had been rumors that he would run the Third Way organization, the
world Social Democratic movement he had talked of launching together with
British Prime Minister Tony Blair and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder.
But the political alliance had come unstuck and the idea ran out of steam
partly because Blair and Schroeder found themselves on opposite sides in the
Bush-led Iraq war.

Putting Clinton in charge of the United Nations would be a real test of
international intentions, observers say.

"Critics of the U.N. complain that it's an organization without the muscle
and will to put its decisions into effect," the U.N. source observed.
"There's a good chance that Clinton could significantly change that
situation, and then we'll see if the critics mean what they say."
