"U.N. will have a central role, as now, in developing the program and machinery for political transition to full Iraqi democracy," said Blair, adding that the two leaders would seek a new Security Council resolution to put the weight of the world body behind the shift.
Here, weight = preponderance; world body = UN; shift = turnover of the Iraq power.
Right?

Yesterday my 12 year old grandson said that he thought all the people trying or wishing American to be taken out were stupid. I asked him why he would say such a thing and he replied that he knew how to do it without airplanes. Just get a bunch of guys together in evey connecting state to start setting fires at the same time. It'd cost so much to fight all the fires that America would go broke in no time.
Here, state = nation = country ?
connecting = ?
State- eg Texas, California.
Ah, Phoenix, that is to say that Bush and Blair seek a resolution that UN's influence will take effect only after the shift has been made -- but before the shift, please relax, we coalition can do anything effectively.
Right?
=========================================
Wilso, so "trying or wishing American to be taken out were stupid" means "trying or wishing American to be killed were stupid"? The boy has been cheated by some mofos...

"Here, state = nation = country ?

he means that the arsonists should concentrate on the states that touch each other (ie, california and nevada) and not waste time starting fires in Alaska and Hawaii.

Of course, some knowledge of American geography was helpful in this case. Something that I lack.

Strategically speaking, all ideas from terrorism are stupid; but tactically speaking, we all know some terrorists are so insidious that we should keep an eye on them. Seen in this light, they are "smart".
