Former United States President, Bill Clinton, has his eyes on the UN. According to Clinton insiders and a UN senior source, he would like to take the job when Kofi Annan's term ends early in 2006. 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.

"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.

Intresting enough that if Kerry loses the election, Hillary Clinton would probably run in 2008. So Bill would not only be the possible UN Secretay General, but also the first man. Anyway, alot would be at stake in both of their political careers. I have to disagree that Bush being re-elected would halt him from acquiring this position. If the UN is to get back to what it is supposed to do, I think Clinton can do it. It would play favorable in the US, no matter who is elected.

Nothing has been confirmed from Bill Clinton Himself. Story will be updated as more is learned.

Just take a look at our current president, hes lead us into a war on false premises, and since hes become President he pushed our allies away, and now the world is more anti-American.

The false premises you are talking about came from the whole world's intelligence.... They were saying wmd existed before the war in Iraq, just read the 1999 UNSCOM report....... it wasn't just Bush, and for your information Clinton was saying the same thing as Bush did......

Clinton went as far as to attack Iraq in which hundreds of people died in a mosque as a supposedly milk factory was bombed under Clinton's watch...some other places in Iraq were bombed under the command of Clinton... Clinton also called for a coalition, yes it was formed under Clinton's watch, and he said that more force would be used if necessary to disarm Saddam and Iraq.....and so did say Kerry....

When Bush said in the second debate that Saddam would still be in power if Kerry was president Kerry said and I quote: "not necessarily".....

The only way that Saddam wouldn't be in power is if he was ousted like the coalition did....

The whole world was saying there was evidence that wmd were unnacounted for in Iraq, meaning that Iraq still had....

The only difference is that countries like Russia, France, China, Germany and some others just wanted more sanctions on Iraq so they could pocket more money in programs like the oild-for-food scandal...while 500,000 Iraqi children died once more...
