Powell: US to Seek UN Resolutions Endorsing New Iraqi Government
US Secretary of State Colin Powell said his country will seek UN resolutions endorsing a future Iraqi government, oil sales and humanitarian aid, The Los Angeles Times reported on Thursday.

In an interview published by the newspaper, Powell said the United States and the coalition partners would take "a leading role" in post-war Iraq, and the United Nations would play "a vital role " in bringing stability and prosperity to the country.

He added that they need an endorsement of authority to start oil sales and make sure the humanitarian supplies continue to flow in the oil-for-food program.

Washington will likely seek more than one UN resolution on the issue, said Powell.

As for recent US warnings to Syria and Iran, Powell noted that they should not be interpreted as threats of war.

The official said they believe these countries should realize that pursuing weapons of mass destruction and supporting terrorist activities are not in their interest.
