Iraqi UN Envoy: No Government for Him to Represent...

With U.S. troops in the heart of Baghdad, Iraq's U.N. ambassador declared on Thursday that "everything is over" and there was no government in Iraq left for him to represent.

"Everything is over. There is no government that I represent. I am representing my country right now," Mohammed Aldouri said in a brief interview with Reuters in New York.

Rumors have been sweeping the United Nations (news - web sites) that Aldouri was planning to leave New York and some television reports had him on a plane to Paris late on Wednesday.

"When I feel that everything is ready I will go. It's not easy to prepare yourself to leave," Aldouri said.

He added, "The continuity of the state of Iraq will continue. The new people will come with their own mission and they will continue to work at the United Nations."

Aldouri on Wednesday made the first admission by an Iraqi official that U.S. and British troops had overwhelmed his country after a three-week war, telling reporters "the game is over."

A law professor for most of his life, Aldouri said he had had no communication with his government for days and had had no relationship with President Saddam Hussein.

The ambassador had been a defender of Saddam's government as its chief U.N. representative, taking part in debates and maintaining that Iraq no longer had weapons of mass destruction.

On March 27, he said the United States, Britain and Australia were "about to start a real war of extermination that will kill everyone and destroy everything," prompting U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte to walk out of the Security Council chambers.

But he was liked personally among many colleagues.

When told about Aldouri's comments, British Ambassador Sir Jeremy Greenstock said on Wednesday, "I pay tribute to him acknowledging it. He is a decent man."

"I hope he finds a decent life, representing a decent government. He must wonder what his situation is now and I sympathize with him," Greenstock said.

Aldouri this week had been going about his duties at the United Nations, including attending meetings of Arab ambassadors. And will go to Syria supposedly to visit family.

The current Iraqi government holds the U.N. seat until another government hands in its credentials, something not expected to happen for many months. But it is unknown whether the handful of Iraqi diplomats in New York would stay on.

Aldouri took up his post in New York two years ago after serving as Iraq's ambassador to the United Nations' European headquarters in Geneva. A legal scholar and law school dean in Iraq, he is known for his fluency in the French language and literature.
