The UN would be completely ineffective in providing security in Iraq. There is little cohesion among UN forces. They are too divided and there is little esprit de corps. Each contributed force is primarily loyal to their home nation and their own organizations.
Additionally, the UN has little tolerance for any casualties. Where did they go after the first attack on them in Iraq? What makes anyone think they will be more committed to sticking it out at this point?
Monetarily they are ill prepared to take on the burden and it will inevitably fall entirely on US shoulders anyway.
