I would take that bet in a heartbeat. No way could they cobble together a coalition of troops sufficient to quell the claims that it's a puppet force of the US. Any US presence in the ranks would nullify any belief that the UN was in control.
Not that it matters since it would never happen. But, the insurgents do not want free elections and the UN would be trying to accomplish exactly the goals that the insurgency is trying to stop.
As an Iraqi government is formed they will be under pressure from their citizens to quell the insurgency. If they want to stay in power they will need to at least look like they're making progress.
