The UN doesn't even want to be involved, so what's the point? Since their headquarters was bombed they have lost most interest in increasing their representation there.
What makes anyone think the UN would be successful in taking on the whole project themselves (or even a significant portion of it)? Where would they get the troops to provide the security? Where would they get the money? Even in situations where they were 100% in favor of taking action, the implementation of plans was shoddy at best.
Knowing that the UN was already pulling back from Iraq, why would Bush come with a reconciliatory speech when he wouldn't get anything out of it?
