Kouchner at UN?

Apparently rumor has it that French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner may soon have a new job at the UN:

As reported by UN Forum, Under-Secretary-General Jean-Marie Guehenno, the Frenchman at the helm of peacekeeping operations (DPKO) at the Secretariat in New York, is rumored to retire from the UN after overseeing for the past seven years one of the largest and more strategic areas of UN activity....

A rumored candidate for DPKO, a French stronghold, is French Minister of Foreign Affairs Bernard Kouchner. “Diplomatic corridor talk in Paris circles around Dr. Bernard Kouchner,” UN Forum reports. “The hyperactive co-founder of Medecins Sans Frontiers is likely to leave his post end March, after French Municipal elections.”
