No, Jim, it is not false - the original resolutions supported the 1991 Kuwaiti war of liberation - and that war did not end.

A Cease-Fire brought an end to hi-tempo combat ops; said agreement entered into by the defeated party, and said agreement being valid only insofar as the defeated party would abide by the conditions of the agreement.

When Saddam violated the Cease-Fire agreement, it automatically became null and void - thus Reinstating the condition of War by Default.

The no-fly zones, continued SAM launches on our aircraft, etc... the world commonly views this as a "non-war" war, and conveniently labels the happenings in Iraq as Gulf Wars I & II - History will show, however, that it is one war.

No, Jim, it is not false - the original resolutions supported the 1991 Kuwaiti war of liberation - and that war did not end.

What is false is that Bush acted to enforce UN Resolutions (at least, I sure hope it's false).

Our actions were to defend the United States, and they were made legitimate by HJ Res. 114, NOT by the UN.
