And you think this is a good thing? Didn't we use this against the Kerry campaign saying he'd go to the UN for permission before he took military action? The UN is outdated and useless and it should be closed. How many more terrorists do you think will cross the border while we shuffle paper back and forth in the UN? We don't need their approval, those are Americans dying over there not Chileans and Zimbabwayans. We promised our troops that we'd never put them under a foreign command so why our we celebrating because Bolton got the Republic of Azzkickastan to sign a worthless resolution? The decision to use American military force lies with our elected American officials not inside the outdated walls of the UN.
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441 threatened unarticulated serious consequences for Iraq's failure to comply with disarmament obligations that had been set out in several previous resolutions.
It did not authorize an invasion of Iraq.
The US and Great Briton invaded anyway.
I suggested that a parallel strategy may be unfolding.
Parse my words all you want - I was trying to be optimistic. IMO, Bolton's first act showed fortitude.
