As to lack of support on UN Security Council; Did we ever expect support?

Well, we sure made much pretense of getting and having it. The media will use any lack of support to fan the flames of protest. We risk being put in the embarrassing position of having our plans icksnayed in terms of "world support" and appearing renegade. In short, we tried to make them relevant when they weren't and shouldn't have been. As much time as we've had to prepare, the Iraqis have had to prepare and this will be - if and when it comes - the single most telegraphed punch in the history of warfare. I only hope we do it right and get the job done and are able to move on to other threats in short order. But I suspect it will be bloodier than last time, and in two years we'll feel like we're living in the sixties and seventies all over again.

"He who controls communication rules the world."
The liberal press will do anything to destroy the U.S. in return for ratings and socialist power.
I think the media runs the U.N. The U.N. believes the propaganda rather than push it aside and seriously see the real world and decide for themselves. Example: Anti-war protests are big news in the media, but the 10,000 pro-U.S. protestors in S.Korea never made the airwaves. Gee, I wonder why. 100 anti-American protestors in Russia had re-runs!!!
