It looks like an end run - in case of NO resolution. Bush is laying out a case for action under the September 14, 2001 resolution.

This is no end run - Para 17 of the presidents speech before the U.N. as well as the proposed resolution both contain statements linkin Iraq to Al Qaeda. No one wanted to acknowledge it, everyone was so caught up in the WMD debate that it was either ignored or overlooked.
