Some of these folks just don't get it -- Iraq is sticking their finger in the world's eye ! And here we have France insisting that the US show PROOF of what they presented (ummm..weren't the tapes and pictures proof enough?) -- menawhile Iraq screams "Liar, liar pants on fire" and all the talking heads nod sagely
It doesn't matter if they get it. Bush is playing a masterful game here that many are missing. IF the UN, along with the security council CHOOSE to do nothing, they are neutering themselves and relegating the UN and it's security council to the historical trash heap.
IF they do something, they support the US.
Either way, Bush and the US win. The only reason Powell gave this speech today is to provide justification to the American people and gain their support and at the same time undermine the entire credibility of the UN!
And it's working!!
