Ann slipped this gem in without expanding much on it. Picture this: As the U.S. holds veto power on the Security Council, the resolution would be dead. But what if the U.S. represenative got angry and walked out (per W's instructions) similar to Russia's action just before the Korean police action. The Council might take the bait and act without the U.S. present, pass the resolution and order the U.S. out of Iraq. Then instead of the resolution being dead, the U.N. would be. (He said gleefully)
Not a bad strategery. A bit like daring a drunkard to pee on the third rail.
