UN resolutions authorized us. US Congress resolutions authotized us.The UN Security council specifically held back on use of force authorization till after inspectors reported. Then they refused to give that authorization. That refusal was not a French veto but a lack of a majority vote. There was NO UN authorization.
Congress authorization was based on what now appears to be a false set of facts. Indeed, without the forged documents asserting uranium purchases, it would have failed, despite all the chem and bio talk. In retrospect, it appears all to have been false (maybe fraudulent, maybe stupidity).

Here's a tip Mike: when you accuse someone else of distorting the truth, it helps not to do it yourself.
He said "UN resolutions" not "The UN Security council"
Your indifference, however, betrays a pattern in your postings: you routinely gloss over important elements of the truth in favor of flowery speeches that don't address the facts.
