Teribus rewriting history again:

No point in going back to the UN although they do try, only to be told by France that France will veto any proposed resolution irrespective.

Ummm, Dubya said he'd call for a "show of hands" anyway just to show those cheese-eating surrender monkeys up for the iggnerant cowards they are. But cooler heads told him to drop that idea (as quietly as possible, and hope everyone forgot what he'd promised to do) because straw poll showed that even the U.S. arm-twisting and bribes would only garner 5 of 13 votes on the Security Council (and thus a veto by the French or Russians would have been just rubbing it in). So Dubya bravely turned his tail and fled, and went into Iraq anyway despite the opposition of most of the Security Council. Let's get the facts straight. Dubya pulled out prematurely, took his ball and went home. He never did "try" for the vote.

Cheers,
