Correct. Doug, you are being willfully blind, that's all. You cannot pretend to honour a previous (and somewhat minor) U.N. resolution on Iraq by violating a subsequent very major U.N. resolution on Iraq which was passed specifically to STOP you from launching that pre-emptive invasion...

...unless you're an idiot, a hypocrite, or a liar.

I guess in Bush's case, it might be all three of those...but certainly the last two, anyway.

Or maybe I'll just be kind and say that Mr Bush succumbed to a major case of wishful thinking and selective listening. :-)

We do tend to see and hear only what we want to, right, Doug?

So just remain blind and deaf to the U.N.'s resolution against an American and Britsh invasion of Iraq, and you will continue to believe the sorry nonsense that you believe.

It's like saying, "My wife wanted me to make the neighbour pick up his garbage, so I went over there and shot him and picked it up myself! Now she's mad at me about that, but she's a stupid bitch anyway, and it's all her fault. She wanted the garbage picked up."

Meanwhile, the wife has begged you NOT to shoot the neighbour, because it would be irresponsible and criminal, and anyway, she just wanted the garbage picked up, that was all!

The wife in this case is the U.N. The neighbour is Iraq. And Bush is the guy who willfully ignores the wife's main resolution, in order to do what he wanted to do anyway...kill the neighbour and steal his property. Meanwhile, there's still garbage all over the place...because the garbage was not the point. The oil was the point.
