Teribus--

You are truly the master of the old soft-shoe.

But, as TIA has pointed out, you still somehow have managed to avoid actually answering the question.

Once more with feeling: Did Bush have UN approval for his invasion of Iraq? Yes or no?

Now we've seen your song and dance. Broadway beckons you. But we'd just like a yes or no.

And if you didn't want to be addressed on the issue, you always had the option of not commenting on the UN and Bush. But you did--so, like BB, you are now cordially invited to cite the UN resolution giving Bush authority to invade Iraq.

NB: If by some chance you, BB etc. are unable to do so, you are admitting the UN never did give Bush the authority. And in that case, please be so good as to refrain---forever--from quoting UN resolutions as an excuse for Bush's invasion--since they are only up to the UN--or its chosen agents--to enforce.

And therefore your erudition on the subject of UN resolutions--though truly wondrous to behold, and, I'm sure, very impressive when you recite them around the house--is totally irrelevant to Bush's invasion.
