Now how many of you poor paranoid buggers are out there looking under your car with a flashlight?

Every day, leprechaun, every day... ;-)

Teribus, you missed the key part of my post. I said "under the terms of the UN resolution". And I was right. If Bush "prosecutes a war" against Iraq with only the authority given him by the US Congress, it he would not be doing it "under the terms of the UN resolution". So my post was correct, and troll's post was a nonsequitur.

People who wave that resolution around as justification for Bush to prosecute the war need to understand that if he does so without the go ahead from the UN (which he does not have right now), he will be doing it in violation of international laws that the US is bound to by the fact of having agreed to them and having signed them.
