Kevin: The U. S. and Great Britain keep watering down the language hoping they can come up with something that will be agreeable to a majority of the Security Council. Someone else alluded to that also in this thread. They all know it means war, they just don't want to say it in the resolution. As to Bush and Blair, I think they would be happy to include what you wish it to say, but then they might not get the vote of the undecideds.
