Without the Iraq war resolution, Bush doesn't attack anything but his morning bagel. He can't. It's against the law. The Democrats who voted for it didn't take Iran and Syria off the table, they put Iraq on the table -- the table starts off empty.

And neither the Iraq resolution nor any of the backdoor handshakes that might have accompanied it forced him to do sh*t. Bush chose the pretense of UN cooperation as a PR gambit, and even if he had been "forced", his going to the UN is meaningless if it isn't coupled with a requirement to accept the UN's authority. Are we in Iraq under UN approval? No? Funny, that.

The Dems who thought they were negotiating with Bush got suckered. And so did you.
