79. It doesn't add up

Certify or determine or whatever. Even without requiring any independent verification, if Bush determined that going to the UN was not going to work without actually going to the UN, then he would be discredited. Not only that, Bush* would appear to have such a weak case, that he was unwilling to make it to the world.

He went to the UN not because he was forced to by the resolution, because he WASN'T, but because he was FORCED to by the international community, in order to head off any attempt to pass a resolution forbidding the invasion.

Impossible. The US has a veto on the Security Council. And int'l public opinion didn't stop the invasion. Int'l public opinion doesn't force Bush* to do anything.
