Reply #3: I disagree in principle, but... [View All]

... in reviewing the actual congressional resolution (http://hnn.us/articles/1282.html) I don't see any language requiring that Bush gain the approval of the UN or the UN Security Council. Closest I can find is:

Whereas on September 12, 2002, President Bush committed the United States to `work with the United Nations Security Council to meet our common challenge' posed by Iraq and to `work for the necessary resolutions,' while also making clear that `the Security Council resolutions will be enforced, and the just demands of peace and security will be met, or action will be unavoidable';

... but even that is in no way definitive.

Can someone read over the resolution and find what I am missing?
