VIDEO- Bush on Jan31 03- Says doesn't have to get 2nd resolution from UN

Edited on Mon Mar-27-06 03:20 PM by liveoaktx

So he's saying Feck it, I can do what I want

(Edited to fix the date because DEMMIT, my mind wants to say Sept instead of January)

The question is whether Resolution 1441 gave him the authority to act on his own without UN approval-he says here, YES. So, then why even BOTHER to go make the case to the UN security council for the 2nd resolution which he never got before invading?
This is part of the press conference held immediately after the meeting detailed in the new memo that came out that shows Bush was determined to go to war regardless of what the UN or Saddam did.

1. Isn't it comical that the Reichies spout UN Resolution 1441 when they

want to justify the war, despite their desire to see that building totally destroyed in a terrorist attack, a la the Alfred P. Murrah building?

2. Bush does what he wants

and his approval is mid to low 30's. Remember that the Bushites always argue that they can do what they want but they will at least give you a chance to agree with them.

BTW there is no 31 in September.

3. Your subject lines seems to read this was in Sept 03...

This was in fact January 2003, before the start of
the war in March.

6. I think I've read Bush saying SEPTEMBER 11th one too many times

and it's trying to permanently alter my brain!

8. Heh.... and where would that intervention be? Gitmo Bay?

or perhaps a holding concentration camp being built right now by Halliburton.

10. "Let's show your cards, let's have the whip count" is what I recall Chimpy

saying as he challenged the UN Security Council. BTW, he had NSA/Condiliar bug the telephone conversations of the Sec Council members during that period before the vote.

Bush cancelled the vote when it was clear they didn't have the numbers.
