President Readies U.S. for Prospect of Imminent War. The president said the U.S. would seek a U.N. vote even if it appears that a new resolution could not pass. A defeat would not deter him, he said, from disarming Iraq. By David E. Sanger with Felicity Barringer. [New York Times: NYT HomePage]
Of course, we've always known that the UN route was nothing more than a smoke-screen aimed at achieving some form of legitimacy for a wholly unjustified attack on Iraq. It's been hinted at several times before, but now at least we have it straight from the horse's mouth: 'Saddam Hussein pose[s] a direct threat to the security of the United States and . . . "we really don't need anybody's permission" to defend the United States.' Sure sounds like Texas-talk to me! It's like John Wayne and his 'a man's got to do what a man's got to do'.
May God protect us all from the consequences of this disastrous, irresponsible, ill-conceived action. It's taken Dubyoo just two years to unsettle countless international agreements and organisations. Now he appears hell-bent on blindly following an agenda which has already destabilised Euro-American relations and can only further complicate an already volatile situation in the Middle East.
