Is it Bob or Boob? Cheney pissed away our choices when he committed us to "regime change by invasion". We can't be seen to be bluffing or we lose all credibility so we must attack alone if we can't strongarm the UN Security Council. The UN obviously does not want to rubber stamp a US invasion -- something extremely vague is the most they would do, and that would be done while they hold their noses to avoid the stench of the UN rotting its way into oblivion as a meaningful international institution. The UN loses all credibility if they sign off on Cheney's mission. Either way, this mission has a cloud over it and the cloud grows day-by-day. Sure, we can go to war alone. But whatever moral authority we ever had is all but gone. We might be feared. But we are no longer to be respected.
