>>Bush did not get what he wanted -- which was a green light to invade Iraq.

Bush does't need a green light to (re)invade Iraq. Never did. Your "Iraqi soverignty" resolution 687 says so.

>>But he got what he absolutely needed to keep the US public onside -- which is some kind of UN Resolution

The US Congress (read the US Public) gave the green light weeks ago. And actually he didn't "need" another vote from the Congress either.

Bush gets exactly what the US wants: Saddam's surrender one way or the other.

There's no debate here with you. You can bend and interpret all you want, but the world's desires haven't changed since the Gulf War. We just have a leader now who has the strength to lead the world to face up to 687. He put the US on the line to have the rest of the world deal with hard reality. That's what good presidents are supposed to do.

...and if the rest of the world doesn't deal with hard reality, then it's imperative the president preserves, protects and defends the United States unilaterally.

Some "incompetence", some "fisco".
