"The problem is the neocons are his teammates."

Steeny, I have been actively involved in politics since 1958. I'm still not sure what a "neocon" is. I will say this. I believe the President went out of his way to appease the Left by going to the UN at all. After all, President Clinton had already set the precedent to not do so in the Balkans. It was going to fail from the start, mainly because the President of France was determined to protect his old friend Saddam Hussein. Once it was clear that France would veto, the rest of the Security Council got "wobbly." My view is that Mr. Bush should have told the UN to stuff it in January rather that appear weak and go begging to Cameroon, et al. Whose witch doctor as it that advised a "no" vote, anyway? But neocons? Dunno. I think it was bending over for Tony Blair that really caused the debacle. And it was worth it.
