You forgot to include her next line.

They have no sovereign authority and they have no authority in absolutely agreed international law to bring into being a legitimate Iraqi government. The only body in the international system that can do that is the UN Security Council.

Gee, I thought only the Iraqi people had the right to "bring into being a legitimate Iraqi government." But besides the obvious mistake she made of whose right it is to pick a nation's government, they clearly don't want Saddam back, so why should the Iraqis want his friends from France and Russia to decide anything?

BTW, from the rest of that interview she sure sounds like one inarticulate, confused and bitter MP. She apparently opposed the war without a second UN resolution, but says removing Saddam was the right thing to do. Then she says that it's all illegitimate again because the UN isn't in charge of reconstruction and installing a new government. There isn't a coherent position in that whole interview. I wonder if she even understands why the US, Britain and Spain withdrew the second resolution.
