Bush did try to get UN approval.

Wrong. He tried to get the UN help pay for the attack, but he did not ever submit to UN authority, and he explicitly stated this.

He even held off on the attack for some time trying to work out that approval

Wrong. He was waiting for the military to get into position. Once they were in position, he attacked.

IMO any President who said that -- who took the position that if the UN did not approve of a military action we would not take it -- would be committing treason.

That's a fairly radical viewpoint. Most people feel that we shouldn't offend the rest of the world unless we are being threatened. Why do you feel the need to post on the "Moderate Forum"?
