The resolution Kerry voted for specifically allowed independent action on the part of the US. It did not say or imply that the president could only use force if the United Nations Security Council approved: (a) AUTHORIZATION- The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to (1) defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq; and (2) enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq. (b) PRESIDENTIAL DETERMINATION- In connection with the exercise of the authority granted in subsection (a) to use force the President shall, prior to such exercise or as soon thereafter as may be feasible, but no later than 48 hours after exercising such authority, make available to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate his determination that (1) reliance by the United States on further diplomatic or other peaceful means alone either (A) will not adequately protect the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq or (B) is not likely to lead to enforcement of all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq; and (2) acting pursuant to this resolution is consistent with the United States and other countries continuing to take the necessary actions against international terrorists and terrorist organizations, including those nations, organizations or persons who planned, authorized, committed or aided the terrorists attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001. Kerry voted to give Bush freedom to make the determination. Kerry tries to have it both ways - he voted for the war resolution, for the Patriot Act, for No Child Left Behind reform, for the 2002 tax cuts. After he decided to run for President, he realized a policy of supporting Pres. Bush wouldn't resonate with with Democrat primary voters so he cynicallly flip-flopped. You know this is obvious to any unbiased observer.
