Pretend anything you like, but the US tried and failed to win support for the invasion of Iraq, and failing that decided it would do it on its own with a little gang of countries it called the "coalition of the willing" operating outside the UN.

As I recall, the US implemented its OWN SOLUTION to ousting Saddam from Kuwait in 1991.

And if memory serves me correctly, Operation: Iraqi Freedom's coalition members were greater in number (as participating countries) than in Desert Storm.
