>>Bush did not get what he wanted -- which was a green light to invade Iraq.

Bush does't need a green light to (re)invade Iraq. Never did. Your "Iraqi soverignty" resolution 687 says so.

>>But he got what he absolutely needed to keep the US public onside -- which is some kind of UN Resolution

The US Congress (read the US Public) gave the green light weeks ago. And actually he didn't "need" another vote from the Congress either.

Bush gets exactly what the US wants: Saddam's surrender one way or the other.

There's no debate here with you. You can bend and interpret all you want, but the world's desires haven't changed since the Gulf War. We just have a leader now who has the strength to lead the world to face up to 687. He put the US on the line to have the rest of the world deal with hard reality. That's what good presidents are supposed to do.

...and if the rest of the world doesn't deal with hard reality, then it's imperative the president preserves, protects and defends the United States unilaterally.

Some "incompetence", some "fisco".

It seems that every major newspaper in the United States, liberal and conservative alike, are characterizing yesterday's UN Resolution as major diplomatic victory for the Bush administration. You seem very hard pressed to give the man credit for anything.

It was an interesting move to throw back my idea to wait and see how this plays out before declaring Bush's Iraq policy a succeess or failure. I am willing to do that thouhgh. Are you?

Gst, check out Netease (NTES). Its a portal doing business in China.
I have no position in the stock but its up 824% ytd.Whoa!!
>>And then there is China's booming economy, which continues to grow at an 8 percent clip while the rest of the world just slogs on.

"I would say it's a combination of enthusiasm for what will in short order be the largest economy in the world and a belief that one of the portals will emerge as a profitable and sustainable venture along the lines of Yahoo (YHOO: news, chart, profile)," said Matt Ocko, managing director of Calif.-based venture capital firm Archimedes Capital.<<
