interesting political work the Bushies will need to figure out.

I am convinced that Bush will go without the UN if needed. The left here will go nuts if he goes without the UN, but if Bush wins and it is over quickly, the country will stay with him.

The US has a strong hand in the UN negotiations as Resolution 1441 does not require another UNSC vote; it only promises "consultations", which they will receive. If the Bush administration makes it clear that they will go forward with or without the UNSC vote, don't you think that makes a positive vote a bit more likely?
