If true, that would make a nice political mess. If true, why did the US even bother getting UN involved this time ? US could have invoked breach of a bilateral agreement, and done whatever it wanted. Precisely the argument of Cheney and Rumsfield. They were talked out of it by Powell and Blair for political reasons. Powell was persuasive, but I think Blair was the clincher -- he said, if you do this unilaterally, not only am I not going to be able to act as your ally, my government is going to fall.
