There's something fundamentally loopy about your UN obsession. The Cheney / Rumsfeld inner circle that wanted the Iraq war most of all never bothered to hide their contempt for international institutions in general and the UN in particular. But somehow, you have them going to war for the UN. Whatever. As for the "grand jury" line, that's pretty silly too. The PNAC people set themselves up as prosecutor, judge, jury, and executioner in the matter. If you want to make a legal analogy, about the best you could say for the UN in the eyes of the PNAC people is that they saw it like a notary public or something, giving a pro-forma stamp of approval without any real say in the matter.
