While I have been known to forget muffins in the oven, and once forgot to pick up a child at school, my memory is usually fairly decent. You are offering an interpretation, an opinion, allowing some sort of application by extension of the Desert Storm UN approval to our invasion. Obviously the other countries were not ready to take the action we wanted. The point-- again-- is that the SC was quite clear that it did not approve of force at that time, and several members would vote against it if it came to a vote. We decided we didn't need them. Again, the problem is that everyone seems to think that we need that approval and is trying awfully hard to create it. Why is that? The UN certainly doesn't think it approved. We know that we weren't getting UN cooperation. Why pretend we had it?
