[So, personally, I don't think that a sudden inexplicable desire on our part to 'enforce UN resolutions' was the primary motivation for our war in Iraq] "I'm inclined to agree, but that was certainly our excuse, and it was certainly legitimate no matter who else had been violating U.N. resolutions..." Er... only if we get APPOINTED 'enforcer of U.N. Resolutions'... which is, of course, solely a perogative of the United Nations. (As an example: the Security Council authorized military actions to enforce U.N. resolutions in the Korean War... and in Iraq after their attack on Kuwait. However they EXPLICITLY refused to authorize the latest Iraq War... and we, nor anyone else, do not have anything like a standing authorization to run around the world going to war in the 'name of the U.N.' :-) So, yeah, that particular claim is mostly spin aimed at domestic audiences....
