I'm forced to agree... I don't see what the UN has to do with this, especially given that the court decision is still pending.
This just proves how much of a wimp Obama is... goes crying to the UN that he can't handle his own citizens...
It would keep on going. The United Nations is an international organization whose goals are cooperation, law, and pressing for human rights, among others. While it's understandable that you view America as so incredibly powerful and influential that all international organizations would fail if we didn't partipate, it's not correct. In addition, it's arguable that we'd more likely lose a lot of influence by doing such a thing.
Yes, that's exactly what the UN is all about on the surface. They are far more corrupt then any representative that's been elected on average... they are a political organization, in the sense how politicians will answer questions without ever actually answering the questions... and so, even in the face of denial Bush simply circumvented the UN and attacked Iraq on phony intelligence and "My way and I kill you anyway" level diplomacy skills.
I could go further, but someone else put it succinctly enough... the UN is a cesspit of corruption.
Let's assume you are correct that black market oil brought in more revenues. Once again, the UN failed, as did our president at the time (Clinton) and the press.

Eventually a price is paid for incompetence and corruption. Someone has to deal with the harsh realities at some point... and that task landed on Bush 43's desk.

Are you kidding, if anything Bush was finishing daddies war. That's why it required so much flawed intelligence, and all sorts of other things that will just detract...
I like Boo... me thinks he is a Republican dressing up as a Democrat.
Boo don't know Didley
....
After 12-years, 16 UN resolutions, kicking out weapons inspecteurs de la UN... one last chance after 911 is all that need be set on the table for the Despot to understand. He didn't take the out, and perhaps because he thought he bought off the UN. He pokered and lost.
And no, the UN can't stop us, but Democrats who hand over foreign policy as Clinton had... stop us.
The yellow bellied, corrupt to the core pervert.

This is not a left - right issue... this is a pro-war / anti-war issue.
No, Bush was reported to have had diplomatic talks where you can literally paraphrase as : If you don't prove a negative instantly we're going to bomb you... after how many years of sanctions the people were mostly defeated before they started shock and awe... and every few years they shift things around claim the war is over and move on.
