Come on, Tracy, that's smoke and mirrors. There was nothing obscure about our attempt to get a UN resolution to invade Iraq in 2003. They didn't say no but they wouldn't say yes until they found WMDs, which they did not find. I did not say Saddam Hussein was a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize. I was correcting Mike H.'s statement that "The UN Resolution allowed it."
