You mean to say, that the French were attacked, the next day they
retaliated, but they had a vote in the UN to do this? All in just one
day? Did the USA vote on this?

Although my wife loves escargot, I'd more than "an" excellent stout.
Perhaps four or five pints.

So fucking what?

Did you miss the part about the oil for money scam, just for a fresh one?

Did you miss the entire circus that the UN has become?

Get it through your head;

The US doesn't seek, need or require a UN anything, for any reason.

What did the UN do about 30 years of suicide bombings, the *two* WTC
attacks, Kosovo, Sudan, Somalia?

Shut the fuck about the UN, no one gives a shit except people too stupid or
misguided to see the simple fucking truth.

We just re-elected Dubya; what makes you think we give a flying *fuck* about
what the UN approves or doesn't?

Better yet, try and figure out why we, all the 50 million plus dumb ass
rednecks, might feel so strongly in direct opposition to you.

Well, the Greenpeace boats probably needed sinking anyway... Damn
treehugging eco-terrorist whale fuckers...

Ok. What do you have to replace it, other than swift use of military force?

And what about the other part?

They were there as part of the UN peace keeping force since 2003. They
had a mandate.
