After defying the UN to bomb a country for defying the UN, Bush invades, anyway.
After the invasion, he goes in front of the UN to defy them again, by saying "No, we aren't going to hand over power, but boy that child prostitution sure is a problem isn't it?"
As things continue to heat up Bremer hops an emergency flight to DC to say, "George this is a MESS!" and get the latest (what are we up to now, seven?) plan.
A few hundred maimed and wounded soldiers later, after donkey carts are used in attacking one of the "safe zones" for chrissakes, the Iraqi governing council (all American appointed, like the Iraqi ambassador to the US) decides to have the UN take over "peacekeeping duties" by June.
No more mythical WMDs, no more worries about "ties to terrorism" much less "the new front in the War on Terra (TM)", no more "where's Saddam", no more "they'll shower our troops with flowers", no more "their oil sales will refinance the rebuilding of the country" (after we shocked and awed the everlovin' crap out of them."
Well, we know what "the plan" is, anyway. Getting the troops out just five months before the next election.
But anyone who says this war was "political" is "attacking the President for attacking terrorists".
It will be interesting to see if the UN defies George, for a change. Will they be "irrelevant", or will they be "attacking the President" if they say, "you broke it, you fix it"?
Given the way things have worked out for the PNAC boys, I'll believe it when I see it.
