I see the neo-cons are trying the big lie technique again. Aside from Bush's poodle, Tony Blair, how many of the so-called coalition of the willing were bribed? All but Australia it would seem. Countries like the Ukraine and Georgia participated in the hopes of the shrubbery's support for joining NATO, which they were denied of course. As for the UN resolution, if you're referring to the one before the invasion, that was predicated on false information and a very deliberate campaign of deception. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:265986 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
