I said the invasion was supported by UN resolutions, meaning all the resolutions about Iraqi aggression dating back to 1992. As has been pointed out here before, the first Gulf War never officially ended, we just stopped short of invading and put Iraq into a long-term siege, if you will. As I have noted, future historians will regard the span of years from 1991 to the present as a single prolonged conflict.
