Horsepucky.They weren't questioning the threat because they knew there was none. Even these two......They balked the moment it became clear that GWB was going to do something about Iraq,They didn't balk in 1990, nor did they balk at forcing Saddam to destroy his WMD after that war.Simple:If that's true why didn't the UN pass a resolution authorizing the use of force in 2003?The UN and the entire world supported the Iraq fiasco. To blame it all on Bush and Cheney is just ignorant.
Everyone got it wrong. It was a waste of lives and money. So was Viet Nam, but we seem incapable of learning from history.
When it comes to actually doing something, the UN balks.
Fortunately the US and her allies did not need a UN resolution to authorize their actions.
Prior to that point, no one, including the UN, questioned the threat posed by Iraq and its WMDs.
