(1) The first quarter or so deals with Iraq’s well-documented breaches and violations of various resolutions and agreements over the past decade and isn’t very revealing or interesting. (2) He claims that a second UN Resolution could have been negotiated had France not indicated that it would be vetoed “whatever the circumstances.” (If this is the case, why could the coalition not offer Iraq (independently of the UN) the resolution that could have been negotiated?) (3) He positions the UN’s response to Iraq as a test of how the UN will deal with other situations in the future. (For example, North Korea.) 12:55
