Of Course there are his own words...

So when the Crawford Village Idiot does go the UN on Tuesday, there really is only one benchmark for all the other countries to judge him by...his own words.

In an exclusive interview with Fox News' Brit Hume, Bush said he will declare in his speech Tuesday at the U.N. General Assembly that he "made the right decision and the others that joined us made the right decision" to invade Iraq.
...
Asked if he was willing for the United Nations to play a larger role in the political developments in Iraq to get a new resolution, Bush responded, "I'm not so sure we have to, for starters."

But he said he did think it would be helpful to get U.N. help in writing a constitution for Iraq.

"I mean, they're good at that," he said. "Or, perhaps when an election starts, they'll oversee the election. That would be deemed a larger role." (emphasis added)
...
The United States argues that U.N. resolution 1441, passed unanimously in November, provided sufficient authority for the U.S.-led war. That resolution threatened Baghdad with "serious consequences" if it failed to show it had handed over or destroyed its weapons of mass destruction.

"That's the resolution that said if you don't disarm there will be serious consequences," he said. "At least somebody (the United States) stood up and said this is a definition of serious consequences."

I notice that all the members of all the families of the 1600 Crew are still safe and sound. None have come home via Dover AFB in a flag-draped casket. That's what I call a "serious consequence"...

Basic problem: they don't understand that there can be serious consequences without war. Sending the ground troops is the only way they have to show disapproval.

As an American, I'm so terribly ashamed of our representation right now. My God, the wasted opportunities...
Bush may not have enough sense to know that he should be thoroughly humiliated to show his face in public--much less open his mouth to speak--but I do. And how.
