Eh.... the UN authorized preparations for war under Resolution 1441. That is, it explicitly declared that failure to comply with Resolution 1441 would produce "serious consequences." The US complied with resolution 1441 (which France ignored) by preparing to carry out these "serious consequences" 1441 was clearly authorizing. Unfortunately, now we are being hosted by leagin the US troops prepared to carry out this resolution in the lurch in the Gulf.
