Interesting paragraph in the Resolution:
"Iraq Resolution (Public Law 102-1),'' that Iraq's repression of its
civilian population violates United Nations Security Council
Resolution 688 and ``constitutes a continuing threat to the
peace, security, and stability of the Persian Gulf region,'' and
that Congress, ``supports the use of all necessary means to achieve
the goals of United Nations Security Council Resolution 688'';"
Apparently Bush has decided that *killing* the Iraqi civilian
population will comply with UN resolution 688. After all the Iraqi
civilian population can't be repressed if they're dead, right?
