My God, you're an idiot. The whole point of
Bush going through the UN was to make the war more politically palatable and to have a large coalition at his back, thus saving tax dollars on troops and spending for reconstruction. Yet Bush should have been able to tell that he wasn't going to get much UN support that he wouldn't have gotten anyway, and thus could have launched a suprise attack. We might have caught Saddam a lot sooner.
Think about it from the perspective of Bush: we were going to war no matter what.
