This will give it more momentum.
Bush might turn out to be a 1 termer yet. He's ridden the updraft of terror war approval ratings and maybe gotten a bit too close to the sun. Like Icarus, the wax on his wings is starting to melt and he's got no policy parachute.. no real achievements at all when you think about it.. to catch him when the warmongering fails to bump his ratings.

The invasion is going to happen. The Administration stated prior to going to the UN that the USA does not need UN approval, and will act with or without UN approval. The Administration is just going through the motions, as we needed time to build up our forces in the area, anyhow. To go to the UN during this period is no harm, no foul, as far as the Administration is concerned. The US has already spent billions, and has disrupted tens of thousands of lifes within the active duty military and the Reservists, while positioning logistics, the machines of war and troops. Now Britain is sending part of its fleet and troops. The war machine is in motion and will not be stopped at this point. War is inevitable.
