Quote:the infamous speeches featuring George's nice "You're either with us or with the Terrorists / against us" line as an indirect response to allies asking for more time for weapon inspections. (well, waiting two weeks is realy too much to ask when there is a risk of having bad weather conditions for an invasion during spring / summer) Guess what, being called a Terrorist is nothing that makes one feel positive towards the one making that claim!
You're pretty good at taking things out of context. That statement was to nations like Libya, Iran, Yeman, Pakistan, Sudan, UAE, etc. The message was clearly that we will no longer tolerate enclaves that allow terrorists safe harbor and training facilities.
It had nothing to do with France, or Germany's attitiudes and the security council's inability to grow a spine and follow up rhetoric with tangible actions. 12 years of flaunting the will of the world, and playing cat and mouse with UNSCOM and UNMOVIC was all the vacillation that the US would tolerate.
