Jonah,
In response to the point you made with “Biden’s Talking Points” on “The Corner” — I think it’s important to point out that Biden, as well as several other Dems and the mainstream media–are all attempting to plant the notion that Bush admitted to a “mistake” by not involving the U.N. from the onset. This, of course, is poppycock, and a deliberate misrepresentation of the facts. President Bush wished from the start to have the U.N. involved with humanitarian efforts in Iraq. He simply (and correctly) did not want them making military decisions. He hasn’t veered from that same course.
