Bushie did build a coalition of countries that were with the US. He also presented his case to Congress and sought approval.

The idiot did not build a coalition of countries. Why? Because he would have had Israel and Hungary only. Most of Europe would have told him to pound sand. As for seeking Congressional approval, lol. The Legislative Branch has been his personal doormat for a year now.

The result. With Dubya, we knew it was coming and approximately when. With Dickhead, we get a weekend surprise. The reaction with the US citizens and the world? Predictable.
