President Bush sent American troops into Iraq for the stated purpose of enforcing UN Security Council resolutions to disarm Iraq of its reputed WMDs. His intent was to strengthen the UN by making sure its words had meaning.

"All the world now faces a test, and the United Nations a difficult and defining moment. Are Security Council resolutions to be honored and enforced, or cast aside without consequence? Will the United Nations serve the purpose of its founding, or will it be irrelevant? ... We want the resolutions of the world's most important multilateral body to be enforced."

--President George W. Bush address to the UN General Assembly, September 12, 2002

"I want the United Nations to be effective.... it makes sense for there to be an international body that has got the backbone and the capacity to help keep the peace.... The message to the world is that we want the U.N. to succeed."

--President George W. Bush speech in Aberdeen, South Dakota, October 31, 2002

"America will be making only one determination: is Iraq meeting the terms of the Security Council resolution [1441] or not? ... If Iraq fails to fully comply, the United States and other nations will disarm Saddam Hussein."
