Remember when Bush was trying to get a UN resolution to authorize his invasion of Iraq? Nobody wanted to support the war, so Bush threatened them.
If Angola didn't vote yes, Bush would cut their aid.
If Mexico didn't vote yes, Bush would cut their immigration.
If Chile didn't vote yes, Bush would kill their free trade deal.
As it turned out, none of those countries supported the war. What ever happened to those threats? Did he do those things and we just didn't hear about them?
Or were they just the empty threats of a deluded, impotent leader of a fading power with no moral authority?
