Freakin' brilliant. I can hear Bush's speech now...
"We must respect our friends in the EU, the UN, and the Security Council. The Iraqi people have suffered enough. I have ordered a stand-down of our forces in the Middle East while we work to establish a diplomatic framework, respectful of Iraq's sovereignty and dignity, which will enable us to lift the sanctions sooner rather than later. Force will not solve our problems, whether in Iraq or in Palestine. I called this press conference to inform you that we are bombing the piss out of the bastards right...about...now."
