Son of a gun, you're right. Damn, I thought I'd been careful reading it, but I guess I wasn't careful enough.

Me, too. Additionally, as I sit here and think about it, I suppose that the Naval blockade play could be used despite the fact that neither Resolution specifically authorizes the use of force. Bush has us stopping ships going into and out of Iran, Iran defends its shipping, and then we "defend ourselves."
