(2002-09-12) -- In a surprise move, the U.N. Security Council voted this afternoon to back an invasion of Iraq. Many nations in the general assembly pledged their financial support for the effort to oust Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
The vote came after U.S. President George Bush's compelling address to the 190-nation body. But apparently the speech was not what changed the hearts and minds of the delegates.
That task was accomplished by a hastily-scribbled note Bush left on the podium. The note, which was read to the delegates said this:
You're either with us, or you're paying off your parking tickets."
It was signed "With Love, GWB".
Many delegates interviewed afterward said it would be cheaper to spend a few million on a war than to cover the multi-millions in unpaid citations given to delegates who have thusfar enjoyed "diplomatic immunity."
