How to declare war

Ari Fleischer, Bush's minister for preventing Bush from saying incomprehensible things, was reported today as saying that the USA would not be insisting that Iraq has made a material breach of the UN resolution 1441 just yet. He was reported as saying that the USA would not be declaring a material breach until they had declared war on Iraq. Hmmm ... Ari is falling down on the job, I think. I would have thought that he should have said that he would not declare war until there had been a material breach. Of course, he may have been reported incorrectly, but then that would spoil my chance to criticise this USA government who seems bent making war at all costs.
