We aggressively took over a country in the Middle East. (I'll give you a few moments to let that one sink in.)

Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage said the administration had not yet determined whether to seek a resolution.

A State Department official, asking not to be identified, said it was a difficult sell for the administration, given that many council members believe Washington is to blame for continuing security problems in Iraq.
