The United States has gone to war a number of times without UN support. Why should this time be any different, if we do so? Aren't we taking the UN *more* seriously this time around, by working so hard to gain its consent? We're hardly acting as though it is irrelevant.
If the US would agree to abide by whatever the UNSC decides, then it would be taking the UN seriously. However, the statement that the US will go to war even if it doesn't get UN backing sends the message that the US is not really taking the UN seriously.
