UN Security Council gave approval for Iraqi Governing Council....

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3164675.stm

<snip>
On 14 August the Council gave its approval to the recently formed Iraqi Governing Council and it also approved the establishment of a United National Assistance Mission in Iraq (Unami).

The UN might therefore have been seen by the Iraqi resistance as an instrument of the United States and Britain in their occupation of the country.
=====================================================================

Does this mean they don't approve of the new government setup of the US ? ...under the guise of the UN ?
