DID SADDAM BOMB OUR SHIP AND KILL OUR SAILORS? I'm not arguing about taking Saddam out. I have said in another thread a covert operation ran by the Pentagon should have been the course years ago against him and a couple of others.

I have no idea where you are going with that. In you want a clear picture of the Iraq War see UNSCR1441.
An act of war that was completely ignored by both Billy Bob Clinton and 90 days later therew abouts Bush. Who forced a U.S. militaery plane out of the sky and to land giving up classified information? What was the majority nationality of the 9/1 bombers. Which nation gave haven to and allowed the COLE Bombers to escape. My point is at least two other nations we know for certain supporting terrorism and what was done? Where are the COLE Bombers? What nations prison did the escape from? Don't concentrate on what the right hand is doing while the left one steals you blind.
You really should read UNSCR 1441. That is what the Iraq War is about -- 12 years of Saddam's 17 breached UNSCRs.
You really should read the U.S. Constitution and George Washington's farewell address concerning treaties and entanglements. We should have Never became an enforcement arm of the U.N. How do I feel about the U.N. Get the U.N. out of the U.S. including it's shills operating within in our government. It's a crying shame supposed Conservatives using UNSCR to support what they believe and what the U.S. should do.
Well, I wasn't exactly saying anything about being an enforcement for the UN. You ran with that ball. I simply stated the the reasons for Iraq can be found listed in UNSCR 1441 and prior UNSCRs.
Clarification: Our Declaration of War against Iraq should not have even contained the words United Nations, U.N. Security Council, or any other nations name but our and Iraq's. Our intentions for war should have been stated to our national interest only {a paragraph would suffice} and should not have been stated to enforce U.N.S.C.R's but own own sole interest.
The reasons for Iraq can be found in Gerald Ford's E. O. protecting heads of state supporting terrorism. Things went down hill very fast after that. Our Congressional Declaration of war was a U.N. U.N.S.C.R. violation filled writ. Our Declaration of war with Germany and Japan was two paragraphs long. What's wrong with this picture?
Thanks for that link
