Ministers in Britain were secretly told that the United States were set on "regime change" in Iraq...
I like the philosophical question posed as to what makes a war really legal?
Remember war is good, until it conflicts with a leftist and Homo-Leninist agenda; just look at Africa, Middle East and Bosnia…
Who you gonna believe? ;-)
There is no INTERNATIONAL LAW since there is NOT ONE BIG GOVERNMENT of the world!
Case closed!
This is a bad HOAX from the libtard propaganda machine(obaMAO involved?)
i’d say that bush’s intellegance on iraq was probally 80%- i would have liked to have seen photos, or a team go in there to varify- the commander in chief needs to be 100% positive before he puts americans soldiers in harms way. i think bush was alittle aggressive towards iraq, but it is a 2 headed coin also- are we better off with S. Hussein gone? yeah, i think so
“Either war is obsolete or men are’’.
Was the Iraq war illegal?
Yes 50%
No 50%
You voted: No
It wasn’t illegal.
We were in a state of cessation of hostilities form Gulf War I.
Iraq had repeatedly broken 17 of the 29 requirements for a continued “Cessation of Hostilities”.
In the lense of 911, we were done and had every right to resume hostilities. However, we went to the U.N. and sought their stamp of approval, for resumption and to enforce our 1998 Iraq Liberation Act, which was signed into law by all 100 Senators, at that time and Bill Clinton, the then current President.
The United States acted as lead in a coalition of several countries and with the consent of the U.N.
Was the Iraq war Illegal? No. It had lasted 12 years longer than necessary.
Yep. It was the intent of the United States Government to remove the Sadaam Regime.
And in the end, Cheney didn't make much if anything out of Iraq oil, so there was really little if anything behind all the anti Bush conspiracy oil mongering which was always light on facts and strong on what ifs, anyway. But Bush and Cheney haters will probably never let the facts stop their dishonest hatefest.
I always thought the WMD stuff was kaa-kaa, and said so here, but once we went in, I shut up about it. Still the point is, why did we knock off Saddam? FWIW, I don’t hate Cheney. Not fond of Bush but more over economic stuff than this. I am just curious about the truth.
parsy, who remembers the hoopla about invading Iraq
When that expired, Dec 31, 2008, the legal basis was the Status of Forces Agreement aka Iraq Security Agreement
The new Iraq government, not 'we', executed Saddam, if that's what you mean. That was their option, of course. You may mean something else than this, but its impossible to tell from what you posted so far.
You may have felt that WMD's didn't exist before the Iraq War, but few others believed that. Right before the Iraq War, even Democrats in Congress were creating legislation and making speeches against Saddam for having WMD. Now these nauseating LW hypocrites are pretending they were never on board the WMD wagon right up to the beginning of the Iraq War.
The left is making a mad dash for ‘regine’ change in the US. Their goal is a solidly totalitarian govt.
[[Was the Iraq war illegal? Poll]]
How about a better poll?
Were the actions of Saddam, putting people through meatgrinders while they were alive, setting people in fore- Stripping the meat from peopel whiel they screamed for mercy, throwing people off tall buildings, beheadign htem, raping them- Were those actions illegal, and a massive travesty that the world COULD NOT IGNORE?
‘Was the Iraq war legal’? Cripes!
‘Was the Iraq war legal’? Cripes! It was a freaking duty to take out that madman which the UN IGNORED for years! If anythign, waiting as long as they did to do absolutely nothing shoudl be concidered illegal- NOT the waR!
Yes 53%
well that settlews it then- people’s opinions are more important than stopping a mass murderer- swell- lovely world we live in- Hooray for us- to hell with anyone else
