I keep hearing this thing about "illegal war". What the hell does that mean? What is a "legal war" in comparison? Is there a website that the left/socialist run that I may find the answers to my questions? These nonsense phrases are always used and never explained, so I assume it must be common knowledge that has somehow past me by.
Was WWII legal? WWI? The "war on drugs"? The "war on poverty"? I'm lost here.
But do you really want to know the answers? Why?
Their whole premise during the election was that Bush lied about the war therefore making it illegal.
Didn't you hear all that during the election?
Instead of illegal wars lets concentrate on a war against illegals.
This message is to Sprite518: An illegal war is one that is entered into by unconstitutional means. WWI & WWII were not illegal because Congress declared war as required by the constitution. Further, it is somewhat incorrect to say Korea, Vietnam, Iraq 1 & 2 were illegal wars in that they really are not wars but military actions. However, they are somewhat illegal in the sense that Congress was too scared to declare War themselves, and instead took the easy way out by granting the President authority to use Military force. This may be said to be unconstitutional in that it is really an end around the congressional vote requirement that must be fulfilled to declare war. I hope this clears things up for you.
I wonder the same thing? Illegal to whom?
