Actually, President Bush can use 1 of the 2 following reasons to go into Iraq without anyones further permission. or both.

A: Saddam has broken the treaty that he signed for peace in 1991, by kicking out the inspectors, this opens him up to further attack from the Gulf war, open ended you might say. In other words it never really ended. Bush does not need permission to heat the gulf war back up. Operation desert Storm, CONTINUED...

B: Get the proof that Saddam had anything to do with 911, if he can prove that, his declaration is already in place.

So either A or B, President Bush has his permission, he can start the attack whenever he feels like it.

While I realize he might use that as justification, it is a real thin excuse, IMO

Proof that he was a significant player will do it for me.

The Czech version of the CIA keeps insisting that Mohammed Atta (may he burn in Hell forever) met with Iraqi intelligence before 9/11; bleating denials from the Washington Post and Newsweek notwithstanding.

The head of the Czech agency even went public saying (to the effect of) "I don't know what you people are talking about; Atta met with this man; we know this man is Iraqi intelligence"

I don't think the Czechs have any motive to make this up. Why would they?

A. Do you really support the United Nations? What about sovereign nations? Could they not do the same thing to us in the future?

B. They could make it up if they wanted to. The government has lied many times in the past. Who's to say that they won't do it again.
