Huey, the debate here, if you look beyond GST's ever-moving goal posts, was over whether further military action against Iraq in 1991 would have violated international law or was explicitly prohibited by UN resolution, not over whether we should or should not have marched to Baghdad. Since Powell, Schwarzkopf and Bush #41 decided against marching to Baghdad, it is not surprising that they would define the mission as having been accomplished. The question here was simply whether it would have been illegal and it seems abundantly clear, based on the UN charter, the actual UN resolutions that authorized "all necessary means", and established rights of nations (and given the failure of anyone here to show otherwise), that it would not have been illegal.

Regards,
Bob
