"Yes the Iraqi War was started by the current administration "
So you, Jill & countless others don't think UN Resolution 687 is a legal document? It is, in fact, the Gulf War Cease Fire Agreement. It clearly lays out that Saddam is required to eliminate all offensive weapons, all of its WMD's & all of its WMD programs. This is to be done under international supervision.
UN Resolution 687 also required Saddam to stop all of its crimes against humanity & to end all ties to terrorist organizations, ET AL.
Any violation of the Cease Fire Agreement would allow the immediate resumption of hostilities. This resolution was to remain in effect until the UN could verify that Saddam was in complete compliance.
The US & the UN bent over backwards for more than 12 years while Saddam relentlessly violated UN Resolution after UN Resolution, all stemming from Resolution 687.
Regardless of your perception of reality, this one fact alone proves that the Bush Admin did not start the Iraqi war. And any reasonable person has to realize there were many other significant factors all at play here.
No doubt the way liberal media & liberal politicians have misrepresented, distorted & outright lied, I can understand how & why so many folks do not have the vaguest idea what really went on.
I'm sure you all know about the latest revelation about the documents found in Iraq showing that Saddam bribed numerous politicians, journalists, etc., to get them to support Saddam & work toward removing all of the sanctions & the inspections? I have noticed that most major media outlets have ignored it like almost every other revelation that shows the lies & deceit from the liberal left regarding Bush & Iraq.
Yup, perceptions & reality. Often at odds with each other & most folks don't bother finding the difference between the two. |
