"Well show us the UN resolution to authorize the preempt invasion of Iraq and try to do it in lower case, you idiot." <font size=5>There was no pre-emptive war. That's a fact. <font size=4> The cease fire agreement from Desert Storm included Iraq's agreement to COMPLETELY DISARM ITSELF of all offensive weapons, incliding WMD's, WMD programs & WMD materials. It included offensive missiles too. The fact that 17 UN resolutions completely failed in achieving this, the violation of the cease fire agreement was sufficient legal grounds to resume hostilities. However, most of the 17 UN resolutions left the door open to the use of force, with Relolution 1441 making this painfully clear & unambiguous. <font size=4>U.N. Security Council Resolution 1441 Security Council Tightens Iraqi Disarmament Regime .....United Nations -- The Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution November 8 strengthening the weapons inspection regime for Iraq and giving Baghdad, in the words of the resolution, <font size=5>"a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations."..... <font size=4> ....The resolution states that Iraq remains in material breach of council resolutions relating to Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait and requires that Baghdad give UNMOVIC and IAEA a complete and accurate declaration of all aspects of its chemical, biological and nuclear weapons programs and ballistic missiles systems, as well as information on other chemical, biological, and nuclear programs that are supposed to be for civilian purposes, within 30 days..... <font size=5> .....Finally, it warns Iraq that "it will face serious consequences" if it continues to violate its obligations as spelled out in the resolution.<font size=3> usinfo.state.gov
