Annan: War in Iraq 'Illegal'
Doubts the future of Iraq

By ABC12/The Associated Press
United Nations — (09/16/04)-- U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan says America's decision to go to war in Iraq without the Security Council's approval was "illegal."
Annan made the comment to the BBC after being asked three times whether the lack of council approval for the war meant it was illegal. He finally said, "From our point of view and the U.N. Charter point of view it was illegal."

He also told the BBC the wave of violence engulfing Iraq puts in doubt the national elections scheduled for January. He says if the security conditions continue as they are now, there cannot be credible elections

The most favorable outcome described is an Iraq whose stability would remain tenuous in political, economic and security terms.

IOW, the most favorable outcome is about 100 US soldiers getting killed every month... indefinitely. And that is "the most favorable outcome". Sheesh!

Thanks to Dumbya and his arrogant neocon gang and their stupid followers!
