and the events of the day did not provide the US nor any nation with the right to go to war on Iraq. Legally incorrect..... Any sovereign nation has the right to act in its own defense if it identifies a serious security risk......in light of 9/11....President Bush identified Iraq as such a risk and acted accordingly.... You pantywaisted pinheads would have been the first to call for Bush's head if he had failed to act and something had happened..... J.

"You will also recall that the US was pressing to include - but was denied - a clause that would automatically escalate the situation to conflict. " IZZAT so? Perhaps you can point me to a credible link discussing that. Then you might want to include an obfuscation or two that allows you to ignore the absolute corruption at the UN & by member nations of the UN Security Council. You may want to squirm a while about how the Oil-for-Food scandal allowed Saddam to bribe his way into protection from UN Sanctions. You might want to BS your way around the lucrative contracts he gave for additional protection from the UN & the US. And you may want to completely ignore all the illegal arms purchases he made that garnered outrageous profits for certain UN countries with veto powers on the UN Security Council too. But hey! All of your obfuscations, distortions, misrepresentations, half truths & outright lies allow you to pretend you still have the high moral ground as you pass off discredited lies about God & Bush, ET AL.
