If that is the case, we have nothing to argue about. Bush acted on available intelligence, and also announced liberation of the Iraqi people as one of our goals. You have just conceded that he did not need UN approval, and therefore did not need his cause to be universally approved. Thanks for acknowledging that he acted within his rights, even if the legal argument were set aside........

WMDs in sadaams hands was actionable cause. Everyone except Maurice and Scott Ritter believe saddam had wmds. None of us are really sure if those weapons didnt wind up in syria. And then as NC always points out, his desire to recostitute after sanctions faded away was even a worse threat. Thats reasonable cause if the assumptions are correct. Of course with the rear view mirror no action ever taken cant be criticised. Mike
