Was that a violation of the Hague Conventions? That's still not an answer The answer is "No, it wasn't. The Conventions didn't exist then". But extending matters, It would seem that every nation should apologize to every other for everything that happened during wars between them since Convention violations are no longer a requirement according to you. "Mr. Clinton seemed to think SH had 'em. We just took his word. You liberals told us he was always right." I am not "you liberals" You're not? I never said anything of the sort, and you don't care for anything Clinton "seems to think", so cut the brown stuff :-) So am I to conclude Clinton was totally incompetent? He DID seem to think SH had WMD and DID advocate regime change as did others in his administration. I'm sorry, but if you are going to claim screw-ups were made, you're going to also have to admit they well predated GWB. "This isn't George Bush, dearie, he didn't sleep in the same place every night." Oh sorry. I didn't realize your multi-billion dollar intelligence service was so incompeten that they couldn't find people if they didn't have a permanent address. That, dearie is why you keep changing and keep your next location among a small, trusted, and scared group. But we do know it's easy for Monaco to throw rocks, since their mercenaries (the French Army, for what little that is worth) would never even attempt such a feat. "You think killing him WASN'T tried??????" I am sure it was tried at some point. Not hard enough, obviously. If a fraction of the billions and billions of dollars spent to date on Iraq was put to work on the task, honestly, it could be done easily. It was tried many times. And we're sure you're an expert in these matters. It shows. "Do you remember he was told before the war that if he would leave Iraq, there would be no war?" Can you think of any leader of any country who would say "Oh, Ok then, I'll be off, here's the keys to my country"??? Yeah. Any who had his countries interests at heart since he was facing certain defeat. "Have the French apologized to any of them?" I believe they have apologized formally for Algeria in particular. You want me to defend brutal colonization, be it by French or English or whomever? You might wait a long while. To put ot differently, no, the French have not apologized for all the innocents they have killed. "She's a d*** smart woman." As you've said, "sorry, I can't see your 3D". If so, she does a fine job of hiding it anyway. Oh, I think you will get a demonstration soon enough.
