With the information provided at the time the war was not illegal thus it isn't illegal. For example if I knowingly purchase a stolen car I am committing a crime. If you sell me a stolen car but have false documents stating it is yours and I believe you I didn't commit a crime only you. Thus you act of selling me a stolen car was illegal but my act of purchasing it wasn't. Thus I say the war was not illegal.

As if most of the links you provide are credible.

I wouldnt be ashamed if I were you most americans live in a fantasy world. The links I provided go directly in most cases to treaties we have signed renouncing wars of agression. To repeat by the terms of Nuremburg americas invasion of Iraq is Illegal. Any treaty america signs is binding. However international law is something this countrie uses to punish foes and ignored when it applies to the US. We also ignore the Geneva convention by haveing some lawyer claim terrorists are not realy "legal" combatents. News flash America tortures and kills civilains all because Bush lied.

point!

I need not to provide links. Simply rewind the CNN coverage of the gulf area during the first 'build' up to 'protect' all them contries from Saddam.

CNN was actually making fun of Iraq because they 'fled' before US warplanes could engage. 41 aircraft or more 'fled' to Iran in a mass flight moments before US warplans engaged in Iraqi airspace for their first sorties.

Look it up... There were some actual fighters in that group but most were large transport planes.

And Iran seized them as soon as they landed. It is HISTORY and there for he can look it up for himself.

This makes zero sense as Kuwait, the reason for the war, was an area of interest during the Iraq/Iran war. It was formed from an area that was fought hard over during that war.
Both countries wanted it for the same reasons as the US.
OIL!

Britain gave them their independence in 1961. Before that and still today, Iraq claims it.They acquired it in a peace settlement from the Ottoman Empire.

Why upon invading Kuwait would Iraq and Saddam have tried to hide weapons in IRAN?
Especially since Iran wanted nothing more than Saddam to die.

I would also like to see the source of your information.

I think the misinformed opinion you have is based on the fact that yes the Iraqi air force did fly to Iran. When the US began busting the bunkers the planes were hideing in the iraqis had achoice of do nothing and watch the planes be destroyed in their hardned silos or send them away. Iran has not returned the planes. The facts are no one has ever said they fled with WMDS and its a total fabrication.

And the United States for the Manhattan Project and the splitting of the atom......its true its true.....my grandmother was involved.......blame countries for fighting over pwer and wealth that technically doesn't exist.......blame the governments of the world for quarreling over insignificant ********......blame those that wish to dictate and control....blame those that hold control in anger and death......blame those that choose to hate over love.....everyone around the world remains guilty

While were at it can we blame Bush for the Spanish inquisition...PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE???

We would have to go back to Nixon for that one..............

Yes because we all know North Korea wasn't trying to build nukes before Bush was president. But I guess he was alive so maybe it was his fault... right?

The entire point of this thread showes how Bush neglected the real threat and chose to chase his make believe threat in Iraq.

And somehow you don't think there were smoke screens in place and manipulations pointing him to the Middle East since the Reagan era to cover up the goings ons in Asia.......you don't think false information was dropped in their laps........this design has been going on for a long time.......the real attacks have been going on behind the scenes all along.......the US government has been dupped successfully......the bigger they are the harder they fall...........ingenious if I do say so myself.......and the sleeping giant slept right threw it......fools

Not realy and happy new year to you thanks for your opinion.

My feelings are that there were zero credability to an Iraqi WMD program, even the CIA said so.

On Sept. 18, 2002, CIA director George Tenet briefed President Bush in the Oval Office on top-secret intelligence that Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction, according to two former senior IA officers. Bush dismissed as worthless this information from the Iraqi foreign minister, a member of Saddam’s inner circle, although it turned out to be accurate in every detail. Tenet never brought it up again. Nor was the intelligence included in the National Intelligence Estimate of October 2002, which stated categorically that Iraq possessed WMD.

No one in Congress was aware of the secret intelligence that Saddam had no WMD as the House of Representatives and the Senate voted, a week after the submission of the NIE, on the Authorization for Use of Military Force in Iraq. The information, moreover, was not circulated within the CIA among those agents involved in operations to prove whether Saddam had WMD.

On April 23, 2006, CBS’s “60 Minutes” interviewed Tyler Drumheller, the former CIA chief of clandestine operations for Europe, who disclosed that the agency had received documentary intelligence from Naji Sabri, Saddam’s foreign minister, that Saddam did not have WMD. “We continued to validate him the whole way through,” said Drumheller. “The policy was set. The war in Iraq was coming, and they were looking for intelligence to fit into the policy, to justify the policy.”
