as to a formal declaration of war, the us hasnt declared wr on anybody since world war II. but to authorize a military action like we have is still authorization for going over there as for as the american military is concerned, no one else really matters..... well to me anyway, but im sure that there are differing opinions.


Doc...in addition to that am I not correct that after the first round with Saddam there was a cease fire in place and with that Saddam didn't comply with the conditions of the cease fire there was no need for a declaration of war when the original one was still alive....

As for the war being illegal. Uhh no its not. Declaring War isn't illegal lol.


There was no Declaration of War by Congress (the only body authorized to declare war) against Iraq. It is an Authorized Military Engagement which falls short of a formal Declaration of War.

Iraq War, also known as Operation Iraqi Freedom (Authorization...H.J. Res. 114,October 16, 2002)
(Senate vote...77-23)
(House vote...296-133)


The reason many consider it as illegal is that the reasons given were incorrect. They just figure that Bush wanted to finish what his father had started.


Well, either way we had to go ahead from congress to do this. Its not illegal.

A moral war... there's an oxymoron.
