Saddam's mass murder system was sold to him by the good ole US of A. Spare me the faux heartbreak, Dooky.

So whats wrong with going and fixing a mistake we made in the past?

Two words. Al Queda.

Perhaps finishing one war, particularly a justified one, before starting another might have been a good idea. Then again, since Plan A always works so well for these neo-con geniuses, why worry?

"which was done in 1990, there was only a cease fire signed at the end of desert storm"

Sorry. Last time Congress declared war was WWII. Thanks for playing, though! We have some lovely parting gifts for you.

"So whats wrong with going and fixing a mistake we made in the past?"

Nothing's wrong with it, per se, but as has been mentioned above, what happened to move Iraq to the head of the line? I can think of much more horrible regimes we installed that need to be cleaned up.

East Timor, anyone?

umm...nice try there lil one

but in order for any military force...save the united states marines to be active in military operations in any foreign country for longer than 90 days, congress has to give approval

and desert shield/storm was longer than 90 days..

so you may take those partings gifts home..i don't need them

Sadly, my prize-laden booby, just because you say it's so don't exactly make it so.

<a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_war_by_the_United_States' target='_blank'>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_o...e_United_States</a>

Lots of good information on that site. I suggest you read it slowly, aloud, and take notes.

Then you can come back to discuss.

Thanks again for playing! You're a lovable little loser! :roflol:

Take a number, they fall in behind Iran, Syria, North Korea and the Saudis.

This is like the recount in florida. The US got the first resolution to go their way, and that's all we should need.

The November, 2002 UN resolution was not an approval.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (CNN) -- U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said an attack on Iraq would be a violation of the U.N. Charter if it does not have the support of the Security Council.

In his strongest statement yet regarding any possible U.S.-led military strike on Iraq, Annan was openly critical of any potential strike without U.N. approval.

Asked at a news conference in The Hague whether an attack would violate the charter, which sets out the rights and obligations of U.N. member states, Annan said, "If the U.S. and others were to go outside the council and take military action, it would not be in conformity with the charter."

cease fire doesn't equal the end of a war there genius

they constantly broke the articles signed in the cease fire and by that act alone we had all the legal grounds in the world to go back into iraq at any time we wished to

don't like it..oh well

Hay, we have the bomb. Lets take out everbody that not only refuses to kiss our a$$ but won't smile when we fart during the process. "Might makes right".....I belive it says that in the bible right after Thou Shall Kill and Covet Thy Neighbors Goods. :bang:

My logic leads you believe N. Korea is a bigger threat to us than East Timor?

Do you know anything about East Timor?

You misunderstood, East Timor is not a "major" priority to the U.S. behinf those country listed. The same way we didnt do anything about Uganda.
