Quote:Wait! I forgot Resolution 678! Forgive me! Resolution 678, you see, is specifically incorporated into both Resolutions 687 and 1441 by reference. Resolution 678 was passed in 1990, after Saddam invaded Kuwait. This resolution told Saddam to get the hell out, and authorized "Member States co-operating with the Government of Kuwait ... to use all necessary means to uphold and implement resolution 660 and all subsequent relevant resolutions and to restore international peace and security in the area." (Resolution 660 merely demanded that Iraq withdraw from Kuwait. Iraq didn't. George H.W. Bush made him.) So ... even if you went to a government school; hell, even if you vote for Democrats you can see that under Resolution 678 the United States, a Member State of the United Nations, has the authority under that resolution, and under 687 and 1441 to kick Saddam to the curb.

Yes, I remember the door being left somewhat ajar. I think that the UN cat nudged it open a little more. Then there was a breeze that opened it even more. Then Bush & Cheney, seeing the door left so invitingly open, stepped through it. AU, you REALLY need a job in the White House as a professional spin doctor, you'd be better than most at it given your belief in the garbage you spew. isall

Quote:While some politicians have argued that the resolution could authorize war under certain circumstances, the representatives in the meeting were clear that this was not the case. The ambassador for the United States, John Negroponte, said: “ [T]his resolution contains no "hidden triggers" and no "automaticity" with respect to the use of force. If there is a further Iraqi breach, reported to the Council by UNMOVIC, the IAEA or a Member State, the matter will return to the Council for discussions as required in paragraph 12.[2] ” The ambassador for the United Kingdom, the co-sponsor of the resolution, said: “ We heard loud and clear during the negotiations the concerns about "automaticity" and "hidden triggers" -- the concern that on a decision so crucial we should not rush into military action; that on a decision so crucial any Iraqi violations should be discussed by the Council. Let me be equally clear in response... There is no "automaticity" in this resolution. If there is a further Iraqi breach of its disarmament obligations, the matter will return to the Council for discussion as required in paragraph 12. We would expect the Security Council then to meet its responsibilities.[3]

Quote:Originally posted by SignyM: Rapo, I can Wiki too. So I noticed that you left out some essential parts, specifically the part which said: Quote:While some politicians have argued that the resolution could authorize war under certain circumstances, the representatives in the meeting were clear that this was not the case.

Stop going over old ground and trying to make reality something other than what is was. --------------------------------- Let's party like it's 1929.

Quote:Sorry, but Saddam's credibility and his word wasn't worth all that much by then. His previous lies and games played cost him. No, no caveat required w/ the U.N. sanctions. Read the resolutions. Everything is specifically spelled out. They just didn't think we'd actually carry it out. We did. And it was purely legal.
