Ummmm I agree 100%. I dont really know how my quote meant that american soldiers should run if they are afraid of what the next club might do in the future. My point was I think countries should be able to do what is in their best interest without having to ask anyone for permission.
Other than a comment by Annan be so kind as to provide us with the UN sanctions, the UN declaration of illegal activity, the UN paper work declaring the US and ALL her allies acted against the UN charter. I know you can not, because none of those things occured.
Now if your going to claim because the Senior person in the UN made a comment that makes it official, then I guess we get to remind you of all the things Bush has said and claim thats all it takes to make it official.
Annan called for NO action because he knew he was talking out of his ass.

If we measure their support of this invasion by the number of troops they sent, then I'd say it wasn't just thin, it was practically non-existence: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/iraq_orbat_coalition.htm

Usual response when forced to face the fact it was NOT UNILATERAL. Just another talking point lie of the left and anti war crowd. Just like the claim all those nations violated the UN charter, yet no action was taken.
Here lets play Maineman's game. Clinton was never convicted of perjury there fore he never committed it. Now ask him if the US violated the UN charter.
CIA, Environmental Protection Agency, SEC are "independent" agencies, because they don't fall under one of the traditional Executive Branche DEPARTMENTS like Defense, Treasury, or Commerce. Because they were formed with a specifiic purpose in mind, which doesn't fall under on of the traditional branches.
CIA is still under the Executive Branch, and Bush appoints and chooses all the leadership positions for CIA. Just as he does with the Environmental Protection Agency.
If CIA was "Independent" in your understanding of the word, why is Bush picking their leadership? Why isn't their leadership chosen by an independent, non-partisan body???
Uh huh. Who appoints the head of the CIA?

You do NOT get to claim that because the UN did not pass a resolution FOR the Invasion, the Invasion was in violation of the UN charter. Only the UN gets to make that charge and guess what? They have NOT. You can not even claim that the US and her allies prevented the action, since no motion to do so was EVER made at all.
The US laid out why the Invasion met the requirements of the relevant UN treaties we are signed up to. Thus eliminating the claim it was an illegal action. Unless the UN takes official action then the simple fact is the US did NOT violate the treaties we are signed with at the UN.
The US STATED why the invasion met the UN charter and unless the UN takes official action to declare and justify those claims are false, they STAND. END of STORY.
The head of the CIA does not gather nor collect nor correlate or decipher intelligence assets or intercepts. He simply insures the Agency has a boss. And the CIA head up to and after the US invasion was not even a Bush appointee. He was appointed by Clinton.
It is a parallel and fine comparison.

The CIA director is appointed by the President by the advisement and confirmation of the Senate.

I never had suggested that Clinton did not lie under oath...only that he is not guilty of the crime of perjury - anymore that Teddy Kennedy is guilty of the crime of murder....both crimes your repeatedly claim they are guilty of.
Republicans bitch 24/7 about how useless the United Nations is, yet use UN resolutions as justification for going to war to disarm a guy who had no arms.
go figure.
It's moronic, posted by a person with a brain smaller than a walnut.
Iraq is probably THE most VITAL strategic location on earth. It sits at the top of the most vital waterway in the world and next to world's biggest threat to that waterway.
The fact you don't get that proves you have no cognitive thinking ability at all.
Now go do something you can actually do....like pick your own naval lint.
