Nope. That's why it went into enforcement mode. The UN could have put embargoes and blockades in place and brought Iraq to it's knees. But numerous member nations had backroom deals going, like Germany selling weapons to them, the Oil for Food scam, etc.Do countries have to obey UN resolutions including the United States?
So How much time are you giving Daesh terrorist scum to get to Baghdad?
Peach 9603618Maliki is bringing in troops because he wants a third term; ISIS not there.
BH 9603639Not yet give them time.
Have you changed your tune on believing that Daesh terrorist scum can reach Baghdad?

You mean in '03? We were 2 years from 9/11 and the thinking was a more proactive role was necessary as the cost of doing nothing was obviously so high. The fear was that Saddam could do far worse. The UN should have put on their big boy pants and dealt with it, they were inspecting Iraq, or trying to, for a reason. People forget now but Americans have notorious short memories and attention spans.Why the takeover? Why so quick? All of a sudden America is turning on all of them. Arab Spring. aka SUNNI SPRING.
Saddam did not give them unfettered access, that was the complaint! It's why he was in violation UN resolutions.

I never thought Saddam stupid.Personally I thought him brilliant like Ghaddafi. sp?

elieved the wmd issue was merely a way to demonize Saddam in the eyes of the world...as we prepared to attack.
It went on for ten years! The US did not need the UN's permission but Saddam had violated the terms of surrender from the prior war. We had a coalition force then, the UN fumbling around with yet another hopeless resolution didn't change the facts.Icew 10865842Saddam did not give them unfettered access, that was the complaint!

"Saddam did not give them unfettered access"
Prior to UN Resolution 1441 that is true. It's why inspectors left in 1998 and Clinton bombed them.
After 1441 that statement is a lie. We are talking about after UN Resolution 1441 which passed unanimously in November 2002 which of course included the approval of the USA.
So the basis of your argument in terns of 2003 is a lie, or you are totally ignorant of what UN Res 1441 meant in terms of international law and justification or non-justification for the use of force against Iraq.
1441 gave S. Hussein a final opportunity to comply. His many years of violations were held pending the outcome of the 1441 enhanced inspection regime. S.Hussein was never found to be in material breach of 1441 and that is why the UN refused to authorize the use of force and so Bush and Blair attacked Iraq on their own.
GFY Foo. I've never said such a thing. You've been lying about this for 11 years. Drop it for gods sake!10865725elieved the wmd issue was merely a way to demonize Saddam in the eyes of the world...as we prepared to attack.
It's good that you love to admit that Bush lied America into a war. But then it's out that you were somehow duped into believing Bush was hellbent on killing tens of thousands of Muslims in order to save them from Saddam and sons. I would never accuse Bush of being that cruel and that ignorant. It easy to see that you are a cruel and ignorant human being with that often repeated post.

ISIS calls al Qaeda modernists, you don't know what you're talking about.
Icew 10864855ISIS calls al Qaeda modernists, you don't know what you're talking about.
ISIS evolved from AQI like I said. AQI was a separate organization that split off from the AQ in February 2014 and they became ISIS. What they think of AQ now has nothing to do with there development inside US invaded Iraq from 2004 on.
I have an Idea, How about the RW run on a platform that Invading Iraq was a good idea?
Actually keep bringing it up. All the time and how it was a good idea..
Please do it...
What you SHOULD be asking (but you won't, because you are the scum of the earth) is why the Lying Cocksucker in Chief refused to push for SOFA with Iraq.
In fact, every Intelligence service on earth thought Saddam had WMDs.
I didn't think Saddam had WMDs and if he did, they weren't deliverable
Bush went into Iraq and de-stabilized the entire region. Bad move.
But he won the War and had the region moving in the direction of democracy and civil rights for everybody -- Even women.
Upon what basis do you believe that Saddam would have honored any agreement?
remaining from years earlier in Saddam Hussein’s rule.

There's your problem. Bush claimed new stockpiles of the most lethal weapons ever devised were being hidden from the 1441 era inspectors in March 2003. Bush admits what he waged war over were not there.
They just found a live WWII bomb in soccer field in Germany....No one was demanding 100% accountability for old weapons where most of them were not usable for warfare. You are grasping for straws. Blackhawk is right - the war was a mistake.
anyone who announces a complete troop withdraw date deadline for all the world to be made aware ... is by far not the most intelligent individual
